DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken me according to thy word. I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes. Make me to understand the way of thy commandments: and I will meditate of thy wondrous works. My soul melteth with very heaviness: raise me up according unto thy word. Take from me the way of lying: and grant me graciously thy law. I have chosen the way of truth: and thy judgements have I laid before me. I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O Lord confound me not. I will run the way of thy commandments: when thou shalt enlarge mine heart.
