eaviness: comfort thou me
according unto thy word.

29 Take from me the way of lying: and cause thou me to make much of
thy law.

30 I have chosen the way of truth: and thy judgements have I laid
before me.

31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O Lord, confound me not.

32 I will run the way of thy commandments: when thou hast set my
heart at liberty.

DAY 25 MORNING PRAYER

_Legem pone_.

Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes: and I shall keep it unto
the end.

34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law: yea, I shall
keep it with my whole heart.

35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments: for therein is my
desire.

36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies: and not to covetousness.

37 O turn away mine eyes, lest they behold vanity: and quicken thou
me in thy way.

38 O stablish thy word in thy servant: that I may fear thee.

39 Take away the rebuke that I am afraid of: for thy judgements are
good.

40 Behold, my delight is in thy commandments: O quicken me in thy
righteousness.

_Et veniat super me_.

Let thy loving mercy come also unto me, O Lord: even thy salvation,
according unto thy word.

42 So shall I make answer unto my blasphemers: for my trust is in
thy word.

43 O take not the word of thy truth utterly out of my mouth: for my
hope is in thy judgements.

44 So shall I alway keep thy law: yea, for ever and ever.

45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy commandments.

46 I will speak of thy testimonies also, even before kings: and will
not be ashamed.

47 And my delight shall be in thy commandments: which I have loved.

48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have
loved: and my study shall be in thy statutes.

_Memor esto verbi tui_.

O think upon thy servant, as concerning thy word: wherein thou hast
caused me to put my trust.

50 The same is my comfort in my trouble: for thy word hath quickened
me.

51 The proud have had me exceedingly in derision: yet have I not
shrinked from thy law.

52 For I remembered thine everlasting judgements, O Lord: and
received comfort.

53 I am horribly afraid: for the ungodly that forsake thy law.

54 Thy statutes have been my songs: in the house of my pilgrimage.

55 I have thought upon thy Name, O Lord, in the night-season: and
have kept thy law.

56 This I had: because I kept thy commandments.

_Portio mea, Domine_.

Thou art my portion, O Lord: I have promised to keep thy law.
