Translation

because in them you shall invigorate me./ I am yours save me:/ because I have sought out your just-dealings./ Sinners have waited for me to destroy me:/ I understood your testimonies./ I have seen the end of all perfection:/ your commandment is exceeding large./


Psalm 118 :98
(You have made me) wise above my enemies

HOW/ I have loved your law/ lord:/ it is my contemplation all the day./ You have made me wise above my enemies/ by your commandment: because it is ever with me./ I have understood more than all who taught me:/ because your testimonies are my contemplation./ I have understood more than the elders: because I have sought your commandments./ I have restrained my feet from every evil way:/
