6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect to all your commandments.

7 I will praise you with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned your righteous judgments.

8 I will keep your statutes: O forsake me not utterly.

9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to your word.

10 With my whole heart have I sought you: O let me not wander from your commandments.

11 Your word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

12 Blessed are you, O LORD: teach me your statutes.

13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of your mouth.

14 I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies, as much as in all riches.

20 My soul breaks for the longing that it has to your judgments at all times.

21 You have rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from your commandments.

22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept your testimonies.

23 Princes also did sit and speak against me: but your servant did meditate in your statutes.

24 Your testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.

25 My soul sticks to the dust: quicken you me according to your word.

26 I have declared my ways, and you heard me: teach me your statutes.

27 Make me to understand the way of your precepts: so shall I talk of your wondrous works.

29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me your law graciously.

30 I have chosen the way of truth: your judgments have I laid before me.

31 I have stuck to your testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.

32 I will run the way of your commandments, when you shall enlarge my heart.

40 Behold, I have longed after your precepts: quicken me in your righteousness.

41 Let your mercies come also to me, O LORD, even your salvation, according to your word.

42 So shall I have with which to answer him that reproaches me: for I trust in your word.

43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in your judgments.

44 So shall I keep your law continually for ever and ever.

50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for your word has quickened me.

51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from your law.

52 I remembered your judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.

53 Horror has taken hold on me because of the wicked that forsake your law.

54 Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

55 I have remembered your name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept your law.

56 This I had, because I kept your precepts.

57 You are my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep your words.

58 I entreated your favor with my whole heart: be merciful to me according to your word.

59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet to your testimonies.

60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep your commandments.

61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten your law.

62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks to you because of your righteous judgments.

63 I am a companion of all them that fear you, and of them that keep your precepts.

70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in your law.

71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn your statutes.

72 The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver.

73 Your hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.

83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget your statutes.

84 How many are the days of your servant? when will you execute judgment on them that persecute me?

85 The proud have dig pits for me, which are not after your law.

86 All your commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help you me.

87 They had almost consumed me on earth; but I forsook not your precepts.

88 Quicken me after your loving kindness; so shall I keep the testimony of your mouth.

89 For ever, O LORD, your word is settled in heaven.

123 My eyes fail for your salvation, and for the word of your righteousness.

124 Deal with your servant according to your mercy, and teach me your statutes.

125 I am your servant; give me understanding, that I may know your testimonies.

126 It is time for you, LORD, to work: for they have made void your law.

127 Therefore I love your commandments above gold; yes, above fine gold.

128 Therefore I esteem all your precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.

129 Your testimonies are wonderful: therefore does my soul keep them.

130 The entrance of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.

131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for your commandments.

132 Look you on me, and be merciful to me, as you use to do to those that love your name.

133 Order my steps in your word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep your precepts.

143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet your commandments are my delights.

144 The righteousness of your testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.

145 I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep your statutes.

147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in your word.

148 My eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in your word.

149 Hear my voice according to your loving kindness: O LORD, quicken me according to your judgment.
