Before that I was made meek, I trespassed; therefore I kept thy speech.
68
Thou art good; and in thy good-ness teach thou me thy justifyings.
69
The wickedness of them that be proud, is multiplied on me; but in all mine heart I shall seek thy behests.

It is good to me, that thou hast made me meek; that I learn thy justi-fyings.
72
The law out of thy mouth is better to me; than thousands of gold and silver.

84
How many be the days of thy servant; when thou shalt make doom of them that pursue me?

Wicked men told to me janglings; but not as thy law.
86
All thy commandments be truth; wicked men have pursued me, help thou me.

Almost they ended me in [the] earth; but I forsook not thy command-ments.
88
By thy mercy quicken thou me; and I shall keep the witnessings of thy mouth.
