Psalms 119:15-39
15
I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
16
I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
17
¶ GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.
18
¶ Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
19
¶ I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
20
¶ My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.
21
¶ Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.
22
¶ Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.
23
¶ Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.
24
¶ Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.
25
¶ DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.
26
¶ I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.
27
Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
28
¶ My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.
29
Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.
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.
