I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.
TZADDI. Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, and upright [are] thy judgments.
Thy testimonies [that] thou hast commanded [are] righteous and very faithful.
My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.
Thy word [is] very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
