I have considered your ways, and I have turned my feet into your testimonies.
I am prepared, and I am not troubled, so as to keep your commandments.
The cords of the wicked have surrounded me, and I have not forgotten your law.
At midnight I rose to confess to you, upon the judgments of your justification.

You are good, and in your goodness teach me your justifications.
The iniquity of the proud has been multiplied over me, but with my whole heart I will seek your commandments.

The law of your mouth is better for me than thousands in gold and silver.

as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
