Psalm 119:15

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

I will thy holy precepts make my meditation; And carefully I'll have respect unto thy ways each one.

See the chapter Copy

But placeth his delight Upon God's law, and meditates on his law day and night.

Mine eyes did timeously prevent the watches of the night, That in thy word with careful mind then meditate I might.

O how love I thy law! it is my study all the day:

Lord, let the proud ashamed be; for they, without a cause, With me perversely dealt: but I will muse upon thy laws.

To thy commandments, which I lov'd, my hands lift up I will; And I will also meditate upon thy statutes still.

My mouth I have wide opened, and panted earnestly, While after thy commandements I long'd exceedingly.

Hold thou me up, so shall I be in peace and safety still; And to thy statutes have respect continually I will.

Against me princes spake with spite, while they in council sat: But I thy servant did upon thy statutes meditate.

Then shall I not be sham'd, when I thy precepts all respect.

Than all my teachers now I have more understanding far; Because my meditation thy testimonies are.
