Psalms:119:18-68
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Open thou mine eyes ,
that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law .
*
I am a stranger in the earth :
hide not thy commandments from me .
*
My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times .
*
Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed ,
which do err from thy commandments .
*
Remove from me reproach and contempt ;
for I have kept thy testimonies .
*
Princes also did sit and speak against me :
but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes .
*
Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors .
*
My soul cleaveth unto the dust :
quicken thou me according to thy word .
*
I have declared my ways ,
and thou heardest me :
teach me thy statutes .
*
Make me to understand the way of thy precepts :
so shall I talk of thy wondrous works .
*
My soul melteth for heaviness :
strengthen thou me according unto thy word .
*
Remove from me the way of lying :
and grant me thy law graciously .
*
I have chosen the way of truth :
thy judgments have I laid before me .
*
I have stuck unto thy testimonies :
O LORD ,
put me not to shame .
*
I will run the way of thy commandments ,
when thou shalt enlarge my heart .
*
Teach me ,
O LORD ,
the way of thy statutes ;
and I shall keep it unto the end .
*
Give me understanding ,
and I shall keep thy law ;
yea ,
I shall observe it with my whole heart .
*
Make me to go in the path of thy commandments ;
for therein do I delight .
*
Incline my heart unto thy testimonies ,
and not to covetousness .
*
Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity ;
and quicken thou me in thy way .
*
Stablish thy word unto thy servant ,
who is devoted to thy fear .
*
Turn away my reproach which I fear :
for thy judgments are good .
*
Behold ,
I have longed after thy precepts :
quicken me in thy righteousness .
*
Let thy mercies come also unto me ,
O LORD ,
even thy salvation ,
according to thy word .
*
So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me :
for I trust in thy word .
*
And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth ;
for I have hoped in thy judgments .
*
So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever .
*
And I will walk at liberty :
for I seek thy precepts .
*
I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings ,
and will not be ashamed .
*
And I will delight myself in thy commandments ,
which I have loved .
*
My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments ,
which I have loved ;
and I will meditate in thy statutes .
*
Remember the word unto thy servant ,
upon which thou hast caused me to hope .
*
This is my comfort in my affliction :
for thy word hath quickened me .
*
The proud have had me greatly in derision :
yet have I not declined from thy law .
*
I remembered thy judgments of old ,
O LORD ;
and have comforted myself .
*
Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law .
*
Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage .
*
I have remembered thy name ,
O LORD ,
in the night ,
and have kept thy law .
*
This I had ,
because I kept thy precepts .
*
Thou art my portion ,
O LORD :
I have said that I would keep thy words .
*
I intreated thy favour with my whole heart :
be merciful unto me according to thy word .
*
I thought on my ways ,
and turned my feet unto thy testimonies .
*
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 .
*
At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments .
*
I am a companion of all them that fear thee ,
and of them that keep thy precepts .
*
The earth ,
O LORD ,
is full of thy mercy :
teach me thy statutes .
*
Thou hast dealt well with thy servant ,
O LORD ,
according unto thy word .
*
Teach me good judgment and knowledge :
for I have believed thy commandments .
*
Before I was afflicted I went astray :
but now have I kept thy word .
*
Thou art good ,
and doest good ;
teach me thy statutes .
