15 The voice of joy and health is in the dwellings of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord bringeth mighty things to pa.s.s,
16 The right hand of the Lord hath the pre-eminence: the right hand of the Lord bringeth mighty things to pa.s.s.

20 This is the gate of the Lord: the righteous shall enter into it.
21 I will thank thee, for thou hast heard me: and art become my salvation.

25 Help me now, O Lord: O Lord, send us now prosperity.
26 Blessed be he that cometh in the Name of the Lord: we have wished you good luck, ye that are of the house of the Lord.
27 G.o.d is the Lord who hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, yea, even unto the horns of the altar.
28 Thou art my G.o.d, and I will thank thee: thou art my G.o.d, and I will praise thee.
29 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious: and his mercy endureth for ever.

PSALM 119. _Beati immaculati_.
Blessed are those that are undefiled in the way: and walk in the law of the Lord.
2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies: and seek him with their whole heart.
3 For they who do no wickedness: walk in his ways.
4 Thou hast charged: that we shall diligently keep thy commandments.
5 O that my ways were made so direct: that I might keep thy statutes!
6 So shall I not be confounded: while I have respect unto all thy commandments.
7 I will thank thee with an unfeigned heart: when I shall have learned the judgements of thy righteousness.
8 I will keep thy ceremonies: O forsake me not utterly.
_In quo corrigit?_
Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way: even by ruling himself after thy word.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: let me not go wrong out of thy commandments.
11 Thy words have I hid within my heart: that I should not sin against thee.
12 Blessed art thou, O Lord: O teach me thy statutes.
13 With my lips have I been telling: of all the judgements of thy mouth.
14 I have had as great delight in the way of thy testimonies: as in all manner of riches.
15 I will talk of thy commandments: and have respect unto thy ways.
16 My delight shall be in thy statutes: and I will not forget thy word.
_Retribue servo tuo_.
O do well unto thy servant: that I may live, and keep thy word.
18 Open thou mine eyes: that I may see the wondrous things of thy law.
19 I am a stranger upon earth: O hide not thy commandments from me.
20 My soul breaketh out for the very fervent desire: that it hath alway unto thy judgements.
21 Thou hast rebuked the proud: and cursed are they that do err from thy commandments.
22 O turn from me shame and rebuke: for I have kept thy testimonies.
23 Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant is occupied in thy statutes.
24 For thy testimonies are my delight: and my counsellors.
_Adhaesit pavimento_.
My soul cleaveth to the dust: O quicken thou me, according to thy word.
26 I have acknowledged my ways, and thou heardest me: O teach me thy statutes.
27 Make me to understand the way of thy commandments: and so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
28 My soul melteth away for very heaviness: comfort thou me according unto thy word.
29 Take from me the way of lying: and cause thou me to make much of thy law.
