PE.

Thy testimonies are wonderful:

Therefore doth my soul keep them.

The entrance of thy words giveth light;

It giveth understanding unto the simple.

I opened my mouth, and panted:

For I longed for thy commandments.

Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me,

As thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.

Order my steps in thy word:

And let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

Deliver me from the oppression of man:

So will I keep thy precepts.

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant;

And teach me thy statutes.

Rivers of waters run down mine eyes,

Because they keep not thy law.
