41 Let thy mercies come also unto me r, O LORD; even thy salvation according to thy word.
42 ‖ So shall I have wherewithal to answer him that reproacheth me s: for I trust in thy word t.
43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth t; for I have hoped in thy judgments u.
44 So shall I keep thy law continually x, for ever and ever.
45 And I will walk † at liberty y: for I seek thy precepts.
46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings z, and will not be ashamed.
47 And I will delight my self in thy com∣mandments a which I have loved.
48 My hands also will I lift up b unto thy commandments which I have loved: and I will meditate in thy statutes c.
Do not deal so with me, that I shall be altogether asha∣med to mention thy word, which I have so often affirmed to be a word of truth and infallible certainty, of which I have often made my boast.
Either in thy word and promises, or in thy judicial administrations and government of the world, which as it is matter of terrour to the wicked, so it is matter of comfort and hope to me.
Or, I shall walk at large, as it is in the margent; I shall be delivered from all my present straits both of the outward and inward man, and enjoy great freedom and comfort in thy ways.
Whereas other Princes place their delight in the glories and vanities of this world, and the study and practice of Religion is generally irksom and loathsom to them, thy Law shall be my chief delight and recreation.
To lay hold upon them, to receive and embrace thy precepts and promises by faith and love, and chearfully and vigorously to put them in practice: for as the hanging down of the hands is a gesture of sloth and listlesness, as 2 Chron. 15. 7. and elsewhere; so the lifting up of the hands is the posture of a man entring upon action, as Gen. 41. 44. 2 Sam. 20. 21.
