The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes - (Psalms 119:12.) As thou fillest the earth with thy mercy, so give me a share of it by teaching me thy statutes. I can make no progress in piety unless thou teachest me, Of all thy many mercies, this is the one which I desire earnestly above all the rest.
