Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom
- 6 -
75. I have known, O Lord, that Thy judgements are righteousness, and with truth
hast Thou humbled me.
76. Let now Thy mercy be my comfort, according to Thy saying unto Thy servant.
77. Let Thy compassions come upon me and I shall live, for Thy law is my
meditation.
78. Let the proud be put to shame, for unjustly have they transgressed against me;
but as for me, I will ponder on Thy commandments.
79. Let those that fear Thee return unto me, and those that know Thy testimonies.
80. Let my heart be blameless in Thy statutes, that I may not be put to shame.
81. My soul fainteth for Thy salvation; on Thy words have I set my hope.
82. Mine eyes are grown dim with waiting for Thine oracle; they say: When wilt
Thou comfort me?
83. For I am become like a wine-skin in the frost; yet Thy statutes have I not
forgotten.
84. How many are the days of Thy servant? When wilt Thou execute judgement for
me on them that persecute me?
85. Transgressors have told me fables, but they are not like Thy law, O Lord.
86. All Thy commandments are truth. Without a cause have men persecuted me; do
Thou help me.
87. They well nigh made an end of me on the earth; but as for me, I forsook not
Thy commandments.
88. According to Thy mercy quicken me, and I will keep the testimonies of Thy
mouth.
89. For ever, O Lord, Thy word abideth in heaven.
90. Unto generation and generation is Thy truth; Thou hast laid the foundation of
the earth, and it abideth.
91. By Thine ordinance doth the day abide, for all things are Thy servants.
92. If Thy law had not been my meditation, then should I have perished in my
humiliation.
93. I will never forget Thy statutes, for in them hast Thou quickened me.
