34Giue mee vnderstanding, and I will keepe thy Law: yea, I wil keepe it with my whole heart.
35Direct mee in the path of thy commandements: for therein is my delite.
36Incline mine heart vnto thy testimonies, and not to couetousnesse.
37Turne away mine eies from regarding vanitie, and quicken me in thy way.
38Stablish thy promise to thy seruaunt, because he feareth thee.
39Take away my rebuke that I feare: for thy iudgements are good.
40Beholde, I desire thy commandements: quicken me in thy righteousnesse,
41VAV. And let thy louing kindnesse come vnto me, O Lord, and thy saluation according to thy promise.
42So shall I make answere vnto my blasphemers: for I trust in thy woorde.
43And take not the woorde of trueth vtterly out of my mouth: for I waite for thy iudgements.
44So shall I alway keepe thy Lawe for euer and euer.
45And I will walke at libertie: for I seeke thy precepts.
46I will speake also of thy testimonies before Kings, and will not be ashamed.
47And my delite shalbe in thy commandements, which I haue loued.
48Mine handes also will I lift vp vnto thy commandements, which I haue loued, and I will meditate in thy statutes.
49ZAIN. Remember the promise made to thy seruant, wherein thou hast caused me to trust.
50It is my comfort in my trouble: for thy promise hath quickened me.
51The proude haue had me exceedingly in derision: yet haue I not declined from thy Lawe.
52I remembred thy iudgements of olde, O Lord, and haue bene comforted.
53Feare is come vpon mee for the wicked, that forsake thy Lawe.
54Thy statutes haue beene my songes in the house of my pilgrimage.
55I haue remembred thy Name, O Lord, in the night, and haue kept thy Lawe.
56This I had because I kept thy precepts.
57CHETH. O Lord, that art my portion, I haue determined to keepe thy wordes.
58I made my supplication in thy presence with my whole heart: be mercifull vnto me according to thy promise.
59I haue considered my waies, and turned my feete into thy testimonies.
60I made haste and delaied not to keepe thy commandements.
61The bandes of the wicked haue robbed me: but I haue not forgotten thy Lawe.
62At midnight will I rise to giue thanks vnto thee, because of thy righteous iudgements.
63I am companion of all them that feare thee, and keepe thy precepts.
64The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercie: teache me thy statutes.
65TETH. O Lord, thou hast delt graciously with thy seruant according vnto thy woorde.
66Teach me good iudgement and knowledge: for I haue beleeued thy commandements.
67Before I was afflicted, I went astray: but nowe I keepe thy woorde.
68Thou art good and gracious: teach me thy statutes.
69The proud haue imagined a lie against me: but I wil keepe thy precepts with my whole heart.
70Their heart is fatte as grease: but my delite is in thy Lawe.
71It is good for me that I haue beene afflicted, that I may learne thy statutes.
72The Lawe of thy mouth is better vnto me, then thousands of golde and siluer.
73IOD. Thine hands haue made me and fashioned me: giue mee vnderstanding therefore, that I may learne thy commandements.
74So they that feare thee, seeing mee shall reioyce, because I haue trusted in thy worde.
75I knowe, O Lord, that thy iudgements are right, and that thou hast afflicted me iustly.
76I pray thee that thy mercie may comfort me according to thy promise vnto thy seruant.
77Let thy tender mercies come vnto me, that I may liue: for thy Lawe is my delite.
78Let the proude be ashamed: for they haue dealt wickedly and falsely with me: but I meditate in thy precepts.
79Let such as feare thee turne vnto me, and they that knowe thy testimonies.
80Let mine heart bee vpright in thy statutes, that I be not ashamed.
81CAPH. My soule fainteth for thy saluation: yet I waite for thy worde.
82Mine eyes faile for thy promise, saying, when wilt thou comfort me?
83For I am like a bottell in the smoke: yet doe I not forget thy statutes.
84Howe many are the dayes of thy seruant? When wilt thou execute iudgement on them that persecute me?
85The proude haue digged pittes for mee, which is not after thy Lawe.
86All thy commandements are true: they persecute me falsely: helpe me.
87They had almost consumed me vpon the earth: but I forsooke not thy precepts.
88Quicken me according to thy louing kindnes: so shall I keepe the testimony of thy mouth.
89LAMED. O Lord, thy worde endureth for euer in heauen.
90Thy trueth is from generation to generation: thou hast layed the foundation of the earth, and it abideth.
91They continue euen to this day by thine ordinances: for all are thy seruants.
92Except thy Lawe had bene my delite, I should now haue perished in mine affliction.
93I wil neuer forget thy precepts: for by them thou hast quickened me.
94I am thine, saue me: for I haue sought thy precepts.
95The wicked haue waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.
96I haue seene an ende of all perfection: but thy commandement is exceeding large.
97MEM. Oh howe loue I thy Lawe! it is my meditation continually.
98By thy commandements thou hast made mee wiser then mine enemies: for they are euer with mee.
99I haue had more vnderstading then all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.
100I vnderstoode more then the ancient, because I kept thy precepts.
101I haue refrained my feete from euery euil way, that I might keepe thy word.
