ג (Gimel)
119:17 Be kind to your servant!
Then I will live 1 and keep 2 your instructions. 3
119:18 Open 4 my eyes so I can truly see 5
the marvelous things in your law!
119:19 I am like a foreigner in this land. 6
Do not hide your commands from me!
119:20 I desperately long to know 7
your regulations at all times.
119:21 You reprimand arrogant people.
Those who stray from your commands are doomed. 8
119:22 Spare me 9 shame and humiliation,
for I observe your rules.
119:23 Though rulers plot and slander me, 10
your servant meditates on your statutes.
119:24 Yes, I find delight in your rules;
they give me guidance. 11
ד (Dalet)
119:25 I collapse in the dirt. 12
Revive me with your word! 13
119:26 I told you about my ways 14 and you answered me.
Teach me your statutes!
119:27 Help me to understand what your precepts mean! 15
Then I can meditate 16 on your marvelous teachings. 17
119:28 I collapse 18 from grief.
Sustain me by your word! 19
119:29 Remove me from the path of deceit! 20
Graciously give me 21 your law!
119:30 I choose the path of faithfulness;
I am committed to 22 your regulations.
119:31 I hold fast 23 to your rules.
O Lord, do not let me be ashamed!
119:32 I run along the path of your commands,
for you enable me to do so. 24
