Psalm 119. (2) 49-64.

Psalm 119. (3) 65-80.

O take not the word of thy truth utterly out of my mouth: for my hope is in thy judgments.

So shall I alway keep thy law: yea, for ever and ever.
And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy commandments.
I will speak of thy testimonies also, even before kings:
and will not be ashamed.

And my delight shall be in thy commandments: which I have loved.

My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved: and my study shall be in thy statutes. Glory, &c.

O think upon thy servant, as concerning thy word: wherein thou hast caused me to put my trust.

The same is my comfort in my trouble: for thy word hath quickened me.

The proud have had me exceedingly in derision: yet have I not shrinked from thy law.

For I remembered thine everlasting judgments, O Lord: and received comfort.

I am horribly afraid for the ungodly that forsake thy law.

Thy statutes have been my songs: in the house of my pilgrimage.

I have thought upon thy Name, O Lord, in the nightseason and have kept thy law.

This I had; because I kept thy commandments.

Thou art my portion, O Lord: I have promised to keep thy law.

I made my humble petition in thy presence with my whole heart: O be merciful unto me, according to thy word.

I called mine own ways to remembrance: and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.

I made haste, and prolonged not the time: to keep thy commandments.

The congregations of the ungodly have robbed me but I have not forgotten thy law.

At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee: because of thy righteous judgments.

I am a companion of all them that fear thee: and keep thy commandments.

The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: O teach me thy statutes. Glory be, &c.

O Lord, thou hast dealt graciously with thy servant: according unto thy word.

O learn me true understanding and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.

F

(kk) Antiphon.

Before I was troubled, I went wrong: but now have I kept thy word.

Thou art good and gracious: O teach me thy statutes.

The proud have imagined a lie against me: but I will keep thy commandments with my whole heart.

Their heart is as fat as brawn: but my delight hath been in thy law.

It is good for me that I have been in trouble: that I may learn thy statutes.

The law of thy mouth is dearer unto me: than thousands of gold and silver.

Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: O give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

They that fear thee will be glad when they see me : because I have put my trust in thy word.

I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right: and that thou of very faithfulness hast caused me to be troubled.

O let thy merciful kindness be my comfort: according to thy word unto thy servant.

O let thy loving mercies come unto me, that I may live : for thy law is my delight.

Let the proud be confounded, for they go wickedly about to destroy me: but I will be occupied in thy commandments. Let such as fear thee, and have known thy testimonies : be turned unto me.

O let my heart be sound in thy statutes: that I be not ashamed. Glory be, &c.

Praise ye

the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.

(pp) Antiphon. Psalm 119. (1)

81-96.

Praise ye the Lord.

My soul hath longed for thy salvation: and I have a good hope, because of thy word.

Mine eyes long sore for thy word: saying, O when wilt thou comfort me?

For I am become like a bottle in the smoke yet do I not forget thy statutes.

How many are the days of thy servant: when wilt thou be avenged of them that persecute me?

The proud have digged pits for me: which are not after thy law.

All thy commandments are true: they persecute me falsely; O be thou my help.

They had almost made an end of me upon earth but I forsook not thy commandments.

O quicken me after thy loving-kindness: and so shall I keep the testimonies of thy mouth.

O Lord, thy word: endureth for ever in heaven.

Thy truth also remaineth from one generation to another; thou hast laid the foundation of the earth, and it abideth.

Psalm 119. (2) 97-112.

Psalm 119 (3) 113-128.

:

They continue this day according to thine ordinance for all things serve thee.

If my delight had not been in thy law: I should have perished in my trouble.

I will never forget thy commandments: for with them thou hast quickened me.

I am thine, O save me: for I have sought thy commandments.

The ungodly laid wait for me, to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.

I see that all things come to an end: but thy commandment is exceeding broad. Glory be, &c.

Lord, what love have I unto thy law: all the day long is my study in it!

Thou, through thy commandments, hast made me wise than mine enemies for they are ever with me.

I have more understanding than my teachers: for thy testimonies are my study.

I am wiser than the aged: because I keep thy command

ments.

I have refrained my feet from every evil way: that I may keep thy word.

I have not shrunk from thy judgments: for thou teach

est me.

O how sweet are thy words unto my throat: yea, sweeter than honey unto my mouth!

Through thy commandments I get understanding: therefore I hate all evil ways.

Thy word is a lantern unto my feet and a light unto my paths.

I have sworn, and am stedfastly purposed to keep thy righteous judgments.

I am troubled above measure: quicken me, O Lord, according to thy word.

Let the free-will offerings of my mouth please thee, O Lord and teach me thy judgments.

My soul is always in my hand : yet do I not forget thy law. The ungodly have laid a snare for me: but yet I swerved not from thy commandments.

Thy testimonies have I claimed as mine heritage for ever: and why? they are the very joy of my heart.

I have applied my heart to fulfil thy statutes always: even unto the end. Glory be, &c.

I hate them that imagine evil things: but thy law do I love Thou art my defence and shield and my trust is in thy word.
