⁸ I will keep your rules: O give me not up completely.

¹⁵ And if it seems evil to you to be the servants of the Lord, make the decision this day whose servants you will be: of the gods whose servants your fathers were across the River, or of the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living: but I and my house will be the servants of the Lord.

¹⁷⁶ I have gone out of the way like a wandering sheep; make search for your servant; for I keep your teachings ever in mind.

¹¹⁵ Go far from me, you evil-doers; so that I may keep the teachings of my God.

¹¹⁶ Be my support as you have said, and give me life; let not my hope be turned to shame.

¹¹⁷ Let me not be moved, and I will be safe, and ever take delight in your rules.

¹⁰⁶ I have made an oath and kept it, to be guided by your upright decisions.

¹⁶ I will have delight in your rules; I will not let your word go out of my mind.

¹⁸ Now when I am old and grey-headed, O God, give me not up; till I have made clear your strength to this generation, and your power to all those to come.

⁹ Do not give me up when I am old; be my help even when my strength is gone.

¹¹ Do not put me away from before you, or take your holy spirit from me.

²¹ Do not give me up, O Lord; O my God, be near to me.

²² Come quickly to give me help, O Lord, my salvation.

¹³ I am able to do all things through him who gives me strength.
