Psalms 119:56-80
56
This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
57
¶ CHETH. 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
¶ TETH. 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
¶ JOD. 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.
80
¶ Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.
