*Psalm 119

*****
130

The entrance of THY words giveth LIGHT; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

 

 

***** 
131-136

I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for THY commandments. Look THOU upon me, and be merciful unto me, as THOU usest to do unto those that love THY name.
 
Order my steps in THY word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
 
Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep THY precepts. Make thy face to shine upon THY servant; and teach me THY statutes.
 
Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not THY law. 

*****

137-152

Righteous art THOU, O Lord, and upright are THY judgments. THY testimonies that THOU hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.
 
My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten THY words.
 
THY word is very pure: therefore THY servant loveth it. 

I am small and despised: yet do not I forget THY precepts.
 
THY righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and THY law is the truth.
 
Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet THY commandments are my delights.
 
The righteousness of THY testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.
 

I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord: I will keep THY statutes. I cried unto THEE; save me, and I shall keep THY testimonies. I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried:

I hoped in THY word. 

Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in THY word. Hear my voice according unto THY lovingkindness: O Lord, quicken me according to THY judgment.
 
They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from THY law.
 
THOU art near, O Lord; and all THY commandments are truth.
 
Concerning THY testimonies, I have known of old that THOU hast founded them for ever.
