AB - Psalms - 119

119:1  Alleluia. Blessed are the blameless in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.

119:2  Blessed are they that search out His testimonies; they will diligently seek Him with the whole heart.

119:3  For they that work iniquity have not walked in His ways.

119:4  You have commanded us diligently to keep Your precepts.

119:5  O that my ways were directed to keep Your statutes.

119:6  Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect to all Your commandments.

119:7  I will give You thanks with uprightness of heart, when I have learned the judgments of Your righteousness.

119:8  I will keep Your statutes; O do not utterly forsake me!

119:9  How shall a young man direct his way? By keeping Your words.

119:10  With my whole heart have I diligently sought You; cast me not away from Your commandments.

119:11  I have hidden Your oracles in my heart, that I might not sin against You.

119:12  Blessed are You, O Lord; teach me Your statutes.

119:13  With my lips have I declared all the judgments of Your mouth.

119:14  I have delighted in the way of Your testimonies, as much as in all riches.

119:15  I will meditate on Your commandments, and consider Your ways.

119:16  I will meditate on Your statutes; I will not forget Your words.

119:17  Render a recompense to Your servant; so shall I live, and keep Your words.

119:18  Unveil my eyes, and I shall perceive the wondrous things of Your law.

119:19  I am a stranger in the earth; hide not Your commandments from me.

119:20  My soul has longed exceedingly for Your judgments at all times.

119:21  You have rebuked the proud; cursed are they that turn aside from Your commandments.

119:22  Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have sought out Your testimonies.

119:23  For princes sat and spoke against me; but Your servant was meditating on Your statutes.

119:24  For Your testimonies are my meditation, and Your statutes are my counselors.

119:25  My soul has cleaved to the ground; revive me according to Your word.

119:26  I declared my ways, and You heard me; teach me Your statutes.

119:27  Instruct me in the ways of Your statutes; and I will meditate on Your wondrous works.

119:28  My soul has slumbered for sorrow; strengthen me with Your words.

119:29  Remove from me the way of iniquity; and be merciful to me by Your law.

119:30  I have chosen the way of truth; and have not forgotten Your judgments.

119:31  I have cleaved to Your testimonies, O Lord; put me not to shame.

119:32  I ran the way of Your commandments, when You enlarged my heart.

119:33  Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes, and I will seek it out continually.

119:34  Instruct me, and I will search out Your law, and will keep it with my whole heart.

119:35  Guide me in the path of Your commandments; for I have delighted in it.

119:36  Incline my heart to Your testimonies, and not to covetousness.

119:37  Turn away my eyes that I may not behold vanity; revive me in Your way.

119:38  Confirm Your oracle to Your servant, that he may fear You.

119:39  Take away my reproach which I have feared; for Your judgments are good.

119:40  Behold, I have desired Your commandments; revive me in Your righteousness.

119:41  And let Your mercy come upon me, O Lord; even Your salvation, according to Your word.

119:42  And so I shall render an answer to them that reproach me; for I have trusted in Your words.

119:43  And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in Your judgments.

119:44  So shall I keep Your law continually, even forever and ever.

119:45  I walked also at large; for I sought out Your commandments.

119:46  And I spoke of Your testimonies before kings, and was not ashamed.

119:47  And I meditated on Your commandments, which I loved exceedingly.

119:48  And I lifted up my hands to Your commandments which I loved; and I meditated in Your statutes.

119:49  Remember Your words to Your servant, upon which You have made me hope.

119:50  This has comforted me in my affliction; for Your word has revived me.

119:51  The proud have transgressed exceedingly; but I swerved not from Your law.

119:52  I remembered Your judgment of old, O Lord; and was comforted.

119:53  Despair took hold upon me, because of the sinners who forsake Your law.

119:54  Your statutes were my sons in the place of my sojourning.

119:55  I remembered Your name, O Lord, in the night, and kept Your law.

119:56  This I had, because I diligently sought Your statutes.

119:57  You are my portion, O Lord; I said that I would keep Your law.

119:58  I besought Your favor with my whole heart; have mercy upon me according to Your word.

119:59  I thought on Your ways, and turned my feet to Your testimonies.

119:60  I prepared myself, (and was not terrified) to keep Your commandments.

119:61  The snares of sinners entangled me; but I forgot not Your law.

119:62  At midnight I arose, to give thanks to You for the judgments of Your righteousness.

119:63  I am a companion of all them that fear You, and of them that keep Your commandments.

119:64  O Lord, the earth is full of Your mercy; teach me Your statutes.

119:65  You have wrought kindly with Your servant, O Lord, according to Your word.

119:66  Teach me kindness, instruction, and knowledge; for I have believed Your commandments.

119:67  Before I was afflicted, I transgressed; therefore have I kept Your word.

119:68  Good are You, O Lord; therefore in Your goodness teach me Your statutes.

119:69  The injustice of the proud has been multiplied against me; but I will search out Your commandments with all my heart.

119:70  Their heart has been curdled like milk; but I have meditated on Your law.

119:71  It is good for me that You have afflicted me; that I might learn Your statutes.

119:72  The law of Your mouth is better to me than thousands of coins of gold and silver.

119:73  Your hands have made me, and fashioned me; instruct me, that I may learn Your commandments.

119:74  They that fear You will see me and rejoice; for I have hoped in Your words.

119:75  I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are righteousness, and that You in truthfulness have afflicted me.

119:76  Let, I pray, Your mercy be to comfort me, according to Your word to Your servant.

119:77  Let Your compassions come to me, that I may live; for Your law is my meditation.

119:78  Let the proud be ashamed; for they transgressed against me unjustly; but I will meditate on Your commandments.

119:79  Let those that fear You, and those that know Your testimonies, turn to me.

119:80  Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes, that I may not be ashamed.

119:81  My soul faints for Your salvation; I have hoped in Your words.

119:82  My eyes failed from searching for Your word, saying, When will You comfort me?

119:83  For I have become as a bottle in the frost; yet I have not forgotten Your statutes.

119:84  How many are the days of Your servant? When will You execute judgment for me on them that persecute me?

119:85  Transgressors told me idle tales; but not according to Your law, O Lord.

119:86  All Your commandments are truth; they persecuted me unjustly; help me!

119:87  They nearly made an end of me in the earth; but I forsook not Your commandments.

119:88  Revive me according to Your mercy; so shall I keep the testimonies of Your mouth.

119:89  Your word, O Lord, abides in heaven forever.

119:90  Your truth endures to all generations; You have founded the earth, and it abides.

119:91  The day continues by Your arrangement; for all things are Your servants.

119:92  Were it not that Your law is my meditation, then I should have perished in my affliction.

119:93  I will never forget Your statutes; for with them You have revived me.

119:94  I am Yours, save me; for I have sought out Your statutes.

119:95  Sinners laid wait for me to destroy me; but I understood Your testimonies.

119:96  I have seen an end of all perfection; but Your commandment is very broad.

119:97  How I have loved Your law, O Lord! It is my meditation all the day.

119:98  You have made me wiser than my enemies in Your commandment; for it is mine forever.

119:99  I have more understanding than all my teachers; for Your testimonies are my meditation.

119:100  I understand more that the aged; because I have sought out Your commandments.

119:101  I have kept back my feet from every evil way, that I might keep Your words.

119:102  I have not departed from Your judgments; for You have instructed me.

119:103  How sweet are Your oracles to my taste! More so than honey to my mouth!

119:104  I gain understanding by Your commandments; therefore I have hated every way of unrighteousness.

119:105  Your law is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my paths.

119:106  I have sworn and determined to keep the judgments of Your righteousness.

119:107  I have been very greatly afflicted, O Lord; revive me, according to Your word.

119:108  Accept, O Lord, the freewill offerings of my mouth, and teach me Your judgments.

119:109  My soul is continually in Your hands; and I have not forgotten Your law.

119:110  Sinners spread a snare for me; but I erred not from Your commandments.

119:111  I have inherited Your testimonies forever; for they are the joy of my heart.

119:112  I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes forever, in return for Your mercies.

119:113  I have hated transgressors; but I have loved Your law.

119:114  You are my helper and my supporter; I have hoped in Your words.

119:115  Depart from me, You evildoers; for I will search out the commandments of my God.

119:116  Uphold me according to Your word, and revive me; and make me not ashamed of my hope.

119:117  Help me, and I shall be saved; and I will meditate on Your statutes continually.

119:118  You have rejected all that depart from Your statutes; for their inner thoughts are unrighteousness.

119:119  I have reckoned all the sinners of the earth as transgressors; therefore have I loved Your testimonies.

119:120  Penetrate my flesh with Your fear; for I am afraid of Your judgments.

119:121  I have done judgment and justice; deliver me not up to them that injure me.

119:122  Receive Your servant for good; let not the proud accuse me falsely.

119:123  My eyes have failed for Your salvation, and for the word of Your righteousness.

119:124  Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy, and teach me Your statutes.

119:125  I am Your servant; instruct me, and I shall know Your testimonies.

119:126  It is time for the Lord to work; they have utterly broken Your law.

119:127  Therefore have I loved Your commandments more than gold, or topaz.

119:128  Therefore I directed myself according to all Your commandments; I have hated every unjust way.

119:129  Your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soul has sought them out.

119:130  The manifestation of Your words will enlighten, and instruct the simple.

119:131  I opened my mouth, and drew breath; for I earnestly longed after Your commandments.

119:132  Look upon me and have mercy upon me, after the manner of them that love Your name.

119:133  Order my steps according to Your word; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

119:134  Deliver me from the false accusation of men; so will I keep Your commandments.

119:135  Cause Your face to shine upon Your servant; and teach me Your statutes.

119:136  My eyes have been bathed in streams of water, because I kept not Your law.

119:137  Righteous are You, O Lord, and upright are Your judgments.

119:138  You have commanded righteousness and perfect truth, as Your testimonies.

119:139  Your zeal has quite wasted me; because my enemies have forgotten Your words.

119:140  Your word has been very fully tried; and Your servant loves it.

119:141  I am young and despised; yet I have not forgotten Your statutes.

119:142  Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Your law is truth.

119:143  Afflictions and distresses found me; but Your commandments were my meditation.

119:144  Your testimonies are an everlasting righteousness; instruct me, and I shall live.

119:145  I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord; I will search out Your statutes.

119:146  I cried to You; save me, and I will keep Your testimonies.

119:147  I arose before the dawn, and cried; I hoped in Your words.

119:148  My eyes prevented the dawn, that I might meditate on Your oracles.

119:149  Hear my voice, O Lord, according to Your mercy; revive me according to Your judgment.

119:150  They have drawn near who persecuted me unlawfully; and they are far removed from Your law.

119:151  You are near, O Lord; and all Your ways are truth.

119:152  I have known of old concerning Your testimonies, that You have founded them forever.

119:153  Look upon my affliction, and rescue me; for I have not forgotten Your law.

119:154  Plead my cause, and ransom me; revive me because of Your word.

119:155  Salvation is far from sinners; for they have not searched out Your statutes.

119:156  Your mercies, O Lord, are many; revive me according to Your judgment.

119:157  Many are they that persecute me and oppress me; but I have not declined from Your testimonies.

119:158  I beheld men acting foolishly, and I pined away; for they kept not Your oracles.

119:159  Behold, I have loved Your commandments, O Lord; revive me in Your mercy.

119:160  The beginning of Your words is truth; and all the judgments of Your righteousness endure forever.

119:161  Princes persecuted me without a cause, but my heart feared because of Your words.

119:162  I will rejoice because of Your oracles, as one that finds much spoil.

119:163  I hate and abhor unrighteousness; but I love Your law.

119:164  Seven times in a day have I praised You because of the judgments of Your righteousness.

119:165  Great peace have they that love Your law; and there is no stumbling block to them.

119:166  I have waited for Your salvation, O Lord, and have loved Your commandments.

119:167  My soul has kept Your testimonies, and loved them exceedingly.

119:168  I have kept Your commandments and Your testimonies; for all my ways are before You, O Lord.

119:169  Let my supplication come near before You, O Lord; instruct me according to Your oracle.

119:170  Let my petition come in before You, O Lord; deliver me according to Your word.

119:171  Let my lips utter a hymn, when You shall have taught me Your statutes.

119:172  Let my tongue utter Your oracles; for all Your commandments are righteous.

119:173  Let Your hand be prompt to save me; for I have chosen Your commandments.

119:174  I have longed after Your salvation, O Lord; and Your law is my meditation.

119:175  My soul shall live, and shall praise You; and Your judgments shall help me.

119:176  I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Your servant; for I have not forgotten Your commandments.
