Adhaesit pavimento
My soul cleaveth to the dust;
O quicken thou me, according
to thy word.
I have acknowledged my ways, and thou heardest
me;
O teach me thy statutes.
Make me to understand the way of thy commandments, and so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
My soul melteth away for very heaviness;
comfort
thou me according unto thy word.
Take from me the way of lying, and cause thou me to make much of thy law.
I have chosen the way of truth, and thy judgements have I laid before me.
I have stuck unto thy testimonies;
O Lord, confound
me not.
I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou hast set my heart at liberty.
Legem pone
Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes, and I shall keep it unto the end.
Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy
law;
yea, I shall keep it with my whole heart.
Make me to go
in the path of thy commandments;
for therein is my desire.
Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
O turn away mine eyes, lest they behold vanity;
and
quicken thou me in thy way.
O stablish thy word in thy servant, that I may fear thee.
Take away the rebuke that I am
afraid of;
for thy judgements are good.
Behold, my delight is
in thy commandments;
O quicken me in thy righteousness.
Et veniat super me
Let thy loving mercy come also unto me, O Lord, even thy salvation, according unto thy word.
So shall I make answer
unto my blasphemers;
for my trust is in thy word.
O take not
the word of thy truth utterly out of my mouth;
for my hope
is in thy judgements.
So shall I always keep thy law, yea, for ever and ever.
And I will walk at liberty;
for I seek thy commandments.
I will speak of thy testimonies also, even before
kings, and will not be ashamed.
And my delight shall be in thy commandments, which I have loved.
My hands also will
I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved;
and
my study shall be in thy statutes.
