Teach me good judgment and knowledge:
for I have believed thy commandments.
Before I was afflicted I went astray:
but now have I kept thy word.

Thou hast dealt well with thy servant,
O LORD, according unto thy word.

The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy:
teach me thy statutes.

At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee
because of thy righteous judgments.
I am a companion of all them that fear thee,
and of them that keep thy precepts.

I made haste, and delayed not
to keep thy commandments.
The bands of the wicked have robbed me:
but I have not forgotten thy law.

I intreated thy favour with my whole heart:
be merciful unto me according to thy word.
I thought on my ways,
and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.

Thou art my portion, O LORD:
I have said that I would keep thy words.

This I had,
because I kept thy precepts.

Thy statutes have been my songs
in the house of my pilgrimage.
I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night,
and have kept thy law.

I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD;
and have comforted myself.
Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked
that forsake thy law.
