If only I were predisposed to keep your statutes!

ג (Gimel) Be kind to your servant! Then I will live and keep your instructions.

Give me understanding so that I might observe your law, and keep it with all my heart.

Then I will keep your law continually now and for all time.

I remember your name during the night, O Lord, and I will keep your law.

ח (Khet) The Lord is my source of security. I have determined to follow your instructions.

I keep your commands eagerly and without delay.

Revive me with your loyal love, that I might keep the rules you have revealed.

I have vowed and solemnly sworn to keep your just regulations.

Deliver me from oppressive men, so that I can keep your precepts.

I cried out to you, “Deliver me, so that I can keep your rules.”

I keep your rules; I love them greatly.

to guard the paths of the righteous and to protect the way of his pious ones.

Discretion will protect you, understanding will guard you,

Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will guard you.

Do not let them depart from your sight, guard them within your heart;

in order to safeguard discretion, and that your lips may guard knowledge.

by keeping you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the loose woman.

My child, keep my words and treasure up my commands in your own keeping.

Keep my commands so that you may live, and obey my instruction as your most prized possession.
