¹²⁹Thy statutes, Lord, are wonderful,

my soul them keeps with care.

¹³⁰The entrance of thy words gives light,

makes wise who simple are.

¹³¹My mouth I have wide opened,

and panted earnestly,

While after thy commandements

I long’d exceedingly.

¹³²Look on me, Lord, and merciful

do thou unto me prove,

As thou art wont to do to those

thy name who truly love.

¹³³O let my footsteps in thy word

aright still order’d be:

Let no iniquity obtain

dominion over me.

¹³⁴From man’s oppression save thou me;

so keep thy laws I will.

¹³⁵Thy face make on thy servant shine;

teach me thy statutes still.

¹³⁶Rivers of waters from mine eyes

did run down, when I saw

How wicked men run on in sin,

and do not keep thy law.
