159  Consider how I loue thy precepts: quicken me, O Lord, according to thy louing kindnesse.

160  Thy word is true from the beginning: and euery one of thy righteous iudgements endureth for euer.

161  SCHIN. Princes haue persecuted mee without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.

162  I reioyce at thy word: as one that findeth great spoile.

163  I hate and abhorre lying: but thy Law doe I loue.

164  Seuen times a day doe I praise thee: because of thy righteous iudgements.

165  Great peace haue they which loue thy law: & nothing shall offend them.

166  Lord, I haue hoped for thy saluation: and done thy commandements.

167  My soule hath kept thy testimonies: and I loue them exceedingly.

168  I haue kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my wayes are before thee.

169  TAV. Let my crie come neere before thee, O Lord: giue mee vnderstanding according to thy worde.

170  Let my supplication come before thee: deliuer me according to thy word.

171  My lips shall vtter praise: when thou hast taught me thy Statutes.

172  My tongue shall speake of thy word: for all thy commandements are righteousnesse.

173  Let thine hand helpe me: for I haue chosen thy precepts.

174  I haue longed for thy saluation, O Lord: and thy Lawe is my delight.

175  Let my soule liue, and it shall praise thee: and let thy iudgments helpe me.

176  I haue gone astray like a lost sheepe, seeke thy seruant: for I doe not forget thy commandements.
