Allegiance to God

   Psa 4:3-5  Know that the LORD hath set apart him that is 
   godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. {4} 
   Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon 
   your bed, and be still. {5} Offer the sacrifices of 
   righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
    
   Psa 5 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. {2} 
   Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto 
   thee will I pray. {3} My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, 
   O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and 
   will look up. {4} For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in 
   wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. {5} The foolish 
   shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of 
   iniquity. {6} Thou shalt destroy them that speak lies: the LORD 
   will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. {7} But as for me, I 
   will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in 
   thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. {8} Lead me, O 
   LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy 
   way straight before my face. {9} For there is no faithfulness 
   in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their 
   throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. 
   {10} Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own 
   counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their 
   transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee. {11} But 
   let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them 
   ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also 
   that love thy name be joyful in thee. {12} For thou, LORD, wilt 
   bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with 
   a shield.
    
   Psa 7:8-11   Judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, 
   and according to mine integrity that is in me. {9} Oh let the 
   wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the 
   just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. {10} 
   My defense is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. {11} 
   God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked 
   every day. 

   Psa 18:1-2   I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. {2} The 
   LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my 
   strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my 
   salvation, and my high tower. 
    
   Psa 18:20-28   The LORD rewarded me according to my 
   righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he 
   recompensed me. {21} For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and 
   have not wickedly departed from my God. {22} For all his 
   judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes 
   from me. {23} I was also upright before him, and I kept myself 
   from mine iniquity. {24} Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me 
   according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my 
   hands in his eyesight. {25} With the merciful thou wilt show 
   thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt show thyself 
   upright; {26} With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and 
   with the froward thou wilt show thyself froward. {27} For thou 
   wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks. 
   {28} For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will 
   enlighten my darkness. 

   Psa 23  The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. {2} He 
   maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside 
   the still waters. {3} He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in 
   the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. {4} Yea, though 
   I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear 
   no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they 
   comfort me. {5} Thou preparest a table before me in the 
   presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my 
   cup runneth over. {6} Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me 
   all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the 
   LORD for ever. 

   Psa 24:3-5   Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who 
   shall stand in his holy place? {4} He that hath clean hands, 
   and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, 
   nor sworn deceitfully. {5} He shall receive the blessing from 
   the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
    
    Psa 25:4-10   Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. {5} 
   Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my 
   salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. {6} Remember, O LORD, 
   thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been 
   ever of old. {7} Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my 
   transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy 
   goodness' sake, O LORD. {8} Good and upright is the LORD: 
   therefore will he teach sinners in the way. {9} The meek will 
   he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. {10} 
   All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep 
   his covenant and his testimonies. 

   Psa 26:1-5  Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine 
   integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall 
   not slide. {2} Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins 
   and my heart. {3} For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: 
   and I have walked in thy truth. {4} I have not sat with vain 
   persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. {5} I have 
   hated the congregation of evildoers; and will not sit with the 
   wicked. 

   Psa 27:1  The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I 
   fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be 
   afraid? 

   Psa 27:7-11   Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have 
   mercy also upon me, and answer me. {8} When thou saidst, Seek 
   ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I 
   seek. {9} Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant 
   away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither 
   forsake me, O God of my salvation. {10} When my father and my 
   mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. {11} Teach me 
   thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine 
   enemies. 

   Psa 27:14   Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall 
   strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. 

   Psa 28:7   The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart 
   trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly 
   rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. 

   Psa 32:10-11   Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that 
   trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about. {11} Be 
   glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, 
   all ye that are upright in heart.
    
   Psa 33:18-22   Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that 
   fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; {19} To deliver 
   their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. {20} 
   Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield. 
   {21} For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have 
   trusted in his holy name. {22} Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon 
   us, according as we hope in thee.
    
   Psa 34:1   I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall 
   continually be in my mouth. {3}  O magnify the LORD with me, 
   and let us exalt his name together. (7} The angel of the LORD 
   encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. 
   {8} O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man 
   that trusteth in him. {9} O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for 
   there is no want to them that fear him. {11} Come, ye children, 
   hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. {12} 
   What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that 
   he may see good? {13} Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips 
   from speaking guile. {14} Depart from evil, and do good; seek 
   peace, and pursue it. {15} The eyes of the LORD are upon the 
   righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. {16} The face 
   of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the 
   remembrance of them from the earth. {17} The righteous cry, and 
   the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their 
   troubles. {18} The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken 
   heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. {19} Many 
   are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth 
   him out of them all. {20} He keepeth all his bones: not one of 
   them is broken. {21} Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that 
   hate the righteous shall be desolate. {22} The LORD redeemeth 
   the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him 
   shall be desolate.
    
   Psa 36:1-10  The transgression of the wicked saith within my 
   heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. {2} For he 
   flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found 
   to be hateful. {3} The words of his mouth are iniquity and 
   deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good. {4} He 
   deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way 
   that is not good; he abhorreth not evil. {5} Thy mercy, O LORD, 
   is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the 
   clouds. {6} Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy 
   judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and 
   beast. {7} How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! 
   therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow 
   of thy wings. {8} They shall be abundantly satisfied with the 
   fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the 
   river of thy pleasures. {9} For with thee is the fountain of 
   life: in thy light shall we see light. {10} O continue thy 
   lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness 
   to the upright in heart. 

   Psa 37  Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou 
   envious against the workers of iniquity. {2} For they shall 
   soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 
   {3} Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the 
   land, and verily thou shalt be fed. {4} Delight thyself also in 
   the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 
   {5} Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he 
   shall bring it to pass. {6} And he shall bring forth thy 
   righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 
   {7} Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not 
   thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of 
   the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. {8} Cease from 
   anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do 
   evil. {9} For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait 
   upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. {10} For yet a 
   little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt 
   diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. {11} But 
   the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves 
   in the abundance of peace. {12} The wicked plotteth against the 
   just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. {13} The Lord shall 
   laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. {14} The 
   wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to 
   cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright 
   conversation. {15} Their sword shall enter into their own 
   heart, and their bows shall be broken. {16} A little that a 
   righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. 
   {17} For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD 
   upholdeth the righteous. {18} The LORD knoweth the days of the 
   upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. {19} They 
   shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of 
   famine they shall be satisfied. {20} But the wicked shall 
   perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of 
   lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. 
   {21} The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the 
   righteous showeth mercy, and giveth. {22} For such as be 
   blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed 
   of him shall be cut off. {23} The steps of a good man are 
   ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. {24} Though 
   he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD 
   upholdeth him with his hand. {25} I have been young, and now am 
   old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed 
   begging bread. {26} He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his 
   seed is blessed. {27} Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell 
   for evermore. {28} For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh 
   not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of 
   the wicked shall be cut off. {29} The righteous shall inherit 
   the land, and dwell therein for ever. {30} The mouth of the 
   righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. 
   {31} The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps 
   shall slide. {32} The wicked watcheth the righteous, and 
   seeketh to slay him. {33} The LORD will not leave him in his 
   hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. {34} Wait on the LORD, 
   and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: 
   when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. {35} I have 
   seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a 
   green bay tree. {36} Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: 
   yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. {37} Mark the 
   perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is 
   peace. {38} But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: 
   the end of the wicked shall be cut off. {39} But the salvation 
   of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the 
   time of trouble. {40} And the LORD shall help them, and deliver 
   them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, 
   because they trust in him. 

   Psa 40:1-10  I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined 
   unto me, and heard my cry. {2} He brought me up also out of an 
   horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a 
   rock, and established my goings. {3} And he hath put a new song 
   in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and 
   fear, and shall trust in the LORD. {4} Blessed is that man that 
   maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor 
   such as turn aside to lies. {5} Many, O LORD my God, are thy 
   wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which 
   are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: 
   if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be 
   numbered. {6} Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; 
   mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering 
   hast thou not required. {7} Then said I, Lo, I come: in the 
   volume of the book it is written of me, {8} I delight to do thy 
   will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. {9} I have 
   preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have 
   not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. {10} I have not 
   hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy 
   faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy 
   lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation. 

   Psa 51:1-17  Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy 
   lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender 
   mercies blot out my transgressions. {2} Wash me thoroughly from 
   mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. {3} For I 
   acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 
   {4} Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil 
   in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou 
   speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. {5} Behold, I was 
   shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. {6} 
   Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the 
   hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. {7} Purge me 
   with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be 
   whiter than snow. {8} Make me to hear joy and gladness; that 
   the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. {9} Hide thy face 
   from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. {10} Create in 
   me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 
   {11} Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy 
   spirit from me. {12} Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; 
   and uphold me with thy free spirit. {13} Then will I teach 
   transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto 
   thee. {14} Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of 
   my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy 
   righteousness. {15} O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth 
   shall show forth thy praise. {16} For thou desirest not 
   sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt 
   offering. {17} The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a 
   broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 

   Psa 63:1-8  O 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; {2} To see thy power and thy 
   glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. {3} Because thy 
   lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. 
   {4} Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my 
   hands in thy name. {5} My soul shall be satisfied as with 
   marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful 
   lips: {6} When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on 
   thee in the night watches. {7} Because thou hast been my help, 
   therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. {8} My 
   soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. 

   Psa 71:4-8   Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the 
   wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. {5} 
   For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my 
   youth. {6} By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou 
   art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall 
   be continually of thee. {7} I am as a wonder unto many; but 
   thou art my strong refuge. {8} Let my mouth be filled with thy 
   praise and with thy honour all the day. {17} O God, thou hast 
   taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy 
   wondrous works. {18} Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O 
   God, forsake me not; until I have showed thy strength unto this 
   generation, and thy power to every one that is to come. {19} 
   Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done 
   great things: O God, who is like unto thee! 
   
   Psa 84:11-12   For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD 
   will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from 
   them that walk uprightly. {12} O LORD of hosts, blessed is the 
   man that trusteth in thee. 

   Psa 86:5-8   For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; 
   and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. {6} 
   Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my 
   supplications. {7} In the day of my trouble I will call upon 
   thee: for thou wilt answer me. {8} Among the gods there is none 
   like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto 
   thy works. {11} Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy 
   truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. {12} I will praise 
   thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy 
   name for evermore. {15} Thou, O Lord, art a God full of 
   compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy 
   and truth. 

   Psa 91:1-12   He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most 
   High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. {2} I will 
   say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in 
   him will I trust. {3} Surely he shall deliver thee from the 
   snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. {4} He 
   shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt 
   thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. {5} Thou 
   shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow 
   that flieth by day; {6} Nor for the pestilence that walketh in 
   darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. {7} 
   A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy 
   right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. {8} Only with 
   thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 
   {9} Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even 
   the most High, thy habitation; {10} There shall no evil befall 
   thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. {11} For 
   he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all 
   thy ways. {12} They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest 
   thou dash thy foot against a stone. 

   Psa 92:12   The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he 
   shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 

   Psa 101  I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, 
   will I sing. {2} I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. 
   O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with 
   a perfect heart. {3} I will set no wicked thing before mine 
   eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not 
   cleave to me. {4} A froward heart shall depart from me: I will 
   not know a wicked person. {5} Whoso privily slandereth his 
   neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a 
   proud heart will not I suffer. {6} Mine eyes shall be upon the 
   faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that 
   walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me. {7} He that 
   worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth 
   lies shall not tarry in my sight. {8} I will early destroy all 
   the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers 
   from the city of the LORD.
    
   Psa 103:8-18   The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to 
   anger, and plenteous in mercy. {9} He will not always chide: 
   neither will he keep his anger for ever. {10} He hath not dealt 
   with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our 
   iniquities. {11} For as the heaven is high above the earth, so 
   great is his mercy toward them that fear him. {12} As far as 
   the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our 
   transgressions from us. {13} Like as a father pitieth his 
   children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. {14} For he 
   knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. {15} As for 
   man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he 
   flourisheth. {16} For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; 
   and the place thereof shall know it no more. {17} But the mercy 
   of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that 
   fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; {18} 
   To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his 
   commandments to do them.
    
   Psa 111:10   The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a 
   good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his 
   praise endureth for ever. 

   Psa 112   Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth 
   the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. {2} His 
   seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright 
   shall be blessed. {3} Wealth and riches shall be in his house: 
   and his righteousness endureth for ever. {4} Unto the upright 
   there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full 
   of compassion, and righteous. {5} A good man showeth favour, 
   and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. {6} 
   Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be 
   in everlasting remembrance. {7} He shall not be afraid of evil 
   tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. {8} His 
   heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his 
   desire upon his enemies. {9} He hath dispersed, he hath given 
   to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn 
   shall be exalted with honour. {10} The wicked shall see it, and 
   be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the 
   desire of the wicked shall perish. 

   Psa 118:6   The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can 
   man do unto me? 

   Psa 118:8-9   It is better to trust in the LORD than to put 
   confidence in man. {9} It is better to trust in the LORD than 
   to put confidence in princes.
    
   Psa 119:1-16  Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in 
   the law of the LORD. {2} Blessed are they that keep his 
   testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. {3} They 
   also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. {4} Thou hast 
   commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. {5} O that my 
   ways were directed to keep thy statutes! {6} Then shall I not 
   be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. {7} 
   I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have 
   learned thy righteous judgments. {8} I will keep thy statutes: 
   O forsake me not utterly. {9}  Wherewithal shall a young man 
   cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. 
   {10} With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not 
   wander from thy commandments. {11} Thy word have I hid in mine 
   heart, that I might not sin against thee. {12} Blessed art 
   thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes. {13} With my lips have I 
   declared all the judgments of thy mouth. {14} I have rejoiced 
   in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. {15} I 
   will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. 
   {16} I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget 
   thy word. 

   Psa 119:33-35   Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and 
   I shall keep it unto the end. {34} Give me understanding, and I 
   shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole 
   heart. {35} Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for 
   therein do I delight. 

   Psa 119:97-104  O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all 
   the day. {98} Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser 
   than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. {99} I have more 
   understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my 
   meditation. {100} I understand more than the ancients, because 
   I keep thy precepts. {101} I have refrained my feet from every 
   evil way, that I might keep thy word. {102} I have not departed 
   from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. {103} How sweet 
   are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my 
   mouth! {104} Through thy precepts I get understanding: 
   therefore I hate every false way. 

   Psa 119:105-106  Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light 
   unto my path. {106} I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I 
   will keep thy righteous judgments.
    
   Psa 119:113-119   I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. 
   {114} Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy 
   word. {115} Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the 
   commandments of my God. {116} Uphold me according unto thy 
   word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. 
   {117} Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have 
   respect unto thy statutes continually. {118} Thou hast trodden 
   down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is 
   falsehood. {119} Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth 
   like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. 

   Psa 119:124-125   Deal with thy servant according unto thy 
   mercy, and teach me thy statutes. {125} I am thy servant; give 
   me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. 

   Psa 119:127   Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; 
   yea, above fine gold. {130} The entrance of thy words giveth 
   light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. {133} Order my 
   steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over 
   me. {144} The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: 
   give me understanding, and I shall live. {162} I rejoice at thy 
   word, as one that findeth great spoil. {163} I hate and abhor 
   lying: but thy law do I love. {165} Great peace have they which 
   love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. {169} Let my cry 
   come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according 
   to thy word. 

   Psa 119:173-176   Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy 
   precepts. {174} I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and 
   thy law is my delight. {175} Let my soul live, and it shall 
   praise thee; and let thy judgments help me. {176} I have gone 
   astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget 
   thy commandments. 

   Psa 138:6   Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto 
   the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. 

   Psa 139:1-8  O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. {2} 
   Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou 
   understandest my thought afar off. {3} Thou compassest my path 
   and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. {4} For 
   there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest 
   it altogether. {5} Thou hast beset me behind and before, and 
   laid thine hand upon me. {6} Such knowledge is too wonderful 
   for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. {7} Whither shall 
   I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy 
   presence? {8} If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I 
   make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 

   Psa 139:21-24   Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and 
   am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? {22} I 
   hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. {23} 
   Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my 
   thoughts: {24} And see if there be any wicked way in me, and 
   lead me in the way everlasting. 

   Psa 141:3-4   Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the 
   door of my lips. {4} Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to 
   practice wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me 
   not eat of their dainties. 

   Psa 142  I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice 
   unto the LORD did I make my supplication. {2} I poured out my 
   complaint before him; I showed before him my trouble. {3} When 
   my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. 
   In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for 
   me. {4} I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no 
   man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my 
   soul. {5} I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge 
   and my portion in the land of the living. {6} Attend unto my 
   cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; 
   for they are stronger than I. {7} Bring my soul out of prison, 
   that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me 
   about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me. 

   Psa 143:10   Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy 
   spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
