ACV - Psalms - 119

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

119:2  Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, that seek him with the whole heart.

119:3  Yea, they do no unrighteousness. They walk in his ways.

119:4  Thou have commanded thy precepts, that we should observe them diligently.

119:5  O that my ways were established to observe thy statutes!

119:6  Then I shall not be put to shame when I have respect for all thy commandments.

119:7  I will give thanks to thee with uprightness of heart when I learn thy righteous judgments.

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

119:9  With what shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to thy word.

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

119:11  I have laid thy word up in my heart that I might not sin against thee.

119:12  Blessed are thou, O Jehovah. Teach me thy statutes.

119:13  With my lips I have declared all the ordinances 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 on thy precepts, and have respect for thy ways.

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

119:17  Deal bountifully with thy servant that I may live, so I will observe thy word.

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

119:19  I am a sojourner in the earth. Hide not thy commandments from me.

119:20  My soul breaks for the longing that it has to thine ordinances at all times.

119:21  Thou have rebuked the proud, who are cursed, who wander from thy commandments.

119:22  Take away from me reproach and contempt, for I have kept thy testimonies.

119:23  Rulers also sat and talked against me, but thy servant meditated on thy statutes.

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

119:25  My soul clings to the dust. Enliven thou me according to thy word.

119:26  I declared my ways, and thou answered me. Teach me thy statutes.

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

119:28  My soul melts for heaviness. Strengthen thou me according to thy word.

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

119:30  I have chosen the way of faithfulness. I have set thine ordinances.

119:31  I cling to thy testimonies. O Jehovah, put me not to shame.

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

119:33  Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of thy statutes, and I shall keep it to the end.

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

119:35  Make me to go in the path of thy commandments, for therein 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 enliven me in thy ways.

119:38  Confirm to thy servant thy word, which is for the fear of thee.

119:39  Turn away my reproach of which I am afraid, for thine ordinances are good.

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

119:41  Let thy loving kindnesses also come to me, O Jehovah, even thy salvation, according to thy word.

119:42  So I shall have an answer for him who reproaches 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 thine ordinances.

119:44  So shall I observe thy law continually forever and ever.

119:45  And I shall walk at liberty, for I have sought thy precepts.

119:46  I also will speak of thy testimonies before kings, and shall not be put to shame.

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

119:48  I will also lift up my hands to thy commandments, which I have loved, and I will meditate on thy statutes.

119:49  Remember the word to thy servant, because thou have made me to hope.

119:50  This is my comfort in my affliction, for thy word has revived me.

119:51  The proud have had me greatly in derision, yet I have not swerved from thy law.

119:52  I have remembered thine ordinances of old, O Jehovah, and have comforted myself.

119:53  Hot indignation has 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 observed thy law.

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

119:57  Jehovah is my portion; I have said that I would observe 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 observe thy commandments.

119:61  The cords of the wicked have wrapped me around, but I have not forgotten thy law.

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

119:63  I am a companion of all those who fear thee, and of those who observe thy precepts.

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

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

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

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

119:68  Thou are good, and do good. Teach me thy statutes.

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

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

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

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

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

119:74  Those who fear thee shall see me and be glad, because I have hoped in thy word.

119:75  I know, O Jehovah, that thy judgments are righteous, and that in faithfulness thou have afflicted me.

119:76  Let, I pray thee, thy loving 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 put to shame, for they have overthrown me wrongfully. I will meditate on thy precepts.

119:79  Let those who fear thee turn to me, and they shall know thy testimonies.

119:80  Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes that I be not put to shame.

119:81  My soul faints for thy salvation. I hope in thy word.

119:82  My eyes fail for thy word, while I say, When will thou comfort me?

119:83  For I have become like a wine-skin in the smoke. Yet I do not forget thy statutes.

119:84  How many are the days of thy servant? When will thou execute judgment on those who persecute me?

119:85  The proud have dug pits for me, who 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 did not forsake thy precepts.

119:88  Revive me according to thy loving kindness, so I shall observe the testimony of thy mouth.

119:89  Forever, O Jehovah, thy word is settled in heaven.

119:90  Thy faithfulness is to all generations. Thou have established the earth, and it abides.

119:91  They abide this day according to thine ordinances, for all things are thy servants.

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

119:93  I will never forget thy precepts, for with them thou have enlivened 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. I will consider thy testimonies.

119:96  I have seen an end of all perfection. Thy commandment is exceedingly broad.

119:97  O how I love thy law! It is my meditation all the day.

119:98  Thy commandments make 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 aged because I have kept thy precepts.

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

119:102  I have not turned aside from thine ordinances, for thou have taught me.

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

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

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

119:106  I have sworn, and have confirmed it, that I will observe thy righteous ordinances.

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

119:108  Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Jehovah, and teach me thine ordinances.

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 have not gone astray from thy precepts.

119:111  I have taken thy testimonies as a heritage forever, for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

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

119:113  I hate those who are of a double mind, but I love thy law.

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

119:115  Depart from me, ye evildoers, that I may 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  Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe, and shall have respect for thy statutes continually.

119:118  Thou have set at nothing all those who err from thy statutes, for their deceit is falsehood.

119:119  Thou put away all the wicked of the earth like dross. Therefore I love thy testimonies.

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

119:121  I have done justice and righteousness. 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 thy righteous word.

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 esteem all precepts concerning all things to be right. I hate every false way.

119:129  Thy testimonies are wonderful, therefore my soul keeps them.

119:130  The opening of thy words gives light. It gives understanding to the simple.

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

119:132  Turn thee to me, and have mercy upon me, as thou used to do to those who love thy name.

119:133  Establish my footsteps in thy word, and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

119:134  Redeem me from the oppression of man, so I will observe thy precepts.

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

119:136  Streams of water run down my eyes, because they do not observe thy law.

119:137  Thou are righteous, O Jehovah, and upright are thy judgments.

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

119:139  My zeal has consumed me, because my adversaries have forgotten thy words.

119:140  Thy word is very pure, therefore thy servant loves it.

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

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

119:143  Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me. Thy commandments are my delight.

119:144  Thy testimonies are righteous forever. Give me understanding, and I shall live.

119:145  I have called with my whole heart. Answer me, O Jehovah. I will keep thy statutes.

119:146  I have called to thee. Save me, and I shall observe thy testimonies.

119:147  I anticipated the dawning of the morning, and cried. I hoped in thy words.

119:148  My eyes anticipated the night-watches that I might meditate on thy word.

119:149  Hear my voice according to thy loving kindness. Enliven me, O Jehovah, according to thine ordinances.

119:150  They draw near who follow after wickedness. They are far from thy law.

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

119:152  Of old I have known from thy testimonies that thou have founded them forever.

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

119:154  Plead thou my cause, and redeem me. Enliven 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 Jehovah. Enliven me according to thine ordinances.

119:157  Many are my persecutors and my adversaries. I have not swerved from thy testimonies.

119:158  I beheld the treacherous, and was grieved because they do not observe thy word.

119:159  Consider how I love thy precepts. Enliven me, O Jehovah, according to thy loving kindness.

119:160  The sum of thy word is truth, and every one of thy righteous ordinances is forever.

119:161  Rulers have persecuted me without a cause, but my heart stands in awe of thy words.

119:162  I rejoice at thy word, as he who finds great spoil.

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

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

119:165  Great peace have those who love thy law, and they have no occasion of stumbling.

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

119:167  My soul has observed thy testimonies, and I love them exceedingly.

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

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

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

119:171  Let my lips utter praise, for thou teach me thy statutes.

119:172  Let my tongue sing of thy word, for all thy commandments are righteousness.

119:173  Let thy hand be ready to help me, 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 thine ordinances help me.

119:176  I have gone astray like a lost sheep. Seek thy servant, for I do not forget thy commandments.
