41VAU. Let thy mercies come also to me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.
42So shall I have with which to answer 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 keep thy law continually for ever and ever.
45And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
46I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.
47And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.
48My hands also will I lift to thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.
49ZAIN. Remember the word to thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
50This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath revived me.
51The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet I have not declined from thy law.
52I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.
53Horror 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 kept thy law.
56This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
57CHETH. Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.
58I entreated thy favor with my whole heart: be merciful to me according to thy word.
59I thought on my ways, and turned my feet to thy testimonies.
60I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.
61The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.
62At midnight I will rise to give thanks to thee, because of thy righteous judgments.
63I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
64The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
65TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according to thy word.
66Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
67Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.
68Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
69The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
70Their heart is as gross as fat; but I delight in thy law.
71It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
72The law of thy mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver.
73JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
74They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.
75I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
76Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word to thy servant.
77Let thy tender mercies come to me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
78Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
79Let those that fear thee turn to me, and those that have known thy testimonies.
80Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I may not be ashamed.
81CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
82My eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
83For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet I do not forget thy statutes.
84How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85The proud have digged pits for me, which are not according to thy law.
86All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
87They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
88Revive me after thy loving-kindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
