This is my comfort in my affliction:
for thy word hath quickened me.
The proud have had me greatly in derision:
yet have I not declined from thy law.

Remember the word unto thy servant,
upon which thou hast caused me to hope.

My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved;
and I will meditate in thy statutes.

I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings,
and will not be ashamed.
And I will delight myself in thy commandments,
which I have loved.

So shall I keep thy law
continually for ever and ever.
And I will walk at liberty:
for I seek thy precepts.

So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me:
for I trust in thy word.
And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth;
for I have hoped in thy judgments.

Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD,
even thy salvation, according to thy word.

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

Stablish thy word unto thy servant,
who is devoted to thy fear.
Turn away my reproach which I fear:
for thy judgments are good.

Incline my heart unto thy testimonies,
and not to covetousness.
Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity;
and quicken thou me in thy way.
