40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness. |
41 Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word. |
42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy 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 law continually for ever and ever. |
45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. |
46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. |
47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. |
48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. |
49 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. |
52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself. |
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 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. |
59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. |
60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. |
61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law. |
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. |
64 The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes. |
65 Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word. |
66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. |
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 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 word. |
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 ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts. |
79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies. |
