My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.

My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.

My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.

My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.

My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.

My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.

My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.

My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.

My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.

My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.

My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.
