Jubilee2000 - Psalms - 119

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

119:2  Blessed [are] those that keep his testimonies [and that] seek him with [their] whole heart.

119:3  For those who do no iniquity walk in his ways.

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

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

119:6  Then I shall not be ashamed, when I have insight unto 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 do not utterly forsake me.

119:9  BETH. With what shall a young man cleanse his way? when he shall keep thy word.

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

119:11  Thy [spoken] 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 I have declared all the judgments of thy mouth.

119:14  I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies as above all riches.

119:15  I will meditate in thy precepts and consider thy ways.

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

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

119:18  Open my eyes, and I shall behold the wonders of thy law.

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

119:20  My soul is broken from desiring thy judgments at all times.

119:21  Thou hast reprehended the proud; cursed are those who err from thy commandments.

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

119:23  Princes also sat [and] spoke against me as thy servant spoke according to thy statutes.

119:24  For thy testimonies are my delight and my counsellors.

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

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

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

119:28  My soul melts for heaviness; strengthen me according to thy word.

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

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

119:31  I have stuck unto 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 [unto] 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 unto thy testimonies and not to covetousness.

119:37  Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity, [and] cause me to live in thy way.

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

119:39  Turn away my reproach which I have feared, for thy judgments [are] good.

119:40  Behold, I have longed after thy precepts; cause me to live in thy righteousness.

119:41  VAU. Let thy mercy come unto me, O LORD, [even] thy salvation, according to thy [spoken] word.

119:42  And I shall answer him that reproaches me, [by saying] that I trust in thy word.

119:43  And take not at any time the word of truth out of my mouth; for I wait for thy judgment.

119:44  So shall I keep thy law continually from age to age.

119:45  And I will walk at liberty, for I sought thy commandments.

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  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 unto thy servant, in which thou hast caused me to wait.

119:50  This [is] my comfort in my affliction; for thy [spoken] word has caused me to live.

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

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

119:53  Horror has 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 My portion, O LORD, I have said, will be to keep thy words.

119:58  I intreated thy presence with [my] whole heart; be merciful unto me according to thy word.

119:59  I considered my ways and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.

119:60  I made haste and did not delay to keep thy commandments.

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

119:62  At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of the judgments of thy righteousness.

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

119:64  The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy [and] teaches me thy statutes.

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

119:66  [which] teaches me discernment and knowledge, for I have believed thy commandments.

119:67  Before I was humbled, I went into error, but now I keep thy [spoken] 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 became fat like grease, [but] I delight in thy law.

119:71  [It was] good for me that I have been humbled, 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  JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me; give me understanding, and I shall learn thy commandments.

119:74  Those that fear thee will be glad when they see me because I have waited on 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 mercy be for my comfort, according to thy [spoken] word unto thy servant.

119:77  Let thy mercy come unto 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 unto me and those that have known thy testimonies.

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

119:81  CAPH. My soul faints [with desire] for thy salvation as I await thy word.

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

119:83  For I am become like a wine skin in the smoke; [yet] I have not forgotten thy statutes.

119:84  How many [are] the days of thy servant? When wilt thou execute judgment on those that persecute me?

119:85  The proud have dug pits for me, but they do not [proceed] according to thy law.

119:86  All thy commandments [are of the same] truth; they persecute me wrongfully; help me.

119:87  They have almost consumed me upon earth, but I have not forsaken thy precepts.

119:88  Cause me to live according to thy mercy, so I shall keep the testimony of thy mouth.

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

119:90  Thy truth [is] from generation to generation; thou hast established the earth, and it perseveres.

119:91  They persevere unto this day by thy ordinance; for they [are] all thy servants.

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

119:93  I will never forget thy precepts; for with them thou hast caused me to live.

119:94  I [am] thine, keep 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 mine enemies, for they are eternal unto me.

119:99  I have more understanding than all my teachers, for thy testimonies [have been] my meditation.

119:100  I understand more than the elders 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 have been thy [spoken] words unto my taste! [yea], [sweeter] than honey to my mouth!

119:104  Through thy precepts I have obtained understanding; therefore I have hated every false way.

119:105  NUN. Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my way.

119:106  I have sworn, and I will perform [it], that I will keep the judgments of thy righteousness.

119:107  I am afflicted very much; cause me to live, O LORD, according to thy word.

119:108  Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill 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 did not I err from thy precepts.

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

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

119:113  SAMECH. I hate [vain] thoughts; but I live thy law.

119:114  Thou [art] my hiding place and my shield; I have waited for thy word.

119:115  Depart from me, ye evildoers; for I will keep the commandments of my God.

119:116  Uphold me according unto thy word, and I shall live; and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

119:117  Hold me up, and I shall be saved, and I shall delight in thy statutes continually.

119:118  Thou hast trodden down all those that err from thy statutes; for their deceit [is] falsehood.

119:119  Thou dost cause all the wicked of the earth to come undone [like] dross; therefore I have loved thy testimonies.

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

119:121  AIN. I have complied with judgment and righteousness; do not leave me to my oppressors.

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

119:123  Mine eyes fail for thy saving health and for the [spoken] 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], O LORD, to act; [for] they have dissipated thy law.

119:127  Therefore I have loved thy commandments above gold, [yea], above fine gold.

119:128  Therefore I have esteemed all [thy] precepts [concerning] all [things to be] right [and] I have hated every false way.

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

119:130  The exposition of thy words gives light; it gives understanding unto 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 unto me, as thou didst use to do unto those that love thy name.

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

119:134  Ransom me from the violence of men, and I will keep thy precepts.

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

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

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

119:138  Thou hast commanded righteousness, [which consists of] thy testimonies and thy truth.

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

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

119:141  I [am] small and despised; [yet] I have not forgotten thy precepts.

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

119:143  Trouble and anguish found me; [but] thy commandments [were] my delights.

119:144  Thy testimonies [are] eternal righteousness; give me understanding, and I shall live.

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

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

119:147  I arose before the dawning of the morning and cried: I waited in thy word.

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

119:149  Hear my voice according to thy mercy; O LORD, cause me to live according to thy judgment.

119:150  Those that persecute [me] draw near unto evil; they have strayed 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 have not forgotten thy law.

119:154  Plead my cause and redeem me; quicken me according to thy [spoken] word.

119:155  Saving health [is] far from the wicked, for they do not seek thy statutes.

119:156  Many [are] thy tender mercies, O LORD: cause me to live according to thy judgments.

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

119:158  I beheld the transgressors and was grieved because they did not keep thy words.

119:159  Consider, O LORD, that I love thy precepts; cause me to live according to thy mercy.

119:160  The beginning of thy word [is] truth, and every one of the judgments of thy righteousness is eternal.

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

119:162  I rejoice at thy [spoken] word, as one that finds great spoil.

119:163  I hate and abhor lying, [but] I love thy law.

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

119:165  Those who love thy law have great peace, and nothing shall cause them to stumble.

119:166  LORD, I have waited for thy saving health and done thy commandments.

119:167  My soul has kept thy testimonies, and I have loved 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, O LORD; give me understanding according to thy word.

119:170  Let my supplication come before thee; deliver me according to thy [spoken] word.

119:171  My lips shall overflow with praise when thou hast taught me thy statutes.

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

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

119:174  I have longed for thy saving health, O LORD, 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.:
