proud have digged pits for me: which are not after thy law.

86 All thy commandments are true: they persecute me falsely; O be
thou my help.

87 They had almost made an end of me upon earth: but I forsook not
thy commandments.

88 O quicken me after thy loving-kindness: and so shall I keep the
testimonies of thy mouth.

_In aeternum, Domine_.

O Lord, thy word: endureth for ever in heaven.

90 Thy truth also remaineth from one generation to another: thou
hast laid the foundation of the earth, and it abideth.

91 They continue this day according to thine ordinance: for all
things serve thee.

92 If my delight had not been in thy law: I should have perished in
my trouble.

93 I will never forget thy commandments: for with them thou hast
quickened me.

94 I am thine, O save me: for I have sought thy commandments.

95 The ungodly laid wait for me to destroy me: but I will consider
thy testimonies.

96 I see that all things come to an end: but thy commandment is
exceeding broad.

_Quomodo dilexi!_

Lord, what love have I unto thy law: all the day long is my study
in it.

98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine
enemies: for they are ever with me.

99 I have more understanding than my teachers: for thy testimonies
are my study.

100 I am wiser than the aged: because I keep thy commandments.

101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way: that I may keep
thy word.

102 I have not shrunk from thy judgements: for thou teachest me.

103 O how sweet are thy words unto my throat: yea, sweeter than
honey unto my mouth.

104 Through thy commandments I get understanding: therefore I hate
all evil ways.

106 I have sworn, and am stedfastly purposed: to keep thy righteous
judgements.

107 I am troubled above measure: quicken me, O Lord, according to
thy word.

108 Let the free-will offerings of my mouth please thee, O Lord:
and teach me thy judgements.

109 My soul is alway in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.

110 The ungodly have laid a snare for me: but yet I swerved not
from thy commandments.

111 Thy testimonies have I claimed as mine heritage for ever: and
why? they are the very joy of my heart.

112 I have applied my heart to fulfil thy statutes alway: even unto
the end.

Iniquos odio habui.

I hate them that imagine evil things: but thy law d
