Psalm 119

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.

Thy word is a lantern unto my feet  *

and a light unto my paths.

I have sworn, and am stedfastly purposed *

to keep thy righteous judgements.

I am troubled above measure *

quicken me, O Lord, according to thy word.

Let the free-will offerings of my mouth please thee, O Lord *

and teach me thy judgements.

My soul is alway in my hand *

yet do I not forget thy law.

The ungodly have laid a snare for me *

but yet I swerved not from thy commandments.

Thy testimonies have I claimed as mine heritage for ever *

and why? they are the very joy of my heart.

I have applied my heart to fulfil thy statutes alway *

even unto the end.

I hate them that imagine evil things  *

but thy law do I love.

Thou art my defence and shield *

and my trust is in thy word.

Away from me, ye wicked *

I will keep the commandments of my God.

O stablish me according to thy word, that I may live *

and let me not be disappointed of my hope.

Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe *

yea, my delight shall be ever in thy statutes.

Thou hast trodden down all them that depart from thy statutes *

for they imagine but deceit.

Thou puttest away all the ungodly of the earth like dross *

therefore I love thy testimonies.

My flesh trembleth for fear of thee *

and I am afraid of thy judgements.
