[25] My soul clings to the dust; give me life according to your word! [26] When I told of my ways, you answered me; teach me your statutes! [27] Make me understand the way of your precepts, and I will meditate on your wondrous works. [28] My soul melts away for sorrow; strengthen me according to your word! [29] Put false ways far from me and graciously teach me your law! [30] I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I set your rules before me. [31] I cling to your testimonies, O LORD; let me not be put to shame! [32] I will run in the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart!”
