119:1
ALEPH. Blessed[H835] are the undefiled[H8549] in the way[H1870], who walk[H1980] in the law[H8451] of the LORD[H3068].
119:2
Blessed[H835] are they that keep[H5341] his testimonies[H5713], and that seek[H1875] him with the whole heart[H3820].
119:3
They also do[H6466] no iniquity[H5766]: they walk[H1980] in his ways[H1870].
119:4
Thou hast commanded[H6680] us to keep[H8104] thy precepts[H6490] diligently[H3966].
119:5
O that[H305] my ways[H1870] were directed[H3559] to keep[H8104] thy statutes[H2706]!
119:6
Then shall I not be ashamed[H954], when I have respect[H5027] unto all thy commandments[H4687].
119:7
I will praise[H3034] thee with uprightness[H3476] of heart[H3824], when I shall have learned[H3925] thy righteous[H6664] judgments[H4941].
119:8
I will keep[H8104] thy statutes[H2706]: O forsake[H5800] me not utterly[H3966].
119:9
BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man[H5288] cleanse[H2135] his way[H734]? by taking heed[H8104] thereto according to thy word[H1697].
119:10
With my whole heart[H3820] have I sought[H1875] thee: O let me not wander[H7686] from thy commandments[H4687].
119:11
Thy word[H565] have I hid[H6845] in mine heart[H3820], that I might not sin[H2398] against thee.
119:12
Blessed[H1288] art thou, O LORD[H3068]: teach[H3925] me thy statutes[H2706].
119:13
With my lips[H8193] have I declared[H5608] all the judgments[H4941] of thy mouth[H6310].
119:14
I have rejoiced[H7797] in[H5921] the way[H1870] of thy testimonies[H5715], as much as in all riches[H1952].
119:15
I will meditate[H7878] in thy precepts[H6490], and have respect[H5027] unto thy ways[H734].
119:16
I will delight[H8173] myself in thy statutes[H2708]: I will not forget[H7911] thy word[H1697].
119:17
GIMEL. Deal bountifully[H1580] with thy servant[H5650], that I may live[H2421], and keep[H8104] thy word[H1697].
119:18
Open[H1540] thou mine eyes[H5869], that I may behold[H5027] wondrous things[H6381] out of thy law[H8451].
119:19
I am a stranger[H1616] in the earth[H776]: hide[H5641] not thy commandments[H4687] from me.
119:20
My soul[H5315] breaketh[H1638] for the longing[H8375] that it hath unto thy judgments[H4941] at all times[H6256].
119:21
Thou hast rebuked[H1605] the proud[H2086] that are cursed[H779], which do err[H7686] from thy commandments[H4687].
119:22
Remove[H1556] from me reproach[H2781] and contempt[H937]; for I have kept[H5341] thy testimonies[H5713].
119:23
Princes[H8269] also did sit[H3427] and speak[H1696] against me: but thy servant[H5650] did meditate[H7878] in thy statutes[H2706].
119:24
Thy testimonies[H5713] also are my delight[H8191] and my counsellors[H582].
119:25
DALETH. My soul[H5315] cleaveth[H1692] unto the dust[H6083]: quicken[H2421] thou me according to thy word[H1697].
119:26
I have declared[H5608] my ways[H1870], and thou heardest[H6030] me: teach[H3925] me thy statutes[H2706].
119:27
Make me to understand[H995] the way[H1870] of thy precepts[H6490]: so shall I talk[H7878] of thy wondrous works[H6381].
119:28
My soul[H5315] melteth[H1811] for heaviness[H8424]: strengthen[H6965] thou me according unto thy word[H1697].
119:29
Remove[H5493] from me the way[H1870] of lying[H8267]: and grant me thy law[H8451] graciously[H2603].
119:30
I have chosen[H977] the way[H1870] of truth[H530]: thy judgments[H4941] have I laid[H7737] before me.
119:31
I have stuck[H1692] unto thy testimonies[H5715]: O LORD[H3068], put me not to shame[H954].
119:32
I will run[H7323] the way[H1870] of thy commandments[H4687], when thou shalt enlarge[H7337] my heart[H3820].
119:33
HE. Teach[H3384] me, O LORD[H3068], the way[H1870] of thy statutes[H2706]; and I shall keep[H5341] it unto the end[H6118].
119:34
Give me understanding[H995], and I shall keep[H5341] thy law[H8451]; yea, I shall observe[H8104] it with my whole heart[H3820].
119:35
Make me to go[H1869] in the path[H5410] of thy commandments[H4687]; for therein do I delight[H2654].
119:36
Incline[H5186] my heart[H3820] unto thy testimonies[H5715], and not to covetousness[H1215].
119:37
Turn away[H5674] mine eyes[H5869] from beholding[H7200] vanity[H7723]; and quicken[H2421] thou me in thy way[H1870].
119:38
Stablish[H6965] thy word[H565] unto thy servant[H5650], who is devoted to thy fear[H3374].
119:39
Turn away[H5674] my reproach[H2781] which I fear[H3025]: for thy judgments[H4941] are good[H2896].
119:40
Behold, I have longed[H8373] after thy precepts[H6490]: quicken[H2421] me in thy righteousness[H6666].
119:41
VAU. Let thy mercies[H2617] come[H935] also unto me, O LORD[H3068], even thy salvation[H8668], according to thy word[H565].
119:42
So shall I have wherewith[H1697] to answer[H6030] him that reproacheth[H2778] me: for I trust[H982] in thy word[H1697].
119:43
And take[H5337] not the word[H1697] of truth[H571] utterly[H3966] out of my mouth[H6310]; for I have hoped[H3176] in thy judgments[H4941].
119:44
So shall I keep[H8104] thy law[H8451] continually[H8548] for ever[H5769] and ever[H5703].
119:45
And I will walk[H1980] at liberty[H7342]: for I seek[H1875] thy precepts[H6490].
119:46
I will speak[H1696] of thy testimonies[H5713] also before kings[H4428], and will not be ashamed[H954].
119:47
And I will delight[H8173] myself in thy commandments[H4687], which I have loved[H157].
119:48
My hands[H3709] also will I lift up[H5375] unto thy commandments[H4687], which I have loved[H157]; and I will meditate[H7878] in thy statutes[H2706].
119:49
ZAIN. Remember[H2142] the word[H1697] unto thy servant[H5650], upon which thou hast caused me to hope[H3176].
119:50
This is my comfort[H5165] in my affliction[H6040]: for thy word[H565] hath quickened[H2421] me.
119:51
The proud[H2086] have had me greatly[H3966] in derision[H3887]: yet have I not declined[H5186] from thy law[H8451].
119:52
I remembered[H2142] thy judgments[H4941] of old[H5769], O LORD[H3068]; and have comforted[H5162] myself.
119:53
Horror[H2152] hath taken hold[H270] upon me because of the wicked[H7563] that forsake[H5800] thy law[H8451].
119:54
Thy statutes[H2706] have been my songs[H2158] in the house[H1004] of my pilgrimage[H4033].
119:55
I have remembered[H2142] thy name[H8034], O LORD[H3068], in the night[H3915], and have kept[H8104] thy law[H8451].
119:56
This I had, because I kept[H5341] thy precepts[H6490].
119:57
CHETH. Thou art my portion[H2506], O LORD[H3068]: I have said[H559] that I would keep[H8104] thy words[H1697].
119:58
I intreated[H2470] thy favour[H6440] with my whole heart[H3820]: be merciful[H2603] unto me according to thy word[H565].
119:59
I thought[H2803] on my ways[H1870], and turned[H7725] my feet[H7272] unto thy testimonies[H5713].
119:60
I made haste[H2363], and delayed[H4102] not to keep[H8104] thy commandments[H4687].
119:61
The bands[H2256] of the wicked[H7563] have robbed[H5749] me: but I have not forgotten[H7911] thy law[H8451].
119:62
At midnight[H2676] I will rise[H6965] to give thanks[H3034] unto thee because of thy righteous[H6664] judgments[H4941].
119:63
I am a companion[H2270] of all them that fear[H3372] thee, and of them that keep[H8104] thy precepts[H6490].
119:64
The earth[H776], O LORD[H3068], is full[H4390] of thy mercy[H2617]: teach[H3925] me thy statutes[H2706].
119:65
TETH. Thou hast dealt[H6213] well[H2896] with thy servant[H5650], O LORD[H3068], according unto thy word[H1697].
119:66
Teach[H3925] me good[H2898] judgment[H2940] and knowledge[H1847]: for I have believed[H539] thy commandments[H4687].
119:67
Before I was afflicted[H6031] I went astray[H7683]: but now have I kept[H8104] thy word[H565].
119:68
Thou art good[H2896], and doest good[H2895]; teach[H3925] me thy statutes[H2706].
119:69
The proud[H2086] have forged[H2950] a lie[H8267] against me: but I will keep[H5341] thy precepts[H6490] with my whole heart[H3820].
119:70
Their heart[H3820] is as fat[H2954] as grease[H2459]; but I delight[H8173] in thy law[H8451].
119:71
It is good[H2896] for me that I have been afflicted[H6031]; that I might learn[H3925] thy statutes[H2706].
119:72
The law[H8451] of thy mouth[H6310] is better[H2896] unto me than thousands[H505] of gold[H2091] and silver[H3701].
119:73
JOD. Thy hands[H3027] have made[H6213] me and fashioned[H3559] me: give me understanding[H995], that I may learn[H3925] thy commandments[H4687].
119:74
They that fear[H3373] thee will be glad[H8055] when they see[H7200] me; because I have hoped[H3176] in thy word[H1697].
119:75
I know[H3045], O LORD[H3068], that thy judgments[H4941] are right[H6664], and that thou in faithfulness[H530] hast afflicted[H6031] me.
119:76
Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness[H2617] be for my comfort[H5162], according to thy word[H565] unto thy servant[H5650].
119:77
Let thy tender mercies[H7356] come[H935] unto me, that I may live[H2421]: for thy law[H8451] is my delight[H8191].
119:78
Let the proud[H2086] be ashamed[H954]; for they dealt perversely[H5791] with me without a cause[H8267]: but I will meditate[H7878] in thy precepts[H6490].
119:79
Let those that fear[H3373] thee turn[H7725] unto me, and those that have known[H3045] thy testimonies[H5713].
119:80
Let my heart[H3820] be sound[H8549] in thy statutes[H2706]; that I be not ashamed[H954].
119:81
CAPH. My soul[H5315] fainteth[H3615] for thy salvation[H8668]: but I hope[H3176] in thy word[H1697].
119:82
Mine eyes[H5869] fail[H3615] for thy word[H565], saying[H559], When wilt thou comfort[H5162] me?
119:83
For[H7911] I am become like a bottle[H4997] in the smoke[H7008]; yet do I not forget thy statutes[H2706].
119:84
How many are the days[H3117] of thy servant[H5650]? when wilt thou execute[H6213] judgment[H4941] on them that persecute[H7291] me?
119:85
The proud[H2086] have digged[H3738] pits[H7882] for me, which are not after thy law[H8451].
119:86
All thy commandments[H4687] are faithful[H530]: they persecute[H7291] me wrongfully[H8267]; help[H5826] thou me.
119:87
They had almost[H4592] consumed[H3615] me upon earth[H776]; but I forsook[H5800] not thy precepts[H6490].
119:88
Quicken[H2421] me after thy lovingkindness[H2617]; so shall I keep[H8104] the testimony[H5715] of thy mouth[H6310].
119:89
LAMED. For ever[H5769], O LORD[H3068], thy word[H1697] is settled[H5324] in heaven[H8064].
119:90
Thy faithfulness[H530] is unto all[H1755] generations[H1755]: thou hast established[H3559] the earth[H776], and it abideth[H5975].
119:91
They continue[H5975] this day[H3117] according to thine ordinances[H4941]: for all are thy servants[H5650].
119:92
Unless[H3884] thy law[H8451] had been my delights[H8191], I should then have perished[H6] in mine affliction[H6040].
119:93
I will never[H5769] forget[H7911] thy precepts[H6490]: for with them thou hast quickened[H2421] me.
119:94
I am thine, save[H3467] me; for I have sought[H1875] thy precepts[H6490].
119:95
The wicked[H7563] have waited[H6960] for me to destroy[H6] me: but I will consider[H995] thy testimonies[H5713].
119:96
I have seen[H7200] an end[H7093] of all perfection[H8502]: but thy commandment[H4687] is exceeding[H3966] broad[H7342].
119:97
MEM. O how love I[H157] thy law[H8451]! it is my meditation[H7881] all the day[H3117].
119:98
Thou through thy commandments[H4687] hast made me wiser[H2449] than mine enemies[H341]: for they are ever[H5769] with me.
119:99
I have more understanding[H7919] than all my teachers[H3925]: for thy testimonies[H5715] are my meditation[H7881].
119:100
I understand[H995] more than the ancients[H2205], because I keep[H5341] thy precepts[H6490].
119:101
I have refrained[H3607] my feet[H7272] from every evil[H7451] way[H734], that I might keep[H8104] thy word[H1697].
119:102
I have not departed[H5493] from thy judgments[H4941]: for thou hast taught[H3384] me.
119:103
How sweet[H4452] are thy words[H565] unto my taste[H2441]! yea, sweeter than honey[H1706] to my mouth[H6310]!
119:104
Through thy precepts[H6490] I get understanding[H995]: therefore I hate[H8130] every false[H8267] way[H734].
119:105
NUN. Thy word[H1697] is a lamp[H5216] unto my feet[H7272], and a light[H216] unto my path[H5410].
119:106
I have sworn[H7650], and I will perform[H6965] it, that I will keep[H8104] thy righteous[H6664] judgments[H4941].
119:107
I am afflicted[H6031] very much[H3966]: quicken[H2421] me, O LORD[H3068], according unto thy word[H1697].
119:108
Accept[H7521], I beseech thee, the freewill offerings[H5071] of my mouth[H6310], O LORD[H3068], and teach[H3925] me thy judgments[H4941].
119:109
My soul[H5315] is continually[H8548] in my hand[H3709]: yet do I not forget[H7911] thy law[H8451].
119:110
The wicked[H7563] have laid[H5414] a snare[H6341] for me: yet I erred[H8582] not from thy precepts[H6490].
119:111
Thy testimonies[H5715] have I taken as an heritage[H5157] for ever[H5769]: for they are the rejoicing[H8342] of my heart[H3820].
119:112
I have inclined[H5186] mine heart[H3820] to perform[H6213] thy statutes[H2706] alway[H5769], even unto the end[H6118].
119:113
SAMECH. I hate[H8130] vain thoughts[H5588]: but thy law[H8451] do I love[H157].
119:114
Thou art my hiding place[H5643] and my shield[H4043]: I hope[H3176] in thy word[H1697].
119:115
Depart[H5493] from me, ye evildoers[H7489]: for I will keep[H5341] the commandments[H4687] of my God[H430].
119:116
Uphold[H5564] me according unto thy word[H565], that I may live[H2421]: and let me not be ashamed[H954] of my hope[H7664].
119:117
Hold thou me up[H5582], and I shall be safe[H3467]: and I will have respect[H8159] unto thy statutes[H2706] continually[H8548].
119:118
Thou hast trodden down[H5541] all them that err[H7686] from thy statutes[H2706]: for their deceit[H8649] is falsehood[H8267].
119:119
Thou puttest away[H7673] all the wicked[H7563] of the earth[H776] like dross[H5509]: therefore I love[H157] thy testimonies[H5713].
119:120
My flesh[H1320] trembleth[H5568] for fear[H6343] of thee; and I am afraid[H3372] of thy judgments[H4941].
119:121
AIN. I have done[H6213] judgment[H4941] and justice[H6664]: leave[H3240] me not to mine oppressors[H6231].
119:122
Be surety[H6148] for thy servant[H5650] for good[H2896]: let not the proud[H2086] oppress[H6231] me.
119:123
Mine eyes[H5869] fail[H3615] for thy salvation[H3444], and for the word[H565] of thy righteousness[H6664].
119:124
Deal[H6213] with thy servant[H5650] according unto thy mercy[H2617], and teach[H3925] me thy statutes[H2706].
119:125
I am thy servant[H5650]; give me understanding[H995], that I may know[H3045] thy testimonies[H5713].
119:126
It is time[H6256] for thee, LORD[H3068], to work[H6213]: for they have made void[H6565] thy law[H8451].
119:127
Therefore I love[H157] thy commandments[H4687] above gold[H2091]; yea, above fine gold[H6337].
119:128
Therefore I esteem all thy precepts[H6490] concerning all things to be right[H3474]; and I hate[H8130] every false[H8267] way[H734].
119:129
PE. Thy testimonies[H5715] are wonderful[H6382]: therefore doth my soul[H5315] keep[H5341] them.
119:130
The entrance[H6608] of thy words[H1697] giveth light[H215]; it giveth understanding[H995] unto the simple[H6612].
119:131
I opened[H6473] my mouth[H6310], and panted[H7602]: for I longed[H2968] for thy commandments[H4687].
119:132
Look[H6437] thou upon me, and be merciful[H2603] unto me, as thou usest[H4941] to do unto those that love[H157] thy name[H8034].
119:133
Order[H3559] my steps[H6471] in thy word[H565]: and let not any iniquity[H205] have dominion[H7980] over me.
119:134
Deliver[H6299] me from the oppression[H6233] of man[H120]: so will I keep[H8104] thy precepts[H6490].
119:135
Make thy face[H6440] to shine[H215] upon thy servant[H5650]; and teach[H3925] me thy statutes[H2706].
119:136
Rivers[H6388] of waters[H4325] run down[H3381] mine eyes[H5869], because they keep[H8104] not thy law[H8451].
119:137
TZADDI. Righteous[H6662] art thou, O LORD[H3068], and upright[H3477] are thy judgments[H4941].
119:138
Thy testimonies[H5713] that thou hast commanded[H6680] are righteous[H6664] and very[H3966] faithful[H530].
119:139
My zeal[H7068] hath consumed[H6789] me, because mine enemies[H6862] have forgotten[H7911] thy words[H1697].
119:140
Thy word[H565] is very[H3966] pure[H6884]: therefore thy servant[H5650] loveth[H157] it.
119:141
I am small[H6810] and despised[H959]: yet do not I forget[H7911] thy precepts[H6490].
119:142
Thy righteousness[H6666] is an everlasting[H5769] righteousness[H6664], and thy law[H8451] is the truth[H571].
119:143
Trouble[H6862] and anguish[H4689] have taken hold[H4672] on me: yet thy commandments[H4687] are my delights[H8191].
119:144
The righteousness[H6664] of thy testimonies[H5715] is everlasting[H5769]: give me understanding[H995], and I shall live[H2421].
119:145
KOPH. I cried[H7121] with my whole heart[H3820]; hear[H6030] me, O LORD[H3068]: I will keep[H5341] thy statutes[H2706].
119:146
I cried[H7121] unto thee; save[H3467] me, and I shall keep[H8104] thy testimonies[H5713].
119:147
I prevented[H6923] the dawning of the morning[H5399], and cried[H7768]: I hoped[H3176] in thy word[H1697].
119:148
Mine eyes[H5869] prevent[H6923] the night watches[H821], that I might meditate[H7878] in thy word[H565].
119:149
Hear[H8085] my voice[H6963] according unto thy lovingkindness[H2617]: O LORD[H3068], quicken[H2421] me according to thy judgment[H4941].
119:150
They draw nigh[H7126] that follow[H7291] after mischief[H2154]: they are far[H7368] from thy law[H8451].
119:151
Thou art near[H7138], O LORD[H3068]; and all thy commandments[H4687] are truth[H571].
119:152
Concerning thy testimonies[H5713], I have known[H3045] of old[H6924] that thou hast founded[H3245] them for ever[H5769].
119:153
RESH. Consider[H7200] mine affliction[H6040], and deliver[H2502] me: for[H7911] I do not forget thy law[H8451].
119:154
Plead[H7378] my cause[H7379], and deliver[H1350] me: quicken[H2421] me according to thy word[H565].
119:155
Salvation[H3444] is far[H7350] from the wicked[H7563]: for they seek[H1875] not thy statutes[H2706].
119:156
Great[H7227] are thy tender mercies[H7356], O LORD[H3068]: quicken[H2421] me according to thy judgments[H4941].
119:157
Many[H7227] are my persecutors[H7291] and mine enemies[H6862]; yet do I not decline[H5186] from thy testimonies[H5715].
119:158
I beheld[H7200] the transgressors[H898], and was grieved[H6962]; because they kept[H8104] not thy word[H565].
119:159
Consider[H7200] how I love[H157] thy precepts[H6490]: quicken[H2421] me, O LORD[H3068], according to thy lovingkindness[H2617].
119:160
Thy word[H1697] is true[H571] from the beginning[H7218]: and every[H5769] one of thy righteous[H6664] judgments[H4941] endureth for ever.
119:161
SCHIN. Princes[H8269] have persecuted[H7291] me without a cause[H2600]: but my heart[H3820] standeth in awe[H6342] of thy word[H1697].
119:162
I rejoice[H7797] at thy word[H565], as one that findeth[H4672] great[H7227] spoil[H7998].
119:163
I hate[H8130] and abhor[H8581] lying[H8267]: but thy law[H8451] do I love[H157].
119:164
Seven times[H7651] a day[H3117] do I praise[H1984] thee because of thy righteous[H6664] judgments[H4941].
119:165
Great[H7227] peace[H7965] have they which love[H157] thy law[H8451]: and nothing shall offend[H4383] them.
119:166
LORD[H3068], I have hoped[H7663] for thy salvation[H3444], and done[H6213] thy commandments[H4687].
119:167
My soul[H5315] hath kept[H8104] thy testimonies[H5713]; and I love[H157] them exceedingly[H3966].
119:168
I have kept[H8104] thy precepts[H6490] and thy testimonies[H5713]: for all my ways[H1870] are before thee.
119:169
TAU. Let my cry[H7440] come near[H7126] before[H6440] thee, O LORD[H3068]: give me understanding[H995] according to thy word[H1697].
119:170
Let my supplication[H8467] come[H935] before[H6440] thee: deliver[H5337] me according to thy word[H565].
119:171
My lips[H8193] shall utter[H5042] praise[H8416], when thou hast taught[H3925] me thy statutes[H2706].
119:172
My tongue[H3956] shall speak[H6030] of thy word[H565]: for all thy commandments[H4687] are righteousness[H6664].
119:173
Let thine hand[H3027] help[H5826] me; for I have chosen[H977] thy precepts[H6490].
119:174
I have longed[H8373] for thy salvation[H3444], O LORD[H3068]; and thy law[H8451] is my delight[H8191].
119:175
Let my soul[H5315] live[H2421], and it shall praise[H1984] thee; and let thy judgments[H4941] help[H5826] me.
119:176
I have gone astray[H8582] like a lost[H6] sheep[H7716]; seek[H1245] thy servant[H5650]; for[H7911] I do not forget thy commandments[H4687].
