The day continues by thy arrangement; for all things are thy servants.

Psalms
Were it not that thy law is my meditation, then I should have perished in mine affliction.
I will never forget thine ordinances; for with them thou hast quickened me.
I am thine, save me; for I have sought out thine ordinances.
Sinners laid wait for me to destroy me; [but] I understood thy testimonies.
I have seen an end of all perfection; [but] thy commandment is very broad.
How I have loved thy law, O Lord! it is my meditation all the day.
Thou hast made me wiser than mine enemies [in] thy commandment; for it is mine for ever.
I have more understanding than all my teachers; for thy testimonies are my meditation.
I understand more than the aged; because I have sought out thy commandments.
I have kept back my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy words.
I have not declined from thy judgments; for thou hast instructed me.
How sweet are thine oracles to my throat! more so than honey to my mouth!
I gain understanding by thy commandments: therefore I have hated every way of unrighteousness.
Thy law is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths.
I have sworn and determined to keep the judgments of thy righteousness.
I have been very greatly afflicted, O Lord: quicken me, according to thy word.

I have hated transgressors; but I have loved thy law.
Thou art my helper and my supporter; I have hoped in thy words.
Depart from me, ye evil-doers; for I will search out the commandments of my God.
Uphold me according to thy word, and quicken me; and make me not ashamed of my expectation.
Help me, and I shall be saved; and I will meditate in thine ordinances continually.
Thou hast brought to nought all that depart from thine ordinances; for their inward thought is unrighteous.
I have reckoned all the sinners of the earth as transgressors; therefore have I loved thy testimonies.

Let my lips utter a hymn, when thou shalt have taught me thine ordinances.
Let my tongue utter thine oracles; for all thy commandments are righteous.
Let thine hand be [prompt] to save me; for I have chosen thy commandments.
I have longed after thy salvation, O Lord; and thy law is my meditation.
My soul shall live, and shall praise thee; and thy judgments shall help me.

A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he hearkened to me.
Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
What should be given to thee, and what should be added to thee, for [thy] crafty tongue?
Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.
Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled among the tents of Kedar.
My soul has long been a sojourner;
I was peaceable among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.
A Song of Degrees. I lifted up mine eyes to the mountains, whence my help shall come.
My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
Let not thy foot be moved; and let not thy keeper slumber.
Behold, he that keeps Israel shall not slumber nor sleep.
The Lord shall keep thee: the Lord is thy shelter upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not burn thee by day, neither the moon by night.
May the Lord preserve thee from all evil: the Lord shall keep thy soul.
