141 Small I, and slighted am: thy Laws
forget yet do not I.

and I'le thy Laws fulfill.
147 The dawning I prevent, and cry:
thy Word I hope theron.
148 Mine e [...]es prevent the watch, that I
might m [...]e thy Word upon.
149 As thou art Kind, my voice LORD hea [...]

for thy Laws seek not they.
156 Great are thy Mercies, LORD revive
mee in thy Judgments way.
157 My troublers many, and my foes:
nought from thy Laws I stept.
158 I sinners saw, and griev'd, because
thy Word they have not kept.
159 Mark how I love thy Precepts; LORD
revive me by thy Grace.
160 Thy Word from first is Truth, and all
thy Judgments just alwayes.

but love thy Law most dear.
164 Seven times a day I praise thee, for
thy Judgments just which are.
[Page 274]
165 Great peace have they yt love thy Law
and stumbling block have none.
166 LORD, I for thy salvation hope:
and thy Commands have done.
167 My soul thy Testimonies keeps:

168 Thy Rules, and Laws, I kept, for all
my wayes before thee are.
(XXII)
Thau.TO thee LORD let my cry come near:
wise by thy Word make mee.
170 Thee let my humble suit approach,
me by thy Word set free.
171 Thy Statutes when thou hast me taught▪
my lips praise utter shall.
172 Thy Word my tongue shall forth resound.
for just thy Laws are all.
173 Thy Precepts fith I chosen have:
O help me by thy might.
174 Thy saving health I long for LORD:
thy Law is my delight.
175 Thy praise to shew, let my soul live,
thy Judgments help me let.
176 Thy servant seek, like lost sheep strayd,
thy Laws I'le not forget.
