[119:17] Be good to me, your servant, so that I may live and obey your teachings.
[119:18] Open my eyes, so that I may see the wonderful truths in your law.
[119:19] I am here on earth for just a little while; do not hide your commands from me.
[119:20] My heart aches with longing; I want to know your judgments at all times.
[119:21] You reprimand the proud; cursed are those who disobey your commands.
[119:22] Free me from their insults and scorn, because I have kept your laws.
[119:23] The rulers meet and plot against me, but I will study your teachings.
[119:24] Your instructions give me pleasure; they are my advisers.
