2 How happy they who observe his testimonies, with a whole heart, they seek him.
Blessed are they that keepe his testimonies, and seeke him with their whole heart.

Surely they woorke none iniquitie, but walke in his waies.
4 Thou, hast commanded thy precepts, that they should be diligently kept.
Thou hast commanded to keepe thy precepts diligently.
5 Oh would that my ways might be settled! that I might keep thy statutes.
Oh that my waies were directed to keepe thy statutes!

10 With all my heart, have I sought thee, Suffer me not to be led astray from thy commandments.
With my whole heart haue I sought thee: let me not wander from thy commandements.
11 In my heart, have I treasured what thou hast said, to the end I may not sin against thee.
I haue hid thy promise in mine heart, that I might not sinne against thee.
12 Blessed art thou, O Yahweh—Teach me thy statutes.
Blessed art thou, O Lord: teache mee thy statutes.

GIMEL. Be beneficiall vnto thy seruant, that I may liue and keepe thy woorde.
18 Unveil thou mine eyes, that I may discern Wondrous things out of thy law.
Open mine eies, that I may see the wonders of thy Lawe.
19 A sojourner, am, I, in the earth, Do not hide from me, thy commandments.
I am a stranger vpon earth: hide not thy commandements from me.
20 My soul is crushed with longing for thy just decisions at all times.
Mine heart breaketh for the desire to thy iudgements alway.
21 Thou hast rebuked the proud as accursed, who stray from thy commandments.
Thou hast destroied the proud: cursed are they that doe erre from thy commandements.
22 Roll from off me, reproach and contempt, For, thy testimonies, have I observed.
Remoue from mee shame and contempt: for I haue kept thy testimonies.
23 Even rulers have taken their seat, against me, have talked, Thy servant, will still meditate in thy statutes.
Princes also did sit, and speake against me: but thy seruant did meditate in thy statutes.
24 Yea, thy testimonies, are my dear delight, My counsellors.
Also thy testimonies are my delite, and my counsellers.

The proude haue had me exceedingly in derision: yet haue I not declined from thy Lawe.
52 I have remembered thy regulations, [which have come down] from age-past times, O Yahweh, and have consoled myself.
I remembred thy iudgements of olde, O Lord, and haue bene comforted.
53 A raging heat, hath seized me, by reason of the lawless, who forsake thy law.
Feare is come vpon mee for the wicked, that forsake thy Lawe.
54 Songs, have thy statutes become to me, in my house of sojourn.
Thy statutes haue beene my songes in the house of my pilgrimage.
55 I have remembered, in the night, thy Name, O Yahweh, and have kept thy law.

Mine eyes faile for thy promise, saying, when wilt thou comfort me?
83 Though I have been like a wine-skin in the smoke, thy statutes, have I not forgotten.
For I am like a bottell in the smoke: yet doe I not forget thy statutes.
84 How few are the days of thy servant! When wilt thou execute sentence on my persecutors?
Howe many are the dayes of thy seruant? When wilt thou execute iudgement on them that persecute me?
85 Insolent men digged for me pits, men who are not according to thy law.
The proude haue digged pittes for mee, which is not after thy Lawe.
86 All thy commandments, are faithful, With falsehood, have they persecuted me, O help me!
All thy commandements are true: they persecute me falsely: helpe me.
