At midnight I will rise To praise thee in a solemn manner; not being contented with those short ejaculations he might have used lying in his bed; because of thy righteous judgments That is, thy laws, which are so useful to direct and comfort me. I am a companion of all that fear thee Not excepting the poorest and meanest, the society of whom other princes disdain. The earth is full of thy mercy Thou satisfiest the just desires and necessities of all men, and of all creatures, with the fruits of thy goodness. Teach me thy statutes But spiritual blessings, and not the good things of this life, are what I chiefly esteem and desire; and therefore I pray that thou wouldst teach me to know, and incline and enable me to love and practise thy law.
