17 Do good to me and I will live;
your servant will obey your word.
18 Open my eyes that I may see
great wonders in your law, O LORD.
19 I am a stranger on the earth;
do not hide your commands from me.
20 Consumed with longing is my soul,
because your laws I yearn to see.
21 You have rebuked the insolent;
they’re cursed who from your precepts stray.
22 Remove from me contempt and scorn,
for all your statutes I obey.
23 Though rulers plot to harm my name,
I’ll meditate on your decree.
24 Your statutes are my great delight,
for they are counselors to me.
