Psalm 119:144

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

Eternal righteousness is in thy testimonies all: Lord, to me understanding give, and ever live I shall.

See the chapter Copy

O let my earnest pray'r and cry come near before thee, Lord: Give understanding unto me, according to thy word.

Thou mad'st and fashion'dst me: thy laws to know give wisdom, Lord.

As for thy testimonies all, of old this have I try'd, That thou hast surely founded them for ever to abide.

Thy testimonies thou command'st most faithful are and right.

Good judgment me, and knowledge teach, for I thy word believe.

Unspotted is the fear of God, and doth endure for ever: The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

Give understanding unto me, so keep thy law shall I; Yea, ev'n with my whole heart I shall observe it carefully.

With me thy servant, in thy grace, deal bountifully, Lord: That by thy favor I may live, and duly keep thy word.

But thou art near, Lord; most firm truth all thy commandments are.
