Take not your true word quite out of my mouth; for I have put my hope in your decisions.

So that I may keep your law for ever and ever;

So that my way may be in a wide place: because my search has been for your orders.

So that I may give knowledge of your unchanging word before kings, and not be put to shame.

And so that I may take delight in your teachings, to which I have given my love.

And so that my hands may be stretched out to you; and I will give thought to your rules.

Keep in mind your word to your servant, for on it has my hope been fixed.
