I am full of hate and disgust for false words; but I am a lover of your law. Seven times a day do I give you praise, because of your upright decisions. Great peace have lovers of your law; they have no cause for falling. Lord, my hope has been in your salvation; and I have kept your teachings. My soul has kept your unchanging word; great is my love for it. I have been ruled by your orders; for all my ways are before you. Let my cry come before you, O Lord; give me wisdom in keeping with your word. Let my prayer come before you; take me out of trouble, as you have said. Let my lips be flowing with praise, because you have given me knowledge of your rules. Let my tongue make songs in praise of your word; for all your teachings are righteousness. Let your hand be near for my help; for I have given my heart to your orders. All my desire has been for your salvation, O Lord; and your law is my delight. Give life to my soul so that it may give you praise; and let your decisions be my support. I have gone out of the way like a wandering sheep; make search for your servant; for I keep your teachings ever in mind.”
