Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, |
| 5 |

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. |
| 8 |
The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. |
| 9 |
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. |

| 14 |
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. |
