Psa 119:50 (119:2) That same is my comfort in my affliction: for thy worde maketh me to lyue. Psa 119:51 (119:3) The proude haue had me exceedingly in derision: yet I haue not shrinked from thy lawe. Psa 119:52 (119:4) [For] I called to remembraunce thy iudgementes from the begynnyng of the worlde O God: and so I comforted my selfe. Psa 119:53 (119:5) An extreme vnnaturall heat hath assayled me, because of the vngodly: who transgresse thy lawe. Psa 119:54 (119:6) Thy statutes haue ben [my] songes: in the house of my pilgrimages. Psa 119:55 (119:7) I haue thought vpon thy name O God in the nyght season: and I haue kept thy lawe. Psa 119:56 (119:8) This came to passe for me: because I kept thy commaundementes. Psa 119:57 <Heth> (119:1) Thou art my portion O God: I haue purposed to kepe thy lawe. Psa 119:58 (119:2) I made myne humble petition to thy face with my whole heart: be mercifull vnto me according vnto thy word. Psa 119:59 (119:3) I haue considered mine owne wayes: and I haue turned my feete vnto thy testimonies. Psa 119:60 (119:4) I made haste and I made no delay: for to kepe thy commaundementes. Psa 119:61 (119:5) The vngodly haue tangled me in their snares: but I haue not forgotten thy lawe. Psa 119:62 (119:6) I wyll ryse at midnight to confesse me vnto thee: because of thy ryghteous iudgementes. Psa 119:63 (119:7) I am a companion of all them that feare thee: and kepe thy commaundementes. Psa 119:64 (119:8) The earth O God is replenished with thy louyng kyndnesse: O teache me thy statutes. Psa 119:65 <Teth> (119:1) O God thou hast dealt gratiouslye with thy seruaunt: according vnto thy worde. Psa 119:66 (119:2) Learne me the good taste & cunning: for I haue beleued thy commaundementes. Psa 119:67 (119:3) Before I felt affliction I swarued out of the way: but nowe I kepe thy word. Psa 119:68 (119:4) Thou art good and beneficiall: teache me thy statutes. Psa 119:69 (119:5) The proude haue forged a false tale agaynst me: but I wyll kepe thy commaundementes with my whole heart. Psa 119:70 (119:6) Their heart is as fat as brawne: but my delyght hath ben in thy lawe. Psa 119:71 (119:7) It is good for me that I am brought into miserie: by that meanes I shall learne thy statutes. Psa 119:72 (119:8) The lawe of thy mouth is dearer vnto me: then thousandes of golde & siluer. Psa 119:73 <Iod> (119:1) Thy handes haue made me and fashioned me: geue me vnderstanding, and I will learne thy comaundementes. Psa 119:74 (119:2) They that feare thee, shall see me, & reioyce: because I haue geuen earnest attendaunce vnto thy worde. Psa 119:75 (119:3) I know O God that thy iudgementes are iustice: and that thou hast caused me ryghtfully to be afflicted. Psa 119:76 (119:4) I beseche thee let thy louing kindnesse be a meanes to comfort me: accordyng to thy worde [spoken] vnto thy seruaunt. Psa 119:77 (119:5) Let thy pitifull mercies come vnto me, that I may lyue: for thy lawe is my delyght. Psa 119:78 (119:6) Let the proude be confounded, for they haue falsly reported me: but I wyll study thy commaundementes. Psa 119:79 (119:7) Let such as feare thee and knowe thy testimonies: returne vnto me. Psa 119:80 (119:8) Let myne heart be perfectly [set] in thy statutes: that I be not ashamed. Psa 119:81 <Caph> (119:1) My soule hath faynted after thy saluation: I geue earnest attedaunce vnto thy worde. Psa 119:82 (119:2) Myne eyes haue faynted after thy worde: whylest I say, when wilt thou comfort me. Psa 119:83 (119:3) For I am become like a bottel [hanged] in the smoke: yet I do not forget thy statutes. Psa 119:84 (119:4) Howe many are the dayes of thy seruaunt? when wilt thou geue iudgement agaynst them that persecute me? Psa 119:85 (119:5) The proude haue digged pittes for me: which is [a thing] not [done] accordyng to thy lawe. Psa 119:86 (119:6) All thy commaundementes are the trueth it selfe: they wrongfully persecute me, O be thou my ayde. Psa 119:87 (119:7) They had almost made an ende of me vpon the earth: but I forsoke not thy commaundementes. Psa 119:88 (119:8) Make me to lyue accordyng to thy pietie: and I wyll kepe the testimonies of thy mouth. Psa 119:89 <Lamed> (119:1) O God: thy worde endureth for euer in heauen. Psa 119:90 (119:2) Thy trueth [appeareth] to euery generation: thou hast layde the foundation of the earth, and it shall continue. Psa 119:91 (119:3) [All thynges] continue this day accordyng to thine ordinaunce: for all thinges be thy seruauntes. Psa 119:92 (119:4) If my delight had not ben in thy lawe: I shoulde haue perished in myne affliction. Psa 119:93 (119:5) I wyll neuer forget thy commaundementes: for through them thou hast reuiued me. Psa 119:94 (119:6) I am thine, saue me: for I haue diligently studied thy commaundementes ouer. Psa 119:95 (119:7) When the vngodly layde wayte for me to destroy me: I endeuoured my selfe to vnderstande thy testimonies. Psa 119:96 (119:8) I see an ende of euery thing be it neuer so perfect: but thy commaundement is exceedyng large. Psa 119:97 <Mem> (119:1) Howe greatly do I loue thy lawe? my study is all the day long in it. Psa 119:98 (119:2) Thou hast made me wyser then myne enemies through thy commaundementes: for they are euer with me. Psa 119:99 (119:3) I am able to geue better instruction then all they that were my teachers: for thy testimonies are my study. Psa 119:100 (119:4) I am made to vnderstande more then the aged can: because I kept thy commaundementes. Psa 119:101 (119:5) I haue rstrayned my feete from euery euyll way: that I may kepe thy worde. Psa 119:102 (119:6) I haue not shrinked from thy iudgementes: for thou didst teache me. Psa 119:103 (119:7) Howe sweete are thy wordes vnto my throte: truely [they be sweeter] then hony is to my mouth. Psa 119:104 (119:8) Through thy commaundementes I get vnderstandyng: therfore I hate all wayes of falshood. Psa 119:105 <Nun> (119:1) Thy worde is a candell vnto my feete: and a lyght vnto my pathes. Psa 119:106 (119:2) I haue made an oth (which I wil ratifie) for to kepe thy iuste iudgementes. Psa 119:107 (119:3) I am troubled aboue measure: quicken me O God accordyng vnto thy worde. Psa 119:108 (119:4) Let the freewyll offerynges of my mouth please thee O God: and teache me thy iudgementes. Psa 119:109 (119:5) My soule is alway in my hande: yet I do not forget thy lawe. Psa 119:110 (119:6) The vngodly haue layde a snare for me: but yet I swarued not from thy commaundementes. Psa 119:111 (119:7) I haue claymed thy testimonies as myne heritage for euer: for they are the very ioy of myne heart. Psa 119:112 (119:8) I haue applyed myne heart for to fulfyll thy statutes: euen to the worldes ende. Psa 119:113 <Samech> (119:1) I hate hygh subtile deuices: and I do loue thy lawe. Psa 119:114 (119:2) Thou art my refuge and my shield: I geue earnest attendaunce vnto thy worde. Psa 119:115 (119:3) Auoyde from me ye malicious [persons:] and I wyll kepe the commaundementes of my Lorde. Psa 119:116 (119:4) Strengthen me in thy worde and I shall lyue: and make me not ashamed of my hope. Psa 119:117 (119:5) Holde thou me vp and I shalbe safe: and I will loke gladly vpon thy statutes alwayes. Psa 119:118 (119:6) Thou hast troden vnder foote all them that go astray from thy statutes: for their crafty deuice is but falshood. Psa 119:119 (119:7) Thou hast dispatched out of the way all the vngodly of the earth lyke drosse: therfore I loue thy testimonies. Psa 119:120 (119:8) My fleshe trembleth for feare of thee: and I am afrayde of thy iudgementes. Psa 119:121 <Ain> (119:1) I haue executed iudgement and iustice: [wherfore] leaue me not to such as do offer me wrong. Psa 119:122 (119:2) For thy owne goodnesse sake take thy seruaunt vnto thy protection: let not the proude oppresse me with wrong. Psa 119:123 (119:3) Myne eyes haue faynted with lokyng for thy saluation: and for the worde of thy [ryghteousnesse.] Psa 119:124 (119:4) Deale with thy seruaunt accordyng vnto thy owne louyng kyndnesse: and teache me thy statutes. Psa 119:125 (119:5) I am thy seruaunt, graunt me vnderstandyng: that I may knowe thy testimonies. Psa 119:126 (119:6) It is tyme for [me] to do for Gods cause: for they haue brought thy lawe almost to nothyng. Psa 119:127 (119:7) Therfore I loue thy commaundementes: aboue golde and precious stone. Psa 119:128 (119:8) Therfore I take all thy commaundementes euery one of them to be ryght: & I vtterly hate all wayes of falshood. Psa 119:129 <Pe> (119:1) Thy testimonies [contayne] wonderfull thinges: therfore doth my soule kepe them. Psa 119:130 (119:2) The first entering of thy wordes will illuminate: geuyng vnderstanding euen vnto the simple. Psa 119:131 (119:3) I opened my mouth and panted: for I bare a great affection to thy commaundementes. Psa 119:132 (119:4) Loke thou vpon me and be mercifull vnto me: as thou vsest to do vnto those that loue thy name. Psa 119:133 (119:5) Direct my steppes in thy worde: and so shall no wickednesse haue dominion ouer me. Psa 119:134 (119:6) Redeeme me from the fraudulent dealyng of men: and I wyll kepe thy commaundementes. Psa 119:135 (119:7) Make the lyght of thy countenaunce shyne vpon thy seruaunt: and teache me thy statutes. Psa 119:136 (119:8) Ryuers of waters gushe out of myne eyes: because men kepe not thy lawe. Psa 119:137 <Sade> (119:1) O God: thou art iust and vpryght in thy iudgementes. Psa 119:138 (119:2) Thou hast commaunded the iustice and the veritie of thy testimonies: [to be obserued] very strayghtly. Psa 119:139 (119:3) My zeale hath consumed me: because myne aduersaries haue forgotten thy wordes. Psa 119:140 (119:4) Thy worde is purified to the vttermost: and thy seruaunt loueth it. Psa 119:141 (119:5) I am small and of no reputation: [yet] I do not forget thy comaundementes. Psa 119:142 (119:6) Thy ryghteousnesse is an euerlastyng righteousnesse: & thy lawe is the trueth. Psa 119:143 (119:7) Trouble and griefe haue taken holde vpon me: yet thy commaundementes be my delyght. Psa 119:144 (119:8) The righteousnesse of thy testimonies is euerlastyng: make me to vnderstande [them] and I shall lyue. Psa 119:145 <Coph> (119:1) I haue called with my whole heart, heare me O God: I wyll kepe thy statutes. Psa 119:146 (119:2) I haue called vpon thee, saue me: and I wyll kepe thy testimonies. Psa 119:147 (119:3) I haue preuented [other] in the dawnyng of the day, and I cryed vnto thee: for I geue earnest attendaunce vnto thy wordes. Psa 119:148 (119:4) Myne eyes haue preuented the nyght watches: that my study might be wholy in thy wordes. Psa 119:149 (119:5) Heare my voyce accordyng to thy louing kindnesse: make me to lyue O God after thy iudgementes. Psa 119:150 (119:6) They that mynde to do an act of mischiefenesse, do drawe nye vnto me: they are farre from thy lawe. Psa 119:151 (119:7) But thou art nye at hande O God: and all thy comaundementes be trueth. Psa 119:152 (119:8) As concernyng thy testimonies: I haue knowen long since that thou hast made them to last for euer. Psa 119:153 <Resh> (119:1) Beholde myne affliction & deliuer me: for I haue not forgotten thy lawe. Psa 119:154 (119:2) Defende thou my cause & redeeme me: make me to lyue accordyng vnto thy worde. Psa 119:155 (119:3) Saluation is farre from the vngodly: for they study not thy statutes. Psa 119:156 (119:4) Thy mercies be manifolde O God: make me to liue accordyng to thy iudgementes. Psa 119:157 (119:5) There be many that do persecute me and be myne aduersaries: yet I do not swarue from thy testimonies. Psa 119:158 (119:6) I sawe transgressours, and I was greeued at the heart: because they kept not thy lawe. Psa 119:159 (119:7) Beholde howe I loue thy commaundementes: quicken me O God accordyng to thy louyng kindnesse. Psa 119:160 (119:8) The beginning of thy word is trueth: and all the iudgementes of thy ryghteousnesse endure for euermore. Psa 119:161 <Shin> (119:1) Princes haue persecuted me without a cause: but my heart hath stoode in awe of thy wordes. Psa 119:162 (119:2) I am as glad of thy worde: as he that fyndeth a great bootie. Psa 119:163 (119:3) That which is false I hate and abhorre: but thy lawe I do loue. Psa 119:164 (119:4) I do prayse thee seuen tymes euery day: for loue of the iudgementes of thy iustice. Psa 119:165 (119:5) They that loue thy lawe shall haue great prosperitie: and nothyng shall offende them. Psa 119:166 (119:6) Lorde, I haue wayted after thy saluation: and I haue done thy commaundementes. Psa 119:167 (119:7) My soule hath kept thy testimonies: and I haue loued them exceedyngly. Psa 119:168 (119:8) I haue kept thy commaundementes and testimonies: for all my wayes are before thee. Psa 119:169 <Tau> (119:1) Let my crye O God approche neare vnto thy face: make me to vnderstande [euery thyng] accordyng vnto thy worde. Psa 119:170 (119:2) Let my supplication come before thee: deliuer me accordyng to thy worde. Psa 119:171 (119:3) My lippes shall powre out [thy] prayse: when thou hast taught me thy statutes. Psa 119:172 (119:4) My tongue shall syng of thy worde: for all thy commaundementes are ryghteousnesse. Psa 119:173 (119:5) Let thyne hande be redie for to ayde me: for I haue chosen thy commaundementes. Psa 119:174 (119:6) I haue longed for thy saluation O God: and thy lawe is my whole delight Psa 119:175 (119:7) Let my soule lyue, and it shall prayse thee: and thy iudgementes shalbe an ayde vnto me. Psa 119:176 (119:8) I haue gone astray lyke a lost sheepe: oh seke out thy seruaunt, for I haue not forgotten thy commaundementes.
