_Ma.n.u.s tuae fecerunt me_.
Thy hands have made me and fas.h.i.+oned me: O give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me: because I have put my trust in thy word.
75 I know, O Lord, that thy judgements are right: and that thou of very faithfulness hast caused me to be troubled.
76 O let thy merciful kindness be my comfort: according to thy word unto thy servant.
77 O let thy loving mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
78 Let the proud be confounded, for they go wickedly about to destroy me: but I will be occupied in thy commandments.
79 Let such as fear thee, and have known thy testimonies: be turned unto me.
80 O let my heart be sound in thy statutes: that I be not ashamed.
_Defecit anima mea_.
My soul hath longed for thy salvation: and I have a good hope because of thy word.
82 Mine eyes long sore for thy word: saying, O when wilt thou comfort me?
83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke: yet do I not forget thy statutes.
84 How many are the days of thy servant: when wilt thou be avenged of them that persecute me?
85 The proud have digged pits for me: which are not after thy law.
86 All thy commandments are true: they persecute me falsely; O be thou my help.
87 They had almost made an end of me upon earth: but I forsook not thy commandments.
88 O quicken me after thy loving-kindness: and so shall I keep the testimonies of thy mouth.
_In aeternum, Domine_.
O Lord, thy word: endureth for ever in heaven.
90 Thy truth also remaineth from one generation to another: thou hast laid the foundation of the earth, and it abideth.
91 They continue this day according to thine ordinance: for all things serve thee.
92 If my delight had not been in thy law: I should have perished in my trouble.
93 I will never forget thy commandments: for with them thou hast quickened me.
94 I am thine, O save me: for I have sought thy commandments.
95 The unG.o.dly laid wait for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.
96 I see that all things come to an end: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.
_Quomodo dilexi!_
Lord, what love have I unto thy law: all the day long is my study in it.
98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than my teachers: for thy testimonies are my study.
100 I am wiser than the aged: because I keep thy commandments.
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way: that I may keep thy word.
102 I have not shrunk from thy judgements: for thou teachest me.
103 O how sweet are thy words unto my throat: yea, sweeter than honey unto my mouth.
104 Through thy commandments I get understanding: therefore I hate all evil ways.
DAY 26 MORNING PRAYER
_Lucerna pedibus meis_.
Thy word is a lantern unto my feet: and a light unto my paths.
106 I have sworn, and am stedfastly purposed: to keep thy righteous judgements.
107 I am troubled above measure: quicken me, O Lord, according to thy word.
108 Let the free-will offerings of my mouth please thee, O Lord: and teach me thy judgements.
109 My soul is alway in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.
110 The unG.o.dly have laid a snare for me: but yet I swerved not from thy commandments.
111 Thy testimonies have I claimed as mine heritage for ever: and why? they are the very joy of my heart.
112 I have applied my heart to fulfil thy statutes alway: even unto the end.
Iniquos odio habui.
I hate them that imagine evil things: but thy law do I love.
114 Thou art my defence and s.h.i.+eld: and my trust is in thy word.
115 Away from me, ye wicked: I will keep the commandments of my G.o.d.
