17  ^gDeal bountifully with your servant,

^hthat I may live and keep your word.

18  Open my eyes, that I may behold

wondrous things out of your law.

19  I am ⁱa sojourner on the earth;

^jhide not your commandments from me!

20  My soul is consumed with ^klonging

for your rules¹ at all times.

21  You rebuke ^lthe insolent, ^maccursed ones,

who ⁿwander from your commandments.

22  Take away from me ^oscorn and contempt,

^pfor I have kept your testimonies.

23  Even though ^qprinces sit plotting against me,

your servant will ^rmeditate on your statutes.

24  Your testimonies are my ^sdelight;

they are my ^tcounselors.
