Psalms 119:38-51

³⁸Ordain thy speech to thy servant; (who is) in thy dread. (Ordain thy word to thy servant; who feareth thee or who hath reverence for thee.)

³⁹Cut away my shame, which I supposed; for thy dooms be merry. (Turn away the shame, or the rebuke, which I fear; for thy judgements be good.)

⁴⁰Lo! I coveted thy commandments; quicken thou me in thine equity. (Behold! I desired (to obey) thy precepts; grant thou me life in thy righteousness.)

⁴¹Vau. And, Lord, thy mercy come up on me; thine health come by thy speech. (And, Lord, let thy love come to me; let thy salvation, or thy deliverance, come according to thy word.)

⁴²And I shall answer a word to men saying shame to me; for I hoped in thy words. (And then I shall answer a word to those shaming me; for I put my trust in thy words.)

⁴³And take thou not away from my mouth the word of truth utterly; for I hoped above in thy dooms. (And never take away the word of truth from my mouth; for I put my hope in thy judgements, or in thy decrees.)

⁴⁴And I shall keep thy law evermore; into the world, and into the world of world. (And I shall obey thy Law forevermore; yea, forever and ever.)

⁴⁵And I went in largeness; for I sought thy commandments. (And I shall walk in freedom; for I have sought out thy commandments.)

⁴⁶And I spake of thy witnessings in the sight of kings; and I was not shamed. (And I shall speak of thy teachings, or thy commands, before kings; and I shall not be ashamed.)

⁴⁷And I bethought in thy behests; which I loved. (And I delight myself in thy commandments; which I love.)

⁴⁸And I raised mine hands to thy commandments, which I loved; and I shall be exercised in thy justifyings. (And I shall raise up my hands to thy commandments, which I love; and I shall think about thy statutes.)

⁴⁹Zain. Lord, have thou mind on thy word to thy servant, (or Lord, remember 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. (This comforted me in my time of trouble; for thy word hath given me life.)

⁵¹Proud men did wickedly (to me) by all things; but I bowed not away from thy law. (The proud and the boastful have scorned me in all things; but I have not turned away from thy Law.)
