God

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

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

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

Thou hast commanded iustice by thy testimonies and trueth especially.

My zeale hath euen consumed mee, because mine enemies haue forgotten thy wordes.

Thy word is prooued most pure, and thy seruant loueth it.

I am small and despised: yet do I not forget thy precepts.

Thy righteousnesse is an euerlasting righteousnes, and thy Lawe is trueth.

Trouble and anguish are come vpon me: yet are thy commandements my delite.

The righteousnes of thy testimonies is euerlasting: graunt me vnderstanding, and I shall liue.

KOPH. I haue cried with my whole heart: heare me, O Lord, and I will keepe thy statutes.

I called vpon thee: saue mee, and I will keepe thy testimonies.

I preuented the morning light, and cried: for I waited on thy word.

Mine eyes preuent the night watches to meditate in thy word.

Heare my voyce according to thy louing kindenesse: O Lord, quicken me according to thy iudgement.

They drawe neere, that follow after malice, and are farre from thy Lawe.

Thou art neere, O Lord: for all thy commandements are true.

I haue knowen long since by thy testimonies, that thou hast established them for euer.

RESH. Beholde mine affliction, and deliuer mee: for I haue not forgotten thy Lawe.

Pleade my cause, and deliuer me: quicken me according vnto thy word.

Saluation is farre from the wicked, because they seeke not thy statutes.

Great are thy tender mercies, O Lord: quicken me according to thy iudgements.

My persecutours and mine oppressours are many: yet doe I not swarue from thy testimonies.

I saw the transgressours and was grieued, because they kept not thy worde.

Consider, O Lord, how I loue thy preceptes: quicken mee according to thy louing kindenesse.
