- I made haste, and delayed not
to keep thy commandments. - I will never forget thy precepts:
for with them thou hast quickened me. - Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,
and a light unto my path. - Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever:
for they are the rejoicing of my heart. - Thou art my hiding place and my shield:
I hope in thy word. - The entrance of thy words giveth light;
it giveth understanding unto the simple. - Order my steps in thy word:
and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. - Thy word is true from the beginning:
and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. - Great peace have they which love thy law:
and nothing shall offend them. - Deliver my soul, O Lord,
from lying lips,
and from a deceitful tongue. - I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,
from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the Lord,
which made heaven and earth. - He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:
he that keepeth thee will not slumber. - The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil:
he shall preserve thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in
from this time forth, and even for evermore. - Our help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth. - Except the Lord build the house,
they labour in vain that build it:
except the Lord keep the city,
the watchman waketh but in vain. - Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord;
that walketh in his ways. - Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord.
Lord, hear my voice:
let thine ears be attentive
to the voice of my supplications. - I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait,
and in his word do I hope. - Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
for brethren to dwell together in unity! - The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me:
thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever:
forsake not the works of thine own hands. - O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising,
thou understandest my thought afar off. - For there is not a word in my tongue,
but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. - Whither shall I go from thy spirit?
or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there:
if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. - For thou hast possessed my reins:
thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
marvellous are thy works;
and that my soul knoweth right well. - Search me, O God, and know my heart:
try me, and know my thoughts:
And see if there be any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
Hear my prayer, O Lord,
give ear to my supplications:
in thy faithfulness answer me,
and in thy righteousness.A fool despiseth his father's instruction:
but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
