Psalms 119:86-137

⁸⁶All thy commandements are true: they persecute me falsely: helpe me.

⁸⁷They had almost consumed me vpon the earth: but I forsooke not thy precepts.

⁸⁸Quicken me according to thy louing kindnes: so shall I keepe the testimony of thy mouth.

⁸⁹LAMED. O Lord, thy worde endureth for euer in heauen.

⁹⁰Thy trueth is from generation to generation: thou hast layed the foundation of the earth, and it abideth.

⁹¹They continue euen to this day by thine ordinances: for all are thy seruants.

⁹²Except thy Lawe had bene my delite, I should now haue perished in mine affliction.

⁹³I wil neuer forget thy precepts: for by them thou hast quickened me.

⁹⁴I am thine, saue me: for I haue sought thy precepts.

⁹⁵The wicked haue waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.

⁹⁶I haue seene an ende of all perfection: but thy commandement is exceeding large.

⁹⁷MEM. Oh howe loue I thy Lawe! it is my meditation continually.

⁹⁸By thy commandements thou hast made mee wiser then mine enemies: for they are euer with mee.

⁹⁹I haue had more vnderstading then all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.

¹⁰⁰I vnderstoode more then the ancient, because I kept thy precepts.

¹⁰¹I haue refrained my feete from euery euil way, that I might keepe thy word.

¹⁰²I haue not declined from thy iudgements: for thou didest teach me.

¹⁰³Howe sweete are thy promises vnto my mouth! yea, more then hony vnto my mouth.

¹⁰⁴By thy precepts I haue gotten vnderstanding: therefore I hate all the wayes of falshoode.

¹⁰⁵NUN. Thy worde is a lanterne vnto my feete, and a light vnto my path.

¹⁰⁶I haue sworne and will performe it, that I will keepe thy righteous iudgements.

¹⁰⁷I am very sore afflicted: O Lord, quicken me according to thy word.

¹⁰⁸O Lord, I beseeche thee accept the free offerings of my mouth, and teach mee thy iudgements.

¹⁰⁹My soule is continually in mine hande: yet doe I not forget thy Lawe.

¹¹⁰The wicked haue layed a snare for mee: but I swarued not from thy precepts.

¹¹¹Thy testimonies haue I taken as an heritage for euer: for they are the ioy of mine heart.

¹¹²I haue applied mine heart to fulfill thy statutes alway, euen vnto the ende.

¹¹³SAMECH. I hate vaine inuentions: but thy Lawe doe I loue.

¹¹⁴Thou art my refuge and shield, and I trust in thy worde.

¹¹⁵Away from mee, yee wicked: for I will keepe the commandements of my God.

¹¹⁶Stablish me according to thy promise, that I may liue, and disappoint me not of mine hope.

¹¹⁷Stay thou mee, and I shall be safe, and I will delite continually in thy statutes.

¹¹⁸Thou hast troden downe all them that depart from thy statutes: for their deceit is vaine.

¹¹⁹Thou hast taken away all ye wicked of the earth like drosse: therefore I loue thy testimonies.

¹²⁰My flesh trembleth for feare of thee, and I am afraide of thy iudgements.

¹²¹AIN. I haue executed iudgement and iustice: leaue me not to mine oppressours.

¹²²Answere for thy seruant in that, which is good, and let not the proude oppresse me.

¹²³Mine eyes haue failed in waiting for thy saluation, and for thy iust promise.

¹²⁴Deale with thy seruant according to thy mercie, and teache me thy statutes.

¹²⁵I am thy seruant: graunt mee therefore vnderstanding, that I may knowe thy testimonies.

¹²⁶It is time for thee Lord to worke: for they haue destroyed thy Lawe.

¹²⁷Therefore loue I thy commandements aboue golde, yea, aboue most fine golde.

¹²⁸Therefore I esteeme all thy precepts most iust, and hate all false wayes.

¹²⁹PE. Thy testimonies are wonderfull: therefore doeth my soule keepe them.

¹³⁰The entrance into thy wordes sheweth light, and giueth vnderstanding to the simple.

¹³¹I opened my mouth and panted, because I loued thy commandements.

¹³²Looke vpon mee and bee mercifull vnto me, as thou vsest to doe vnto those that loue thy Name.

¹³³Direct my steppes in thy worde, and let none iniquitie haue dominion ouer me.

¹³⁴Deliuer mee from the oppression of men, and I will keepe thy precepts.

¹³⁵Shew the light of thy countenance vpon thy seruant, and teache me thy statutes.

¹³⁶Mine eyes gush out with riuers of water, because they keepe not thy Lawe.

¹³⁷TSADDI. Righteous art thou, O Lord, and iust are thy iudgements.
