I will give thee thanks with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.

I will keep thy statutes: forsake me not utterly.

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

With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.

I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all wealth.

I will meditate upon thy precepts, and have respect unto thy paths.

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

GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant and I shall live; and I will keep thy word.

My soul breaketh for longing after thy judgments at all times.

Make me to understand the way of thy precepts, and I will meditate upon thy wondrous works.

I will run the way of thy commandments when thou shalt enlarge my heart.

HE. Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of thy statutes, and I will observe it unto the end.

Give me understanding, and I will observe thy law; and I will keep it with my whole heart.

Then will I keep thy law continually, for ever and ever;

And I will walk at liberty, for I have sought thy precepts;

And I will speak of thy testimonies before kings, and will not be ashamed;

And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved;

And I will lift up my hands unto thy commandments, which I have loved, and I will meditate in thy statutes.

I have sought thy favour with my whole heart: be gracious unto me according to thy word.

I am the companion of all that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.

TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Jehovah, according to thy word.

The proud have forged falsehood against me: I will observe thy precepts with my whole heart.

YOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, and I will learn thy commandments.

They that fear thee will see me, and rejoice; because I have hoped in thy word.

All thy commandments are faithfulness. They persecute me wrongfully: help thou me.

Quicken me according to thy loving-kindness, and I will keep the testimony of thy mouth.

By thine ordinances they stand this day; for all things are thy servants.

I will never forget thy precepts; for by them thou hast quickened me.

I have seen an end of all perfection: thy commandment is exceeding broad.

MEM. Oh how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day.

I have more understanding than all my teachers; for thy testimonies are my meditation.

I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.

Depart from me, ye evil-doers; and I will observe the commandments of my God.

Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe; and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.

Thou hast set at nought all them that wander from thy statutes; for their deceit is falsehood.

Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross; therefore I love thy testimonies.

Therefore I regard all thy precepts concerning all things to be right: I hate every false path.

Deliver me from the oppression of man; and I will keep thy precepts.

KOPH. I have called with my whole heart; answer me, O Jehovah: I will observe thy statutes.

I call upon thee; save me, and I will keep thy testimonies.

Thou, Jehovah, art near, and all thy commandments are truth.

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

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

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

Behold, he that keepeth Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

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.

For my brethren and companions' sakes I will say, Peace be within thee!

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

But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel!

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

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

Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all that hate Zion;

And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

{A Song of degrees.} Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction;

I will not come into the tent of my house, I will not go up to the couch of my bed;

I will not give sleep to mine eyes, slumber to mine eyelids,

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.

This is my rest for ever; here will I dwell, for I have desired it.

I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy ones with bread;

And I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

There will I cause the horn of David to bud forth; I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown flourish.

Like the precious oil upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, upon Aaron's beard, that ran down to the hem of his garments;

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

For I know that Jehovah is great, and our Lord is above all gods.

Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps;

Who sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants;

Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;

For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants.

Who giveth food to all flesh, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever.

For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that made us wail required mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

{A Psalm of David.} I will give thee thanks with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing psalms of thee.

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;

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

Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways;

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.

I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted one, the right of the needy.

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

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

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

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

O God, I will sing a new song unto thee; with the ten-stringed lute will I sing psalms unto thee:

Our granaries full, affording all manner of store; our sheep bringing forth thousands, ten thousands in our pastures;

{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.

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.

Jehovah is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his works.

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

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

Jehovah upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all that are bowed down.

The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their food in its season.

Jehovah is righteous in all his ways, and kind in all his works.

Jehovah is nigh unto all that call upon him, unto all that call upon him in truth.

Jehovah keepeth all that love him, and all the wicked will he destroy.

My mouth shall speak the praise of Jehovah; and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
