Let my cry come before you, O Lord; give me understanding according to your word. (Psalm 119:169)

In Hebrew the second clause is Yahovah biyn dabar. This is probably too simple, but my preferred translation would be "God give me understanding of your word."

Dabar can also mean command, warning, threat, speech, song, act or occupation. To understand God's word is to understand a great deal.

According to the gospel of John, God created the universe with a word. Help me to hear and understand.
