Its different stanzas explore obedience, suffering, persecution, hope, wisdom, and the desire to know the commandments. The repetition of terms related to law, testimonies, statutes, and precepts does not represent mere monotony, but multiple dimensions of divine revelation.

Siehe, ich begehre deiner Befehle; erquicke mich mit deiner Gerechtigkeit.

Voici, je désire pratiquer tes ordonnances: Fais-moi vivre dans ta justice!
Ecco, io desidero affettuosamente i tuoi comandamenti; Vivificami nella tua giustizia
Eis que tenho desejado os teus preceitos; vivifica-me na tua justiça.
看哪,我切慕你的訓詞, 求你因你的公義賜我生命 !
