Psalms 119:161-176
Princes have persecuted
me without a cause:
but my heart standeth
in awe of thy word.
I rejoice at thy word,
as one that findeth
great spoil.
I hate and abhor lying:
but thy law do I love.
Seven times a day
do I praise thee
because of thy
righteous judgments.
Great peace have they
which love thy law:
and nothing shall offend them.
LORD, I have hoped
for thy salvation,
and done thy commandments.
My soul hath kept
thy testimonies; and I love
them exceedingly.
I have kept thy precepts
and thy testimonies:
for all my ways are before thee.
Let my cry come near
before thee, O LORD:
give me understanding
according to thy word.
Let my supplication come
before thee: deliver me
according to thy word.
My lips shall utter praise,
when thou hast taught me
thy statutes.
My tongue shall speak
of thy word:
for all thy commandments
are righteousness.
Let thine hand help me;
for I have chosen thy precepts.
I have longed for
thy salvation, O LORD;
and thy law is my delight.
Let my soul live,
and it shall praise thee;
and let thy judgments
help me.
I have gone astray
like a lost sheep;
seek thy servant;
for I do not forget
thy commandments.
