The free-will-off 'rings of my mouth accept, I thee beseech: And unto me thy servant, Lord, thy judgments clearly teach.
O Lord, thou ever blessed art, thy statutes teach thou me.
O let my earnest pray'r and cry come near before thee, Lord: Give understanding unto me, according to thy word.
The entrance of thy words gives light, makes wise who simple are.
My ways I shew'd, and me thou heard'st: teach me thy statutes, Lord.
And now, ev'n at this present time, mine head shall lifted be Above all those that are my foes, and round encompass me: Therefore unto his tabernacle I'll sacrifices bring Of joyfulness; I'll sing, yea, I to God will praises sing.
