119:1  ALEPH. Blessed [are] the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.

119:2  Blessed [are] they that keep his testimonies, [and that] seek him with the whole heart.

119:3  They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

119:4  Thou hast commanded [us] to keep thy precepts diligently.

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

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

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

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

119:9  BETH. Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed [to it], according to thy word.

119:10  With my whole heart have I sought thee: O 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, O LORD: 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 riches.

119:15  I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect to thy ways.

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

119:17  GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, [that] I may live, and keep thy word.

119:18  Open thou my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

119:19  I [am] a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.

119:20  My soul breaketh for the longing [that it hath] to thy judgments at all times.

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

119:22  Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.

119:23  Princes also did sit [and] speak against me: [but] thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.

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

119:25  DALETH. My soul cleaveth to the dust: revive thou me according to thy word.

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

119:27  Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.

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

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

119:30  I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid [before me].

119:31  I have adhered to thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.

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

119:33  HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it [to] the end.

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

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

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

119:37  Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity; [and] revive thou me in thy way.

119:38  Establish thy word to 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: revive me in thy righteousness.

119:41  VAU. Let thy mercies come also to me, O LORD, [even] thy salvation, according to thy word.

119:42  So shall I have with which to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.

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

119:44  So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.

119:45  And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.

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

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

119:48  My hands also will I lift to thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.

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

119:50  This [is] my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath revived me.

119:51  The proud have had me greatly in derision: [yet] I have not declined from thy law.

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

119:53  Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that 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 LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.

119:56  This I had, because I kept thy precepts.

119:57  CHETH. [Thou art] my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.

119:58  I entreated thy favor with [my] whole heart: be merciful to me according to thy word.

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

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

119:61  The bands of the wicked have robbed me: [but] I have not forgotten thy law.

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

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

119:64  The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.

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

119:66  Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.

119:67  Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.

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

119:69  The proud have forged a lie against me: [but] I will keep thy precepts with [my] whole heart.

119:70  Their heart is as gross as fat; [but] 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 to me than thousands of gold and silver.

119:73  JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

119:74  They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.

119:75  I know, O LORD, that thy judgments [are] right, and [that] thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.

119:76  Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word to thy servant.

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

119:78  Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: [but] I will meditate in thy precepts.

119:79  Let those that fear thee turn to me, and those that have known thy testimonies.

119:80  Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I may not be ashamed.

119:81  CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: [but] I hope in thy word.

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

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

119:84  How many [are] 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 [are] not according to thy law.

119:86  All thy commandments [are] faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.

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

119:88  Revive me after thy loving-kindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.

119:89  LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

119:90  Thy faithfulness [is] to all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.

119:91  They continue this day according to thy ordinances: for all [are] thy servants.

119:92  Unless thy law [had been] my delights, I should then have perished in my affliction.

119:93  I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast revived me.

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

119:95  The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: [but] I will consider thy testimonies.

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

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

119:98  Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than my 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 ancients, because I keep thy precepts.

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

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

119:103  How sweet are thy words to my taste! [yes, sweeter] than honey to my mouth!

119:104  Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.

119:105  NUN. Thy word [is] a lamp to my feet, and a light to 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: revive me, O LORD, according to thy word.

119:108  Accept, I beseech thee, the free-will-offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.

119:109  My soul [is] continually in my hand: yet I do not forget thy law.

119:110  The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.

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

119:112  I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes always, [even to] the end.

119:113  SAMECH. I hate [vain] thoughts: 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: for I will keep the commandments of my God.

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

119:117  Support me, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect to thy statutes continually.

119:118  Thou hast trodden down all them that err 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 trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.

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

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

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

119:124  Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy, 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 [thee], LORD, to work: [for] they have made void thy law.

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

119:128  Therefore I esteem all [thy] precepts [concerning] all [things to be] right; [and] I hate every false way.

119:129  PE. Thy testimonies [are] wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.

119:130  The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding to the simple.

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

119:132  Look thou upon me, and be merciful to me, as thou usest to do to those that love thy name.

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

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

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

119:136  Rivers of waters run down my eyes, because they keep not thy law.

119:137  TSADDI. Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, and upright [are] thy judgments.

119:138  Thy testimonies [that] thou hast commanded [are] righteous and very faithful.

119:139  My zeal hath consumed me; because my enemies have forgotten thy words.

119:140  Thy word [is] very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.

119:141  I [am] small and despised: [yet] I do not forget thy precepts.

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

119:143  Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: [yet] thy commandments [are] my delights.

119:144  The righteousness of thy testimonies [is] everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.

119:145  KOPH. I cried with [my] whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes.

119:146  I cried to thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.

119:147  I came before the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.

119:148  My eyes anticipated the [night] watches, that I might meditate in thy word.

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

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

119:151  Thou [art] near, O LORD; and all thy commandments [are] truth.

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

119:153  RESH. Consider my affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.

119:154  Plead my cause, and deliver me: revive me according to thy word.

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

119:156  Great [are] thy tender mercies, O LORD: revive me according to thy judgments.

119:157  Many [are] my persecutors and my enemies; [yet] I do not decline from thy testimonies.

119:158  I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.

119:159  Consider how I love thy precepts: revive me, O LORD, according to thy loving-kindness.

119:160  Thy word [is] true [from] the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments [endureth] for ever.

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

119:162  I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.

119:163  I hate and abhor lying: [but] 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 who love thy law: and nothing shall cause them to stumble.

119:166  LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and performed thy commandments.

119:169  TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: 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 utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.

119:172  My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments [are] righteousness.

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

119:174  I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law [is] my delight.
