| 56 | This I had, because I kept thy precepts. |
| 57 | Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words. |
| 58 | I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word. |
| 59 | I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. |
| 60 | I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. |
| 61 | The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law. |
| 62 | At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments. |
| 63 | I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts. |
| 64 | The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes. |
| 65 | Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word. |
| 66 | Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. |
| 67 | Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. |
| 68 | Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. |
| 69 | The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart. |
| 70 | Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law. |

| 78 | Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts. |
| 79 | Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies. |
| 80 | Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed. |
| 81 | My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word. |
| 82 | Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, 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 execute judgment on them that persecute me? |
| 85 | The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law. |
| 86 | All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. |
| 87 | They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts. |
| 88 | Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth. |
| 89 | For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. |
| 90 | Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. |
| 91 | They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants. |
| 92 | Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction. |
| 93 | I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me. |
| 94 | I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy precepts. |
| 95 | The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies. |
| 96 | I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad. |
| 97 | O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day. |
| 98 | Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. |
| 99 | I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. |

| 105 | Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. |
| 106 | I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. |
| 107 | I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word. |
| 108 | Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments. |
| 109 | My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. |
| 110 | The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts. |
| 111 | Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. |
| 112 | I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end. |
| 113 | I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. |

| 119 | Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. |
| 120 | My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. |
| 121 | I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors. |
| 122 | Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. |
| 123 | Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness. |
| 124 | Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. |
| 125 | I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. |
| 126 | It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law. |
| 127 | Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. |
| 128 | Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. |
| 129 | Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. |
| 130 | The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. |
| 131 | I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments. |
| 132 | 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 let not any iniquity have dominion over me. |
| 134 | Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. |
| 135 | Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. |
| 136 | Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law. |
| 137 | Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments. |
| 138 | Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful. |
| 139 | My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. |
| 140 | Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. |

| 143 | Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights. |
| 144 | The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. |
| 145 | I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes. |
| 146 | I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies. |
| 147 | I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. |
| 148 | Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word. |
| 149 | Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment. |

| 161 | Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. |
| 162 | I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. |
| 163 | I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. |
| 164 | Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments. |
