Psalm 119:33-40

Teach me, Lord, the meaning of your laws,
and I will obey them at all times.
Explain your law to me, and I will obey it;
I will keep it with all my heart.
Keep me obedient to your commandments,
because in them I find happiness.
Give me the desire to obey your laws
rather than to get rich.
Keep me from paying attention to what is worthless;
be good to me, as you have promised.
Keep your promise to me, your servant—
the promise you make to those who obey you.
Save me from the insults I fear;
how wonderful are your judgments!
I want to obey your commands;
give me new life, for you are righteous.
