Rh For Thou hast delivered me out of all my trouble: and mine eye hath looked down upon mine enemies.

Glory be to the Father, etc.

LESSED are the undefiled in the way: who walk in the law of the Lord.

Blessed are they that search His testimonies: that seek Him with their whole heart.

For they that work iniquity: have not walked in His ways.

Thou hast commanded that Thy commandments be kept most diligently.

O that my ways may be so directed: that I may keep Thine ordinances.

Then shall I not be confounded: when I shall have regard to all Thy commandments.

I will praise Thee with uprightness of heart: when I shall have learned the judgments of Thy justice.

I will keep Thine ordinances: O forsake me not utterly.

By what doth a young man correct his way? even by keeping Thy words.

With my whole heart have I sought after Thee: let me not stray from Thy commandments.

Thy words have I hidden within my heart: that I may not sin against Thee.

Blessed art Thou, O Lord: O teach me Thine ordinances.

With my lips have I declared: all the judgments of Thy mouth.

I have had delight in the way of Thy testimonies: even as in all riches.
