The King James Version Bible

Psalms 119:23-39

  1. Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.

  2. Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.

  3. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.

  4. I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.

  5. Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.

  6. My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.

  7. Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.

  8. I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.

  9. I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.

  10. I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.

  11. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.

  12. Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

  13. Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.

  14. Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.

  15. Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.

  16. Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.

  17. Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.
