|
|
| 52

|
| 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
| 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
| Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

|
|
| 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.
|
|
|
| 81
| My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
|
|
|
| 82
| Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
|
|
|
| 83
| For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.
|
|
|
| 84
| How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
|
|
|
| 85
| The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.
|
|
|
| 86
| All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
|
|
|
| 87
| They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
|
|
|
| 88
| Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
|
|
|
| 89
| For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
|
|
|
| 90
| Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
|
|
|
| 91
| They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.
|
|
|
| 92
| Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
|
|
|
| 93
| I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.
|
|
|
| 94
| I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.
|
|
|
| 95
| The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.
|
|
|
| 96
| I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.
|
|
|
| 97
| O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
|
|
|
| 98
| Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
|
|
|
| 99
| I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.
|
|
|
| 100
| I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
|
|
|
| 101
| I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
|
|
|
| 102
| I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
|
|
|
| 103
| How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
|
|
|
| 104
| Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
|
|
|
| 105
| Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
|
|
|
| 106
| I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
|
|
|
| 107
| I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.
|
|
|
| 108
| Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.
|
|
|
| 109
| My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.
|
|
|
| 110
| The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.
|
|
|
| 111
| Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
|
|
|
| 112
| I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes always, even unto the end.
|
|
|
| 113
| I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.
|
|
|
| 114
| Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
|
|
|
| 115
| Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
|
|
|
| 116
| Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
|
|
|
| 117
| Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.
|
|
|
| 118
| Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.
|
|
|
| 119
| Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.
|
|
|
| 120
| My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
|
|
|
| 121
| I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.
|
|
|
| 122
| Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.
|
|
|
| 123
| Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.
|
|
|
| 124
| Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.
|
|
|
| 125
| I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.
|
|
|
| 126
| It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.
|
|
|
| 127
| Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.
|
|
|
| 128
| Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.
|
|
|
| 129
| Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
|
|
|
| 130
| The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
|
|
|
| 131
| I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
|
|
|
| 132
| Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
|
|
|
| 133
| Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
|
|
|
| 134
| Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
|
|
|
| 135
| Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
|
|
|
| 136
| Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.
|
|
|
| 137
| Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.
|
|
|
| 138
| Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.
|
|
|
| 139
| My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.
|
|
|
| 140
| Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
|
|
|
| 141
| I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.
|
|
|
| 142
| Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
|
|
|
| 143
| Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.
|
|
|
| 144

|
|
|
| 145
| I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes.
|
|
|
| 146
| I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.
|
|
|
| 147
| I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.
|
|
|
| 148
| Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
|
|
|
| 149
| Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.
|
|
|
| 150
| They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
|
|
|
| 151
| Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.
|
|
|
| 152
| Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
|
|
|
| 153
| Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.
|
|
|
| 154
| Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.
|
|
|
| 155
| Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
|
|
|
| 156
| Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.
|
|
|
| 157
| Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies.
|
|
|
| 158
| I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.
|
|
|
| 159
| Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.
|
|
|
| 160
| Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
|
|
|
| 161
| Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
|
|
|
| 162
| I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
|
|
|
| 163
| I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.
|
|
|
| 164
| Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.
|
|
|
| 165
| Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
|
|
|
| 166
| LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.
|
|
|
| 167
| My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
|
|
|
| 168
| I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee.
|
|
|
| 169
| Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word.
|
|
|
| 170
| Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word.
|
|
|
| 171
| My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.
|
|
|
| 172
| My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.
|
|
|
| 173
| Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.
|
|
|
| 174
| I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight.
|
|
|
| 175
| Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.
|
|
|
| 176
