God

This I had because I kept thy precepts.

CHETH. O Lord, that art my portion, I haue determined to keepe thy wordes.

I made my supplication in thy presence with my whole heart: be mercifull vnto me according to thy promise.

I haue considered my waies, and turned my feete into thy testimonies.

I made haste and delaied not to keepe thy commandements.

The bandes of the wicked haue robbed me: but I haue not forgotten thy Lawe.

At midnight will I rise to giue thanks vnto thee, because of thy righteous iudgements.

I am companion of all them that feare thee, and keepe thy precepts.

The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercie: teache me thy statutes.

TETH. O Lord, thou hast delt graciously with thy seruant according vnto thy woorde.

Teach me good iudgement and knowledge: for I haue beleeued thy commandements.

Before I was afflicted, I went astray: but nowe I keepe thy woorde.

Thou art good and gracious: teach me thy statutes.

The proud haue imagined a lie against me: but I wil keepe thy precepts with my whole heart.

Their heart is fatte as grease: but my delite is in thy Lawe.

It is good for me that I haue beene afflicted, that I may learne thy statutes.

The Lawe of thy mouth is better vnto me, then thousands of golde and siluer.

IOD. Thine hands haue made me and fashioned me: giue mee vnderstanding therefore, that I may learne thy commandements.

So they that feare thee, seeing mee shall reioyce, because I haue trusted in thy worde.

I knowe, O Lord, that thy iudgements are right, and that thou hast afflicted me iustly.

I pray thee that thy mercie may comfort me according to thy promise vnto thy seruant.

Let thy tender mercies come vnto me, that I may liue: for thy Lawe is my delite.

Let the proude be ashamed: for they haue dealt wickedly and falsely with me: but I meditate in thy precepts.

Let such as feare thee turne vnto me, and they that knowe thy testimonies.

Let mine heart bee vpright in thy statutes, that I be not ashamed.
