111Thy testimonies haue I taken as an heritage for euer: for they are the ioy of mine heart.
112I haue applied mine heart to fulfill thy statutes alway, euen vnto the ende.
113SAMECH. I hate vaine inuentions: but thy Lawe doe I loue.
114Thou art my refuge and shield, and I trust in thy worde.
115Away from mee, yee wicked: for I will keepe the commandements of my God.
116Stablish me according to thy promise, that I may liue, and disappoint me not of mine hope.
117Stay thou mee, and I shall be safe, and I will delite continually in thy statutes.
118Thou hast troden downe all them that depart from thy statutes: for their deceit is vaine.
119Thou hast taken away all ye wicked of the earth like drosse: therefore I loue thy testimonies.
120My flesh trembleth for feare of thee, and I am afraide of thy iudgements.
121AIN. I haue executed iudgement and iustice: leaue me not to mine oppressours.
122Answere for thy seruant in that, which is good, and let not the proude oppresse me.
123Mine eyes haue failed in waiting for thy saluation, and for thy iust promise.
124Deale with thy seruant according to thy mercie, and teache me thy statutes.
125I am thy seruant: graunt mee therefore vnderstanding, that I may knowe thy testimonies.
126It is time for thee Lord to worke: for they haue destroyed thy Lawe.
127Therefore loue I thy commandements aboue golde, yea, aboue most fine golde.
128Therefore I esteeme all thy precepts most iust, and hate all false wayes.
129PE. Thy testimonies are wonderfull: therefore doeth my soule keepe them.
130The entrance into thy wordes sheweth light, and giueth vnderstanding to the simple.
131I opened my mouth and panted, because I loued thy commandements.
132Looke vpon mee and bee mercifull vnto me, as thou vsest to doe vnto those that loue thy Name.
133Direct my steppes in thy worde, and let none iniquitie haue dominion ouer me.
134Deliuer mee from the oppression of men, and I will keepe thy precepts.
135Shew the light of thy countenance vpon thy seruant, and teache me thy statutes.
136Mine eyes gush out with riuers of water, because they keepe not thy Lawe.
137TSADDI. Righteous art thou, O Lord, and iust are thy iudgements.
138Thou hast commanded iustice by thy testimonies and trueth especially.
139My zeale hath euen consumed mee, because mine enemies haue forgotten thy wordes.
140Thy word is prooued most pure, and thy seruant loueth it.
141I am small and despised: yet do I not forget thy precepts.
142Thy righteousnesse is an euerlasting righteousnes, and thy Lawe is trueth.
143Trouble and anguish are come vpon me: yet are thy commandements my delite.
144The righteousnes of thy testimonies is euerlasting: graunt me vnderstanding, and I shall liue.
145KOPH. I haue cried with my whole heart: heare me, O Lord, and I will keepe thy statutes.
146I called vpon thee: saue mee, and I will keepe thy testimonies.
147I preuented the morning light, and cried: for I waited on thy word.
148Mine eyes preuent the night watches to meditate in thy word.
149Heare my voyce according to thy louing kindenesse: O Lord, quicken me according to thy iudgement.
150They drawe neere, that follow after malice, and are farre from thy Lawe.
151Thou art neere, O Lord: for all thy commandements are true.
152I haue knowen long since by thy testimonies, that thou hast established them for euer.
153RESH. Beholde mine affliction, and deliuer mee: for I haue not forgotten thy Lawe.
154Pleade my cause, and deliuer me: quicken me according vnto thy word.
