Then I wouldn't be disappointed, when I consider all of your commandments. I will give thanks to you with uprightness of heart, when I learn your righteous judgments. I will observe your statutes. Don't utterly forsake me. BET How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. With my whole heart, I have sought you. Don't let me wander from your commandments. I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. Blessed are you, Yahweh. Teach me your statutes. With my lips, I have declared all the ordinances 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 consider your ways. I will delight myself in your statutes. I will not forget your word. GIMEL Do good to your servant. I will live and I will obey your word. Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things out of your law. I am a stranger on the earth. Don't hide your commandments from me. My soul is consumed with longing for your ordinances at all times. You have rebuked the proud who are cursed, who wander from your commandments. Take reproach and contempt away from me, for I have kept your statutes. Though princes sit and slander me, your servant will meditate on your statutes. Indeed your statutes are my delight, and my counselors. DALED My soul is laid low in the dust. Revive me according to your word! I declared my ways, and you answered me. Teach me your statutes. Let me understand the teaching of your precepts! Then I will meditate on your wondrous works. My soul is weary with sorrow: strengthen me according to your word. Keep me from the way of deceit.

I reach out my hands for your commandments, which I love. I will meditate on your statutes. ZAYIN Remember your word to your servant, because you gave me hope. This is my comfort in my affliction, for your word has revived me. The arrogant mock me excessively, but I don't swerve from your law. I remember your ordinances of old, Yahweh, and have comforted myself. Indignation has taken hold on me, because of the wicked who forsake your law. Your statutes have been my songs, in the house where I live. I have remembered your name, Yahweh, in the night, and I obey your law. This is my way, that I keep your precepts. CHET Yahweh is my portion. I promised to obey your words. I sought your favor with my whole heart. Be merciful to me according to your word.

At midnight I will rise to give thanks to you, because of your righteous ordinances. I am a friend of all those who fear you, of those who observe your precepts. The earth is full of your loving kindness, Yahweh. Teach me your statutes. TET Do good to your servant, according to your word, Yahweh. Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments. Before I was afflicted, I went astray; but now I observe your word. You are good, and do good. Teach me your statutes. The proud have smeared a lie upon me. With my whole heart, I will keep your precepts. Their heart is as callous as the fat, but I delight in your law. It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes. The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver. YUD Your hands have made me and formed me. Give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments. Those who fear you will see me and be glad, because I have put my hope in your word. Yahweh, I know that your judgments are righteous, that in faithfulness you have afflicted me. Please let your loving kindness be for my comfort, according to your word to your servant. Let your tender mercies come to me, that I may live; for your law is my delight. Let the proud be disappointed, for they have overthrown me wrongfully. I will meditate on your precepts. Let those who fear you turn to me. They will know your statutes. Let my heart be blameless toward your decrees, that I may not be disappointed. KAF My soul faints for your salvation. I hope in your word. My eyes fail for your word. I say, "When will you comfort me?" For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke. I don't forget your statutes. How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute judgment on those who persecute me? The proud have dug pits for me, contrary to your law. All of your commandments are faithful. They persecute me wrongfully. Help me! They had almost wiped me from the earth, but I didn't forsake your precepts. Preserve my life according to your loving kindness, so I will obey the statutes of your mouth. LAMED Yahweh, your word is settled in heaven forever. Your faithfulness is to all generations. You have established the earth, and it remains. Your laws remain to this day, for all things serve you. Unless your law had been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction. I will never forget your precepts, for with them, you have revived me. I am yours. Save me, for I have sought your precepts. The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me.

Through your precepts, I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. NUN Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path. I have sworn, and have confirmed it, that I will obey your righteous ordinances. I am afflicted very much. Revive me, Yahweh, according to your word. Accept, I beg you, the willing offerings of my mouth. Yahweh, teach me your ordinances. My soul is continually in my hand, yet I won't forget your law.

Hold me up, and I will be safe, and will have respect for your statutes continually. You reject all those who stray from your statutes, for their deceit is in vain. You put away all the wicked of the earth like dross. Therefore I love your testimonies. My flesh trembles for fear of you. I am afraid of your judgments. AYIN I have done what is just and righteous. Don't leave me to my oppressors. Ensure your servant's well-being. Don't let the proud oppress me. My eyes fail looking for your salvation, for your righteous word. Deal with your servant according to your loving kindness. Teach me your statutes. I am your servant. Give me understanding, that I may know your testimonies. It is time to act, Yahweh, for they break your law. Therefore I love your commandments more than gold, yes, more than pure gold. Therefore I consider all of your precepts to be right. I hate every false way. PEY Your testimonies are wonderful, therefore my soul keeps them. The entrance of your words gives light. It gives understanding to the simple.

Don't let any iniquity have dominion over me. Redeem me from the oppression of man, so I will observe your precepts. Make your face shine on your servant. Teach me your statutes. Streams of tears run down my eyes, because they don't observe your law. TZADI You are righteous, Yahweh. Your judgments are upright. You have commanded your statutes in righteousness. They are fully trustworthy. My zeal wears me out, because my enemies ignore your words. Your promises have been thoroughly tested, and your servant loves them. I am small and despised. I don't forget your precepts. Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness. Your law is truth. Trouble and anguish have taken hold of me. Your commandments are my delight. Your testimonies are righteous forever. Give me understanding, that I may live. KUF I have called with my whole heart. Answer me, Yahweh! I will keep your statutes. I have called to you. Save me!

Hear my voice according to your loving kindness. Revive me, Yahweh, according to your ordinances. They draw near who follow after wickedness. They are far from your law. You are near, Yahweh.

Psalm 119 Text (Latin) Alleluja. ALEPH. Beati immaculati in via, qui ambulant in lege Domini. Beati qui scrutantur testimonia ejus, in toto corde exquirunt eum. Non enim qui operantur iniquitatem in viis ejus ambulaverunt. Tu mandasti mandata tua custodiri nimis. Utinam dirigantur viæ meæ ad custodiendas justificationes tuas ! Tunc non confundar, cum perspexero in omnibus mandatis tuis. Confitebor tibi in directione cordis, in eo quod didici judicia justitiæ tuæ. Justificationes tuas custodiam ; non me derelinquas usquequaque. BETH. In quo corrigit adolescentior viam suam ? in custodiendo sermones tuos. In toto corde meo exquisivi te ; ne repellas me a mandatis tuis. In corde meo abscondi eloquia tua, ut non peccem tibi. Benedictus es, Domine ; doce me justificationes tuas. In labiis meis pronuntiavi omnia judicia oris tui. In via testimoniorum tuorum delectatus sum, sicut in omnibus divitiis. In mandatis tuis exercebor, et considerabo vias tuas. In justificationibus tuis meditabor : non obliviscar sermones tuos. GHIMEL. Retribue servo tuo, vivifica me, et custodiam sermones tuos. Revela oculos meos, et considerabo mirabilia de lege tua. Incola ego sum in terra, non abscondas a me mandata tua. Concupivit anima mea desiderare justificationes tuas in omni tempore. Increpasti superbos ; maledicti qui declinant a mandatis tuis. Aufer a me opprobrium et contemptum, quia testimonia tua exquisivi. Etenim sederunt principes, et adversum me loquebantur ; servus autem tuus exercebatur in justificationibus tuis. Nam et testimonia tua meditatio mea est ; et consilium meum justificationes tuæ. DALETH. Adhæsit pavimento anima mea ; vivifica me secundum verbum tuum. Vias meas enuntiavi, et exaudisti me ; doce me justificationes tuas. Viam justificationum tuarum instrue me, et exercebor in mirabilibus tuis. Dormitavit anima mea præ tædio ; confirma me in verbis tuis. Viam iniquitatis amove a me, et de lege tua miserere mei. Viam veritatis elegi ; judicia tua non sum oblitus. Adhæsi testimoniis tuis, Domine ; noli me confundere. Viam mandatorum tuorum cucurri, cum dilatasti cor meum. HE. Legem pone mihi, Domine, viam justificationum tuarum, et exquiram eam semper. Da mihi intellectum, et scrutabor legem tuam, et custodiam illam in toto corde meo. Deduc me in semitam mandatorum tuorum, quia ipsam volui. Inclina cor meum in testimonia tua, et non in avaritiam. Averte oculos meos, ne videant vanitatem ; in via tua vivifica me. Statue servo tuo eloquium tuum in timore tuo. Amputa opprobrium meum quod suspicatus sum, quia judicia tua jucunda. Ecce concupivi mandata tua ; in æquitate tua vivifica me. VAU. Et veniat super me misericordia tua, Domine ; salutare tuum secundum eloquium tuum. Et respondebo exprobrantibus mihi verbum, quia speravi in sermonibus tuis. Et ne auferas de ore meo verbum veritatis usquequaque, quia in judiciis tuis supersperavi. Et custodiam legem tuam semper, in sæculum et in sæculum sæculi : et ambulabam in latitudine, quia mandata tua exquisivi. Et loquebar in testimoniis tuis in conspectu regum, et non confundebar. Et meditabar in mandatis tuis, quæ dilexi. Et levavi manus meas ad mandata tua, quæ dilexi, et exercebar in justificationibus tuis. ZAIN. Memor esto verbi tui servo tuo, in quo mihi spem dedisti. Hæc me consolata est in humilitate mea, quia eloquium tuum vivificavit me. Superbi inique agebant usquequaque, a lege autem tua non declinavi. Memor fui judiciorum tuorum a sæculo, Domine, et consolatus sum. Defectio tenuit me, pro peccatoribus derelinquentibus legem tuam. Cantabiles mihi erant justificationes tuæ in loco peregrinationis meæ. Memor fui nocte nominis tui, Domine, et custodivi legem tuam. Hæc facta est mihi, quia justificationes tuas exquisivi. HETH. Portio mea, Domine, dixi, custodire legem tuam. Deprecatus sum faciem tuam in toto corde meo ; miserere mei secundum eloquium tuum. Cogitavi vias meas, et converti pedes meos in testimonia tua. Paratus sum, et non sum turbatus, ut custodiam mandata tua. Funes peccatorum circumplexi sunt me, et legem tuam non sum oblitus. Media nocte surgebam, ad confitendum tibi super judicia justificationis tuæ. Particeps ego sum omnium timentium te, et custodientium mandata tua. Misericordia tua, Domine, plena est terra ; justificationes tuas doce me. TETH. Bonitatem fecisti cum servo tuo, Domine, secundum verbum tuum. Bonitatem, et disciplinam, et scientiam doce me, quia mandatis tuis credidi. Priusquam humiliarer ego deliqui, propterea eloquium tuum custodivi. Bonus es tu, et in bonitate tua doce me justificationes tuas. Multiplicata est super me iniquitas superborum ; ego autem in toto corde meo scrutabor mandata tua. Coagulatum est sicut lac cor eorum ; ego vero legem tuam meditatus sum. Bonum mihi quia humiliasti me : ut discam justificationes tuas. Bonum mihi lex oris tui, super millia auri et argenti. JOD. Manus tuæ fecerunt me, et plasmaverunt me ; da mihi intellectum, et discam mandata tua. Qui timent te videbunt me, et lætabuntur, quia in verba tua supersperavi. Cognovi, Domine, quia æquitas judicia tua, et in veritate tua humiliasti me. Fiat misericordia tua ut consoletur me, secundum eloquium tuum servo tuo. Veniant mihi miserationes tuæ, et vivam, quia lex tua meditatio mea est. Confundantur superbi, quia injuste iniquitatem fecerunt in me ; ego autem exercebor in mandatis tuis. Convertantur mihi timentes te, et qui noverunt testimonia tua. Fiat cor meum immaculatum in justificationibus tuis, ut non confundar. CAPH. Defecit in salutare tuum anima mea, et in verbum tuum supersperavi. Defecerunt oculi mei in eloquium tuum, dicentes : Quando consolaberis me ? Quia factus sum sicut uter in pruina ; justificationes tuas non sum oblitus. Quot sunt dies servi tui ? quando facies de persequentibus me judicium ? Narraverunt mihi iniqui fabulationes, sed non ut lex tua. Omnia mandata tua veritas, inique persecuti sunt me, adjuva me. Paulo minus consummaverunt me in terra ; ego autem non dereliqui mandata tua. Secundum misericordiam tuam vivifica me, et custodiam testimonia oris tui. LAMED. In æternum, Domine, verbum tuum permanet in cælo. In generationem et generationem veritas tua ; fundasti terram, et permanet. Ordinatione tua perseverat dies, quoniam omnia serviunt tibi. Nisi quod lex tua meditatio mea est, tunc forte periissem in humilitate mea. In æternum non obliviscar justificationes tuas, quia in ipsis vivificasti me. Tuus sum ego ; salvum me fac, quoniam justificationes tuas exquisivi. Me exspectaverunt peccatores ut perderent me ; testimonia tua intellexi. Omnis consummationis vidi finem, latum mandatum tuum nimis. MEM. Quomodo dilexi legem tuam, Domine ! tota die meditatio mea est. Super inimicos meos prudentem me fecisti mandato tuo, quia in æternum mihi est. Super omnes docentes me intellexi, quia testimonia tua meditatio mea est. Super senes intellexi, quia mandata tua quæsivi. Ab omni via mala prohibui pedes meos, ut custodiam verba tua. A judiciis tuis non declinavi, quia tu legem posuisti mihi. Quam dulcia faucibus meis eloquia tua ! super mel ori meo. A mandatis tuis intellexi ; propterea odivi omnem viam iniquitatis. NUN. Lucerna pedibus meis verbum tuum, et lumen semitis meis. Juravi et statui custodire judicia justitiæ tuæ. Humiliatus sum usquequaque, Domine ; vivifica me secundum verbum tuum. Voluntaria oris mei beneplacita fac, Domine, et judicia tua doce me. Anima mea in manibus meis semper, et legem tuam non sum oblitus. Posuerunt peccatores laqueum mihi, et de mandatis tuis non erravi. Hæreditate acquisivi testimonia tua in æternum, quia exsultatio cordis mei sunt. Inclinavi cor meum ad faciendas justificationes tuas, in æternum, propter retributionem. SAMECH. Iniquos odio habui, et legem tuam dilexi. Adjutor et susceptor meus es tu, et in verbum tuum supersperavi. Declinate a me, maligni, et scrutabor mandata Dei mei. Suscipe me secundum eloquium tuum, et vivam, et non confundas me ab exspectatione mea. Adjuva me, et salvus ero, et meditabor in justificationibus tuis semper. Sprevisti omnes discedentes a judiciis tuis, quia injusta cogitatio eorum. Prævaricantes reputavi omnes peccatores terræ ; ideo dilexi testimonia tua. Confige timore tuo carnes meas ; a judiciis enim tuis timui. AIN. Feci judicium et justitiam, non tradas me calumniantibus me. Suscipe servum tuum in bonum : non calumnientur me superbi. Oculi mei defecerunt in salutare tuum, et in eloquium justitiæ tuæ. Fac cum servo tuo secundum misericordiam tuam, et justificationes tuas doce me. Servus tuus sum ego, da mihi intellectum, ut sciam testimonia tua. Tempus faciendi, Domine ; dissipaverunt legem tuam. Ideo dilexi mandata tua super aurum et topazion. Propterea ad omnia mandata tua dirigebar ; omnem viam iniquam odio habui. PHE. Mirabilia testimonia tua, ideo scrutata est ea anima mea. Declaratio sermonum tuorum illuminat, et intellectum dat parvulis. Os meum aperui, et attraxi spiritum, quia mandata tua desiderabam. Aspice in me, et miserere mei, secundum judicium diligentium nomen tuum. Gressus meos dirige secundum eloquium tuum, et non dominetur mei omnis injustitia. Redime me a calumniis hominum ut custodiam mandata tua. Faciem tuam illumina super servum tuum, et doce me justificationes tuas. Exitus aquarum deduxerunt oculi mei, quia non custodierunt legem tuam. SADE. Justus es, Domine, et rectum judicium tuum. Mandasti justitiam testimonia tua et veritatem tuam nimis. Tabescere me fecit zelus meus, quia obliti sunt verba tua inimici mei. Ignitum eloquium tuum vehementer, et servus tuus dilexit illud. Adolescentulus sum ego et contemptus ; justificationes tuas non sum oblitus. Justitia tua, justitia in æternum, et lex tua veritas. Tribulatio et angustia invenerunt me ; mandata tua meditatio mea est. Æquitas testimonia tua in æternum ; intellectum da mihi, et vivam. COPH. Clamavi in toto corde meo : exaudi me, Domine ; justificationes tuas requiram. Clamavi ad te ; salvum me fac, ut custodiam mandata tua. Præveni in maturitate, et clamavi : quia in verba tua supersperavi. Prævenerunt oculi mei ad te diluculo, ut meditarer eloquia tua. Vocem meam audi secundum misericordiam tuam, Domine, et secundum judicium tuum vivifica me. Appropinquaverunt persequentes me iniquitati, a lege autem tua longe facti sunt. Prope es tu, Domine, et omnes viæ tuæ veritas. Initio cognovi de testimoniis tuis, quia in æternum fundasti ea. RES. Vide humilitatem meam, et eripe me, quia legem tuam non sum oblitus. Judica judicium meum, et redime me : propter eloquium tuum vivifica me. Longe a peccatoribus salus, quia justificationes tuas non exquisierunt. Misericordiæ tuæ multæ, Domine ; secundum judicium tuum vivifica me. Multi qui persequuntur me, et tribulant me ; a testimoniis tuis non declinavi. Vidi prævaricantes et tabescebam, quia eloquia tua non custodierunt. Vide quoniam mandata tua dilexi, Domine ; in misericordia tua vivifica me. Principium verborum tuorum veritas ; in æternum omnia judicia justitiæ tuæ. SIN. Principes persecuti sunt me gratis, et a verbis tuis formidavit cor meum. Lætabor ego super eloquia tua, sicut qui invenit spolia multa. Iniquitatem odio habui, et abominatus sum, legem autem tuam dilexi. Septies in die laudem dixi tibi, super judicia justitiæ tuæ. Pax multa diligentibus legem tuam, et non est illis scandalum. Exspectabam salutare tuum, Domine, et mandata tua dilexi. Custodivit anima mea testimonia tua, et dilexit ea vehementer. Servavi mandata tua et testimonia tua, quia omnes viæ meæ in conspectu tuo. TAU. Appropinquet deprecatio mea in conspectu tuo, Domine ; juxta eloquium tuum da mihi intellectum. Intret postulatio mea in conspectu tuo ; secundum eloquium tuum eripe me. Eructabunt labia mea hymnum, cum docueris me justificationes tuas. Pronuntiabit lingua mea eloquium tuum, quia omnia mandata tua æquitas. Fiat manus tua ut salvet me, quoniam mandata tua elegi. Concupivi salutare tuum, Domine, et lex tua meditatio mea est. Vivet anima mea, et laudabit te, et judicia tua adjuvabunt me. Erravi sicut ovis quæ periit ; quære servum tuum, quia mandata tua non sum oblitus.
Psalm 119 Text (KJV) Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes. With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word. Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me. My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times. Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments. Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies. Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word. I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes. Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word. Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me. I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame. I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end. Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight. Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way. Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear. Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good. Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word. So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever. And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me. The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law. I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself. Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law. Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law. This I had, because I kept thy precepts. Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words. I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word. I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law. At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments. I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts. The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word. Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart. Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law. It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word. I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight. Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts. Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies. Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word. Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me? For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes. How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law. All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts. Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants. Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction. I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me. I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts. The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies. I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad. O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word. Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments. My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts. Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end. I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors. Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness. Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law. Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments. Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name. Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law. Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments. Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful. My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts. Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth. Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights. The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes. I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies. I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word. Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment. They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law. Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth. Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law. Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word. Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes. Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments. Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies. I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word. Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness. Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments. Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments. My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly. I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee. Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word. Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word. My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes. My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness. Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts. I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight. Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me. I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.
