PSALMS 119:39-60

³⁹Turn away my reproach whereof I am afraid; for thy judgments are good.

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

⁴¹Let thy mercies also come unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.

⁴²So shall I have an answer for him that reproacheth me; for I trust in thy word.

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

⁴⁴So shall I observe thy law continually for ever and ever.

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

⁴⁶I will also speak of thy testimonies before kings, and will not be ashamed.

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

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

⁴⁹Remember the word unto thy servant, because thou hast made me to hope.

⁵⁰This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.

⁵¹The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not swerved from thy law.

⁵²I have remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD, and have comforted myself.

⁵³Hot indignation hath taken hold upon me, because of the wicked that forsake thy law.

⁵⁴Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

⁵⁵I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have observed thy law.

⁵⁶This I have had, because I kept thy precepts.

⁵⁷The LORD is my portion: I have said that I would observe thy words.

⁵⁸I entreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.

⁵⁹I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.

⁶⁰I made haste, and delayed not, to observe thy commandments.
