Wonderful are your commands :
 and therefore my soul keeps them.
The unfolding of your word gives light :
 it gives understanding to the simple.
I open my mouth and draw in my breath :
 for I yearn for your commandments.
O turn to me and be merciful to me :
 as is your way with those who love your name.
Order my steps according to your word :
 that no evil may get mastery over me.
Deliver me from man’s oppression :
 that I may keep your precepts.
Make your face shine upon your servant :
 and teach me your statutes.
My eyes gush out with streams of water :
 because they pay no heed to your law.
Righteous are you, Lord God :
 and just are your judgements;
The commands that you have commanded :
 are exceedingly righteous and true.
Zeal and indignation have choked my mouth :
 because my enemies have forgotten your words.
Your word has been tried in the fire :
 and therefore your servant loves it.
I am small and of no account :
 but I have not forgotten your precepts.
Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness :
 and your law is the truth.
Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me :
 but your commandments are my delight.
The righteousness of your commands is everlasting :
 O give me understanding, and I shall live.
I call with my whole heart :
 hear me, O Lord, I will keep your statutes.
I cry out to you; O save me :
 and I will heed your commands.
Before the morning light I rise and I call :
 for in your word is my hope.
Before the night watch my eyes wake :
 that I may meditate upon your words.
Hear my voice, O Lord, in your loving mercy :
 and according to your judgements, give me life.
They draw near to me who maliciously persecute me :
 but they are far from your law.
You, Lord, are close at hand :
 and all your commandments are true.
I have known long since from your commands :
 that you have founded them for ever.
