DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou… DALETH My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word. I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes. Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word. {melteth: Heb. droppeth} Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid {before me}. I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame. I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart. HE. 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 observe it with {my} whole heart. Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight. Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; {and} quicken thou me in thy way. {Turn…: Heb. Make to pass} Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who {is devoted} to thy fear. Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments {are} good. Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness. VAU. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, {even} thy salvation, according to thy word. So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. {So…: or, So shall I answer him that reproveth me in a thing} And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever. And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. {at liberty: Heb. at large} I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.
