Portio mea Domine.

THou art my portion, O Lord: I haue promised to keepe thy Law.

I made my humble petitiō in thy presence with my whole heart: O be mercifull vnto me according to thy word.

I called mine owne waies to remembrance: and turned my feete vnto thy testimonies.

I made haste, and prolonged not the time: to keepe thy commandements.

The congregation of the vngodly haue robbed me: but I haue not forgotten thy Law.

At midnight I will rise to giue thankes vnto thee: because of thy righteous iudgements.

I am a companion of all them that feare thee: and keepe thy commandements.

The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercie: O tearh mee thy statutes.
