Psalms 119:30-53
30
¶ I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.
31
I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.
32
I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
33
¶ HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.
34
Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
35
¶ Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.
36
Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
37
¶ Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.
38
¶ Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.
39
¶ Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.
40
¶ Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.
41
¶ VAU. 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
¶ ZAIN. 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.
