Psalm 119. XIV, XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII.

XIV. Lucerna pedibus meis.

105. THY word is a lantern unto my feet, *
     and a light unto my paths.
106. I have sworn, and am stedfastly purposed, *
     to keep thy righteous judgments.
107. I am troubled above measure: *
     quicken me, O Lord, according to thy word.
108. Let the free-will offerings of my mouth please thee, O Lord; *
     and teach me thy judgments.
109. My soul is alway in my hand; *
     yet do I not forget thy law.
110. The ungodly have laid a snare for me; *
     but yet I swerved not from thy commandments.
111. Thy testimonies have I claimed as mine heritage for ever; *
     and why? they are the very joy of my heart.
112. I have applied my heart to fulfil thy statutes alway, *
     even unto the end.

XV. Iniquos odio habui.

113. I HATE them that imagine evil things; *
     but thy law do I love.
114. Thou art my defence and shield; *
     and my trust is in thy word.
115. Away from me, ye wicked; *
     I will keep the commandments of my God.
116. O stablish me according to thy word, that I may live; *
     and let me not be disappointed of my hope.
117. Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe; *
     yea, my delight shall be ever in thy statutes.
118. Thou hast trodden down all them that depart from thy statutes; *
     for they imagine but deceit.
119. Thou puttest away all the ungodly of the earth like dross; *
     therefore I love thy testimonies.
120. My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; *
     and I am afraid of thy judgments.

XVI. Feci judicium.

121. I DEAL with the thing that is lawful and right; *
     O give me not over unto mine oppressors.
122. Make thou thy servant to delight in that which is good, *
     that the proud do me no wrong.
123. Mine eyes are wasted away with looking for thy health, *
     and for the word of thy righteousness.
124. O deal with thy servant according unto thy loving mercy, *
     and teach me thy statutes.
125. I am thy servant; O grant me understanding, *
     that I may know thy testimonies.
126. It is time for thee, Lord, to lay to thine hand; *
     for they have destroyed thy law.
127. For I love thy commandments *
     above gold and precious stones.
128. Therefore hold I straight all thy commandments; *
     and all false ways I utterly abhor.

XVII. Mirabilia.

129. vTHY testimonies are wonderful; *
     therefore doth my soul keep them.
130. When thy word goeth forth, *
     it giveth light and understanding unto the simple.
131. I opened my mouth, and drew in my breath; *
     for my delight was in thy commandments.
132. O look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, *
     as thou usest to do unto those that love thy Name.
133. Order my steps in thy word; *
     and so shall no wickedness have dominion over me.
134. O deliver me from the wrongful dealings of men; *
     and so shall I keep thy commandments.
135. Show the light of thy countenance upon thy servant, *
     and teach me thy statutes.
136. Mine eyes gush out with water, *
     because men keep not thy law.

XVIII. Justus es, Domine.

137. RIGHTEOUS art thou, O Lord; *
     and true are thy judgments.
138. The testimonies that thou hast commanded *
     are exceeding righteous and true.
139. My zeal hath even consumed me; *
     because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.
140. Thy word is tried to the uttermost, *
     and thy servant loveth it.
141. I am small and of no reputation; *
     yet do I not forget thy commandments.
142. Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, *
     and thy law is the truth.
143. Trouble and heaviness have taken hold upon me; *
     yet is my delight in thy commandments.
144. The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: *
     O grant me understanding, and I shall live.
