,r> I am horribly afraid for the ungodly that forsake thy law.

6 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

7 I have thought upon thy Name, O Lord, in the night-season; and have kept thy law.

8 This I had, because I kept thy commandments.

THOU art my portion, O Lord; I have promised to keep thy law.

2 I made my horrible petition in thy presence with my whole heart: O be merciful unto me, according to thy word.

3 I called mine own ways to remembrance, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.

4 I made haste, and prolonged not the time to keep thy commandments.

5 The congregations of the ungodly have robbed me; but I have not forgotten thy law.

6 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee ;' because of thy righteous judgments.

7 I am a companion of all them that fear thee and keep thy commandments.

8 The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: O teach me thy statutes.
