I am laid low in the dust Preserve my life according to your word I recounted my ways and you answered me Teach me your decrees Let me understand the teaching of your precepts Then I will meditate on your wonders My soul is weary with sorrow Strengthen me according to your word Keep me from deceitful ways Be gracious to me through your law I have chosen the way of truth I have set my heart on your laws I hold fast to your statutes, O Lord Do not let me be put to shame I run in the path of your commands For you have set my heart free
