- I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies,
as much as in all riches. - I have chosen the way of truth:
thy judgments have I laid before me. - Incline my heart unto thy testimonies,
and not to covetousness. - And I will walk at liberty:
for I seek thy precepts. - 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.Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.
