Psalms 119:145–148

¹⁰With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.

¹³And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

¹HEAR my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come unto thee.

¹⁰⁶I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.

¹⁰And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the Lord, and wept sore.

¹⁵And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the Lord.

¹¹⁵Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.

⁴⁴So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.

¹I CRIED unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication.

²I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.

¹HEAR my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

²From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

⁸Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

⁴Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

¹³⁴Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.

¹⁴Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

¹⁵¶ And the children of Israel said unto the Lord, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day.

¹⁶And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the Lord: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.

²¹And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

⁴But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,

⁵Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

⁶Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

⁷That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

⁸This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

³⁵And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

³My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

⁵I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

⁶My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

¹³But unto thee have I cried, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.

⁷⁴They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.

⁸¹My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.

⁸Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

⁴In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

¹⁷Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

¹⁸That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

¹⁹Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

⁹With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

²Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

⁸Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

³For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.

⁶When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

¹⁹Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.

¹²And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

¹⁷How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

¹⁸If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

¹O GOD, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

⁶²At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.
