116 O stablish me according to thy word, that I may live: and let me not be disappointed of my hope.
117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: yea, my delight shall be ever in thy statutes.
118 Thou hast trodden down all them that depart from thy statutes: for they imagine but deceit.
119 Thou puttest away all the unG.o.dly of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.
120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee: and I am afraid of thy judgements.
_Feci judicium_.
I deal with the thing that is lawful and right: O give me not over unto mine oppressors.
122 Make thou thy servant to delight in that which is good: that the proud do me no wrong.
123 Mine eyes are wasted away with looking for thy health: and for the word of thy righteousness.
124 O deal with thy servant according unto thy loving mercy: and teach me thy statutes.
125 I am thy servant, O grant me understanding: that I may know thy testimonies.
126 It is time for thee, Lord, to lay to thine hand: for they have destroyed thy law.
127 For I love thy commandments: above gold and precious stone.
128 Therefore hold I straight all thy commandments: and all false ways I utterly abhor.
_Mirabilia_.
Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
130 When thy word goeth forth: it giveth light and understanding unto the simple.
131 I opened my mouth, and drew in my breath: for my delight was in thy commandments.
132 O look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me: as thou usest to do unto those that love thy Name.
133 Order my steps in thy word: and so shall no wickedness have dominion over me.
134 O deliver me from the wrongful dealings of men: and so shall I keep thy commandments.
135 Shew the light of thy countenance upon thy servant: and teach me thy statutes.
136 Mine eyes gush out with water: because men keep not thy law.
_Justus es, Domine_.
Righteous art thou, O Lord: and true is thy judgement.
138 The testimonies that thou hast commanded: are exceeding righteous and true.
139 My zeal hath even consumed me: because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.
140 Thy word is tried to the uttermost: and thy servant loveth it.
141 I am small, and of no reputation: yet do I not forget thy commandments.
142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness: and thy law is the truth.
143 Trouble and heaviness have taken hold upon me: yet is my delight in thy commandments.
144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: O grant me understanding, and I shall live.
DAY 26 EVENING PRAYER
_Clamavi in toto corde meo_.
I call with my whole heart: hear me, O Lord, I will keep thy statutes.
146 Yea, even unto thee do I call: help me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.
147 Early in the morning do I cry unto thee: for in thy word is my trust.
148 Mine eyes prevent the night-watches: that I might be occupied in thy words.
149 Hear my voice, O Lord, according unto thy loving-kindness: quicken me, according as thou art wont.
150 They draw nigh that of malice persecute me: and are far from thy law.
151 Be thou nigh at hand, O Lord: for all thy commandments are true.
152 As concerning thy testimonies, I have known long since: that thou hast grounded them for ever.
_Vide humilitatem_.
O consider mine adversity, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.
154 Avenge thou my cause, and deliver me: quicken me, according to thy word.
155 Health is far from the unG.o.dly: for they regard not thy statutes.
156 Great is thy mercy, O Lord: quicken me, as thou art wont.
157 Many there are that trouble me, and persecute me: yet do I not swerve from thy testimonies.
158 It grieveth me when I see the transgressors: because they keep not thy law.
159 Consider, O Lord, how I love thy commandments: O quicken me, according to thy loving-kindness.
