Seeker Overlay ON

* Blessed are those whose way is blameless , who walk in the law of the LORD ! * Blessed are those who keep his testimonies , who seek him with their whole heart , * who also do no wrong , but walk in his ways ! * Thou hast commanded thy precepts to be kept diligently . * O that my ways may be steadfast in keeping thy statutes ! * Then I shall not be put to shame , having my eyes fixed on all thy commandments . * I will praise thee with an upright heart , when I learn thy righteous ordinances . * I will observe thy statutes ; O forsake me not utterly ! * How can a young man keep his way pure ? By guarding it according to thy word . * With my whole heart I seek thee ; let me not wander from thy commandments ! * I have laid up thy word in my heart , that I might not sin against thee . * Blessed be thou , O LORD ; teach me thy statutes ! * With my lips I declare all the ordinances of thy mouth . * In the way of thy testimonies I delight as much as in all riches . * I will meditate on thy precepts , and fix my eyes on thy ways . * I will delight in thy statutes ; I will not forget thy word . * Deal bountifully with thy servant , that I may live and observe thy word . * Open my eyes , that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law . * I am a sojourner on earth ; hide not thy commandments from me ! * My soul is consumed with longing for thy ordinances at all times . * Thou dost rebuke the insolent , accursed ones , who wander from thy commandments ; * take away from me their scorn and contempt , for I have kept thy testimonies . * Even though princes sit plotting against me , thy servant will meditate on thy statutes . * Thy testimonies are my delight , they are my counselors . * My soul cleaves to the dust ; revive me according to thy word ! * When I told of my ways , thou didst answer me ; teach me thy statutes ! * Make me understand the way of thy precepts , and I will meditate on thy wondrous works . * My soul melts away for sorrow ; strengthen me according to thy word ! * Put false ways far from me ; and graciously teach me thy law ! * I have chosen the way of faithfulness , I set thy ordinances before me . * I cleave to thy testimonies , O LORD ; let me not be put to shame ! * I will run in the way of thy commandments when thou enlargest my understanding ! * Teach me , O LORD , the way of thy statutes ; and I will keep it to the end . * Give me understanding , that I may keep thy law and observe it with my whole heart . * Lead me in the path of thy commandments , for I delight in it . * Incline my heart to thy testimonies , and not to gain ! * Turn my eyes from looking at vanities ; and give me life in thy ways . * Confirm to thy servant thy promise , which is for those who fear thee . * Turn away the reproach which I dread ; for thy ordinances are good . * Behold , I long for thy precepts ; in thy righteousness give me life ! * Let thy steadfast love come to me , O LORD , thy salvation according to thy promise ; * then shall I have an answer for those who taunt me , for I trust in thy word . * And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth , for my hope is in thy ordinances . * I will keep thy law continually , for ever and ever ; * and I shall walk at liberty , for I have sought thy precepts . * I will also speak of thy testimonies before kings , and shall not be put to shame ; * for I find my delight in thy commandments , which I love . * I revere thy commandments , which I love , and I will meditate on thy statutes . * Remember thy word to thy servant , in which thou hast made me hope . * This is my comfort in my affliction that thy promise gives me life . * Godless men utterly deride me , but I do not turn away from thy law . * When I think of thy ordinances from of old , I take comfort , O LORD . * Hot indignation seizes me because of the wicked , who forsake thy law . * Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage . * I remember thy name in the night , O LORD , and keep thy law . * This blessing has fallen to me , that I have kept thy precepts . * The LORD is my portion ; I promise to keep thy words . * I entreat thy favor with all my heart ; be gracious to me according to thy promise . * When I think of thy ways , I turn my feet to thy testimonies ; * I hasten and do not delay to keep thy commandments . * Though the cords of the wicked ensnare me , I do not forget thy law . * At midnight I rise to praise thee , because of thy righteous ordinances . * I am a companion of all who fear thee , of those who keep thy precepts . * The earth , O LORD , is full of thy steadfast love ; teach me thy statutes ! * Thou hast dealt well with thy servant , O LORD , according to thy word . * Teach me good judgment and knowledge , for I believe in thy commandments . * Before I was afflicted I went astray ; but now I keep thy word . * Thou art good and doest good ; teach me thy statutes . * The godless besmear me with lies , but with my whole heart I keep thy precepts ; * their heart is gross like fat , but I delight in thy law . * It is good for me that I was afflicted , that I might learn thy statutes . * The law of thy mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces . * Thy hands have made and fashioned me ; give me understanding that I may learn thy commandments . * Those who fear thee shall see me and rejoice , because I have hoped in thy word . * I know , O LORD , that thy judgments are right , and that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me . * Let thy steadfast love be ready to comfort me according to thy promise to thy servant . * Let thy mercy come to me , that I may live ; for thy law is my delight . * Let the godless be put to shame , because they have subverted me with guile ; as for me , I will meditate on thy precepts . * Let those who fear thee turn to me , that they may know thy testimonies . * May my heart be blameless in thy statutes , that I may not be put to shame ! * My soul languishes for thy salvation ; I hope in thy word . * My eyes fail with watching for thy promise ; I ask , "When wilt thou comfort me ?" * For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke , yet I have not forgotten thy statutes . * How long must thy servant endure ? When wilt thou judge those who persecute me ? * Godless men have dug pitfalls for me , men who do not conform to thy law . * All thy commandments are sure ; they persecute me with falsehood ; help me ! * They have almost made an end of me on earth ; but I have not forsaken thy precepts . * In thy steadfast love spare my life , that I may keep the testimonies of thy mouth . * For ever , O LORD , thy word is firmly fixed in the heavens . * Thy faithfulness endures to all generations ; thou hast established the earth , and it stands fast . * By thy appointment they stand this day ; for all things are thy servants . * If thy law had not been my delight , I should have perished in my affliction . * I will never forget thy precepts ; for by them thou hast given me life . * I am thine , save me ; for I have sought thy precepts . * The wicked lie in wait to destroy me ; but I consider thy testimonies . * I have seen a limit to all perfection , but thy commandment is exceedingly broad . * Oh , how I love thy law ! It is my meditation all the day . * Thy commandment makes me wiser than my enemies , for it is ever with me . * I have more understanding than all my teachers , for thy testimonies are my meditation . * I understand more than the aged , for I keep thy precepts . * I hold back my feet from every evil way , in order to keep thy word . * I do not turn aside from thy ordinances , for thou hast taught me . * How sweet are thy words to my taste , sweeter than honey to my mouth ! * Through thy precepts I get understanding ; therefore I hate every false way . * Thy word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path . * I have sworn an oath and confirmed it , to observe thy righteous ordinances . * I am sorely afflicted ; give me life , O LORD , according to thy word ! * Accept my offerings of praise , O LORD , and teach me thy ordinances . * I hold my life in my hand continually , but I do not forget thy law . * The wicked have laid a snare for me , but I do not stray from thy precepts . * Thy testimonies are my heritage for ever ; yea , they are the joy of my heart . * I incline my heart to perform thy statutes for ever , to the end . * I hate double-minded men , but I love thy law . * Thou art my hiding place and my shield ; I hope in thy word . * Depart from me , you evildoers , that I may keep the commandments of my God . * Uphold me according to thy promise , that I may live , and let me not be put to shame in my hope ! * Hold me up , that I may be safe and have regard for thy statutes continually ! * Thou dost spurn all who go astray from thy statutes ; yea , their cunning is in vain . * All the wicked of the earth thou dost count as dross ; therefore I love thy testimonies . * My flesh trembles for fear of thee , and I am afraid of thy judgments . * I have done what is just and right ; do not leave me to my oppressors . * Be surety for thy servant for good ; let not the godless oppress me . * My eyes fail with watching for thy salvation , and for the fulfilment of thy righteous promise . * Deal with thy servant according to thy steadfast love , and teach me thy statutes . * I am thy servant ; give me understanding , that I may know thy testimonies ! * It is time for the LORD to act , for thy law has been broken . * Therefore I love thy commandments above gold , above fine gold . * Therefore I direct my steps by all thy precepts ; I hate every false way . * Thy testimonies are wonderful ; therefore my soul keeps them . * The unfolding of thy words gives light ; it imparts understanding to the simple . * With open mouth I pant , because I long for thy commandments . * Turn to me and be gracious to me , as is thy wont toward those who love thy name . * Keep steady my steps according to thy promise , and let no iniquity get dominion over me . * Redeem me from man 's oppression , that I may keep thy precepts . * Make thy face shine upon thy servant , and teach me thy statutes . * My eyes shed streams of tears , because men do not keep thy law . * Righteous art thou , O LORD , and right are thy judgments . * Thou hast appointed thy testimonies in righteousness and in all faithfulness . * My zeal consumes me , because my foes forget thy words . * Thy promise is well tried , and thy servant loves it . * I am small and despised , yet I do not forget thy precepts . * Thy righteousness is righteous for ever , and thy law is true . * Trouble and anguish have come upon me , but thy commandments are my delight . * Thy testimonies are righteous for ever ; give me understanding that I may live . * With my whole heart I cry ; answer me , O LORD ! I will keep thy statutes . * I cry to thee ; save me , that I may observe thy testimonies . * I rise before dawn and cry for help ; I hope in thy words . * My eyes are awake before the watches of the night , that I may meditate upon thy promise . * Hear my voice in thy steadfast love ; O LORD , in thy justice preserve my life . * They draw near who persecute me with evil purpose ; they are far from thy law . * But thou art near , O LORD , and all thy commandments are true . * Long have I known from thy testimonies that thou hast founded them for ever . * Look on my affliction and deliver me , for I do not forget thy law . * Plead my cause and redeem me ; give me life according to thy promise ! * Salvation is far from the wicked , for they do not seek thy statutes . * Great is thy mercy , O LORD ; give me life according to thy justice . * Many are my persecutors and my adversaries , but I do not swerve from thy testimonies . * I look at the faithless with disgust , because they do not keep thy commands . * Consider how I love thy precepts ! Preserve my life according to thy steadfast love . * The sum of thy word is truth ; and every one of thy righteous ordinances endures for ever . * Princes persecute me without cause , but my heart stands in awe of thy words . * I rejoice at thy word like one who finds great spoil . * I hate and abhor falsehood , but I love thy law . * Seven times a day I praise thee for thy righteous ordinances . * Great peace have those who love thy law ; nothing can make them stumble . * I hope for thy salvation , O LORD , and I do thy commandments . * My soul keeps thy testimonies ; I love them exceedingly . * I keep thy precepts and testimonies , for all my ways are before thee . * Let my cry come before thee , O LORD ; give me understanding according to thy word ! * Let my supplication come before thee ; deliver me according to thy word . * My lips will pour forth praise that thou dost teach me thy statutes . * My tongue will sing of thy word , for all thy commandments are right . * Let thy hand be ready to help me , for I have chosen thy precepts . * I long for thy salvation , O LORD , and thy law is my delight . * Let me live , that I may praise thee , and let thy ordinances help me . * I have gone astray like a lost sheep ; seek thy servant , for I do not forget thy commandments .
