to fables. 5 But you be watchful in all things, endure
afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

according to Your word. With my whole heart I have sought
You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! Your
word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against

my lips I have declared All the judgments of Your mouth. I
have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, As much as in
all riches. I will meditate on Your precepts, And contemplate
Your ways. I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not
forget Your word.
