I hate them that are of a double mind; Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. Depart from me, ye evil-doers; That I may keep the commandments of my God. Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe, may live; And shall have respect unto thy statutes continually. Thou hast set at nought all them that err from thy statutes; For their deceit is falsehood. Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; I have done judgement and justice: Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, I am thy servant, give me understanding; It is time for the LORD to work; For they have made void thy law. Therefore I love thy commandments Above gold, yea, above fine gold. Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; And I hate every false way. S Thy testimonies are wonderful : Therefore doth my soul keep them. Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me, As thou usest to do unto those that love thy name. Order my footsteps in thy word; And let not any iniquity have dominion over me. ≈ Redeem me from the oppression of man: So will I observe thy precepts. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; And teach me thy statutes. Mine eyes run down with rivers of water, Righteous art thou, O LORD, And upright are thy judgements. Thou hast commanded thy testimonies in righteousness And very faithfulness. My zeal hath consumed me, Because mine adversaries have forgotten thy words. T Thy word is very pure; Therefore thy servant loveth it. I am small and despised: Yet do not I forget thy precepts. Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: I have called with my whole heart; answer me, O I will keep thy statutes. I have called unto thee; save me, And I shall observe thy testimonies. I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy words. Mine eyes prevented the night watches, That I might meditate in thy word. Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: Quicken me, O LORD, according to thy judgements. Thou art nigh, O LORD; And all thy commandments are truth. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me; W Plead thou my cause, and redeem me: Consider how I love thy precepts; Quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkind ness. The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous judgements endureth for ever. Princes have persecuted me without a cause; I rejoice at thy word, As one that findeth great spoil. I hate and abhor falsehood; But thy law do I love. Seven times a day do I praise thee, Because of thy righteous judgements. I have observed thy precepts and thy testimonies ; Z Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: |
