 25  My soul to dust cleaves: quicken me,
        according to thy word.
 26  My ways I showed, and me thou heard'st:
        teach me thy statutes, Lord.
 27  The way of thy commandements
        make me aright to know;
     So all thy works that wondrous are
        I shall to others show.

 28  My soul doth melt, and drop away,
        for heaviness and grief:
     To me, according to thy word,
        give strength, and send relief.
 29  From me the wicked way of lies
        let far removèd be;
     And graciously thy holy law
        do thou grant unto me.

 30  I chosen have the perfect way
        of truth and verity:
     Thy judgments that most righteous are
        before me laid have I.
 31  I to thy testimonies cleave;
        shame do not on me cast.
32   I'll run thy precepts' way, when thou
        my heart enlargèd hast.
