Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged! I have dwelt with the inhabitants of Cedar:
O that my ways were directed To keep thy statutes!
Oh, that my ways were directed and established to observe Your statutes [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying them]!
Oh that my ways were established To observe thy statutes!
How I wish my ways were strong when it comes to keeping your statutes!
Woe to me, for my sojourning has been prolonged. I have lived with the inhabitants of Kedar.
