Rh I will meditate on Thy commandments: and I will consider Thy ways.

I will think upon Thine ordinances: I will not forget Thy words.

Glory be to the Father, etc.

EAL bountifully with Thy servant: quicken Thou me, and I shall keep Thy words.

Open Thou mine eyes: and I shall see the wondrous things of Thy law.

I am a sojourner upon earth: O hide not Thy commandments from me.

My soul hath longed greatly: to desire Thine ordinances at all times.

Thou hast rebuked the proud: cursed are they that do err from Thy commandments.

O take from me shame and contempt: for I have sought after Thy testimonies.

Princes also did sit and speak against me: but Thy servant was occupied in Thy statutes.

For Thy testimonies are my meditation: and Thine ordinances are my counsel.

My soul hath cleaved to the earth: O quicken Thou me according to Thy word.

I have declared my ways, and Thou heardest me: teach me Thy statutes.

Make me to understand the way of Thine ordinances: and I will meditate on Thy wondrous works.

My soul hath slumbered through weariness: strengthen Thou me in Thy words.

Remove from me the way of iniquity: and have mercy on me in Thy law.
