Psalm 119

Thy hands have made me and fashioned me *

O give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

They that fear thee will be glad when they see me *

because I have put my trust in thy word.

I know, O Lord, that thy judgements are right *

and that thou of very faithfulness hast caused me to be troubled.

O let thy merciful kindness be my comfort *

according to thy word unto thy servant.

O let thy loving mercies come unto me, that I may live *

for thy law is my delight.

Let the proud be confounded, for they go wickedly about to destroy me *

but I will be occupied in thy commandments.

Let such as fear thee, and have known thy testimonies *

be turned unto me.

O let my heart be sound in thy statutes *

that I be not ashamed.

My soul hath longed for thy salvation  *

and I have a good hope because of thy word.

Mine eyes long sore for thy word *

saying, O when wilt thou comfort me?

For I am become like a bottle in the smoke *

yet do I not forget thy statutes.

How many are the days of thy servant *

when wilt thou be avenged of them that persecute me?

The proud have digged pits for me *

which are not after thy law.

All thy commandments are true *

they persecute me falsely; O be thou my help.

They had almost made an end of me upon earth *

but I forsook not thy commandments.

O quicken me after thy loving-kindness *

and so shall I keep the testimonies of thy mouth.

O Lord, thy word  *

endureth for ever in heaven.

Thy truth also remaineth from one generation to another *

thou hast laid the foundation of the earth, and it abideth.

They continue this day according to thine ordinance *

for all things serve thee.

If my delight had not been in thy law *

I should have perished in my trouble.

I will never forget thy commandments *

for with them thou hast quickened me.

I am thine, O save me *

for I have sought thy commandments.

The ungodly laid wait for me to destroy me *

but I will consider thy testimonies.

I see that all things come to an end *

but thy commandment is exceeding broad.

Lord, what love have I unto thy law  *

all the day long is my study in it.

Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies *

for they are ever with me.

I have more understanding than my teachers *

for thy testimonies are my study.

I am wiser than the aged *

because I keep thy commandments.

I have refrained my feet from every evil way *

that I may keep thy word.

I have not shrunk from thy judgements *

for thou teachest me.

O how sweet are thy words unto my throat *

yea, sweeter than honey unto my mouth.

Through thy commandments I get understanding *

therefore I hate all evil ways.
