Psalms 119:35-51

³⁵Make me to walk in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.

³⁶Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to gain.

³⁷Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; quicken me in thy way.

³⁸Establish thy *word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.

³⁹Turn away my reproach which I fear; for thy judgments are good.

⁴⁰Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.

⁴¹VAU. And let thy loving-kindness come unto me, O Jehovah, — thy salvation according to thy *word.

⁴²So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me; for I confide in thy word.

⁴³And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; because I have hoped in thy judgments.

⁴⁴Then will I keep thy law continually, for ever and ever;

⁴⁵And I will walk at liberty, for I have sought thy precepts;

⁴⁶And I will speak of thy testimonies before kings, and will not be ashamed;

⁴⁷And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved;

⁴⁸And I will lift up my hands unto thy commandments, which I have loved, and I will meditate in thy statutes.

⁴⁹ZAIN. Remember the word for thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.

⁵⁰This is my comfort in mine affliction; for thy *word hath quickened me.

⁵¹The proud have derided me beyond measure: I have not declined from thy law.
