American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
ק QOPH.I have called with my whole heart; answer me, O Jehovah:I will keep thy statutes.
I have called unto thee; save me,And I shall observe thy testimonies.
I anticipated the dawning of the morning, and cried:I hoped in thy words.
Mine eyes anticipated the night-watches,That I might meditate on thy word.
Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness:Quicken me, O Jehovah, {Or, as thou art wont}according to thine ordinances.
They draw nigh {Or, that persecute me with wickedness}that follow after wickedness;They are far from thy law.
Thou art nigh, O Jehovah;And all thy commandments are truth.
Of old have I known from thy testimonies,That thou hast founded them for ever.
And ye shall be holy unto me: for I, Jehovah, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that ye should be mine.
Forasmuch as ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly precious things,
And not only so, but {Or, let us also rejoice}we also {Greek: glory. Verse 11; Hebrew 3:6.}rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness;
and stedfastness, approvedness; and approvedness, hope:
and hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been {Greek: poured out.}shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given unto us.
Let your {Or, gentleness Compare 2 Corinthians 10:1.}forbearance be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
