Seeker Overlay ON

* Blessed are the undefiled in the way , Who walk in the law of the LORD ! * Blessed are those who keep His testimonies , Who seek Him with the whole heart ! * They also do no iniquity ; They walk in His ways . * You have commanded us To keep Your precepts diligently . * Oh , that my ways were directed To keep Your statutes ! * Then I would not be ashamed , When I look into all Your commandments . * I will praise You with uprightness of heart , When I learn Your righteous judgments . * I will keep Your statutes ; Oh , do not forsake me utterly ! * How can a young man cleanse his way ? By taking heed according to Your word . * With my whole heart I have sought You ; Oh , let me not wander from Your commandments ! * Your word I have hidden in my heart , That I might not sin against You . * Blessed are You , O LORD ! Teach me Your statutes . * With my lips I have declared All the judgments of Your mouth . * I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies , As much as in all riches . * I will meditate on Your precepts , And contemplate Your ways . * I will delight myself in Your statutes ; I will not forget Your word . * Deal bountifully with Your servant , That I may live and keep Your word . * Open my eyes , that I may see Wondrous things from Your law . * I am a stranger in the earth ; Do not hide Your commandments from me . * My soul breaks with longing For Your judgments at all times . * You rebuke the proud--the cursed , Who stray from Your commandments . * Remove from me reproach and contempt , For I have kept Your testimonies . * Princes also sit and speak against me , But Your servant meditates on Your statutes . * Your testimonies also are my delight And my counselors . * My soul clings to the dust ; Revive me according to Your word . * I have declared my ways , and You answered me ; Teach me Your statutes . * Make me understand the way of Your precepts ; So shall I meditate on Your wonderful works . * My soul melts from heaviness ; Strengthen me according to Your word . * Remove from me the way of lying , And grant me Your law graciously . * I have chosen the way of truth ; Your judgments I have laid before me . * I cling to Your testimonies ; O LORD , do not put me to shame ! * I will run the course of Your commandments , For You shall enlarge my heart . * Teach me , O LORD , the way of Your statutes , And I shall keep it to the end . * Give me understanding , and I shall keep Your law ; Indeed , I shall observe it with my whole heart . * Make me walk in the path of Your commandments , For I delight in it . * Incline my heart to Your testimonies , And not to covetousness . * Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things , And revive me in Your way . * Establish Your word to Your servant , Who is devoted to fearing You . * Turn away my reproach which I dread , For Your judgments are good . * Behold , I long for Your precepts ; Revive me in Your righteousness . * Let Your mercies come also to me , O LORD -- Your salvation according to Your word . * So shall I have an answer for him who reproaches me , For I trust in Your word . * And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth , For I have hoped in Your ordinances . * So shall I keep Your law continually , Forever and ever . * And I will walk at liberty , For I seek Your precepts . * I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings , And will not be ashamed . * And I will delight myself in Your commandments , Which I love . * My hands also I will lift up to Your commandments , Which I love , And I will meditate on Your statutes . * Remember the word to Your servant , Upon which You have caused me to hope . * This is my comfort in my affliction , For Your word has given me life . * The proud have me in great derision , Yet I do not turn aside from Your law . * I remembered Your judgments of old , O LORD , And have comforted myself . * Indignation has taken hold of me Because of the wicked , who forsake Your law . * Your statutes have been my songs In the house of my pilgrimage . * I remember Your name in the night , O LORD , And I keep Your law . * This has become mine , Because I kept Your precepts . * You are my portion , O LORD ; I have said that I would keep Your words . * I entreated Your favor with my whole heart ; Be merciful to me according to Your word . * I thought about my ways , And turned my feet to Your testimonies . * I made haste , and did not delay To keep Your commandments . * The cords of the wicked have bound me , But I have not forgotten Your law . * At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You , Because of Your righteous judgments . * I am a companion of all who fear You , And of those who keep Your precepts . * The earth , O LORD , is full of Your mercy ; Teach me Your statutes . * You have dealt well with Your servant , O LORD , according to Your word . * Teach me good judgment and knowledge , For I believe Your commandments . * Before I was afflicted I went astray , But now I keep Your word . * You are good , and do good ; Teach me Your statutes . * The proud have forged a lie against me , But I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart . * Their heart is as fat as grease , But I delight in Your law . * It is good for me that I have been afflicted , That I may learn Your statutes . * The law of Your mouth is better to me Than thousands of coins of gold and silver . * Your hands have made me and fashioned me ; Give me understanding , that I may learn Your commandments . * Those who fear You will be glad when they see me , Because I have hoped in Your word . * I know , O LORD , that Your judgments are right , And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me . * Let , I pray , Your merciful kindness be for my comfort , According to Your word to Your servant . * Let Your tender mercies come to me , that I may live ; For Your law is my delight . * Let the proud be ashamed , For they treated me wrongfully with falsehood ; But I will meditate on Your precepts . * Let those who fear You turn to me , Those who know Your testimonies . * Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes , That I may not be ashamed . * My soul faints for Your salvation , But I hope in Your word . * My eyes fail from searching Your word , Saying , "When will You comfort me ?" * For I have become like a wineskin in smoke , Yet I do not forget Your statutes . * How many are the days of Your servant ? When will You execute judgment on those who persecute me ? * The proud have dug pits for me , Which is not according to Your law . * All Your commandments are faithful ; They persecute me wrongfully ; Help me ! * They almost made an end of me on earth , But I did not forsake Your precepts . * Revive me according to Your lovingkindness , So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth . * Forever , O LORD , Your word is settled in heaven . * Your faithfulness endures to all generations ; You established the earth , and it abides . * They continue this day according to Your ordinances , For all are Your servants . * Unless Your law had been my delight , I would then have perished in my affliction . * I will never forget Your precepts , For by them You have given me life . * I am Yours , save me ; For I have sought Your precepts . * The wicked wait for me to destroy me , But I will consider Your testimonies . * I have seen the consummation of all perfection , But Your commandment is exceedingly broad . * Oh , how I love Your law ! It is my meditation all the day . * You , through Your commandments , make me wiser than my enemies ; For they are ever with me . * I have more understanding than all my teachers , For Your testimonies are my meditation . * I understand more than the ancients , Because I keep Your precepts . * I have restrained my feet from every evil way , That I may keep Your word . * I have not departed from Your judgments , For You Yourself have taught me . * How sweet are Your words to my taste , Sweeter than honey to my mouth ! * Through Your precepts I get understanding ; Therefore I hate every false way . * Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path . * I have sworn and confirmed That I will keep Your righteous judgments . * I am afflicted very much ; Revive me , O LORD , according to Your word . * Accept , I pray , the freewill offerings of my mouth , O LORD , And teach me Your judgments . * My life is continually in my hand , Yet I do not forget Your law . * The wicked have laid a snare for me , Yet I have not strayed from Your precepts . * Your testimonies I have taken as a heritage forever , For they are the rejoicing of my heart . * I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes Forever , to the very end . * I hate the double-minded , But I love Your law . * You are my hiding place and my shield ; I hope in Your word . * Depart from me , you evildoers , For I will keep the commandments of my God ! * Uphold me according to Your word , that I may live ; And do not let me be ashamed of my hope . * Hold me up , and I shall be safe , And I shall observe Your statutes continually . * You reject all those who stray from Your statutes , For their deceit is falsehood . * You put away all the wicked of the earth like dross ; Therefore I love Your testimonies . * My flesh trembles for fear of You , And I am afraid of Your judgments . * I have done justice and righteousness ; Do not leave me to my oppressors . * Be surety for Your servant for good ; Do not let the proud oppress me . * My eyes fail from seeking Your salvation And Your righteous word . * Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy , And teach me Your statutes . * I am Your servant ; Give me understanding , That I may know Your testimonies . * It is time for You to act , O LORD , For they have regarded Your law as void . * Therefore I love Your commandments More than gold , yes , than fine gold ! * Therefore all Your precepts concerning all things I consider to be right ; I hate every false way . * Your testimonies are wonderful ; Therefore my soul keeps them . * The entrance of Your words gives light ; It gives understanding to the simple . * I opened my mouth and panted , For I longed for Your commandments . * Look upon me and be merciful to me , As Your custom is toward those who love Your name . * Direct my steps by Your word , And let no iniquity have dominion over me . * Redeem me from the oppression of man , That I may keep Your precepts . * Make Your face shine upon Your servant , And teach me Your statutes . * Rivers of water run down from my eyes , Because men do not keep Your law . * Righteous are You , O LORD , And upright are Your judgments . * Your testimonies , which You have commanded , Are righteous and very faithful . * My zeal has consumed me , Because my enemies have forgotten Your words . * Your word is very pure ; Therefore Your servant loves it . * I am small and despised , Yet I do not forget Your precepts . * Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness , And Your law is truth . * Trouble and anguish have overtaken me , Yet Your commandments are my delights . * The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting ; Give me understanding , and I shall live . * I cry out with my whole heart ; Hear me , O LORD !
