118. Thou tread'st down all that love to stray;false their deceit doth prove.

119. Lewd men, like dross, away thou putt'st;therefore thy law I love.

120. For fear of thee my very fleshdoth tremble, all dismay'd;And of thy righteous judgments, Lord,my soul is much afraid.

121. To all men I have judgment done,performing justice right;Then let me not be left unto my fierce oppressors' might.

122. For good unto thy servant, Lord,thy servant's surety be:From the oppression of the prouddo thou deliver me.

123. Mine eyes do fail with looking longfor thy salvation,The word of thy pure righteousnesswhile I do wait upon.

124. In mercy with thy servant deal,thy laws me teach and show.

125. I am thy servant, wisdom give,that I thy laws may know.

126. 'Tis time thou work, Lord; for they havemade void thy law divine.

127. Therefore thy precepts more I lovethan gold, yea, gold most fine.

128. Concerning all things thy commandsall right I judge therefore;And ev'ry false and wicked wayI perfectly abhor.

129. Thy statutes, Lord, are wonderful,my soul them keeps with care.

130. The entrance of thy words gives light,makes wise who simple are.

131. My mouth I have wide opened,and panted earnestly,While after thy commandementsI long'd exceedingly.

132. Look on me, Lord, and mercifuldo thou unto me prove,As thou art wont to do to those thy name who truly love.
