47.

I LOVE—the Lord,
Because he hath heard my | voice—and my |

sup-plications. Because he hath inclined his ear-unto | me, Therefore will I call upon him—as | long as

I live.

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the

pains of hell gat | hold-up | on me : I found trouble and sorrow, Then called I upon the name of—the Lord : O Lord, I beseech | thee, -de | liver—my | soul.

Gracious is the Lord,—and | righteous ;
Y ea, --our | God—is | merciful.
The Lord pre | serveth—the simple :
I was brought | low,—and he | help—ed | me.

Return unto thy rest, | 0—my soul ;
For the Lord hath dealt | bount-i | ful—ly |

with thee; For thou hast delivered my | soul--from death, Mine eyes from tears,—and my feet-from

falling

I will walk before—the Lord
In the land of—the living.
I believed, therefore have-Ispoken :
Il-was I greatly—af | Alicted:

I said in my haste, | All men—are | liars.
What shall I render unto the Lord for | all-

his benefits toward me?
I will take the cup of—sal | vation,
And call up | on—the name of-the Lord.

I will pay my vows unto—the Lord
Now in the presence-of | all-his people.
Precious in the sight of-the Lord
Is the death of-his saints.

O Lord, truly I | am-thy | servant;
I am thy servant, and the son of thine hand-

maid : | thou-hast loosed-my bonds. I will offer to thee the sacrifice of-thanks /

giving, And will call up / on-the name of—the /

Lord,

I will pay my vows unto--the Lord
Now in the presence of | all-his I people.
In the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of

thee, 0-Jerusalem. Pra | i-se / ye—the Lord.

BLESSED are the undefiled | in—the way,
Who | walk-in the law of-the Lord.
Blessed are they that | keep-his | testimonies,
And that seek-him with the-whole heart.
They also do—no in | iquity :
They | wa-lk | in-his ways.
Thou bast-commanded us
To | keep_thy | pre-cepts | diligently.
O that my | ways—were directed
To keep | thấy | statutes !
Then shall I | not-be a shamed,
When I have respect | unto—all | thy-com |

mandments. I will praise thee with | upright-ness of heart, When I shall have | learned—thy | right--eous |

judgments. I will | keep-thy | statutes : O for 1 sa-ke | me-not I utterly.

BETH.

Wherewithal shall a young man | cleanse—his

way? By taking heed thereto accord—ing | to-thy |

word. With my whole | heart—have I sought thee: Olet me not | wander

wander - from thy - com | mandments.

:

Thy word have I hid in-mine heart,
That I might—not sin-against thee.
Blessed art | thou,-0 | Lord:
Tea | -ch | me—thy | statutes.

With my lips have 1-declared
All the judg-ments | of-thý | mouth.
I have rejoiced in the way of thy | testimonies
As / much-as | in-all | riches.

I will meditate | in-thy | precepts,
And have re spe—ct | unto—thy I ways :
I will delight myself | in-thy statutes :
I will not-for | get-thy | word.

GIMEL.

Deal bountifully | with—thy | servant,
That I may | live,--and keep—thy | word.
Open thou—mine eyes,
That I may behold wondrous | thi-ngs | out of,

thy | law.

I am a stranger | in—the earth;
Hide not | thy-com | mand—ments | from me.
My soul breaketh for the longing that -- it!

hath
Unto I th-y | judgments—at | all times.

Thou hast rebuked the proud | that-are |

cursed, Which do err—from thy—commandments. Remove from me re | proach—and contempt ; For | I-have kept—thy | testimonies.

Princes also did sit and speak—a | gainst me: But thy servant did | medi—tate | in—thy |

statutes. Thy testimonies also are | my-de | light, AI- | nd-my | counsellors.

DALETH.

My soul cleaveth unto—the dust :
Quicken thou me ac | cord—ing | to—thy I word.
I have declared my ways, and thou | heard-est |

me:

Tea | --ch | me—thy | statutes.

Make me to understand the way of—thy |

precepts: So shall | I talk of_thy | won-drous / works. My soul | melteth—for heaviness : Strengthen thou me ac | cord—ing | unto-thy |

word.

Remove from me the way—of | lying;
And | grant-me | thy-law | graciously.
I have chosen the way-of truth :
Thy judgments | have—I | laid-be | fore me.
