Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom
- 10 -
103. How sweet to my palate are Thy sayings! more sweet than honey to my
mouth.
104. From Thy commandments have I gained understanding; therefore have I
hated every way of unrighteousness.
105. Thy law is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my paths.
106. I have sworn and resolved that I will keep the judgements of Thy
righteousness.
107. I was humbled exceedingly; O Lord, quicken me according to Thy word.
108. The free-will offerings of my mouth be Thou now pleased to receive, O
Lord, and teach me Thy judgements.
109. My soul is in Thy hands continually, and Thy law have I not forgotten.
110. Sinners have set a snare for me, yet from Thy commandment have I not
strayed.
111. I have inherited Thy testimonies for ever, for they are the rejoicing of my
heart.
112. I have inclined my heart to perform Thy statutes for ever for a recompense.
113. Transgressors have I hated, but Thy law have I loved.
114. My helper and my protector art Thou; on Thy words have I set my hope.
115. Depart from me, ye evil-doers, and I will search out the commandments of
my God.
116. Uphold me according to Thy saying and quicken me, and turn me not away
in shame from mine expectation.
117. Help me, and I shall be saved; and I will meditate on Thy statutes
continually.
118. Thou hast set at nought all that depart from Thy statutes, for unrighteous is
their inward thought.
119. I have reckoned as transgressors all the sinners of the earth, therefore have I
loved Thy testimonies.
120. Nail down my flesh with the fear of Thee, for of Thy judgements am I
afraid.
121. I have wrought judgement and righteousness; O give me not up to them that
wrong me.
