THOU Portio mea, Domine. HOU art my portion, O Lord : I have promised to keep thy law. 58 I made my humble petition in thy presence with my whole heart: O be merciful unto me, according to thy word. 59 I called mine own ways to remembrance : and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. 60 I made haste, and prolonged not the time : to keep thy commandments. 61 The congregations of the ungodly have robbed me but I have not forgotten thy law. 62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judge ments. : 63 I am a companion of all them that fear thee : and keep thy commandments. 64 The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: O teach me thy statutes. Bonitatem fecisti. Lord, thou hast dealt graciously with thy servant according unto thy word. 66 O learn me true understanding and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. 67 Before I was troubled, I went wrong: but now have I kept thy word. 68 Thou art good and gracious : O teach me thy statutes. 69 The proud have imagined a lie against me: but I will keep thy commandments with my whole heart. : 70 Their heart is as fat as brawn but my delight hath been in thy law. 71 It is good for me that I have been in trouble: that I may learn thy statutes. 72 The law of thy mouth is dearer unto me: than thousands of gold and silver. THY Evening Prayer. Manus tuæ fecerunt me. HY hands have made me and fashioned me: O give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. 74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me because I have put my trust in thy word. 75 I know, O Lord, that thy judgements are right and that thou of very faithfulness hast caused me to be troubled. : 76 O let thy merciful kindness be my comfort: according to thy word unto thy servant. 77 O let thy loving mercies come unto me, that I may live for thy law is my delight. 78 Let the proud be confounded, for they go wickedly about to destroy me : but I will be occupied in thy commandments. 79 Let such as fear thee, and have known thy testimonies: be turned unto me. 80 O let my heart be sound in thy statutes : that I be not ashamed. MY Defecit anima mea. Y soul hath longed for thy salvation : and I have a good hope because of thy word. 82 Mine eyes long sore for thy word: saying, O when wilt thou comfort me? 83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke: yet do I not forget thy statutes. 84 How many are the days of thy servant : when wilt thou be avenged of them that persecute me? 85 The proud have digged pits for me: which are not after thy law. 86 All thy commandments are true : they persecute me falsly; O be thou my help. 87 They had almost made an end of me upon earth but I forsook not thy commandments. 88 O quicken me after thy loving-kindness: and so shall I keep the testimonies of thy mouth. In æternum, Domine. Lord, thy word: endureth for ever in heaven. 90 Thy truth also remaineth from one generation to another: thou hast laid the foundation of the earth, and it abideth. : 91 They continue this day according to thine ordinance for all things serve thee. 92 If my delight had not been in thy law : I should have perished in my trouble. 93 I will never forget thy commandments : for with them thou hast quickened me. 94 I am thine, O save me : for I have sought thy commandments. 95 The ungodly laid wait for me to destroy me but I will consider thy testimonies. 96 I see that all things come to an end : but thy commandment is exceeding broad. Quomodo dilexi! L ORD, what love have I unto thy law : all the day long is my study in it. 98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies for they are ever with me. : 99 I have more understanding than my teachers for thy testimonies are my study. 100 I am wiser than the aged: because I keep thy commandments. 101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way that I may keep thy word. 102 I have not shrunk from thy judgements: for thou teachest me.. 103 O how sweet are thy words unto my throat yea, sweeter than honey unto my mouth. 104 Through thy commandments I get understanding: therefore I hate all evil ways. T Morning Prayer. Lucerna pedibus meis. HY word is a lantern unto my feet: and a light unto my paths. 106 I have sworn, and am stedfastly purposed to keep thy righteous judgements. 107 I am troubled above measure : quicken me, O Lord, according to thy word. 108 Let the free-will offerings of my mouth please thee, O Lord and teach me thy judgements. 109 My soul is alway in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. 110 The ungodly have laid a snare for me : but yet I swerved not from thy command ments. 111 Thy testimonies have I claimed as mine heritage for ever and why? they are the very joy of my heart. 112 I have applied my heart to fulfil thy statutes alway: even unto the end. Iniquos odio habui. I Hate them that imagine evil things : but thy law do I love. 114 Thou art my defence and shield: and my trust is in thy word. |
