39Turn away my reproach whereof I am afraid; For thine ordinances are good.
40Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: Quicken me in thy righteousness.
41Let thy lovingkindnesses also come unto me, O Jehovah, 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 thine ordinances.
44So shall I observe thy law continually For ever and ever.
45And I shall walk at liberty; For I have sought thy precepts.
46I will also speak of thy testimonies before kings, And shall not be put to shame.
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 on 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 thine ordinances of old, O Jehovah, 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 Jehovah, in the night, And have observed thy law.
56This I have had, Because I have kept thy precepts.
57Jehovah is my portion: I have said that I would observe thy words.
58I entreated thy favor 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.
61The cords of the wicked have wrapped me round; But I have not forgotten thy law.
62At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee Because of thy righteous ordinances.
63I am a companion of all them that fear thee, And of them that observe thy precepts.
64The earth, O Jehovah, is full of thy lovingkindness: Teach me thy statutes.
65Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Jehovah, according unto thy word.
66Teach me good judgment and knowledge; For I have believed in thy commandments.
67Before I was afflicted I went astray; But now I observe thy word.
68Thou art good, and doest good; Teach me thy statutes.
