6 So shall I not | be confounded,
* while I have respect unto | all thy commandments.
7 I will thank thee with an un- | -feigned heart,

8 I will | keep thy statutes;
* O for- | -sake me not utterly.
9 Wherewithal shall a young man | cleanse his way?
* even by ruling him- | -self •after• thy word.
10 With my whole heart | have I sought thee;
* O let me not go wrong | out of thy commandments.
11 Thy word have I hid with- | -in my heart,
* that I | should not sin against thee.
12 Blessed art | thou, O LORD;
* O | teach me thy statutes.
13 With my lips have | I been telling
* of all the | judgments of thy mouth.
14 I have had as great delight in the way | of thy testimonies,
* as in all | manner of riches.
15 I will talk of | thy commandments,
* and have re- | -spect •unto• thy ways.
16 My delight shall be | in thy statutes,
* and I will | not forget thy word.
17 O do well | unto• thy servant;
* that I may | live, and keep thy word.
18 Open | thou mine eyes;
* that I may see the wondrous | things of thy law.
19 I am a stranger up- | -on earth;
* O hide not | thy commandments from me.
20 My soul breaketh out for the very | fervent• desire
* that it hath | alway •unto• thy judgments.
21 Thou hast re- | -buked the proud;
* and cursed are they that do | err from thy commandments.
22 O turn from me shame | and rebuke;
* for | I have kept thy testimonies.
23 Princes also did sit and | speak against me;
* but thy servant is | occu•pied in thy statutes.
24 For thy testimonies are | my delight,
* and | my counsellors.
25 My soul cleaveth | to the dust;
* O quicken thou me, ac- | -cording to thy word.
26 I have acknowledged my ways, and thou | heardest me:
* O | teach me thy statutes.
27 Make me to understand the way of | thy commandments;
* and so shall I talk | of thy wondrous works.
28 My soul melteth away for | very heaviness;
* comfort thou me ac- | -cording •unto• thy word.
29 Take from me the | way of lying,
* and cause thou me to make | much of thy law.
30 I have chosen the | way of truth,
* and thy judgments | have I laid before me.
31 I have stuck | unto• thy testimonies;
* O | LORD, confound me not.
32 I will run the way of | thy commandments,
* when thou hast | set my heart at liberty.
33 Teach me, O LORD, the way | of thy statutes,
* and I shall | keep it •unto• the end.
34 Give me understanding, and I shall | keep thy law;
* yea, I shall keep it | with my whole heart.
35 Make me to go in the path of | thy commandments;

36 Incline my heart | unto• thy testimonies,

37 O turn away mine eyes, lest they be- | -hold vanity;
* and quicken thou | me in thy way.
38 O stablish thy word | in thy servant,
* that | I may fear thee.
39 Take away the rebuke that | I am• afraid of;
* for thy | judgments are good.
40 Behold, my delight is in | thy commandments;
* O | quicken• me in thy righteousness.
41 Let thy loving mercy come also unto | me, O LORD,
* even thy salvation, ac- | -cording •unto• thy word.
42 So shall I make answer unto | my blasphemers;
* for my | trust is in thy word.
43 O take not the word of thy truth utterly | out of• my mouth;
* for my | hope is in thy judgments.
44 So shall I alway | keep thy law;
* yea, for | ever and ever.
45 And I will | walk at liberty;
* for I | seek thy commandments.
46 I will speak of thy testimonies also, even be- | -fore kings,
* and | will not be ashamed.
47 And my delight shall be in | thy commandments,
* which | I have loved.
48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which | I have loved;
* and my study shall | be in thy statutes.
49 O think upon thy servant, as con- | -cerning• thy word,
* wherein thou hast caused | me to put my trust.
50 The same is my comfort | in my trouble;
* for thy | word hath quickened me.
51 The proud have had me exceedingly | in derision;
* yet have I not | shrinked from thy law.
52 For I remembered thine everlasting | judgments,• O LORD,
* and | — received comfort.
53 I am horrib- | -ly afraid,
* for the ungodly | that forsake thy law.
54 Thy statutes have | been my songs,
* in the | house of my pilgrimage.
55 I have thought upon thy Name, O LORD, in the | night season,
* and have | kept thy law.
56 This | I had,
* because I | kept thy commandments.
57 Thou art my | portion,• O LORD;
* I have promised to | keep thy law.
58 I made my humble petition in thy presence with my | whole heart;
* O be merciful unto me, ac- | -cording to thy word.
59 I called mine own ways | to remembrance,
* and turned my | feet •unto• thy testimonies.
60 I made haste, and prolonged | not the time,
* to | keep thy commandments.
61 The snares of the ungodly have compassed | me about;
* but I have | not for•gotten• thy law.
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks | unto thee,
* because | of thy righteous judgments.
63 I am a companion of all | them that fear thee,
* and | keep thy commandments.
64 The earth, O LORD, is full | of thy mercy:
* O | teach me thy statutes.
65 O LORD, thou hast dealt graciously | with thy servant,
* ac- | -cording •unto• thy word.
66 O teach me true under- | -standing and knowledge;
* for I have be- | -lieved thy commandments.
67 Before I was troubled, I | went wrong;
* but now | have I kept thy word.
68 Thou art | good and gracious;
* O | teach me thy statutes.
69 The proud have imagined a | lie against me;
* but I will keep thy commandments | with my whole heart.
70 Their heart is as | fat as brawn;
* but my delight hath | been in thy law.
71 It is good for me that I have | been in trouble;
* that | I may learn thy statutes.
72 The law of thy mouth is dearer | unto me
* than | thousands• of gold and silver.
73 Thy hands have made me and | fashioned me:
* O give me understanding, that I may | learn thy commandments.
74 They that fear thee will be glad | when they see me;
* because I have put my | trust in thy word.
75 I know, O LORD, that thy | judgments• are right,
* and that thou of very faithfulness hast | caused me to be troubled.
76 O let thy merciful kindness | be my comfort,
* according to thy | word •unto• thy servant.
77 O let thy loving mercies come unto me, that | I may live;
* for thy | law is my delight.
78 Let the proud be confounded, for they go wickedly about | to destroy me;
* but I will be occu- | -pied in thy commandments.
79 Let such as fear thee, and have | known thy testimonies,
* be | turned unto me.
80 O let my heart be sound | in thy statutes,
* that I | be not ashamed.
81 My soul hath longed for | thy salvation,
* and I have a good hope be- | -cause of thy word.
82 Mine eyes long sore | for thy word;
* saying, O when | wilt thou comfort me?
83 For I am become like a bottle | in the smoke;
* yet do I | not forget thy statutes.
84 How many are the days | of thy servant?
* when wilt thou be avenged of | them that •perse•cute me?
85 The proud have digged | pits for me,
* which | are not •after• thy law.
86 All thy com- | -mandments• are true:
* they persecute me falsely; | O be thou my help.
87 They had almost made an end of me up- | -on earth;
* but I for- | -sook not thy commandments.
88 O quicken me after thy | loving-kindness;
* and so shall I keep the testi- | -monies of thy mouth.
89 O LORD, | thy word
* en- | -dureth• for •ever• in heaven.
90 Thy truth also remaineth from one generation | to another;
* thou hast laid the foundation of the | earth, and it abideth.
91 They continue this day according | to thine ordinance;
* for | all things serve thee.
92 If my delight had not been | in thy law,
* I should have | perished in my trouble.
93 I will never forget | thy commandments;
* for with them | thou hast quickened me.
94 I am | thine: O save me,
* for I have | sought thy commandments.
95 The ungodly laid wait for me, | to destroy me;
* but I will con- | -sider thy testimonies.
96 I see that all things | come •to an• end;
* but thy commandment | is exceeding broad.
97 LORD, what love have I | unto• thy law!
* all the day long | is my study in it.
98 Thou, through thy commandments, hast made me wiser | than mine enemies;
* for | they are ever with me.
99 I have more understanding | than my teachers;
* for thy testimonies | are my study.
100 I am wiser | than the aged;
* because I | keep thy commandments.
101 I have refrained my feet from every | evil way,
* that | I may keep thy word.
102 I have not shrunk | from thy judgments;
* for | thou teachest me.
103 O how sweet are thy words | unto• my throat;
* yea, sweeter than | honey •unto• my mouth!
104 Through thy commandments I get | understanding:
* therefore I | hate all evil ways.
105 Thy word is a lantern | unto• my feet,
* and a | light •unto• my paths.
106 I have sworn, and am | stedfast•ly purposed,
* to | keep thy righteous judgments.
107 I am troubled a- | -bove measure:
* quicken me, O LORD, ac- | -cording to thy word.
108 Let the free-will offerings of my mouth please | thee, O LORD;
* and | teach me thy judgments.
109 My soul is alway | in my hand;
* yet do I | not forget thy law.
110 The ungodly have laid a | snare for me;
* but yet I swerved | not from thy commandments.
111 Thy testimonies have I claimed as mine herit- | -age for ever;
* and why? they are the very | joy of my heart.
112 I have applied my heart to fulfil thy | statutes alway,
* even | unto the end.
113 I hate them that imagine | evil things;
* but thy | law do I love.
114 Thou art my de- | -fence and shield;
* and my | trust is in thy word.
115 Away from | me, ye wicked;
* I will keep the com- | -mandments of my God.
116 O stablish me according to thy word, that | I may live;
* and let me not be disap- | -pointed of my hope.
117 Hold thou me up, and I | shall be safe;
* yea, my delight shall be | ever in thy statutes.
118 Thou hast trodden down all them that depart | from thy statutes;
* for they im- | -agine but deceit.
119 Thou puttest away all the ungodly of the | earth like dross;
* therefore I | love thy testimonies.
120 My flesh trembleth for | fear of thee;
* and I am a- | -fraid of thy judgments.
121 I deal with the thing that is | lawful and right;
* O give me not over | unto mine oppressors.
122 Make thou thy servant to delight in | that which• is good,
* that the proud | do me no wrong.
123 Mine eyes are wasted away with looking | for thy health,
* and for the | word of thy righteousness.
124 O deal with thy servant according unto thy | loving mercy,
* and | teach me thy statutes.
125 I am thy servant; O grant me | understanding,
* that | I may know thy testimonies.
126 It is time for thee, LORD, to lay | to thine hand;
* for they | have destroyed thy law.
127 For I love | thy commandments
* above | gold and precious stones.
128 Therefore hold I straight all | thy commandments;
* and all false ways I | utterly abhor.
129 Thy testimonies | are wonderful;
* therefore | doth my soul keep them.
130 When thy word | goeth forth,
* it giveth light and under- | -standing •unto• the simple.
131 I opened my mouth, and drew | in my breath;
* for my delight | was in thy commandments.
132 O look thou upon me, and be merciful | unto me,
* as thou usest to do unto | those that love thy Name.
133 Order my steps | in thy word;
* and so shall no wickedness have do- | -minion over me.
134 O deliver me from the wrongful | dealings• of men;
* and so shall I | keep thy commandments.
135 Show the light of thy countenance up- | -on thy servant,
* and | teach me thy statutes.
136 Mine eyes gush | out with water,
* because men | keep not thy law.
137 Righteous art | thou, O LORD;
* and | true are thy judgments.
138 The testimonies that thou | hast commanded
* are ex- | -ceeding •righteous• and true.
139 My zeal hath even con- | -sumed me;
* because mine enemies | have for•gotten• thy words.
140 Thy word is tried | to the uttermost,
* and thy | servant loveth it.
141 I am small and of no | reputation;
* yet do I not for- | -get thy commandments.
142 Thy righteousness is an ever- | -lasting righteousness,
* and thy | law is the truth.
143 Trouble and heaviness have taken | hold upon me;
* yet is my de- | -light in thy commandments.
144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is | everlasting:
* O grant me under- | -standing•, and I shall live.
145 I call with my | whole heart;
* hear me, O LORD; | I will keep thy statutes.
146 Yea, even unto thee | do I call;
* help me, and | I shall keep thy testimonies.
147 Early in the morning do I cry | unto thee;
* for in thy | word is my trust.
148 Mine eyes prevent the | night watches;
* that I might be | occu•pied in thy word.
149 Hear my voice, O LORD, according unto thy | lovingkindness;
* quicken me, ac- | -cording to thy judgments.
150 They draw nigh that of malice | perse•cute me,
* and are | far from thy law.
151 Be thou nigh at | hand, O LORD;
* for all | thy com•mandments• are true.
152 As concerning thy testimonies, I have | known long since,
* that thou hast | grounded them for ever.
153 O consider mine adversity, and de- | -liver me,
* for I do | not forget thy law.
154 Avenge thou my cause, and de- | -liver me;
* quicken me ac- | -cording to thy word.
155 Health is far from | the ungodly;
* for they re- | -gard not thy statutes.
156 Great is thy | mercy•, O LORD;
* quicken | me, as thou art wont.
157 Many there are that trouble me, and | perse•cute me;
* yet do I not | swerve from thy testimonies.
158 It grieveth me when I | see the• transgressors;
* because they | keep not thy law.
159 Consider, O LORD, how I love | thy commandments;
* O quicken me, according | to thy loving-kindness.
160 Thy word is true from | everlasting;
* all the judgments of thy righteousness en- | -dure for evermore.
161 Princes have persecuted me with- | -out a cause;
* but my heart standeth in | awe of thy word.
162 I am as glad | of thy word,
* as one that | findeth great spoils.
163 As for lies, I hate | and abhor them;
* but thy | law do I love.
164 Seven times a day do I | praise thee;
* because | of thy righteous judgments.
165 Great is the peace that they have who | love thy law;
* and they have none oc- | -casion of stumbling.
166 LORD, I have looked for thy | saving health,
* and done | after thy commandments.
167 My soul hath | kept thy testimonies,
* and | loved them exceedingly.
168 I have kept thy com- | -mandments• and testimonies;
* for all my | ways are before thee.
169 Let my complaint come before | thee, O LORD;
* give me understanding ac- | -cording to thy word.
170 Let my supplication | come before thee;
* deliver me ac- | -cording to thy word.
171 My lips shall speak | of thy praise,
* when thou hast | taught me thy statutes.
172 Yea, my tongue shall sing | of thy word;
* for all | thy com•mandments• are righteous.
173 Let thine | hand help me;
* for I have | chosen thy commandments.
174 I have longed for thy saving | health, O LORD;
* and in thy | law is my delight.
175 O let my soul live, and | it shall praise thee;
* and thy | judgments shall help me.
176 I have gone astray like a sheep | that is lost;
* O seek thy servant, for I do not for- | -get thy commandments.
Glory be to the Father, and | to the Son,
* and | to the Holy Ghost,
As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever shall be,
* world without | end. Amen.
