Let your loving mercy come to me, O Lord :
 and your salvation, according to your word.
Then I shall have an answer for those who reproach me :
 for I trust in your word.
Do not take the word of truth utterly out of my mouth :
 for in your judgements is my hope.
Let me keep your law continually :
 O let me keep it for ever.
And so I shall walk at liberty :
 because I have sought your precepts.
I shall speak of your commands before kings :
 and shall not be put to shame.
My delight shall be in your commandments :
 which I have greatly loved;
I shall worship you with outstretched hands :
 and I shall meditate on your statutes.
Remember your word to your servant :
 on which you have built my hope.
This has been my comfort in my affliction :
 for your word has brought me life.
Though the proud have laughed me to scorn :
 I have not turned aside from your law;
But I called to mind, O Lord, your judgements of old :
 and in them I have found consolation.
I am seized with indignation at the wicked :
 for they have forsaken your law.
But your statutes have become my songs :
 in the house of my pilgrimage.
I think on your name, O Lord, in the night :
 and I observe your law;
This has been my reward :
 because I have kept your precepts.
The Lord is my portion :
 I have promised to keep your words.
I have sought your favour with my whole heart :
 O be gracious to me according to your word.
I have taken stock of my ways :
 and have turned back my feet to your commands.
I made haste and did not delay :
 to keep your commandments.
The snares of the wicked encompassed me :
 but I did not forget your law;
At midnight I rise to give you thanks :
 for the righteousness of your judgements.
I am a friend to all who fear you :
 to those who keep your precepts.
The earth, O Lord, is full of your loving mercy :
 O teach me your statutes.
