  3. Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.

  4. Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.

  16. Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.

  17. I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.

  18. I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.
