Psalm 119:25–48

²⁵My soul cleaveth unto the dust:

Quicken thou me according to thy word.

²⁶I declared my ways, and thou answeredst me:

Teach me thy statutes.

²⁷Make me to understand the way of thy precepts:

So shall I meditate on thy wondrous works.

²⁸My soul melteth for heaviness:

Strengthen thou me according unto thy word.

²⁹Remove from me the way of falsehood;

And grant me thy law graciously.

³⁰I have chosen the way of faithfulness:

Thine ordinances have I set before me.

³¹I cleave unto thy testimonies:

O Jehovah, put me not to shame.

³²I will run the way of thy commandments,

When thou shalt enlarge my heart.

³³Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of thy statutes;

And I shall keep it unto the end.

³⁴Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law;

Yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

³⁵Make me to go in the path of thy commandments;

For therein do I delight.

³⁶Incline my heart unto thy testimonies,

And not to covetousness.

³⁷Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity,

And quicken me in thy ways.

³⁸Confirm unto thy servant thy word,

Which is in order unto the fear of thee.

³⁹Turn away my reproach whereof I am afraid;

For thine ordinances are good.

⁴⁰Behold, I have longed after thy precepts:

Quicken me in thy righteousness.

⁴¹Let thy lovingkindnesses also come unto me, O Jehovah,

Even thy salvation, according to thy word.

⁴²So shall I have an answer for him that reproacheth me;

For I trust in thy word.

⁴³And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth;

For I have hoped in thine ordinances.

⁴⁴So shall I observe thy law continually

For ever and ever.

⁴⁵And I shall walk at liberty;

For I have sought thy precepts.

⁴⁶I will also speak of thy testimonies before kings,

And shall not be put to shame.

⁴⁷And I will delight myself in thy commandments,

Which I have loved.

⁴⁸I will lift up my hands also unto thy commandments, which I have loved;

And I will meditate on thy statutes.
