Psalms 119:36-89

³⁶Bow down mine heart into thy witnessings; and not into avarice.

³⁷Turn thou away mine eyes, that they see not vanity; quicken thou me in thy way.

³⁸Ordain thy speech to thy servant; in thy dread.

³⁹Cut away my shame, which I supposed; for thy dooms be merry.

⁴⁰Lo! I coveted thy commandments; quicken thou me in thine equity.

⁴¹Vau. And, Lord, thy mercy come up on me; thine health come by thy speech.

⁴²And I shall answer a word to men saying shame to me; for I hoped in thy words.

⁴³And take thou not away from my mouth the word of truth utterly; for I hoped above in thy dooms.

⁴⁴And I shall keep thy law ever-more; into the world, and into the world of world.

⁴⁵And I went in largeness; for I sought thy commandments.

⁴⁶And I spake of thy witnessings in the sight of kings; and I was not shamed.

⁴⁷And I bethought in thy behests; which I loved.

⁴⁸And I raised mine hands to thy commandments, which I loved; and I shall be exercised in thy justifyings.

⁴⁹Zain. Lord, have thou mind on thy word to thy servant; in which word thou hast given hope to me.

⁵⁰This comforted me in my lowness; for thy word quickened me.

⁵¹Proud men did wickedly to me by all things; but I bowed not away from thy law.

⁵²Lord, I was mindful of thy dooms from the world; and I was comforted.

⁵³Failing held me; for sinners for-saking thy law.

⁵⁴Thy justifyings were delightable to me to be sung; in the place of my pilgrimage.

⁵⁵Lord, I had mind of thy name by night; and I kept thy law.

⁵⁶This thing was made to me; for I sought thy justifyings.

⁵⁷Cheth. Lord, my part; I said to keep thy law.

⁵⁸I besought thy face in all mine heart; have thou mercy on me by thy speech.

⁵⁹I bethought on my ways; and I turned my feet into thy witnessings.

⁶⁰I am ready, and I am not troubled; to keep thy commandments.

⁶¹The cords of sinners have em-braced me; and I have not forgotten thy law.

⁶²At midnight, I rose to acknowl-edge to thee; on the dooms of thy justifyings.

⁶³I am partner of all that dread thee; and keep thy behests.

⁶⁴Lord, the earth is full of thy mercy; teach thou me thy justifyings.

⁶⁵Teth. Lord, thou hast done good-ness with thy servant; by thy word.

⁶⁶Teach thou me goodness, and lore, either chastising, and knowing; for I believed to thy behests.

⁶⁷Before that I was made meek, I trespassed; therefore I kept thy speech.

⁶⁸Thou art good; and in thy good-ness teach thou me thy justifyings.

⁶⁹The wickedness of them that be proud, is multiplied on me; but in all mine heart I shall seek thy behests.

⁷⁰The heart of them is crudded, either made hard, as milk; but I be-thought on thy law.

⁷¹It is good to me, that thou hast made me meek; that I learn thy justi-fyings.

⁷²The law out of thy mouth is better to me; than thousands of gold and silver.

⁷³Jod. Thine hands made me, and formed me; give thou understanding to me, that I learn thy behests.

⁷⁴They that dread thee shall see me, and they shall be glad; for I hoped more on thy words.

⁷⁵Lord, I knew, that thy dooms be equity; and in thy truth thou hast made me meek.

⁷⁶Thy mercy be made, that it comfort me; by thy speech to thy servant.

⁷⁷Thy merciful doings come to me, and I shall live; for thy law is my thinking.

⁷⁸They that be proud be shamed, for unjustly they did wickedness against me; but I shall be exercised in thy behests.

⁷⁹They that dread thee be turned to me; and they that know thy witnessings.

⁸⁰Mine heart be made unwemmed in thy justifyings; that I be not shamed.

⁸¹Caph. My soul failed into thine health; and I hoped more in thy word.

⁸²Mine eyes failed into thy speech; saying, When shalt thou comfort me?

⁸³For I am made as a bouget or bottle in frost; I have not forgotten thy justifyings.

⁸⁴How many be the days of thy servant; when thou shalt make doom of them that pursue me?

⁸⁵Wicked men told to me janglings; but not as thy law.

⁸⁶All thy commandments be truth; wicked men have pursued me, help thou me.

⁸⁷Almost they ended me in the earth; but I forsook not thy command-ments.

⁸⁸By thy mercy quicken thou me; and I shall keep the witnessings of thy mouth.

⁸⁹Lamed. Lord, thy word dwelleth in heaven; without end.
