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.

75 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in thy faithfulness hast humbled me.

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.

90 Thy faithfulness is to all generations; thou hast established the earth, and it abides.

91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances; for all are thy servants.

92 Unless thy law had been my meditation, I should then have perished in mine affliction.

93 I will never forget thy commandments, because they are my very life.

94 I am thine, deliver me; for I have kept thy commandments.

95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me; but I understand thy testimonies.

111 Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever; for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

112 I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes truly, even to the end.

113 SEMKETH. I hate the wicked; but thy law do I love.

126 It is time to serve the LORD; for they have nullified thy law.

127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold, yea, above precious stones.

128 Therefore I love all thy commandments; and I hate every way of the wicked.

129 PE. Thy testimonies are wonderful; therefore doth my soul keep them.

130 Make plain thy word and enlighten and give understanding to the simple.

131 I opened my mouth, and panted; for I longed for thy commandments.

148 Mine eyes open before the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.

149 Hear my voice according to thy lovingkindness, O LORD; quicken me according to thy judgment.

150 They draw near who follow after mischief; they are far from thy law.

151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth. Mine eyes open before the night watch to meditate on thy word.

152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.

164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.

12 Blessed1288 are you, O LORD:3068 teach3925 me your statutes.2706

50 This2063 is my comfort5162 in my affliction:6040 for your word565 has quickened2421 me.

51 The proud2086 have had me greatly3966 in derision:3887 yet have I not declined5186 from your law.8451

52 I remembered2142 your judgments4941 of old,5769 O LORD;3068 and have comforted5162 myself.

53 Horror2152 has taken270 hold270 on me because of the wicked7563 that forsake5800 your law.8451

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

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

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

57 CHETH. You are my portion,2506 O LORD:3068 I have said559 that I would keep8104 your words.1697

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

59 I thought2803 on my ways,1870 and turned7725 my feet7272 to your testimonies.5713

60 I made haste,2363 and delayed4102 not to keep8104 your commandments.4687

61 The bands2256 of the wicked7563 have robbed5749 me: but I have not forgotten7911 your law.8451

62 At midnight2676 3915 I will rise6965 to give thanks3034 to you because5921 of your righteous6664 judgments.4941

63 I am a companion2270 of all3605 them that fear3372 you, and of them that keep8104 your precepts.6490

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

65 You have dealt6213 well2896 with your servant,5650 O LORD,3068 according to your word.1697

66 Teach3925 me good2898 judgment2940 and knowledge:1847 for I have believed539 your commandments.4687

67 Before2962 I was afflicted6031 I went7683 astray:7683 but now6258 have I kept8104 your word.565

68 You are good,2896 and do good;2895 teach3925 me your statutes.2706

69 The proud2086 have forged2950 a lie3576 against5921 me: but I will keep5341 your precepts6490 with my whole3605 heart.3820

70 Their heart3820 is as fat2954 as grease;2459 but I delight8173 in your law.8451

71 It is good2896 for me that I have been afflicted;6031 that I might learn3925 your statutes.2706

72 The law8451 of your mouth6310 is better2896 to me than thousands505 of gold2091 and silver.3701

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

74 They that fear3373 you will be glad8056 when they see7200 me; because3588 I have hoped3176 in your word.1697

75 I know,3045 O LORD,3068 that your judgments4941 are right,6664 and that you in faithfulness530 have afflicted6031 me.

76 Let, I pray4994 you, your merciful2617 kindness2617 be for my comfort,5162 according to your word565 to your servant.5650

77 Let your tender mercies7356 come935 to me, that I may live:2421 for your law8451 is my delight.8191

78 Let the proud2086 be ashamed;954 for they dealt perversely5791 with me without8267 a cause:8267 but I will meditate7878 in your precepts.6490

79 Let those that fear3373 you turn7725 to me, and those that have known3045 your testimonies.5713

80 Let my heart3820 be sound8549 in your statutes;2706 that I be not ashamed.954

81 CAPH. My soul5315 faints3615 for your salvation:8668 but I hope3176 in your word.1697

82 My eyes5869 fail3615 for your word,565 saying,559 When4970 will you comfort5162 me?

83 For I am become1961 like a bottle4997 in the smoke;7008 yet do I not forget7911 your statutes.2706

84 How4100 many are the days3117 of your servant?5650 when4970 will you execute6213 judgment4941 on them that persecute7291 me?

85 The proud2086 have dig3738 pits7882 for me, which834 are not after your law.8451

86 All3605 your commandments4687 are faithful:530 they persecute7291 me wrongfully;8267 help5826 you me.

87 They had almost4592 consumed3615 me on earth;776 but I forsook5800 not your precepts.6490

88 Quicken2421 me after your loving kindness;2617 so shall I keep8104 the testimony5715 of your mouth.6310

89 For ever,5769 O LORD,3068 your word1697 is settled5324 in heaven.8064

90 Your faithfulness530 is to all generations:1755 you have established3559 the earth,776 and it stays.5975

91 They continue5975 this day3117 according to your ordinances:4941 for all3605 are your servants.5650

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

93 I will never5769 3808 forget7911 your precepts:6490 for with them you have quickened2421 me.

94 I am yours, save3467 me: for I have sought1875 your precepts.6490

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

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

97 MEM. O how4100 I love157 your law!8451 it is my meditation7881 all3605 the day.3117

98 You through your commandments4687 have made me wiser2449 than my enemies:341 for they are ever5769 with me.

99 I have more understanding7919 than all3605 my teachers:3925 for your testimonies5715 are my meditation.7881

100 I understand995 more than the ancients,2204 because3588 I keep5341 your precepts.6490

101 I have refrained3607 my feet7272 from every3605 evil7451 way,734 that I might keep8104 your word.1697

102 I have not departed5493 from your judgments:4941 for you have taught3384 me.

104 Through your precepts6490 I get understanding:995 therefore5921 3651 I hate8130 every3605 false8267 way.734

105 NUN. Your word1697 is a lamp5216 to my feet,7272 and a light216 to my path.5410

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

119 You put7673 away all3605 the wicked7563 of the earth776 like dross:5509 therefore3651 I love157 your testimonies.5713

120 My flesh1320 trembles5568 for fear6343 of you; and I am afraid3372 of your judgments.4941

121 I have done6213 judgment4941 and justice:6664 leave5117 me not to my oppressors.6231

122 Be surety6148 for your servant5650 for good:2896 let not the proud2086 oppress6231 me.

123 My eyes5869 fail3615 for your salvation,3444 and for the word565 of your righteousness.6664

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

135 Make your face6440 to shine215 on your servant;5650 and teach3925 me your statutes.2706

136 Rivers6388 of waters4325 run3381 down my eyes,5869 because5921 they keep8104 not your law.8451

137 TZADDI. Righteous6662 are you, O LORD,3068 and upright3477 are your judgments.4941

151 You are near,7138 O LORD;3068 and all3605 your commandments4687 are truth.571

157 Many7227 are my persecutors7291 and my enemies;6862 yet do I not decline5186 from your testimonies.5715

158 I beheld7200 the transgressors,898 and was grieved;6962 because834 they kept8104 not your word.565

164 Seven7651 times a day3117 do I praise1984 you because5921 of your righteous6664 judgments.4941

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

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

170 Let my supplication8467 come935 before6440 you: deliver5337 me according to your word.565

171 My lips8193 shall utter5042 praise,8416 when3588 you have taught3925 me your statutes.2706

172 My tongue3956 shall speak6030 of your word:565 for all3605 your commandments4687 are righteousness.6664

173 Let your hand3027 help5826 me; for I have chosen977 your precepts.6490

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

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

176 I have gone8582 astray8582 like a lost6 sheep;7716 seek1245 your servant;5650 for I do not forget7911 your commandments.4687
