- 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. - I stretch forth my hands unto thee:
my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. - Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning;
for in thee do I trust:
cause me to know the way wherein I should walk;
for I lift up my soul unto thee. - Teach me to do thy will;
for thou art my God:
thy spirit is good;
lead me into the land of uprightness. - I will extol thee, my God, O king;
and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. - Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
and his greatness is unsearchable. - The Lord is righteous in all his ways,
and holy in all his works. - The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him,
to all that call upon him in truth. - The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind:
the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down:
the Lord loveth the righteous. - The Lord preserveth the strangers;
he relieveth the fatherless and widow:
but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. - He healeth the broken in heart,
and bindeth up their wounds.
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
