From the
Great Bible,
1540 edition (known as
Cranmer's Bible). Set in the
Book of Common Prayer,
1662, for
Evening Prayer on the twenty-fifth day of the month.
Quomodo dilexi!
Lord, what love have I unto thy law : all the day long is my study in
it.
98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies
: for they are ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than my teachers : for thy testimonies
are my study.
100 I am wiser than the aged : because I keep thy commandments.
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way : that I may keep
thy word.
102 I have not shrunk from thy judgements : for thou teachest me.
103 O how sweet are thy words unto my throat : yea, sweeter than
honey unto my mouth.
104 Through thy commandments I get understanding : therefore I hate
all evil ways.
From the
Vulgate, where it is listed, according to the
Catholic manner, as
Psalm 118.:
Quam dilexi legem tuam tota die haec meditatio mea.
Super inimicos meos instruis me mandata tua quia in sempiternum hoc est mihi.
Super omnes qui docebant me eruditus sum quia testimonia tua meditatio mea.
Super senes intellexi quia praecepta tua servavi.
Ab omni semita mala prohibui pedes meos ut custodirem verba tua.
A iudiciis tuis non recessi quia tu inluminasti me.
Quam dulce gutturi meo eloquium tuum super mel ori meo.
Praecepta tua considerabam propterea odivi omnem semitam mendacii.
The psalm in either case may be followed by the
Gloria Patri.
