Psalms 119:39-78

³⁹Take away my rebuke that I feare: for thy iudgements are good.

⁴⁰Beholde, I desire thy commandements: quicken me in thy righteousnesse,

⁴¹VAV. And let thy louing kindnesse come vnto me, O Lord, and thy saluation according to thy promise.

⁴²So shall I make answere vnto my blasphemers: for I trust in thy woorde.

⁴³And take not the woorde of trueth vtterly out of my mouth: for I waite for thy iudgements.

⁴⁴So shall I alway keepe thy Lawe for euer and euer.

⁴⁵And I will walke at libertie: for I seeke thy precepts.

⁴⁶I will speake also of thy testimonies before Kings, and will not be ashamed.

⁴⁷And my delite shalbe in thy commandements, which I haue loued.

⁴⁸Mine handes also will I lift vp vnto thy commandements, which I haue loued, and I will meditate in thy statutes.

⁴⁹ZAIN. Remember the promise made to thy seruant, wherein thou hast caused me to trust.

⁵⁰It is my comfort in my trouble: for thy promise hath quickened me.

⁵¹The proude haue had me exceedingly in derision: yet haue I not declined from thy Lawe.

⁵²I remembred thy iudgements of olde, O Lord, and haue bene comforted.

⁵³Feare is come vpon mee for the wicked, that forsake thy Lawe.

⁵⁴Thy statutes haue beene my songes in the house of my pilgrimage.

⁵⁵I haue remembred thy Name, O Lord, in the night, and haue kept thy Lawe.

⁵⁶This I had because I kept thy precepts.

⁵⁷CHETH. O Lord, that art my portion, I haue determined to keepe thy wordes.

⁵⁸I made my supplication in thy presence with my whole heart: be mercifull vnto me according to thy promise.

⁵⁹I haue considered my waies, and turned my feete into thy testimonies.

⁶⁰I made haste and delaied not to keepe thy commandements.

⁶¹The bandes of the wicked haue robbed me: but I haue not forgotten thy Lawe.

⁶²At midnight will I rise to giue thanks vnto thee, because of thy righteous iudgements.

⁶³I am companion of all them that feare thee, and keepe thy precepts.

⁶⁴The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercie: teache me thy statutes.

⁶⁵TETH. O Lord, thou hast delt graciously with thy seruant according vnto thy woorde.

⁶⁶Teach me good iudgement and knowledge: for I haue beleeued thy commandements.

⁶⁷Before I was afflicted, I went astray: but nowe I keepe thy woorde.

⁶⁸Thou art good and gracious: teach me thy statutes.

⁶⁹The proud haue imagined a lie against me: but I wil keepe thy precepts with my whole heart.

⁷⁰Their heart is fatte as grease: but my delite is in thy Lawe.

⁷¹It is good for me that I haue beene afflicted, that I may learne thy statutes.

⁷²The Lawe of thy mouth is better vnto me, then thousands of golde and siluer.

⁷³IOD. Thine hands haue made me and fashioned me: giue mee vnderstanding therefore, that I may learne thy commandements.

⁷⁴So they that feare thee, seeing mee shall reioyce, because I haue trusted in thy worde.

⁷⁵I knowe, O Lord, that thy iudgements are right, and that thou hast afflicted me iustly.

⁷⁶I pray thee that thy mercie may comfort me according to thy promise vnto thy seruant.

⁷⁷Let thy tender mercies come vnto me, that I may liue: for thy Lawe is my delite.

⁷⁸Let the proude be ashamed: for they haue dealt wickedly and falsely with me: but I meditate in thy precepts.
