Psalms 119:80–82

¹⁶¶ This day the Lord thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

²⁸And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

¹⁴And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the Lord.

¹²For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

⁴⁷Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

⁶Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.

²³¶ Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

²Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

¹⁷But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.

²And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a perfect heart.

²⁰¶ And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before the Lord his God.

²¹And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.

⁹And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.

²O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

³Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

²¹Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

²My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

⁴⁰Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.

¹¹⁴Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

²⁶My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

⁷⁷Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.

¹⁵I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

¹⁶So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

⁸I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love.

⁴²So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.

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

¹AS the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

²My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

²⁰My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.

³I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

¹²³Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.

¹²Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

¹⁷Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, Lord, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

¹³Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

¹⁴O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

¹⁵Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.

³²Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand.

¹¹I said, I shall not see the Lord, even the Lord, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.

¹¹Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.
