diligently. |

unto all thy commandments. |

shall have learned thy righteous judgments. |

sin against thee. |

| With my lips have I declared all the judgments of
thy mouth. |

much as in all riches. |

unto thy ways. |
| I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not
forget thy word. |
| GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may
live, and keep thy word. |
| Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous
things out of thy law. |
| I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy
commandments from me. |
| My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto
thy judgments at all times. |
| Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which
do err from thy commandments. |
| Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have
kept thy testimonies. |
| Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy
servant did meditate in thy statutes. |
| Thy testimonies also are my delight and my
counsellors. |
| DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou
me according to thy word. |

me thy statutes. |

shall I talk of thy wondrous works. |
| My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me
according unto thy word. |

law graciously. |

laid before me. |

not to shame. |

shalt enlarge my heart. |
| HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I
shall keep it unto the end. |

yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. |
| Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for
therein do I delight. |
| Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to
covetousness. |
| Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and
quicken thou me in thy way. |

to thy fear. |

judgments are good. |
| Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me
in thy righteousness. |
| VAU. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even
thy salvation, according to thy word. |

reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. |

mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. |

ever. |
| And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. |
| I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings,
and will not be ashamed. |
| And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which
I have loved. |
| My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments,
which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. |
| ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which
thou hast caused me to hope. |

hath quickened me. |

I not declined from thy law. |
| I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have
comforted myself. |
| Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked
that forsake thy law. |
| Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my
pilgrimage. |
| I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night,
and have kept thy law. |
| This I had, because I kept thy precepts. |
| CHETH. Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that
I would keep thy words. |
| I entreated thy favour with my whole heart: be
merciful unto me according to thy word. |
| I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy
testimonies. |
| I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy
commandments. |
| The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have
not forgotten thy law. |
| At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee
because of thy righteous judgments. |
| I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of
them that keep thy precepts. |
| The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me
thy statutes. |
| TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD,
according unto thy word. |
| Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have
believed thy commandments. |
| Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I
kept thy word. |
| Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy
statutes. |
| The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will
keep thy precepts with my whole heart. |
| Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in
thy law. |
| It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I
might learn thy statutes. |
| The law of thy mouth is better unto me than
thousands of gold and silver. |
| JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give
me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. |

because I have hoped in thy word. |

that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. |

comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. |

live: for thy law is my delight. |

with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts. |
| Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those
that have known thy testimonies. |
| Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not
ashamed. |
| CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope
in thy word. |
| Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou
comfort me? |
| For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I
not forget thy statutes. |
| How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou
execute judgment on them that persecute me? |
| The proud have digged pits for me, which are not
after thy law. |
| All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me
wrongfully; help thou me. |
| They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I
forsook not thy precepts. |
| Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep
the testimony of thy mouth. |

heaven. |

have perished in mine affliction. |

hast quickened me. |

commandment is exceeding broad. |

the day. |

I hate every false way. |

unto my path. |

keep thy righteous judgments. |

according unto thy word. |

mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments. |

forget thy law. |

ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. |

alway, even unto the end. |

have respect unto thy statutes continually. |

statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. |

dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. |

of thy judgments. |
| AIN. I have done judgment and justice: leave me not
to mine oppressors. |
| Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the
proud oppress me. |
| Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word
of thy righteousness. |
| Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and
teach me thy statutes. |
| I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may
know thy testimonies. |
| It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have
made void thy law. |
| Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea,
above fine gold. |
| Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all
things to be right; and I hate every false way. |
| PE. Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my
soul keep them. |
| The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth
understanding unto the simple. |

commandments. |

usest to do unto those that love thy name. |

have dominion over me. |

it. |

testimonies. |

hoped in thy word. |

meditate in thy word. |

LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment. |

truth. |
