25

My soul to dust cleaves: quicken me,

according to thy word.

26

My ways I shew’d, and me thou heard’st:

teach me thy statutes, Lord.

27

The way of thy commandements

make me aright to know;

So all thy works that wondrous are

I shall to others show.

28

My soul doth melt, and drop away,

for heaviness and grief:

To me, according to thy word,

give strength, and send relief.

29

From me the wicked way of lies

let far removed be;

And graciously thy holy law

do thou grant unto me.

30

I chosen have the perfect way

of truth and verity:

Thy judgments that most righteous are

before me laid have I.

31

I to thy testimonies cleave;

shame do not on me cast.

32

I’ll run thy precepts’ way, when thou

my heart enlarged hast.
