Psalms 119:57-104

⁵⁷Cheth. Lord, my part; I said to keep thy law.

⁵⁸I besought thy face in all mine heart; have thou mercy on me by thy speech.

⁵⁹I bethought on my ways; and I turned my feet into thy witnessings.

⁶⁰I am ready, and I am not troubled; to keep thy commandments.

⁶¹The cords of sinners have em-braced me; and I have not forgotten thy law.

⁶²At midnight, I rose to acknowl-edge to thee; on the dooms of thy justifyings.

⁶³I am partner of all that dread thee; and keep thy behests.

⁶⁴Lord, the earth is full of thy mercy; teach thou me thy justifyings.

⁶⁵Teth. Lord, thou hast done good-ness with thy servant; by thy word.

⁶⁶Teach thou me goodness, and lore, either chastising, and knowing; for I believed to thy behests.

⁶⁷Before that I was made meek, I trespassed; therefore I kept thy speech.

⁶⁸Thou art good; and in thy good-ness teach thou me thy justifyings.

⁶⁹The wickedness of them that be proud, is multiplied on me; but in all mine heart I shall seek thy behests.

⁷⁰The heart of them is crudded, either made hard, as milk; but I be-thought on thy law.

⁷¹It is good to me, that thou hast made me meek; that I learn thy justi-fyings.

⁷²The law out of thy mouth is better to me; than thousands of gold and silver.

⁷³Jod. Thine hands made me, and formed me; give thou understanding to me, that I learn thy behests.

⁷⁴They that dread thee shall see me, and they shall be glad; for I hoped more on thy words.

⁷⁵Lord, I knew, that thy dooms be equity; and in thy truth thou hast made me meek.

⁷⁶Thy mercy be made, that it comfort me; by thy speech to thy servant.

⁷⁷Thy merciful doings come to me, and I shall live; for thy law is my thinking.

⁷⁸They that be proud be shamed, for unjustly they did wickedness against me; but I shall be exercised in thy behests.

⁷⁹They that dread thee be turned to me; and they that know thy witnessings.

⁸⁰Mine heart be made unwemmed in thy justifyings; that I be not shamed.

⁸¹Caph. My soul failed into thine health; and I hoped more in thy word.

⁸²Mine eyes failed into thy speech; saying, When shalt thou comfort me?

⁸³For I am made as a bouget or bottle in frost; I have not forgotten thy justifyings.

⁸⁴How many be the days of thy servant; when thou shalt make doom of them that pursue me?

⁸⁵Wicked men told to me janglings; but not as thy law.

⁸⁶All thy commandments be truth; wicked men have pursued me, help thou me.

⁸⁷Almost they ended me in the earth; but I forsook not thy command-ments.

⁸⁸By thy mercy quicken thou me; and I shall keep the witnessings of thy mouth.

⁸⁹Lamed. Lord, thy word dwelleth in heaven; without end.

⁹⁰Thy truth dwelleth in generation, and into generation; thou hast founded the earth, and it dwelleth.

⁹¹The day lasteth continually by thy ordinances; for all things serve to thee.

⁹²But for thy law was my thinking; then peradventure I had perished in my lowness.

⁹³Without end I shall not forget thy justifyings; for in those or them thou hast quickened me.

⁹⁴I am thine, make thou me safe; for I have sought thy justifyings.

⁹⁵Sinners abode me, for to lose me; I understood thy witnessings.

⁹⁶I saw the end of all end; thy commandment is full large.

⁹⁷Mem. Lord, how loved I or I loved thy law; all day it is my thinking.

⁹⁸Above mine enemies thou madest me prudent by thy commandment; for it is to me without end.

⁹⁹I understood over all men teaching me; for thy witnessings is my thinking.

¹⁰⁰I understood above eld or old men; for I sought thy commandments.

¹⁰¹I forbade my feet from all evil way; that I keep thy words.

¹⁰²I bowed not from thy dooms; for thou hast set law to me.

¹⁰³Thy speeches be full sweet to my cheeks; above honey to my mouth.

¹⁰⁴I understood of thy behests; there-fore I hated all the ways of wickedness.
