O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land where no water is; to see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
Seven times a day do I praise thee, because of thy righteous judgements. Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
Show me thy ways, O Lord, teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth and teach me, for thou art the God of my salvation, on thee do I wait all the day.
Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
Order my steps in thy word; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that blackbiteth not with is tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned, but he honoureth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt , and changed not. He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemeer. Amen.
