Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect to all thy commandments.

I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.

With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.

Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.

I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.

I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.

I have adhered to thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.

Incline my heart to thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.

And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.

I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.

The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet I have not declined from thy law.

I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.

I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.

The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.

Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I may not be ashamed.

For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet I do not forget thy statutes.

The proud have digged pits for me, which are not according to thy law.

They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.

I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.

My soul is continually in my hand: yet I do not forget thy law.

The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.

Uphold me according to thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

AIN. I have done judgment and justice; leave me not to my oppressors.

Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.

Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

Rivers of waters run down my eyes, because they keep not thy law.

I am small and despised: yet I do not forget thy precepts.

My eyes anticipated the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.

RESH. Consider my affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.

Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.

Many are my persecutors and my enemies; yet I do not decline from thy testimonies.

I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.

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

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

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

A Song of degrees of David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands to iniquity.

Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

With which the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves, his bosom.

A Song of degrees of David. LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;

I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,

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

The LORD hath sworn in truth to David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

A Song of degrees. Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, who by night stand in the house of the LORD.

They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not.

They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever.

If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works thy own hands.

For there is not a word on my tongue, but lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

Yes, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

My substance was not hid from thee when I was made in secret, and curiously formed in the lowest parts of the earth.

Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way side: they have set gins for me. Selah.

Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.

Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not again.

Let not an evil speaker be established on the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.

Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

But my eyes are to thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.

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

Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like them that go down into the pit.

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.

He hath also established them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.

My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

My son, forget not my law; but let thy heart keep my commandments;

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thy heart:

Trust in the LORD with all thy heart; and lean not to thy own understanding.

Be not wise in thy own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared to her.

My son, let not them depart from thy eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, 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.

Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

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

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

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

Strive not with a man without cause, if he hath done thee no harm.

Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.

For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.

Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.

Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.

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.

Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.

Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
