their whole heart.

3 For they who do no wickedness: walk in his ways.

occupied in thy statutes.

24 For thy testimonies are my delight: and my counsellors.

_Adhaesit pavimento_.

My soul cleaveth to the dust: O quicken thou me, according to thy

26 I have acknowledged my ways, and thou heardest me: O teach me
