Mine eyes fail for thy word,
saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
For I am become like a bottle in the smoke;
yet do I not forget thy statutes.

My soul fainteth for thy salvation:
but I hope in thy word.

Let my heart be sound in thy statutes;
that I be not ashamed.

Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause:
but I will meditate in thy precepts.
Let those that fear thee turn unto me,
and those that have known thy testimonies.

Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort,
according to thy word unto thy servant.
Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live:
for thy law is my delight.

They that fear thee will be glad when they see me;
because I have hoped in thy word.
I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right,
and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.

Thy hands have made me and fashioned me:
give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted;
that I might learn thy statutes.
The law of thy mouth is better unto me
than thousands of gold and silver.

The proud have forged a lie against me:
but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
Their heart is as fat as grease;
but I delight in thy law.

Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
