Psalm 118:31–49

31 I have stuck to thy testimonies, O Lord: put me not to shame.

32 I have run the way of thy commandments, when thou didst enlarge my heart.

33 Set before me for a law the way of thy justifications, O Lord: and I will always seek after it.

34 Give me understanding, and I will search thy law; and I will keep it with my whole heart.

35 Lead me into the path of thy commandments; for this same I have desired.

36 Incline my heart into thy testimonies and not to covetousness.

37 Turn away my eyes that they may not behold vanity: quicken me in thy way.

38 Establish thy word to thy servant, in thy fear.

39 Turn away my reproach, which I have apprehended: for thy judgments are delightful.

40 Behold I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy justice.

41 Let thy mercy also come upon me, O Lord: thy salvation according to thy word.

42 So shall I answer them that reproach me in any thing; that I have trusted in thy words.

43 And take not thou the word of truth utterly out of my mouth: for in thy words, I have hoped exceedingly.

44 So shall I always keep thy law, for ever and ever.

45 And I walked at large: because I have sought after thy commandments.

46 And I spoke of thy testimonies before kings: and I was not ashamed.

47 I meditated also on thy commandments, which I loved.

48 And I lifted up my hands to thy commandments, which I loved: and I was exercised in thy justifications.

49 Be thou mindful of thy word to thy servant, in which thou hast given me hope.
