46
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 2: in the way who walk with the law of the Lord.

47
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: Blessed are those that keep his testimonies, and that seek

48
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 2: Him with the whole heart. They also do no iniquity.

49
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 2: They walk in His ways. Thou hast commanded us to

50
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 2: keep thy precept diligently, Oh that my ways were directed

51
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: to keep thy statutes. Then shall I not be ashamed.

52
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 2: When I have respect unto all thy commandments. I will

53
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: praise THEE with uprightness of heart. When I shall have

54
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 2: learned thy righteous judgments, I will keep thy statutes. O

55
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: forsake me not utterly, wherewithal shall a young man cleanse

56
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: his way by taking heed THERETO according to Thy word,

57
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: with my whole heart have I sought thee O. Let

58
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 2: me not wander from thy commandments. Thy woe have I

59
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: hid in mine heart that I might not sin against

60
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: thee blessed art Thou, o Lord, teach me thy statutes

61
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 2: with my lips. I have declared all the judgments of

62
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 2: thy mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of thy

63
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: testimonies as much as in all riches. I will meditate

64
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 2: in thy precepts and have respect unto thy ways. I

65
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 2: will delight myself in thy statutes. I will not forget

66
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: thy word. Deal bountifully with thy servant that I may

67
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: live and keep thy word open Thou mine eyes, that

68
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. I

69
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: am a stranger in the earth. Hide not thy commandments

70
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: from me. My soul breaketh for the longing that it

71
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: hath unto Thy judgments at all times. Thou hast rebuked

72
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 2: the proud that accursed, which do err from thy commandments.

73
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 2: Remove me from reproach and contempt, for I have kept

74
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 2: thy testimonies. Princes also did sit and speak against me,

75
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. Thy testimonies

76
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 2: also are my delight, and my counselors, my soul, cleaveth

77
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 2: unto the dust. Quicken thou me according to thy word.

78
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: I have declared my ways, and thou hurtest me. Teach

79
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 2: me thy statutes. Make me to understand the way of

80
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 2: thy precepts. So shall I talk of thy wondrous works.

81
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 2: My soul melteth for heaviness. Strengthen thou me according to

82
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 2: thy word. Remove from me the way of lying, and

83
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 2: grant me thy law graciously. I have chosen the way

84
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 2: of truth. Thy judgments have I laid before me. I

85
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: have stuck unto thy testimonies. O Lord, put me not

86
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: to shame. I will run the way of thy commandments

87
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 2: when thou shalt enlarge my heart. Teach me, O Lord,

88
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 2: the way of thy statutes, and I shall keep it

89
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: unto the end. Give me understanding, and I shall keep

90
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 2: thy law. Yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

91
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: Make me to go in the path of thy commandments,

92
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: For therein do I delight. Incline my heart unto thy testimonies,

93
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 2: and not to covetousness. Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity,

94
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: and quicken thou me in thy way. Establish thy word

95
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: unto thy servant who is devoted to thy fear, turn

96
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 2: away my reproach which I fear, for thy judgments are good. Behold,

97
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: I have longed after Thy precepts quicken me and thy righteousness.

98
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 2: Let thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord, even

99
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: thy salvation according to thy word. So shall I have

100
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 2: wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me. For I trust

101
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: in thy word, And take not the word of truth

102
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: utterly out of my mouth. For I have hoped in

103
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: thy judgments. So shall I keep Thy law continually, forever

104
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: and ever. And I will walk at liberty, for I

105
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: seek thy precepts. I will speak of thy testimonies also

106
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: before kings, and will not be ashamed. And I will

107
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 2: delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. My

108
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: hands also will lift up unto Thy commandments which I

109
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: have loved, and I will meditate in thy statutes. Remember

110
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused

111
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction,

112
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 2: For thy word hath quickened me. The proud have had

113
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: me greatly in derision. Yet have I not declined from

114
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 2: thy law. I remembered Thy judgments of all old O Lord,

115
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: and have comforted myself. Horror hath taken hold upon me

116
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 2: because of the wicked that forsake thy law. Thy statutes

117
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

118
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 2: I have remembered thy name, O Lord, in the night,

119
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 2: and have kept thy law. This I had because I

120
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 2: kept thy precepts. Thou art my portion, O Lord, I

121
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 2: have said that I would keep thy words. I entreated

122
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: thy favor with my whole heart. Be merciful unto me

123
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: according to thy word, I thought on my ways and

124
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 2: turned my feet unto thy testimonies. I made haste and delayed,

125
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: not to keep thy commandments. The bands of the wicked

126
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 2: have robbed me, but I have not forgotten thy law.

127
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 2: At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto THEE.

128
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: Because of thy righteous judgments. I am a companion of

129
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 2: all them that fear THEE, and of them that keep

130
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 2: thy precepts. The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy.

131
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: Teach me thy statutes. Thou hast dwelt well with thy servant,

132
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 2: O Lord, according unto thy word. Teach me good judgment

133
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 2: and knowledge. For I have believed thy commandments before I

134
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 2: was afflicted. I went astray, But now have I kept

135
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 2: thy word. Thou art good, and doest good. Teach me

136
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: thy statutes. The proud have forged a lie against me,

137
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 2: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.

138
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 2: Their heart is as fat as Greece. But I delight

139
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: in thy law. It is good for me that I

140
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: have been afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes. The

141
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 2: law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands

142
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: of gold and silver. Thy hands have made me and

143
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: fashioned me. Give me understanding that I may learn thy commandments.

144
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: They that fear THEE will be glad when they see me,

145
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 2: because I have hoped in thy word. I know, O Lord,

146
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,239
Speaker 2: that thy judgments are right, and that Thou, in faithfulness,

147
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 2: hast afflicted me. Let I pray THEE Thy merciful kindness

148
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: be for my comfort according to thy word, unto thy servant.

149
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 2: Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live,

150
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 2: for Thy law is my delight. Let the proud be ashamed,

151
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 2: for they dealt perversely with me without a cause. But

152
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: I will meditate in thy precepts. Let those that fear

153
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: THEE turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.

154
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 2: Let my heart be sound in thy statutes, that I

155
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 2: be not ashamed. My soul fainteth for thy salvation. But

156
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: I hope in thy word. Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying,

157
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 2: when wilt thou comfort me? For I am become like

158
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 2: a bottle in the smoke. Yet do I not forget

159
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 2: thy statutes? How many are the days of thy servant?

160
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 2: When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

161
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: The proud hath digged pits for me, which are not

162
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 2: afar thy law. All thy commandments are faithful. They persecute

163
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 2: me wrongfully help thou me. They had almost consumed me

164
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 2: upon earth. But I forstook not only thy precepts quicken

165
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 2: me after thy loving kindness. So shall I keep the

166
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 2: testimony of thy mouth forever, O Lord, Thy word is

167
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 2: settled in heaven. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations. Thou

168
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 2: hast established the earth, and it abideth They continue this

169
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 2: day according to Thine ordinances, For all are they servants.

170
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 2: Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then

171
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: have perished in mine affliction. I will never forget thy precepts,

172
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 2: for with them thou hast quickened me. I am thine

173
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 2: save me, For I have sought thy precepts. The wicked

174
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 2: have waited for me to destroy me. But I consider

175
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 2: thy testimonies. I have seen an end of all perfection.

176
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 2: But thy commandment is exceedingly broad. O, how I love

177
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 2: thy law. It is my meditation all the day. Thou,

178
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 2: through thy commandments, hast made me wiser than mine enemies,

179
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 2: for they are never with me. I have more understanding

180
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: than all my teachers. For thy testimonies are my meditation.

181
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 2: I understand more than the ancients. Because I keep thy precepts.

182
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 2: I have refrained my feet from every evil way that

183
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 2: I might keep thy word. I have not departed from

184
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 2: thy judgments. For thou hast taught me how sweet are

185
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 2: thy words unto my taste? Yea sweeter than honey to

186
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 2: my mouth. Through thy precepts, I get understanding. Therefore I

187
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: hate every false way. Thy word is a lamp unto

188
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 2: my feet and a light unto my path. I have

189
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 2: sworn and I will perform it, that I will keep

190
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 2: thy righteous judgments. I am afflicted very much. Quicken me, O, Lord,

191
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 2: according to thy word, except I beseech thee the free

192
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: will offerings of my mouth, o Lord, and teach me

193
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: thy judgments. My soul is continually in my hand. Yet

194
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 2: do I not forget thy law. The wicked have laid

195
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 2: a snare for me. Yet I erred not from thy precepts.

196
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 2: Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage forever, for

197
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: they are the rejoicing of my heart. I have inclined

198
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 2: mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end.

199
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 2: I hate vain thoughts, but thy law do I love.

200
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: Thou art my hiding place and my shield. I hope

201
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: in thy word depart from me, ye evil doers, for

202
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: I will keep the commandments of my God. Uphold me

203
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 2: according to thy word, that I may live, and let

204
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 2: me not be ashamed of my hope. Hold thou me up,

205
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: and I shall be safe, and I will have respect

206
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: unto thy statutes. Continually, Thou hast trodden down all them

207
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: that err from thy statutes, for their deceit is falsehood.

208
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross.

209
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 2: Therefore I love thy testimonies. My flesh trembleth for fear

210
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 2: of thee, and I am afraid of thy judgments. I

211
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 2: have done judgment and justice. Leave me not to mine oppressors.

212
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: Be surely for thy servant for good. Let not the

213
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 2: proud oppress me Mine eyes fail for thy salvation and

214
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 2: for the word of thy righteousness. Deal with thy servant

215
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. I

216
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: am thy servant. Give me understanding that I may know

217
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 2: thy testimonies. It is time for thee Lord to work,

218
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 2: for they have made void thy law. Therefore I thy

219
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 2: commandments above gold, yea above fine gold. Therefore I esteem

220
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 2: all thy precepts concerning all things to be right, and

221
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 2: I hate every false way. Thy testimonies are wonderful. Therefore

222
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 2: doth my soul keep them. The entrance of thy words

223
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: giveth life. The entrance of thy words giveth light. It

224
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 2: giveth understanding. Unto the simple, I opened my mouth and

225
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 2: panted for I longed for thy commandments. Look thou upon me,

226
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 2: and be merciful unto me as thou usest to do

227
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 2: unto those that love thy name. Order my steps in

228
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 2: thy world. And let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

Speaker 2: servant and teach me thy statutes. Rivers of waters run

232
00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 2: down mine eyes because they keep not thy law. Righteous

233
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: art thou, o Lord, and upright are thy judgments. Thy

234
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 2: testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.

235
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 2: My zeal hath consumed me because mine enemies have forgotten

236
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 2: thy words. Thy word is very pure. Therefore thy servant

237
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 2: loveth it. I am small and despised, Yet do I

238
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: not forget thy precepts. Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,

239
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 2: and thy law is the truth. Trouble and anguish have

240
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: taken hold on me, Yet thy commandments are my delights.

00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 2: The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting. Give me understanding,

242
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 2: and I shall live. I cried with my whole heart.

243
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 2: Hear me, O Lord, I will keep thy statutes. I

244
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 2: cried unto thee save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.

245
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 2: I prevented the drowning of the morning, and cried. I

246
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 2: hoped in thy word mine eyes prevent the night watter

247
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,959
Speaker 2: that I might meditate in thy word. Hear my voice.

248
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 2: According unto thy loving kindness, O Lord, quicken me. According

249
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: to thy judgment. They draw nigh that follow after mischief.

250
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 2: They are far from thy law. Thou art near, o Lord,

251
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 2: and all thy commandments are truth. Concerning thy testimonies, I

252
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 2: have known of old that thou hast founded them. Forever,

253
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: consider mine affliction and deliver me. For I do not

254
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 2: forget thy law. Plead my cause and deliver me. Quicken

255
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 2: me according to thy word. Salvation is far from wicked,

256
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: for they seek not thy statutes. Great are thy tender mercies,

257
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 2: O Lord, Quicken me according to thy judgments. Many are

258
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 2: my persecutors and mine enemies. Yet do I not decline

259
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: from thy testimonies. I beheld the transgressors and was grieved

260
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: because they kept not thy word. Consider how I love

261
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 2: them thy precepts. Quicken me, O Lord, according to thy

262
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 2: loving kindness. Thy word is true from the beginning, and

263
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 2: every one of thy righteous judgments endureth forever. Princes have

264
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 2: persecuted me without a cause, But my heart standeth in

265
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 2: awe of thy word. I rejoice at thy word as

266
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 2: one that findeth great spoil. I hate an abhor lying,

267
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 2: but thy law do I love. Seven times a day

268
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 2: do I praise THEE because of thy righteous judgments. Great

269
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 2: peace have they which love Thy law, and nothing shall

270
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: offend them. Lord, I have hoped for thy salvation and

271
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 2: done thy commandments. My soul hath kept thy testimonies, and

272
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 2: I loved them exceedingly. I have kept thy precepts and

273
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 2: thy testimonies. For all my ways are before THEE. Let

274
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 2: my cry come near before THEE. O Lord, give me

275
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 2: understanding according to thy word. Let my supplication come before THEE.

276
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 2: Deliver me according to thy word. My lips shall utter praise.

277
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 2: When thou hast taught me thy statutes. My tongue shall

278
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 2: speak of thy word. For all thy commandments are righteousness.

279
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 2: Let Thine hand help me, for I have chosen thy precepts.

280
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 2: I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord, and thy

281
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 2: law is my delight. Let my soul live and it

282
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: shall praise THEE. And let thy judgments help me. I

283
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 2: have gone astray like a lost sheep. Seek thy servant,

284
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,479
Speaker 2: for I do not forget thy commandments. God's laws are

285
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 2: old treasures that make our hearts new. So tonight, put
