Darby - Psalms - 119

119:1  ALEPH. Blessed are the perfect in the way, who walk in the law of Jehovah.

119:2  Blessed are they that observe his testimonies, that seek him with the whole heart;

119:3  Who also do no unrighteousness: they walk in his ways.

119:4  Thou hast enjoined thy precepts, to be kept diligently.

119:5  Oh that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

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

119:7  I will give thee thanks with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.

119:8  I will keep thy statutes: forsake me not utterly.

119:9  BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his path? by taking heed according to thy word.

119:10  With my whole heart have I sought thee: let me not wander from thy commandments.

119:11  Thy *word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.

119:12  Blessed art thou, Jehovah! teach me thy statutes.

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

119:14  I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as [much as] in all wealth.

119:15  I will meditate upon thy precepts, and have respect unto thy paths.

119:16  I delight myself in thy statutes; I will not forget thy word.

119:17  GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant [and] I shall live; and I will keep thy word.

119:18  Open mine eyes, and I shall behold wondrous things out of thy law.

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

119:20  My soul breaketh for longing after thy judgments at all times.

119:21  Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed, who wander from thy commandments.

119:22  Roll off from me reproach and contempt; for I observe thy testimonies.

119:23  Princes also did sit [and] talk together against me: thy servant doth meditate in thy statutes.

119:24  Thy testimonies also are my delight [and] my counsellors.

119:25  DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken me according to thy word.

119:26  I have declared my ways, and thou hast answered me: teach me thy statutes.

119:27  Make me to understand the way of thy precepts, and I will meditate upon thy wondrous works.

119:28  My soul melteth for sadness: strengthen me according to thy word.

119:29  Remove from me the way of falsehood, and graciously grant me thy law.

119:30  I have chosen the way of faithfulness; thy judgments have I set [before me].

119:31  I cleave unto thy testimonies; Jehovah, let me not be ashamed.

119:32  I will run the way of thy commandments when thou shalt enlarge my heart.

119:33  HE. Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of thy statutes, and I will observe it [unto] the end.

119:34  Give me understanding, and I will observe thy law; and I will keep it with [my] whole heart.

119:35  Make me to walk in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.

119:36  Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to gain.

119:37  Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; quicken me in thy way.

119:38  Establish thy *word unto thy servant, who is [devoted] to thy fear.

119:39  Turn away my reproach which I fear; for thy judgments are good.

119:40  Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.

119:41  VAU. And let thy loving-kindness come unto me, O Jehovah, — thy salvation according to thy *word.

119:42  So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me; for I confide in thy word.

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

119:44  Then will I keep thy law continually, for ever and ever;

119:45  And I will walk at liberty, for I have sought thy precepts;

119:46  And I will speak of thy testimonies before kings, and will not be ashamed;

119:47  And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved;

119:48  And I will lift up my hands unto thy commandments, which I have loved, and I will meditate in thy statutes.

119:49  ZAIN. Remember the word for thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.

119:50  This is my comfort in mine affliction; for thy *word hath quickened me.

119:51  The proud have derided me beyond measure: I have not declined from thy law.

119:52  I remembered thy judgments of old, O Jehovah, and have comforted myself.

119:53  Burning indignation hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked who forsake thy law.

119:54  Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

119:55  I have remembered thy name, O Jehovah, in the night, and have kept thy law.

119:56  This I have had, because I have observed thy precepts.

119:57  CHETH. My portion, O Jehovah, I have said, is to keep thy words.

119:58  I have sought thy favour with [my] whole heart: be gracious unto me according to thy *word.

119:59  I have thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.

119:60  I have made haste, and not delayed, to keep thy commandments.

119:61  The bands of the wicked have wrapped me round: I have not forgotten thy law.

119:62  At midnight I rise up to give thanks unto thee, because of thy righteous judgments.

119:63  I am the companion of all that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.

119:64  The earth, O Jehovah, is full of thy loving-kindness: teach me thy statutes.

119:65  TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Jehovah, according to thy word.

119:66  Teach me good discernment and knowledge; for I have believed in thy commandments.

119:67  Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep thy *word.

119:68  Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.

119:69  The proud have forged falsehood against me: I will observe thy precepts with [my] whole heart.

119:70  Their heart is as fat as grease: as for me, I delight in thy law.

119:71  It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes.

119:72  The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.

119:73  YOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, and I will learn thy commandments.

119:74  They that fear thee will see me, and rejoice; because I have hoped in thy word.

119:75  I know, Jehovah, that thy Judgments are righteousness, and that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.

119:76  Oh let thy loving-kindness be for my comfort, according to thy *word unto thy servant.

119:77  Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live; for thy law is my delight.

119:78  Let the proud be ashamed; for they have acted perversely towards me with falsehood: as for me, I meditate in thy precepts.

119:79  Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that know thy testimonies.

119:80  Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes, that I be not ashamed.

119:81  CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation; I hope in thy word.

119:82  Mine eyes fail for thy *word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?

119:83  For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; I do not forget thy statutes.

119:84  How many shall be the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

119:85  The proud have digged pits for me, which is not according to thy law.

119:86  All thy commandments are faithfulness. They persecute me wrongfully: help thou me.

119:87  They had almost consumed me upon the earth; but as for me, I forsook not thy precepts.

119:88  Quicken me according to thy loving-kindness, and I will keep the testimony of thy mouth.

119:89  LAMED. For ever, O Jehovah, thy word is settled in the heavens.

119:90  Thy faithfulness is from generation to generation: thou hast established the earth, and it standeth.

119:91  By thine ordinances they stand this day; for all things are thy servants.

119:92  Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction.

119:93  I will never forget thy precepts; for by them thou hast quickened me.

119:94  I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.

119:95  The wicked have awaited me to destroy me; [but] I attend unto thy testimonies.

119:96  I have seen an end of all perfection: thy commandment is exceeding broad.

119:97  MEM. Oh how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day.

119:98  Thy commandments make me wiser than mine enemies; for they are ever with me.

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

119:100  I understand more than the aged, because I have observed thy precepts.

119:101  I have refrained my feet from every evil path, that I might keep thy word.

119:102  I have not departed from thy judgments; for it is thou that hast taught me.

119:103  How sweet are thy *words unto my taste! more than honey to my mouth!

119:104  From thy precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false path.

119:105  NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

119:106  I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.

119:107  I am afflicted very much; O Jehovah, quicken me according to thy word.

119:108  Accept, I beseech thee, Jehovah, the voluntary-offerings of my mouth, and teach me thy judgments.

119:109  My life is continually in my hand; but I do not forget thy law.

119:110  The wicked have laid a snare for me; but I have not wandered from thy precepts.

119:111  Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever; for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

119:112  I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes for ever, unto the end.

119:113  SAMECH. The double-minded have I hated; but thy law do I love.

119:114  Thou art my hiding-place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

119:115  Depart from me, ye evil-doers; and I will observe the commandments of myGod.

119:116  Uphold me according to thy *word, that I may live; and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

119:117  Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe; and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.

119:118  Thou hast set at nought all them that wander from thy statutes; for their deceit is falsehood.

119:119  Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth [like] dross; therefore I love thy testimonies.

119:120  My flesh shuddereth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.

119:121  AIN. I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.

119:122  Be surety for thy servant for good; let not the proud oppress me.

119:123  Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the *word of thy righteousness.

119:124  Deal with thy servant according to thy loving-kindness, and teach me thy statutes.

119:125  I am thy servant; give me understanding that I may know thy testimonies.

119:126  It is time for Jehovah to work: they have made void thy law.

119:127  Therefore I love thy commandments above gold, yea, above fine gold.

119:128  Therefore I regard all [thy] precepts concerning all things to be right: I hate every false path.

119:129  PE. Thy testimonies are wonderful; therefore doth my soul observe them.

119:130  The entrance of thy words giveth light, giving understanding unto the simple.

119:131  I opened my mouth wide and panted; for I longed for thy commandments.

119:132  Turn unto me, and be gracious unto me, as thou art wont to do unto those that love thy name.

119:133  Establish my steps in thy *word; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

119:134  Deliver me from the oppression of man; and I will keep thy precepts.

119:135  Make thy face to shine upon thy servant, and teach me thy statutes.

119:136  Mine eyes run down with streams of water, because they keep not thy law.

119:137  TZADE. Righteous art thou, Jehovah, and upright are thy judgments.

119:138  Thou hast commanded thy testimonies in righteousness and exceeding faithfulness.

119:139  My zeal destroyeth me, because mine oppressors have forgotten thy words.

119:140  Thy *word is exceeding pure, and thy servant loveth it.

119:141  I am little and despised: thy precepts have I not forgotten.

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

119:143  Trouble and anguish have taken hold upon me: thy commandments are my delights.

119:144  The righteousness of thy testimonies is for ever: give me understanding, and I shall live.

119:145  KOPH. I have called with [my] whole heart; answer me, O Jehovah: I will observe thy statutes.

119:146  I call upon thee; save me, and I will keep thy testimonies.

119:147  I anticipate the morning-dawn and I cry: I hope in thy word.

119:148  Mine eyes anticipate the night-watches, that I may meditate in thy *word.

119:149  Hear my voice according to thy loving-kindness: O Jehovah, quicken me according to thy judgment.

119:150  They have drawn nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.

119:151  Thou, Jehovah, art near, and all thy commandments are truth.

119:152  From thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.

119:153  RESH. See mine affliction, and deliver me; for I have not forgotten thy law.

119:154  Plead my cause, and redeem me: quicken me according to thy *word.

119:155  Salvation is far from the wicked; for they seek not thy statutes.

119:156  Many are thy tender mercies, O Jehovah; quicken me according to thy judgments.

119:157  Many are my persecutors and mine oppressors; I have not declined from thy testimonies.

119:158  I beheld them that deal treacherously, and was grieved; because they kept not thy *word.

119:159  See how I have loved thy precepts: quicken me, O Jehovah, according to thy loving-kindness.

119:160  The sum of thy word is truth, and every righteous judgment of thine is for ever.

119:161  SHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause; but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.

119:162  I have joy in thy *word, as one that findeth great spoil.

119:163  I hate and abhor falsehood; thy law do I love.

119:164  Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.

119:165  Great peace have they that love thy law, and nothing doth stumble them.

119:166  I have hoped for thy salvation, O Jehovah, and have done thy commandments.

119:167  My soul hath kept thy testimonies, and I love them exceedingly.

119:168  I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies; for all my ways are before thee.

119:169  TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, Jehovah: give me understanding according to thy word.

119:170  Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy *word.

119:171  My lips shall pour forth praise when thou hast taught me thy statutes.

119:172  My tongue shall speak aloud of thy *word; for all thy commandments are righteousness.

119:173  Let thy hand be for my help; for I have chosen thy precepts.

119:174  I have longed for thy salvation, O Jehovah, and thy law is my delight.

119:175  Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.

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