Hear Us, Shepherd (80)

`I have done_ what is / just and righteous.

`Do not leave me to_ / my oppressors.

En `sure the well_ being / of your servant.

`Do not let the proud op / press~ me.

`My eyes long for / your salvation,

`for your / righteous word.

`Deal_ with your servant ac_ cording to your / loving kindness.

`Teach_ / me your statutes.

(Ref)

`I_ am your servant. Give me / understanding,

`that I may know / your decrees.

`It is time to / act~, LORD,

`for they / break your law.

`Since I love_ your commandments / more than gold,

`more than / pure~ gold,

I `carefully_ follow / all your precepts,

and `hate_ ev’ry / false~ way.
