Psalm 119

1 ALEPH. BLESSED are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.

2 Blessed are they who keep his testimonies, and seek him with the whole heart.

3 They also do no iniquity; they walk in his ways.

4 Thou hast commanded them to keep thy precepts diligently.

5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have observed all thy commandments.

7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.

8 I will keep thy statutes; O forsake me not utterly.

9 BETH. With what shall a young man cleanse his way in order that he may observe thy commandments?

10 With my whole heart have I sought thee; O let me not wander from thy commandments.

11 Thy words have I impressed on my heart, that I might not sin against thee.

12 Blessed art thou, O LORD; teach me thy statutes.

13 With my lips have I repeated all thy righteous judgments.

14 I have been delighted in the way of thy testimonies, more than in all riches.

15 I have meditated in thy commandments, and am familiar with thy ways.

16 I have meditated in thy law in order that I may not forget thy words.

17 GAMEL. Answer thy servant, that I may live and keep thy words.

18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

19 I am a sojourner with thee; hide not thy commandments from me.

20 My soul is pleased and desires thy judgments at all times.

21 Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and cursed are those who go astray from thy commandments.

22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.

23 The ungodly sat and plotted against me; but I meditated in thy statutes.

24 I have meditated also in thy testimonies and in thy good counsel.

25 DALETH. My soul cleaves to the dust; quicken me according to thy word.

26 I have declared my ways and thou heardest me; teach me thy law.

27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts; so shall I meditate on thy wondrous works.

28 My soul is vexed from meditation; quicken me according to thy word.

29 Remove from me the practices of the wicked, and teach me thy law.

30 I have chosen the way of thy truth: thy judgments have delighted me.

31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.

32 I have walked in the way of thy commandments, because thou hast made me joyful.

33 HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy commandments; and I shall keep them unto the end.

34 Give me understanding and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.

36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to fables.

37 Turn away mine eyes that they may not behold falsehood; and quicken thou me in thy way.

38 Strengthen thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thee.

39 Turn away my reproach: because thy judgments are good.

40 Behold, I have delighted in thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.

41 VAU. Let thy mercies come also to me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.

42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him who reproaches me; for I trust in thy word.

43 Let not the word of truth depart from my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.

44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.

45 And I will walk at liberty because I have been delighted in thy commandments.

46 I will speak truthfully before kings, and will not be ashamed.

47 And I will meditate on thy commandments, which I have loved.

48 My hands also will I lift up to thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy commandments, and I will be glorified in thy faith.

49 ZEN. Remember thy word to thy servant, upon which thou hast made me to hope.

50 In it have I been comforted in my humiliation; for thy word has quickened me.

51 The ungodly have oppressed me greatly; yet have I not swerved from thy law.

52 I have remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD, and have been comforted; they have become a guide to me.

53 Horror has taken hold of me because of the wicked who forsake thy law.

54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

55 I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.

56 I have been comforted because I kept thy commandments.

57 KHETH. On the LORD'S business have I meditated, that I may keep thy commandments.

58 I entreated thy favor with my whole heart; save me according to thy word.

59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet to thy paths.

60 I prepared myself and delayed not to keep thy commandments.

61 The bands of the wicked have beset me; but I have not strayed from thy law.

62 At midnight I rise to give thanks to thee because of thy righteous judgments.

63 I am a friend of all them that worship thee, and of them that keep thy commandments.

64 The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy; teach me thy statutes.

65 TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according to thy word.

66 Teach me good judgment, grace, and knowledge; for I have believed thy commandments.

67 Even before I was humbled I believed; and I kept thy word.

68 Thou art good, O LORD, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.

69 The injustice of the proud has multiplied; but I keep thy commandments with my whole heart.

70 Their hearts are stubborn; but I keep thy law.

71 It is good for me that I have been humbled, that I might learn thy statutes.

72 The law of thy mouth is better to me than thousands of things of gold and silver.

73 YOTH. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me; teach me thy law,

74 So that those who revere thee may see and rejoice, because I have hoped in thy word.

76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word to thy servant.

77 Let thy tender mercies come to me, that I may live; for I have been taught thy law.

78 Let the wicked be ashamed, for they have humbled me unjustly; but I have meditated in thy precepts.

79 Let those who reverence thee turn unto me, and those who have known thy testimonies.

80 Let my heart meditate in thy statutes, that I be not ashamed.

81 CAPH. My soul hath longed for thy salvation, and I hope in thy word.

82 Mine eyes wait for thy word, when thou wilt comfort me.

83 For I have suffered all disgrace; yet do I not forget thy statutes.

84 How many are the days of thy servant? When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

85 The wicked have digged a pit for me, which is not in accord with thy law.

86 All thy commandments are trustworthy; yet the wicked persecute me.

87 They had almost destroyed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy commandments.

88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.

89 LAMED. For ever thou art, O LORD; thy word is established in heaven.

32 I will run7323 the way1870 of thy commandments,4687 when3588 thou shalt enlarge7337 my heart.3820

51 The proud2086 have had me greatly5704 3966 in derision:3887 yet have I not3808 declined5186 from thy law.4480 8451

52 I remembered2142 thy judgments4941 of old,4480 5769 O LORD;3068 and have comforted myself.5162

53 Horror2152 hath taken hold upon270 me because of the wicked4480 7563 that forsake5800 thy law.8451

54 Thy statutes2706 have been1961 my songs2158 in the house1004 of my pilgrimage.4033

55 I have remembered2142 thy name,8034 O LORD,3068 in the night,3915 and have kept8104 thy law.8451

56 This2063 I had,1961 because3588 I kept5341 thy precepts.6490

57 Thou art my portion,2506 O LORD:3068 I have said559 that I would keep8104 thy words.1697

58 I entreated2470 thy favor6440 with my whole3605 heart:3820 be merciful2603 unto me according to thy word.565

59 I thought2803 on my ways,1870 and turned7725 my feet7272 unto413 thy testimonies.5713

60 I made haste,2363 and delayed4102 not3808 to keep8104 thy commandments.4687

61 The bands2256 of the wicked7563 have robbed5749 me: but I have not3808 forgotten7911 thy law.8451

62 At midnight2676 3915 I will rise6965 to give thanks3034 unto thee because of5921 thy righteous6664 judgments.4941

63 I589 am a companion2270 of all3605 them that834 fear3372 thee, and of them that keep8104 thy precepts.6490

64 The earth,776 O LORD,3068 is full4390 of thy mercy:2617 teach3925 me thy statutes.2706

65 Thou hast dealt6213 well2896 with5973 thy servant,5650 O LORD,3068 according unto thy word.1697

66 Teach3925 me good2898 judgment2940 and knowledge:1847 for3588 I have believed539 thy commandments.4687

67 Before2962 I589 was afflicted6031 I went astray:7683 but now6258 have I kept8104 thy word.565

68 Thou859 art good,2896 and doest good;2895 teach3925 me thy statutes.2706

69 The proud2086 have forged2950 a lie8267 against5921 me: but I589 will keep5341 thy precepts6490 with my whole3605 heart.3820

70 Their heart3820 is as fat2954 as grease;2459 but I589 delight8173 in thy law.8451

71 It is good2896 for me that3588 I have been afflicted;6031 that4616 I might learn3925 thy statutes.2706

72 The law8451 of thy mouth6310 is better2896 unto me than thousands4480 505 of gold2091 and silver.3701

73 Thy hands3027 have made6213 me and fashioned3559 me: give me understanding,995 that I may learn3925 thy commandments.4687

74 They that fear3373 thee will be glad8055 when they see7200 me; because3588 I have hoped3176 in thy word.1697

75 I know,3045 O LORD,3068 that3588 thy judgments4941 are right,6664 and that thou in faithfulness530 hast afflicted6031 me.

76 Let, I pray thee,4994 thy merciful kindness2617 be1961 for my comfort,5162 according to thy word565 unto thy servant.5650

77 Let thy tender mercies7356 come935 unto me, that I may live:2421 for3588 thy law8451 is my delight.8191

78 Let the proud2086 be ashamed;954 for3588 they dealt perversely5791 with me without a cause:8267 but I589 will meditate7878 in thy precepts.6490

79 Let those that fear3373 thee turn7725 unto me, and those that have known3045 thy testimonies.5713

80 Let my heart3820 be1961 sound8549 in thy statutes;2706 that4616 I be not3808 ashamed.954

81 My soul5315 fainteth3615 for thy salvation:8668 but I hope3176 in thy word.1697

82 Mine eyes5869 fail3615 for thy word,565 saying,559 When4970 wilt thou comfort5162 me?

83 For3588 I am become1961 like a bottle4997 in the smoke;7008 yet do I not3808 forget7911 thy statutes.2706

84 How many4100 are the days3117 of thy servant?5650 when4970 wilt thou execute6213 judgment4941 on them that persecute7291 me?

85 The proud2086 have digged3738 pits7882 for me, which834 are not3808 after thy law.8451

86 All3605 thy commandments4687 are faithful:530 they persecute7291 me wrongfully;8267 help5826 thou me.

87 They had almost4592 consumed3615 me upon earth;776 but I589 forsook5800 not3808 thy precepts.6490

88 Quicken2421 me after thy lovingkindness;2617 so shall I keep8104 the testimony5715 of thy mouth.6310

89 Forever,5769 O LORD,3068 thy word1697 is settled5324 in heaven.8064

90 Thy faithfulness530 is unto all generations:1755 1755 thou hast established3559 the earth,776 and it abideth.5975

91 They continue5975 this day3117 according to thine ordinances:4941 for3588 all3605 are thy servants.5650

92 Unless3884 thy law8451 had been my delights,8191 I should then227 have perished6 in mine affliction.6040

93 I will never5769 3808 forget7911 thy precepts:6490 for3588 with them thou hast quickened2421 me.

94 I589 am thine, save3467 me; for3588 I have sought1875 thy precepts.6490

95 The wicked7563 have waited6960 for me to destroy6 me: but I will consider995 thy testimonies.5713

96 I have seen7200 an end7093 of all3605 perfection:8502 but thy commandment4687 is exceeding3966 broad.7342

97 O how4100 love157 I thy law!8451 it1931 is my meditation7881 all3605 the day.3117

98 Thou through thy commandments4687 hast made me wiser2449 than mine enemies:4480 341 for3588 they1931 are ever5769 with me.

99 I have more understanding7919 than all4480 3605 my teachers:3925 for3588 thy testimonies5715 are my meditation.7881

100 I understand995 more than the ancients,4480 2205 because3588 I keep5341 thy precepts.6490

101 I have refrained3607 my feet7272 from every4480 3605 evil7451 way,734 that4616 I might keep8104 thy word.1697

102 I have not3808 departed5493 from thy judgments:4480 4941 for3588 thou859 hast taught3384 me.

103 How4100 sweet are4452 thy words565 unto my taste!2441 yea, sweeter than honey4480 1706 to my mouth!6310

104 Through thy precepts4480 6490 I get understanding:995 therefore5921 3651 I hate8130 every3605 false8267 way.734

105 Thy word1697 is a lamp5216 unto my feet,7272 and a light216 unto my path.5410

106 I have sworn,7650 and I will perform6965 it, that I will keep8104 thy righteous6664 judgments.4941

107 I am afflicted6031 very much:5704 3966 quicken2421 me, O LORD,3068 according unto thy word.1697

108 Accept,7521 I beseech thee,4994 the freewill offerings5071 of my mouth,6310 O LORD,3068 and teach3925 me thy judgments.4941

109 My soul5315 is continually8548 in my hand:3709 yet do I not3808 forget7911 thy law.8451

110 The wicked7563 have laid5414 a snare6341 for me: yet I erred8582 not3808 from thy precepts.4480 6490

111 Thy testimonies5715 have I taken as a heritage5157 forever:5769 for3588 they1992 are the rejoicing8342 of my heart.3820

112 I have inclined5186 mine heart3820 to perform6213 thy statutes2706 always,5769 even unto the end.6118

113 I hate8130 vain thoughts:5588 but thy law8451 do I love.157

114 Thou859 art my hiding place5643 and my shield:4043 I hope3176 in thy word.1697

115 Depart5493 from4480 me, ye evildoers:7489 for I will keep5341 the commandments4687 of my God.430

116 Uphold5564 me according unto thy word,565 that I may live:2421 and let me not408 be ashamed954 of my hope.4480 7664

117 Hold thou me up,5582 and I shall be safe:3467 and I will have respect8159 unto thy statutes2706 continually.8548

118 Thou hast trodden down5541 all3605 them that err7686 from thy statutes:4480 2706 for3588 their deceit8649 is falsehood.8267

119 Thou puttest away7673 all3605 the wicked7563 of the earth776 like dross:5509 therefore3651 I love157 thy testimonies.5713

120 My flesh1320 trembleth5568 for fear4480 6343 of thee; and I am afraid3372 of thy judgments.4480 4941

121 I have done6213 judgment4941 and justice:6664 leave5117 me not1077 to mine oppressors.6231

122 Be surety6148 for thy servant5650 for good:2896 let not408 the proud2086 oppress6231 me.

123 Mine eyes5869 fail3615 for thy salvation,3444 and for the word565 of thy righteousness.6664

124 Deal6213 with5973 thy servant5650 according unto thy mercy,2617 and teach3925 me thy statutes.2706

125 I589 am thy servant;5650 give me understanding,995 that I may know3045 thy testimonies.5713

126 It is time6256 for thee, LORD,3068 to work:6213 for they have made void6565 thy law.8451

127 Therefore5921 3651 I love157 thy commandments4687 above gold;4480 2091 yea, above fine gold.4480 6337

128 Therefore5921 3651 I esteem all3605 thy precepts6490 concerning all3605 things to be right;3474 and I hate8130 every3605 false8267 way.734

129 Thy testimonies5715 are wonderful:6382 therefore5921 3651 doth my soul5315 keep5341 them.

130 The entrance6608 of thy words1697 giveth light;215 it giveth understanding995 unto the simple.6612

131 I opened6473 my mouth,6310 and panted:7602 for3588 I longed2968 for thy commandments.4687

132 Look6437 thou upon413 me, and be merciful2603 unto me, as thou usest to do4941 unto those that love157 thy name.8034

133 Order3559 my steps6471 in thy word:565 and let not408 any3605 iniquity205 have dominion7980 over me.

134 Deliver6299 me from the oppression4480 6233 of man:120 so will I keep8104 thy precepts.6490

135 Make thy face6440 to shine215 upon thy servant;5650 and teach3925 me853 thy statutes.2706

136 Rivers6388 of waters4325 run down3381 mine eyes,5869 because5921 they keep8104 not3808 thy law.8451

137 Righteous6662 art thou,859 O LORD,3068 and upright3477 are thy judgments.4941

138 Thy testimonies5713 that thou hast commanded6680 are righteous6664 and very3966 faithful.530

139 My zeal7068 hath consumed6789 me, because3588 mine enemies6862 have forgotten7911 thy words.1697

140 Thy word565 is very3966 pure:6884 therefore thy servant5650 loveth157 it.

141 I595 am small6810 and despised:959 yet do not3808 I forget7911 thy precepts.6490

142 Thy righteousness6666 is an everlasting5769 righteousness,6664 and thy law8451 is the truth.571

143 Trouble6862 and anguish4689 have taken hold on4672 me: yet thy commandments4687 are my delights.8191

144 The righteousness6664 of thy testimonies5715 is everlasting:5769 give me understanding,995 and I shall live.2421

145 I cried7121 with my whole3605 heart;3820 hear6030 me, O LORD:3068 I will keep5341 thy statutes.2706

146 I cried7121 unto thee; save3467 me, and I shall keep8104 thy testimonies.5713

147 I prevented6923 the dawning5399 of the morning, and cried:7768 I hoped3176 in thy word.1697

148 Mine eyes5869 prevent6923 the night watches,821 that I might meditate7878 in thy word.565

149 Hear8085 my voice6963 according unto thy lovingkindness:2617 O LORD,3068 quicken2421 me according to thy judgment.4941

150 They draw nigh7126 that follow after7291 mischief:2154 they are far7368 from thy law.4480 8451

151 Thou859 art near,7138 O LORD;3068 and all3605 thy commandments4687 are truth.571

152 Concerning thy testimonies,4480 5713 I have known3045 of old6924 that3588 thou hast founded3245 them forever.5769

153 Consider7200 mine affliction,6040 and deliver2502 me: for3588 I do not3808 forget7911 thy law.8451

154 Plead7378 my cause,7379 and deliver1350 me: quicken2421 me according to thy word.565

155 Salvation3444 is far7350 from the wicked:4480 7563 for3588 they seek1875 not3808 thy statutes.2706

156 Great7227 are thy tender mercies,7356 O LORD:3068 quicken2421 me according to thy judgments.4941

157 Many7227 are my persecutors7291 and mine enemies;6862 yet do I not3808 decline5186 from thy testimonies.4480 5715

158 I beheld7200 the transgressors,898 and was grieved;6962 because834 they kept8104 not3808 thy word.565

159 Consider7200 how3588 I love157 thy precepts:6490 quicken2421 me, O LORD,3068 according to thy lovingkindness.2617

160 Thy word1697 is true571 from the beginning:7218 and every one3605 of thy righteous6664 judgments4941 endureth forever.5769

161 Princes8269 have persecuted7291 me without a cause:2600 but my heart3820 standeth in awe6342 of thy word.4480 1697

162 I595 rejoice7797 at5921 thy word,565 as one that findeth4672 great7227 spoil.7998

163 I hate8130 and abhor8581 lying:8267 but thy law8451 do I love.157

164 Seven7651 times a day3117 do I praise1984 thee because of5921 thy righteous6664 judgments.4941

165 Great7227 peace7965 have they which love157 thy law:8451 and nothing369 shall offend4383 them.

166 LORD,3068 I have hoped7663 for thy salvation,3444 and done6213 thy commandments.4687

167 My soul5315 hath kept8104 thy testimonies;5713 and I love157 them exceedingly.3966

168 I have kept8104 thy precepts6490 and thy testimonies:5713 for3588 all3605 my ways1870 are before5048 thee.

169 Let my cry7440 come near7126 before6440 thee, O LORD:3068 give me understanding995 according to thy word.1697

170 Let my supplication8467 come935 before6440 thee: deliver5337 me according to thy word.565

171 My lips8193 shall utter5042 praise,8416 when3588 thou hast taught3925 me thy statutes.2706

172 My tongue3956 shall speak6030 of thy word:565 for3588 all3605 thy commandments4687 are righteousness.6664

173 Let1961 thine hand3027 help5826 me; for3588 I have chosen977 thy precepts.6490

174 I have longed8373 for thy salvation,3444 O LORD;3068 and thy law8451 is my delight.8191

175 Let my soul5315 live,2421 and it shall praise1984 thee; and let thy judgments4941 help5826 me.

176 I have gone astray8582 like a lost6 sheep;7716 seek1245 thy servant;5650 for3588 I do not3808 forget7911 thy commandments.4687
