From the oppression of the proud
Do thou deliver me.

123 Mine eyes do fail with looking long
For thy salvation,

The word of thy pure righteousness
While I do wait upon.

124 In mercy with thy servant deal,
Thy laws me teach and show.

125 I am thy servant, wisdom give, That I thy laws may know.

126 'Tis time thou work, Lord: for they have Made void thy law divine.

127 Therefore thy precepts more I love Than gold, yea, gold most fine.

128 Concerning all things thy commands
All right I judge therefore;

And ev'ry false and wicked way
I perfectly abhor.

PE. The 17th Part.

129 Thy statutes, Lord, are wonderful, My soul them keeps with care.

130 The entrance of thy words gives light, Makes wise who simple are.

131 My mouth I have wide opened,
And panted earnestly,

While after thy commandements
I long'd exceedingly.

132 Look on me, Lord, and merciful
Do thou unto me prove,
As thou art wont to do to those
Thy name who truly love.

133 0 let my footsteps in thy word
Aright still order'd be;

Let no iniquity obtain

Dominion over me.

134 From man's oppression save thou me; So keep thy laws I will.

135 Thy face make on thy servant shine; Teach me thy statutes still.

136 Rivers of waters from mine eyes
Did run down, when I saw
How wicked men run on in sin
And do not keep thy law.

TSADDI. The 18th Part.

137 O Lord, thou art most righteous: Thy judgments are upright. 138 Thy testimonies thou command'st Most faithful are and right,

139 My zeal hath ev'n consumed me,
Because mine enemies

Thy holy words forgotten have,
And do thy laws despise.

140 Thy word's most pure, therefore on it Thy servant's love is set.

141 Small, and despis'd I am, yet I Thy precepts not forget.

142 Thy righteousness is righteousness
Which ever doth endure:

Thy holy law, Lord, also is
The very truth most pure.

143 Trouble and anguish have me found, And taken hold on me:

Yet in my trouble my delight
Thy just commandments be.

144 Eternal righteousness is in
Thy testimonies all:

Lord, to me understanding give,
And ever live I shall.

[blocks in formation]

145 With my whole heart I cry'd, Lord, hear;
I will thy word obey.
146 I cry'd to thee; save me, and I
Will keep thy laws alway.

147 I of the morning did prevent
The dawning, and did cry:
For all mine expectation
Did on thy word rely.

148 Mine eyes did timeously prevent
The watches of the night,

That in thy word with careful mind
Then meditate I might.

149 After thy loving-kindness hear
My voice, that calls on thee;
According to thy judgment, Lord,
Revive and quicken me.

150 Who follow mischief they draw nigh;
They from thy law are far:

151 But thou art near, Lord; most firm truth All thy commandments are

152 As for thy testimonies all,

Of old this have I try'd,

That thou hast surely founded them
For ever to abide.

RESH. The 20th Part.

153 Consider mine affliction,

In safety do me set:

Deliver me, O Lord, for I

Thy law do not forget.

154 After thy word revive thou me; Save me, and plead my cause.

155 Salvation is from sinners far; For they seek not thy laws.

156 O Lord, both great and manifold Thy tender mercies be:

According to thy judgments just,
Revive and quicken me.

157 My persecutors many are,

And foes that do combine;
Yet from thy testimonies pure
My heart doth not decline.

158 I saw transgressors, and was griev'd ;
For they keep not thy word.
159 See how I love thy law! as thou
Art kind, me quicken, Lord.
160 From the beginning all thy word
Hath been most true and sure;
Thy righteous judgments ev'ry one
For evermore endure.

SCHIN. The 21st Part.

161 Princes have persecuted me, Although no cause they saw : But still of thy most holy word My heart doth stand in awe. 162 I at thy word rejoice, as one

Of spoil that finds great store.
163 Thy law I love; but lying all
I hate and do abhor.

164 Sev'n times a-day it is my care
To give due praise to thee;
Because of all thy judgments, Lord,
Which righteous ever be.

165 Great peace have they who love thy law; Offence they shall have none.

166 I hop'd for thy salvation, Lord, And thy commands have done.

167 My soul thy testimonies pure
Observed carefully;

On them my heart is set, and them
I love exceedingly.

168 Thy testimonies and thy laws
I kept with special care;
For all my works and ways
Before thee open are.

TAU. The 22d Part.

169 O let my earnest pray'r and cry
Come near before thee, Lord :
Give understanding unto me,
According to thy word.

170 Let my request before thee come :
After thy word me free.

171 My lips shall utter praise, when thou
Hast taught thy laws to me.

172 My tongue of thy most blessed word
Shall speak, and it confess;
Because all thy commandements
Are perfect righteousness.

173 Let thy strong hand make help to me:
Thy precepts are my choice.

174 I long'd for thy salvation, Lord, And in thy law rejoice.

175 O let my soul live, and it shall
Give praises unto thee;

And let thy judgments gracious
Be helpful unto me.

176 I, like a lost sheep, went astray;
Thy servant seek, and find:
For thy commands I suffer'd not
To slip out of my mind.
