My soul has slumbered for sorrow; strengthen thou me with thy words.

Guide me in the path of thy commandments; for I have delighted in it.

Take away my reproach which I have feared: for thy judgments are good.

And so I shall render an answer to them that reproach me: for I have trusted in thy words.

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.

I walked also at large: for I sought out thy commandments.

This has comforted me in mine affliction: for thine oracle has quickened me.

At midnight I arose, to give thanks to thee for the judgments of thy righteousness.

Teach me kindness, and instruction, and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.

It is good for me that thou hast afflicted me; that I might learn thine ordinances.

They that fear thee will see me and rejoice: for I have hoped in thy words.

Let thy compassions come to me, that I may live: for thy law is my meditation.

Let the proud be ashamed; for they transgressed against me unjustly: but I will meditate in thy commandments.

My soul faints for thy salvation: I have hoped in thy words.

Mine eyes failed in waiting for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?

For I am become as a bottle in the frost: yet I have not forgotten thine ordinances.

How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment for me on them that persecute me?

Thy word, O Lord, abides in heaven for ever.

The day continues by thy arrangement; for all things are thy servants.

I will never forget thine ordinances; for with them thou hast quickened me.
