For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; [yet] I do not forget thy statutes.

I [am] thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.

I am afflicted very much: revive me, O LORD, according to thy word.

My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.

I [am] thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.

I [am] small and despised: [yet] I do not forget thy precepts.

I [am] for peace: but when I speak, they [are] for war.

I will praise thee: for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made: wonderful [are] thy works; and [that] my soul well knoweth.

[If] I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

Counsel [is] mine, and sound wisdom: I [am] understanding; I have strength.

Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I [am] sick with love.
