I have joy in thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.

I hate and abhor falsehood; thy law do I love.

Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.

Great peace have they that love thy law, and nothing doth stumble them.

I have hoped for thy salvation, O Jehovah, and have done thy commandments.

My soul hath kept thy testimonies, and I love them exceedingly.

I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies; for all my ways are before thee.

TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, Jehovah: give me understanding according to thy word.

Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word.

My lips shall pour forth praise when thou hast taught me thy statutes.

My tongue shall speak aloud of thy word; for all thy commandments are righteousness.

Let thy hand be for my help; for I have chosen thy precepts.

I have longed for thy salvation, O Jehovah, and thy law is my delight.

Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.

I have gone astray like a lost sheep: seek thy servant; for I have not forgotten thy commandments.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

Jehovah is thy keeper, Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand;

Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; he will keep thy soul.

Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth and for evermore.

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

Peace be within thy bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces.

Because of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.

For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands; happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the inner part of thy house; thy children like olive-plants round about thy table.

Jehovah will bless thee out of Zion; and mayest thou see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life,

And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!

Arise, Jehovah, into thy rest, thou and the ark of thy strength.

Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let thy saints shout for joy.

For thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of thine anointed.

Jehovah hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne;

If thy children keep my covenant, and my testimonies which I will teach them, their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.

Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation.

Happy he that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock.

I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness, and celebrate thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

All the kings of the earth shall celebrate thee, Jehovah, when they have heard the words of thy mouth;

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the anger of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

Jehovah will perfect what concerneth me: thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, endureth for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.

Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand upon me.

Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? and whither flee from thy presence?

Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

I will praise thee, for I am fearfully, wonderfully made. Marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Thine eyes did see my unformed substance, and in thy book all my members were written; during many days were they fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

But how precious are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

For they speak of thee wickedly, they take thy name in vain, thine enemies.

Yea, the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name; the upright shall dwell in thy presence.

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may celebrate thy name. The righteous shall surround me, because thou dealest bountifully with me.

{A Psalm of David.} Jehovah, hear my prayer; give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, in thy righteousness.

And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.

I remember the days of old: I meditate on all thy doing; I muse on the work of thy hands.

Answer me speedily, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, or I shall be like unto them that go down into the pit.

Cause me to hear thy loving-kindness in the morning, for in thee do I confide; make me to know the way wherein I should walk, for unto thee do I lift up my soul.

Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: let thy good Spirit lead me in a plain country.

Revive me, O Jehovah, for thy name's sake; in thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble;

And in thy loving-kindness cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that oppress my soul: for I am thy servant.

Jehovah, bow thy heavens, and come down; touch the mountains, that they smoke;

Stretch out thy hands from above; rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of aliens,

Who givest salvation unto kings; who rescuest David thy servant from the hurtful sword.

{A Psalm of praise. Of David.} I will extol thee, my God, O King, and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

Every day will I bless thee, and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

One generation shall laud thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.

I will speak of the glorious splendour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.

And they shall tell of the might of thy terrible acts; and thy great deeds will I declare.

They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

All thy works shall praise thee, Jehovah, and thy saints shall bless thee.

They shall tell of the glory of thy kingdom, and speak of thy power;

Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages, and thy dominion is throughout all generations.

Thou openest thy hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

Jehovah will reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Halleluiah!

Laud Jehovah, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee;

He maketh peace in thy borders; he satisfieth thee with the finest of the wheat.

Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother;

for they shall be a garland of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

cast in thy lot among us; we will all have one purse:

my son, walk not in the way with them, keep back thy foot from their path;

so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom and thou apply thy heart to understanding;

yea, if thou criest after discernment and liftest up thy voice to understanding;

When wisdom entereth into thy heart and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul,

My son, forget not my teaching, and let thy heart observe my commandments;

Let not loving-kindness and truth forsake thee; bind them about thy neck, write them upon the tablet of thy heart:

Confide in Jehovah with all thy heart, and lean not unto thine own intelligence;

in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he will make plain thy paths.

it shall be health for thy navel, and moisture for thy bones.

Honour Jehovah with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of all thine increase;

so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy vats shall overflow with new wine.

so shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace unto thy neck.

Then shalt thou walk in thy way securely, and thy foot shall not stumble;

when thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid, but thou shalt lie down and thy sleep shall be sweet.

for Jehovah shall be thy confidence, and he will keep thy foot from being taken.

Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thy hand to do it.

Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to-morrow I will give, when thou hast it by thee.

Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

And he taught me, and said unto me, Let thy heart retain my words; keep my commandments and live.

The beginning of wisdom is, Get wisdom; and with all thy getting get intelligence.

She shall give to thy head a garland of grace; a crown of glory will she bestow upon thee.

Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, and the years of thy life shall be multiplied.

When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

Take fast hold of instruction, let her not go: keep her, for she is thy life.

Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thy heart.

Keep thy heart more than anything that is guarded; for out of it are the issues of life.
