But seeks to know thy judgements, Lord,
and what may please thee best.

¶Lord, turn from me rebuke and shame
which wicked men conspire:
For I have kept thy covenants,
with zeal as hot as fire.
28
My soul I feel so sore opprest,
that it doth melt for grief:
According to thy word therefore,
Lord, haste to send relief.
35
¶In righteous paths of thy precepts,
Lord, guide me, I require:
None other pleasure do I wish,
nor greater thing desire.
36
¶Incline my heart thy laws to keep,
and covenants to embrace:
And from all filthy avarice,
Lord, shield me with thy grace.
37
¶From vain desires and worldly lusts,
turn back mine eyes and sight:
Give me the spirit of life and power,
to walk thy wayes aright.
39
Reproach and shame which I so fear,
from me, O Lord, expell:
For thou dost judge with equity,
and therein doth excell.

that it perform I may.
