²⁵My soul to dust cleaves: quicken me,

according to thy word.

²⁶My ways I shew'd, and me thou heard'st:

teach me thy statutes, Lord.

²⁷The way of thy commandements

make me aright to know;

So all thy works that wondrous are

I shall to others show.

²⁸My soul doth melt, and drop away,

for heaviness and grief:

To me, according to thy word,

give strength, and send relief.

²⁹From me the wicked way of lies

let far removed be;

And graciously thy holy law

do thou grant unto me.

³⁰I chosen have the perfect way

of truth and verity:

Thy judgments that most righteous are

before me laid have I.

³¹I to thy testimonies cleave;

shame do not on me cast.

³²I'll run thy precepts' way, when thou

my heart enlarged hast.
