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 ùword 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 ùword 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 ùword.

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 ùword 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 ùword.

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 ùword.

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 ùword 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 ùword, 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 ùwords 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 my God.

119:116 Uphold me according to thy ùword, 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 ùword 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 ùword; 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 ùword 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 ùword.

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 ùword.

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 ùword.

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 ùword, 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 ùword.

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

119:172 My tongue shall speak aloud of thy ùword; 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
