Seeker Overlay ON

* Happy are they who are upright in their way , Who walk in the law of the LORD ! * Happy are they who observe his ordinances , And seek him with their whole heart ; * Who also do no iniquity , But walk in his ways ! * Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently . * O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes ! * Then shall I not be put to shame , When I have respect to all thy commandments . * I will praise thee in uprightness of heart , When I shall have learned thy righteous laws . * I will keep thy statutes ; Do not utterly forsake me ! * How shall a young man keep his way pure ? By taking heed to it according to thy word . * 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 . * Blessed be thou , O LORD ! O teach me thy statutes ! * With my lips do I declare All the precepts of thy mouth . * In the way of thine ordinances I rejoice As much as in all riches . * I meditate on thy precepts , And have respect unto thy ways . * I delight myself in thy statutes ; I do not forget thy word . * Deal kindly with thy servant , that I may live , And have regard to thy word ! * Open thou mine eyes , That I may behold wondrous things out of thy law ! * I am a stranger in the earth ; O hide not thy precepts from me ! * My soul breaketh within me , On account of longing for thy judgments at all times . * Thou rebukest the proud , the accursed , Who wander from thy commandments . * Remove from me reproach and contempt , For I have kept thine ordinances ! * Princes sit and speak against me , But thy servant meditateth on thy statutes . * Thine ordinances are my delight ; Yea , they are my counsellors . * My soul cleaveth to the dust ; O revive me , according to thy word ! * I have declared my ways , and thou hast heard me ; Teach me thy statutes ! * Make me to understand the way of thy precepts ! So will I meditate upon thy wonders . * My soul weepeth for trouble ; O lift me up according to thy promise ! * Remove from me the way of falsehood , And graciously grant me thy law ! * I have chosen the way of truth , And set thy statutes before me . * I cleave to thine ordinances ; O LORD ! let me not be put to shame ! * I will run in the way of thy commandments , When thou shalt enlarge my heart . * Teach me , O LORD ! the way of thy statutes , That I may keep it to the end ! * Give me understanding , that I may keep thy law ; That I may observe it with my whole heart ! * Cause me to tread in the path of thy commandments , For in it I have my delight . * Incline my heart to thine ordinances , And not to the love of gain ! * Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity , And quicken me in thy law ! * Fulfill to thy servant thy promise , Which thou hast made to him who feareth thee ! * Turn away the reproach which I fear ; For thy judgments are good . * Behold , I have longed for thy precepts ; O quicken thou me in thy righteousness ! * Let thy mercies come to me , O LORD ! And thy help according to thy promise ! * So shall I be able to answer him that reproacheth me ; For I trust in thy promise . * O take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth ! For I trust in thy judgments . * So shall I keep thy law continually , For ever and ever . * I shall walk in a wide path ; For I seek thy precepts . * I will speak of thine ordinances before kings , And will not be ashamed . * I will delight myself in thy commandments , which I love ; * I will lift up my hands to thy precepts , which I love ; I will meditate on thy statutes . * Remember thy promise to thy servant , Because thou hast caused me to hope ! * This is my comfort in my affliction ; For thy promise reviveth me . * The proud have had me greatly in derision ; Yet have I not swerved from thy law . * I remember thy judgments of old , O LORD ! And I comfort myself . * Indignation burneth within me , On account of the wicked who forsake thy law . * Thy statutes have been my song In the house of my pilgrimage . * In the night , O LORD ! I think of thy name , And keep thy law ! * This have I as my own , That I keep thy precepts . * Thou art my portion , O LORD ! I have resolved that I will keep thy precepts . * I have sought thy favor with my whole heart ; Be gracious unto me according to thy promise ! * I think on my ways , And turn my feet to thy statutes ; * I make haste , and delay not , To keep thy commandments . * The snares of the wicked surround me ; Yet do I not forget thy law . * At midnight I rise to give thanks to thee On account of thy righteous judgments . * I am the companion of all who fear thee , And who obey thy precepts . * The earth , O LORD ! is full of thy goodness ; O teach me thy statutes ! * Thou dost bless thy servant , O LORD ! According to thy promise ! * Teach me sound judgment and knowledge ! For I have faith in thy commandments . * Before I was afflicted , I went astray ; But now I keep thy word . * Thou art good and doest good ; O teach me thy statutes ! * The proud forge lies against me , But I keep thy precepts with my whole heart . * Their heart is senseless like fat ; But I delight in thy law . * It is good for me that I have been afflicted , That I might learn thy statutes . * The law of thy mouth is better to me Than thousands of gold and silver . * Thy hands have made and fashioned me ; Give me understanding , that I may learn thy commandments ! * They who fear thee shall see me and rejoice , Because I trust in thy word . * I know , O LORD ! that thy judgments are right , And that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me . * O let thy loving –kindness be my comfort , According to thy promise to thy servant ! * Let thy tender mercies come to me , that I may live ! For thy law is my delight . * May the proud be put to shame , who wrong me without cause ! But I will meditate on thy precepts . * Let those who fear thee turn unto me , And they that know thine ordinances ! * May my heart be perfect in thy statutes , That I may not be put to shame ! * My soul fainteth for thy salvation ; In thy promise do I trust . * Mine eyes fail with looking for thy promise ; When . say I , wilt thou comfort me ? * Yea , I am become like a bottle in the smoke ; Yet do I not forget thy statutes . * How many are the days of thy servant ? When wilt thou execute judgment upon my persecutors ? * The proud have digged pits for me ; They who do not regard thy law . * All thy commandments are faithful ; They persecute me without cause ; help thou me ! * They had almost consumed me from the earth ; But I forsook not thy precepts . * Quicken me according to thy loving –kindness , That I may keep the law of thy mouth ! * Thy word , O LORD ! abideth for ever , Being established like the heavens ; * Thy faithfulness endureth to all generations . Thou hast established the earth , and it abideth . * They continue to this day according to their ordinances ; For they are all subject to thee . * Had not thy law been my delight , I should have perished in my affliction . * I will never forget thy precepts ; For by them thou revivest me . * I am thine , help me ! For I seek thy precepts . * The wicked lie in wait to destroy me ; But I will have regard to thine ordinances . * I have seen an end of all perfection ; But thy law is exceeding broad . * O how I love thy law ! It is my daily meditation . * Thou hast made me wiser than my enemies by thy precepts ; For they are ever before me . * I have more understanding than all my teachers ; For thine ordinances are my meditation . * I have more wisdom than the ancients , Because I keep thy precepts . * I have restrained my feet from every evil way , That I might keep thy word . * I depart not from thy statutes , For thou teachest me ! * How sweet are thy words to my taste ; Yea , sweeter than honey to my mouth ! * From thy precepts I learn wisdom ; Therefore do I hate every false way . * Thy word is a lamp to my feet , And a light to my path . * I have sworn , and I will perform it , That I will keep thy righteous statutes . * I am exceedingly afflicted ; Revive me , O LORD ! according to thy word ! * Accept , O LORD ! the free –will offering of my mouth , And teach me thy statutes ! * My life is continually in my hand ; Yet do I not forget thy law . * The wicked lay snares for me , Yet do I not go astray from thy precepts . * I have made thine ordinances my possession for ever ; For they are the joy of my heart . * I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes , Always ,––even to the end . * I hate impious men , And thy law I do love . * Thou art my hiding –place and my shield ; In thy word I put my trust ! * Depart from me , ye evil –doers ! For I will keep the commandments of my God . * Uphold me according to thy promise , that I may live ; And let me not be ashamed of my hope ! * Do thou hold me up , and I shall be safe , And I will have respect to thy statutes continually ! * Thou castest off all who depart from thy laws ; For their deceit is vain . * Thou throwest away all the wicked of the earth , like dross ; Therefore I love thine ordinances . * My flesh trembleth through fear of thee , And I am afraid of thy judgments . * I have done justice and equity ; O leave me not to mine oppressors . * Be surety for thy servant for good ; Let not the proud oppress me ! * Mine eyes fail with looking for thy help , And for thy righteous promise . * Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy , And teach me thy statutes ! * I am thy servant ; give me understanding , That I may know thine ordinances ! * It is time for thee , O LORD ! to act ; For men 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 ; I hate every false way . * Wonderful are thine ordinances ; Therefore do I observe them . * The communication of thy precepts giveth light ; It giveth understanding to the simple . * I open my mouth and pant : For I long for thy commandments . * Look thou upon me , and be gracious to me , As is just to those who love thy name ! * Establish my footsteps in thy word , And let no iniquity have dominion over me ! * Redeem me from the oppression of men , So will I keep thy precepts ! * Let thy face shine on thy servant , And teach me thy statutes ! * Rivers of water run down mine eyes , Because men keep not thy law . * Righteous art thou , O LORD ! And just are thy judgments ! * Just are the ordinances which thou hast ordained , And altogether righteous . * My zeal consumeth me , Because my enemies forget thy word . * Thy word is very pure , Therefore thy servant loveth it . * Of mean condition am I , and despised ; Yet do I not forget thy precepts . * Thy righteousness is everlasting righteousness , And thy law is truth . * Trouble and anguish have taken hold of me , But thy laws are my delight . * The justice of thine ordinances is everlasting ; Give me understanding , and I shall live ! * I cry to thee with my whole heart ; Hear me , O LORD ! that I may keep thy statutes . * I cry unto thee ; save me , And I will observe thine ordinances . * I come before the dawn with my prayer ; I trust in thy promise ! * My eyes anticipate the night –watches , That I may meditate upon thy promise . * Hear my voice according to thy loving –kindness ; O LORD ! revive me according to thy mercy ! * Near are they whose aim is mischief ; They are far from thy law ; * Yet thou art near , O LORD !
