The men that are puff 'd up with pride against me forg'd a lie; Yet thy commandements observe with my whole heart will I.
My persecutors many are, and foes that do combine; Yet from thy testimonies pure my heart doth not decline.
With my whole heart I did entreat thy face and favour free: According to thy gracious word be merciful to me.
The men whose hearts with pride are stuff'd did greatly me deride; Yet from thy straight commandements I have not turn'd aside.
Give understanding unto me, so keep thy law shall I; Yea, ev'n with my whole heart I shall observe it carefully.
False witnesses rose; to my charge things I not knew they laid.
Blessed are they who to observe his statutes are inclin'd; And who do seek the living God with their whole heart and mind.
