Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old
that thou hast founded them for ever.

They draw nigh that follow after mischief:
they are far from thy law.
Thou art near, O LORD;
and all thy commandments are truth.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Thy word is very pure:
therefore thy servant loveth it.
I am small and despised:
yet do not I forget thy precepts.

Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous
and very faithful.
My zeal hath consumed me,
because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.

Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.
