DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹⁴ I am thine, save thou me: for I have sought thy justifications. ⁹⁵ The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I have understood thy testimonies. ⁹⁶ I have seen an end of all perfection: thy commandment is exceeding broad. ⁹⁷ O how have I loved thy law, O Lord! it is my meditation all the day. ⁹⁸ Through thy commandment, thou hast made me wiser than my enemies: for it is ever with me. ⁹⁹ I have understood more than all my teachers: because thy testimonies are my meditation. ¹⁰⁰ I have had understanding above ancients: because I have sought thy commandments. ¹⁰¹ I have restrained my feet from every evil way: that I may keep thy words. ¹⁰² I have not declined from thy judgments, because thou hast set me a law. ¹⁰³ How sweet are thy words to my palate! more than honey to my mouth. ¹⁰⁴ By thy commandments I have had understanding: therefore have I hated every way of iniquity. ¹⁰⁵ Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths. ¹⁰⁶ I have sworn and am determined to keep the judgments of thy justice. ¹⁰⁷ I have been humbled, O Lord, exceedingly: quicken thou me according to thy word. ¹⁰⁸ The free offerings of my mouth make acceptable, O Lord: and teach me thy judgments. ¹⁰⁹ My soul is continually in my hands: and I have not forgotten thy law. ¹¹⁰ Sinners have laid a snare for me: but I have not erred from thy precepts. ¹¹¹ I have purchased thy testimonies for an inheritance for ever: because they are the joy of my heart. ¹¹² I have inclined my heart to do thy justifications for ever, for the reward. ¹¹³ I have hated the unjust: and have loved thy law. ¹¹⁴ Thou art my helper and my protector: and in thy word I have greatly hoped. ¹¹⁵ Depart from me, ye malignant: and I will search the commandments of my God. ¹¹⁶ Uphold me according to thy word, and I shall live: and let me not be confounded in my expectation. ¹¹⁷ Help me, and I shall be saved: and I will meditate always on thy justifications. ¹¹⁸ Thou hast despised all them that fall off from thy judgments; for their thought is unjust. ¹¹⁹ I have accounted all the sinners of the earth prevaricators: therefore have I loved thy testimonies. ¹²⁰ Pierce thou my flesh with thy fear: for I am afraid of thy judgments. ¹²¹ I have done judgment and justice: give me not up to them that slander me. ¹²² Uphold thy servant unto good: let not the proud calumniate me. ¹²³ My eyes have fainted after thy salvation: and for the word of thy justice. ¹²⁴ Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy: and teach me thy justifications. ¹²⁵ I am thy servant: give me understanding that I may know thy testimonies. ¹²⁶ It is time, O Lord, to do: they have dissipated thy law. ¹²⁷ Therefore have I loved thy commandments above gold and the topaz. ¹²⁸ Therefore was I directed to all thy commandments: I have hated all wicked ways. ¹²⁹ Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore my soul hath sought them. ¹³⁰ The declaration of thy words giveth light: and giveth understanding to little ones. ¹³¹ I opened my mouth, and panted: because I longed for thy commandments. ¹³² Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me according to the judgment of them that love thy name. ¹³³ Direct my steps according to thy word: and let no iniquity have dominion over me. ¹³⁴ Redeem me from the calumnies of men: that I may keep thy commandments. ¹³⁵ Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: and teach me thy justifications. ¹³⁶ My eyes have sent forth springs of water: because they have not kept thy law. ¹³⁷ Thou art just, O Lord: and thy judgment is right. ¹³⁸ Thou hast commanded justice thy testimonies: and thy truth exceedingly. ¹³⁹ My zeal hath made me pine away: because my enemies forgot thy words. ¹⁴⁰ Thy word is exceedingly refined: and thy servant hath loved it. ¹⁴¹ I am very young and despised; but I forget not thy justifications. ¹⁴² Thy justice is justice for ever: and thy law is the truth. ¹⁴³ Trouble and anguish have found me: thy commandments are my meditation. ¹⁴⁴ Thy testimonies are justice for ever: give me understanding, and I shall live. ¹⁴⁵ I cried with my whole heart, hear me, O Lord: I will seek thy justifications. ¹⁴⁶ I cried unto thee, save me: that I may keep thy commandments. ¹⁴⁷ I prevented the dawning of the day, and cried: because in thy words I very much hoped. ¹⁴⁸ My eyes to thee have prevented the morning: that I might meditate on thy words. ¹⁴⁹ Hear thou my voice, O Lord, according to thy mercy: and quicken me according to thy judgment. ¹⁵⁰ They that persecute me have drawn nigh to iniquity; but they are gone far off from thy law. ¹⁵¹ Thou art near, O Lord: and all thy ways are truth. ¹⁵² I have known from the beginning concerning thy testimonies: that thou hast founded them for ever. ¹⁵³ See my humiliation and deliver me for I have not forgotten thy law. ¹⁵⁴ Judge my judgment and redeem me: quicken thou me for thy word's sake. ¹⁵⁵ Salvation is far from sinners; because they have not sought thy justifications. ¹⁵⁶ Many, O Lord, are thy mercies: quicken me according to thy judgment. ¹⁵⁷ Many are they that persecute me and afflict me; but I have not declined from thy testimonies. ¹⁵⁸ I beheld the transgressors, and pined away; because they kept not thy word. ¹⁵⁹ Behold I have loved thy commandments, O Lord; quicken me thou in thy mercy. ¹⁶⁰ The beginning of thy words is truth: all the judgments of thy justice are for ever. ¹⁶¹ Princes have persecuted me without cause: and my heart hath been in awe of thy words. ¹⁶² I will rejoice at thy words, as one that hath found great spoil. ¹⁶³ I have hated and abhorred iniquity; but I have loved thy law. ¹⁶⁴ Seven times a day I have given praise to thee, for the judgments of thy justice. ¹⁶⁵ Much peace have they that love thy law, and to them there is no stumbling. block. ¹⁶⁶ I looked for thy salvation, O Lord: and I loved thy commandments. ¹⁶⁷ My soul hath kept thy testimonies and hath loved them exceedingly. ¹⁶⁸ I have kept thy commandments and thy testimonies: because all my ways are in thy sight. ¹⁶⁹ Let my supplication, O Lord, come near in thy sight: give me understanding according to thy word. ¹⁷⁰ Let my request come in before thee; deliver thou me according to thy word. ¹⁷¹ My lips shall utter a hymn, when thou shalt teach me thy justifications. ¹⁷² My tongue shall pronounce thy word: because all thy commandments are justice. ¹⁷³ Let thy hand be with me to save me; for I have chosen thy precepts. ¹⁷⁴ I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord; and thy law is my meditation. ¹⁷⁵ My soul shall live and shall praise thee: and thy judgments shall help me. ¹⁷⁶ I have gone astray like a sheep that is lost: seek thy servant, because I have not forgotten thy commandments.
