God

Make Your face shine upon Your servant, and teach me Your statutes.

My eyes shed streams of tears because Your law is not obeyed.

Righteous are You, O LORD, and upright are Your judgments.

The testimonies You have laid down are righteous and altogether faithful.

My zeal has consumed me because my foes forget Your words.

Your promise is completely pure; therefore Your servant loves it.

I am lowly and despised, but I do not forget Your precepts.

Your righteousness is everlasting and Your law is true.

Trouble and distress have found me, but Your commandments are my delight.

Your testimonies are righteous forever. Give me understanding, that I may live.

I call with all my heart; answer me, O LORD! I will obey Your statutes.

I call to You; save me, that I may keep Your testimonies.

I rise before dawn and cry for help; in Your word I have put my hope.

My eyes anticipate the watches of night, that I may meditate on Your word.

Hear my voice, O LORD, according to Your loving devotion; give me life according to Your justice.

Those who follow after wickedness draw near; they are far from Your law.

You are near, O LORD, and all Your commandments are true.

Long ago I learned from Your testimonies that You have established them forever.

Look upon my affliction and rescue me, for I have not forgotten Your law.

Defend my cause and redeem me; revive me according to Your word.

Salvation is far from the wicked because they do not seek Your statutes.

Great are Your mercies, O LORD; revive me according to Your ordinances.

Though my persecutors and foes are many, I have not turned from Your testimonies.

I look on the faithless with loathing because they do not keep Your word.

Consider how I love Your precepts, O LORD; give me life according to Your loving devotion.
