Ver. 17—Grant favor unto thy servant,

That I may live and keep Thy Word;

Wonderful things out of Thy law;

Ver. 19—Greatly am I estranged from the world;

Hide not Thy commandments from me;

Ver. 20—Grievously my soul breaks -

For the longing it hath for Thy judgments at all times;

Ver. 21—Going astray from Thy commandments-

The proud are cursed and rebuked by Thee;

Ver. 22—Grant that reproach and contempt may be removed-

For I have kept Thy testimonies;

Ver. 23—Great men (lit. princes) did set and speak against me;

But Thy servant did meditate in Thy statutes;

Ver. 24—Greatly delightful and instructive

Are Thy testimonies.
