| 41 | Let thy steadfast love come to me, O LORD, thy salvation according to thy promise; |
| 42 | then shall I have an answer for those who taunt me, for I trust in thy word. |
| 43 | And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for my hope is in thy ordinances. |
| 44 | I will keep thy law continually, for ever and ever; |
| 45 | and I shall walk at liberty, for I have sought thy precepts. |
| 46 | I will also speak of thy testimonies before kings, and shall not be put to shame; |
| 47 | for I find my delight in thy commandments, which I love. |
| 48 | I revere thy commandments, which I love, and I will meditate on thy statutes. |
| 49 | Remember thy word to thy servant, in which thou hast made me hope. |
| 50 | This is my comfort in my affliction that thy promise gives me life. |
| 51 | Godless men utterly deride me, but I do not turn away from thy law. |
| 52 | When I think of thy ordinances from of old, I take comfort, O LORD. |
| 53 | Hot indignation seizes me because of the wicked, who forsake thy law. |
| 54 | Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. |
| 55 | I remember thy name in the night, O LORD, and keep thy law. |
| 56 | This blessing has fallen to me, that I have kept thy precepts. |
| 57 | The LORD is my portion; I promise to keep thy words. |
| 58 | I entreat thy favor with all my heart; be gracious to me according to thy promise. |
| 59 | When I think of thy ways, I turn my feet to thy testimonies; |
| 60 | I hasten and do not delay to keep thy commandments. |
| 61 | Though the cords of the wicked ensnare me, I do not forget thy law. |
| 62 | At midnight I rise to praise thee, because of thy righteous ordinances. |
| 63 | I am a companion of all who fear thee, of those who keep thy precepts. |
| 64 | The earth, O LORD, is full of thy steadfast love; teach me thy statutes! |
| 65 | Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according to thy word. |
| 66 | Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in thy commandments. |
| 67 | Before I was afflicted I went astray; but now I keep thy word. |
| 68 | Thou art good and doest good; teach me thy statutes. |
| 69 | The godless besmear me with lies, but with my whole heart I keep thy precepts; |
| 70 | their heart is gross like fat, but I delight in thy law. |
| 71 | It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes. |
| 72 | The law of thy mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces. |
| 73 | Thy hands have made and fashioned me; give me understanding that I may learn thy commandments. |
| 74 | Those who fear thee shall see me and rejoice, because I have hoped in thy word. |
| 75 | I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me. |
| 76 | Let thy steadfast love be ready to comfort me according to thy promise to thy servant. |
| 77 | Let thy mercy come to me, that I may live; for thy law is my delight. |
| 78 | Let the godless be put to shame, because they have subverted me with guile; as for me, I will meditate on thy precepts. |
| 79 | Let those who fear thee turn to me, that they may know thy testimonies. |
| 80 | May my heart be blameless in thy statutes, that I may not be put to shame! |
