Thy

With my

18
Open thou mine
eyes, that I may
behold wondrous
things out of thy
law.
19
I am a
stranger in the
earth: hide not thy
commandments from me.
20
My
soul breaketh for the
longing that it hath unto thy
judgments at all
times.
21
Thou hast
rebuked the
proud that are
cursed , which do
err from thy
commandments.
23
Princes also did
sit and
speak against me: but thy
servant did
meditate in thy
statutes.
24
Thy
testimonies also are my
delight and my
counsellors *.
25
DALETH. My
soul cleaveth unto the
dust: quicken thou me according to thy
word.
26
I have
declared my

Make me to

I have
stuck unto thy
testimonies: O
LORD, put me not to

word.
43
And
take not the
word of
truth utterly out of my
mouth; for I have
hoped in thy
judgments.
44
So shall I
keep thy

Remember the
word unto thy
servant, upon which thou hast caused me to
hope .
50
This is my
comfort in my
affliction: for thy
word hath
quickened me.
51
The
proud have had me
greatly in
derision : yet have I not
declined from thy
law.
53
Horror hath taken
hold upon me because of the
wicked that
forsake thy
law.
54
Thy
statutes have been my
songs in the
house of my
pilgrimage.
55
I have
remembered thy
name, O
LORD, in the
night, and have
kept thy
law.
56
This I had, because I
kept thy
precepts.
57
CHETH. Thou art my
portion, O
LORD: I have
said that I would
keep thy
words.
58
I
intreated thy
favour with my whole
heart: be
merciful unto me according to thy
word.
60
I made
haste , and
delayed not to
keep thy
commandments.

The
bands of the
wicked have
robbed me: but I have not
forgotten thy

62
At
midnight I will
rise to give
thanks unto thee because of thy
righteous judgments.
63
I am a
companion of all them that
fear thee, and of them that
keep thy
precepts.
65
TETH. Thou hast
dealt well with thy
servant, O
LORD, according unto thy
word.
67
Before I was
afflicted I went
astray : but now have I
kept thy
word.
68
Thou art
good, and doest
good ;
teach me thy
statutes.
69
The
proud have
forged a
lie against me: but I will
keep thy
precepts with my whole
heart.
70
Their
heart is as
fat as
grease; but I
delight in thy
law.
71
It is
good for me that I have been
afflicted ; that I might
learn thy
statutes.
72
The
law of thy
mouth is
better unto me than
thousands of
gold and
silver.
73
JOD. Thy
hands have
made me and
fashioned me: give me
understanding , that I may
learn thy
commandments.
74
They that
fear thee will be
glad when they
see me; because I have
hoped in thy

75
I
know , O
LORD, that thy
judgments are
right, and that thou in
faithfulness hast
afflicted me.
76
Let, I pray thee, thy merciful
kindness be for my
comfort , according to thy
word unto thy
servant.
77
Let thy tender
mercies come unto me, that I may
live : for thy
law is my
delight.
78
Let the
proud be

perversely with me without a
cause: but I will
meditate in thy
precepts.

How many are the
days of thy
servant? when wilt thou
execute judgment on them that
persecute me?
85
The
proud have
digged pits for me, which are not after thy
law.
87
They had
almost consumed me upon
earth; but I
forsook not thy
precepts.
88
Quicken me after thy

Accept , I beseech thee, the freewill
offerings of my
mouth, O

110
The
wicked have
laid a

Thy

Uphold me according unto thy
word, that I may

Hold thou me

Therefore I esteem all thy
