CAPH.

My soul fainteth for thy-sal | vation;
But I hope in-thy | word.
Mine eyes fail for-thy | word,

Saying, When | wilt thou com-fort | me?

For I am become like a bottle | in-the | smoke;
Yet do I not-for | get-thy | statutes.
How many are the days of-thy | servant?
When wilt thou execute judgment on them-
that perse-cute | me?

The proud have digged | pits-for me,
Which are not | after-thy | law.
All thy commandments-are | faithful:
They persecute me | wrong-fully, | help-
thou me.

They had almost consumed me up-on | earth :
But I-for | sook not-thy | precepts.

Quicken me after thy | lov-ing | kindness;
So shall I keep the

mouth.

testimony | of-thy |

For ever,-0 | Lord,

LAMED.

Thy word-is settled-in | heaven,

Thy faithfulness is unto all-generations: Thou hast established the earth,-and | it

a bideth.

They continue this day according | to-thine |

ordinances :

For a-11 | are-thy | servants.

Unless thy law had been | my-de | lights,

I should then have | perished-in | mine— affliction.

I will never for | get-thy | precepts:

For with them thou hast | quicken-ed me. I am | thi-ne, | save me:

For I have sought-thy | precepts.

The wicked have waited for me, to destroy

me:

But I will-con | sider-thy | testimonies.
I

I have seen an end of | all-per | fection:

But thy commandment | is-ex | ceed-ing | broad.

MEM.

O how love | I-thy | law!

It is my meditation | all-the | day. Thou through thy commandments, hast made me wiser than-mine | enemies :

For they are | ever-with | me.

I have more understanding than | all—my | teachers:

For thy testimonies | are-my | me-di | tation. I understand | more-than the ancients,

Because I keep-thy | precepts.

I have refrained my feet from every | ev-il |

way,

That I might | keep-thy | word.

I have not departed | from-thy | judgments:
For thou hast taught me.

How sweet are thy words | unto-my taste! Yea, sweeter than hon-ey | to-my mouth. Through thy precepts I get un-der | standing: Therefore I ha-te | every false | way.

NUN.

Thy word is a lamp | unto-my | feet,
And a light | unto-my | path.

I have sworn, and I will-per | form it,
That I will keep thy | right-eous | judg-

ments.

I am afflicted very much :

Quicken me, O Lord, ac | cord-ing | unto— thy | word.

Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth,-0 | Lord,

And tea-ch me-thy | judgments.

My soul is continually | in-my | hand:
Yet do I not-for get-thy | law.
The wicked have laid a | sna-re | for me:
Yet I erred-not | from-thy | precepts.

Thy testimonies have I taken as an | heritagefor

ever:

For they are the re | joic-ing | of-my | heart.
I have inclined my heart to perform-thy |

statutes

Alway, | e-ven | unto-the end.

SAMECH.

I hate-vain | thoughts:

But thy | la-w | do-I | love. |

Thou art my hiding place | and—my | shield : I | ho-pe | in-thy | word.

Depart from me, ye | ev-il | doers:

For I will keep the command-ments | of— my God.

Uphold me according unto thy word, that | Imay live:

And let me not be a sham-ed | of-my | hope.

Hold thou me up, and | I shall—be | safe : And I will have respect | unto thy | statutescontinually.

Thou hast trodden down all them that | errfrom thy statutes:

For their-de | ceit-is | falsehood.

Thou puttest away all the wicked of the | earthlike dross:

Therefore-I | love-thy | testimonies.
My flesh trembleth for | fear-of | thee;
And I | am—a | fraid of-thy | judgments.

AIN.

I have done judgment—and | justice;
Leave me not-to | mine-op | pressors.
Be surety for thy | servant-for | good:
Let not the proud-op | press me.

Mine eyes fail for thy-sal | vation,
And for the word-of | th-y | righteousness.
Deal with thy servant according | unto-thy |

mercy,

And | tea-ch | me-thy | statutes.

I am-thy servant,

Give me understanding, that | I-may | knowthy testimonies.

[ocr errors]

It is time for thee, | Lord,-to | work;

For they have-made | void-thy | law.

Therefore I love thy commandments | a-bove | gold,

Yea, above-fine | gold.

Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to-be | right;

And I hate | every false | way.

PE.

Thy testimonies | ar-e | wonderful: Therefore doth-my | so-ul | keep them. The entrance of thy words | giv-eth | light; lt giveth under stand-ing | unto the | simple.
