But 169 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 3: I will meditate in thy precepts. Let those that fear 170 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 3: THEE turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies. 171 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 3: Let my heart be sound in thy statutes, that I 172 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 3: be not ashamed. My soul fainteth for thy salvation. But 173 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 3: I hope in thy word. Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, 174 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 3: when wilt thou comfort me? For I am become like 175 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 3: a bottle in the smoke. Yet do I not forget 176 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 3: thy statutes? How many are the days of thy servant? 177 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 3: When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? 178 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 3: The proud hath digged pits for me, which are not 179 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 3: afar thy law. All thy commandments are faithful. They persecute 180 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 3: me wrongfully help thou me. They had almost consumed me 181 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 3: upon earth. But I forstook not only thy precepts quicken 182 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 3: me after thy loving kindness. So shall I keep the 183 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 3: testimony of thy mouth forever, O Lord, Thy word is 184 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 3: settled in heaven. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations. Thou 185 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 3: hast established the earth, and it abideth. They continue this 186 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 3: day according to Thine ordinances. For all are they servants. 187 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 3: Unless Thy law had been my delights, I should then 188 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 3: have perished in mine affliction. I will never forget thy precepts, 189 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 3: For with them thou hast quickened me. I am thine 190 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 3: save me, For I have sought thy precepts. The wicked 191 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 3: have waited for me to destroy me. But I will 192 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 3: consider thy testimonies. I have seen an end of all perfection. 193 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 3: But thy commandment is exceedingly broad. Oh, how I love 194 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 3: thy law. It is my meditation all the day. Thou, 195 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 3: through thy commandments, hast made me wiser than mine enemies, 196 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 3: for they are never with me. I have more understanding 197 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 3: than all my teachers. For thy testimonies are my meditation. 198 00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 3: I understand more than the ancients. Because I keep thy precepts. 199 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 3: I have refrained my feet from every evil way that 200 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 3: I might keep thy word. I have not departed from 201 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 3: thy judgments. For thou hast taught me how sweet are 202 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 3: thy words unto my taste? Yea sweeter than honey to 203 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 3: my mouth. Through thy precepts, I get understanding. Therefore I 204 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 3: hate every false way. Thy word is a lamp unto 205 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 3: my feet, and a light unto my path. I have sworn, 206 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 3: and I will perform it, that I will keep thy 207 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 3: righteous judgments. I am afflicted very much. Quicken me, O Lord, 208 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 3: according to thy word, except I beseech thee the free 209 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 3: will offerings of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me 210 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 3: thy judgments. My soul is continually in my hand. Yet 211 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 3: do I not forget thy law. The wicked have laid 212 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 3: a snare for me. Yet I erred not from thy precepts. 213 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 3: Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage forever, for 214 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 3: they are the rejoicing of my heart. I have inclined 215 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 3: mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end. 216 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 3: I hate vain thoughts, but thy law do I love. 217 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 3: Thou art my hiding place and my shield. I hope 218 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 3: in thy word. Depart from me, ye, evil doers, for 219 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 3: I will keep the commandments of my God. Uphold me 220 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 3: according to thy word, that I may live, and let 221 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 3: me not be ashamed of my hope. Hold thou me up, 222 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 3: and I shall be safe, and I will have respect 223 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 3: unto thy statutes. Continually, Thou hast trodden down all them 224 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 3: that err from thy statutes, for their deceit is falsehood. 225 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 3: Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross. 226 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 3: Therefore I love thy testimonies. My flesh trembleth for fear 227 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 3: of thee, and I am afraid of thy judgments. I 228 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 3: have done judgment and justice. Leave me not to mine 229 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 3: oppressors be surely for thy servant for good. Let not 230 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 3: the proud oppress me mine eyes fail, for thy salvation 231 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 3: and for the word of thy righteousness.

It is time for thee Lord to work, 235 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 3: for they have made void thy law. Therefore I love 236 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 3: thy commandments above gold, yea above fine gold. Therefore I 237 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 3: esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right, 238 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 3: and I hate every false way.
