119:30  I have chosen the way of faithfulness, I set thy ordinances before me.

119:31  I cleave to thy testimonies, O LORD; let me not be put to shame!

119:32  I will run in the way of thy commandments when thou enlargest my understanding!

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

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

119:35  Lead me in the path of thy commandments, for I delight in it.

119:41  Let thy steadfast love come to me, O LORD, thy salvation according to thy promise;

119:42  then shall I have an answer for those who taunt me, for I trust in thy word.

119:43  And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for my hope is in thy ordinances.

119:44  I will keep thy law continually, for ever and ever;

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

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

119:47  for I find my delight in thy commandments, which I love.

119:48  I revere thy commandments, which I love, and I will meditate on thy statutes.

119:49  Remember thy word to thy servant, in which thou hast made me hope.

119:50  This is my comfort in my affliction that thy promise gives me life.

119:51  Godless men utterly deride me, but I do not turn away from thy law.

119:52  When I think of thy ordinances from of old, I take comfort, O LORD.

119:53  Hot indignation seizes 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 remember thy name in the night, O LORD, and keep thy law.

119:56  This blessing has fallen to me, that I have kept thy precepts.

119:57  The LORD is my portion; I promise to keep thy words.

119:58  I entreat thy favor with all my heart; be gracious to me according to thy promise.

119:59  When I think of thy ways, I turn my feet to thy testimonies;

119:60  I hasten and do not delay to keep thy commandments.

119:61  Though the cords of the wicked ensnare me, I do not forget thy law.

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

119:64  The earth, O LORD, is full of thy steadfast love; teach me thy statutes!

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

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

119:67  Before I was afflicted I went astray; but now I keep thy word.

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

119:69  The godless besmear me with lies, but with my whole heart I keep thy precepts;

119:70  their heart is gross like fat, but I delight in thy law.

119:71  It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes.

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

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

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

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

119:76  Let thy steadfast love be ready to comfort me according to thy promise to thy servant.

119:77  Let thy mercy come to me, that I may live; for thy law is my delight.

119:78  Let the godless be put to shame, because they have subverted me with guile; as for me, I will meditate on thy precepts.

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

119:80  May my heart be blameless in thy statutes, that I may not be put to shame!

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

119:82  My eyes fail with watching for thy promise; I ask, "When wilt thou comfort me?"

119:83  For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke, yet I have not forgotten thy statutes.

119:84  How long must thy servant endure? When wilt thou judge those who persecute me?

119:85  Godless men have dug pitfalls for me, men who do not conform to thy law.

119:86  All thy commandments are sure; they persecute me with falsehood; help me!

119:87  They have almost made an end of me on earth; but I have not forsaken thy precepts.

119:88  In thy steadfast love spare my life, that I may keep the testimonies of thy mouth.

119:89  For ever, O LORD, thy word is firmly fixed in the heavens.

119:90  Thy faithfulness endures to all generations; thou hast established the earth, and it stands fast.

119:91  By thy appointment they stand this day; for all things are thy servants.

119:92  If thy law had not been my delight, I should have perished in my affliction.

119:93  I will never forget thy precepts; for by them thou hast given me life.

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

119:95  The wicked lie in wait to destroy me; but I consider thy testimonies.

119:96  I have seen a limit to all perfection, but thy commandment is exceedingly broad.

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

119:98  Thy commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is 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, for I keep thy precepts.

119:101  I hold back my feet from every evil way, in order to keep thy word.

119:102  I do not turn aside from thy ordinances, for thou hast taught me.

119:103  How sweet are thy words to my taste, sweeter 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 a light to my path.

119:106  I have sworn an oath and confirmed it, to observe thy righteous ordinances.

119:107  I am sorely afflicted; give me life, O LORD, according to thy word!

119:108  Accept my offerings of praise, O LORD, and teach me thy ordinances.

119:109  I hold my life in my hand continually, but I do not forget thy law.

119:110  The wicked have laid a snare for me, but I do not stray from thy precepts.

119:112  I incline my heart to perform thy statutes for ever, to the end.

119:113  I hate double-minded men, but I love thy law.

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

119:115  Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God.

119:116  Uphold me according to thy promise, that I may live, and let me not be put to shame in my hope!

119:117  Hold me up, that I may be safe and have regard for thy statutes continually!

119:118  Thou dost spurn all who go astray from thy statutes; yea, their cunning is in vain.

119:119  All the wicked of the earth thou dost count as 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 what is just and right; do not leave me to my oppressors.

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

119:123  My eyes fail with watching for thy salvation, and for the fulfilment of thy righteous promise.

119:124  Deal with thy servant according to thy steadfast love, 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 the LORD to act, for thy law has been broken.

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

119:128  Therefore I direct my steps by all thy precepts; I hate every false way.

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

119:130  The unfolding of thy words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.

119:131  With open mouth I pant, because I long for thy commandments.

119:132  Turn to me and be gracious to me, as is thy wont toward those who love thy name.

119:133  Keep steady my steps according to thy promise, and let no iniquity get dominion over me.

119:134  Redeem me from man's oppression, that I may keep thy precepts.

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

119:136  My eyes shed streams of tears, because men do not keep thy law.

119:137  Righteous art thou, O LORD, and right are thy judgments.

119:138  Thou hast appointed thy testimonies in righteousness and in all faithfulness.

119:139  My zeal consumes me, because my foes forget thy words.

119:140  Thy promise is well tried, and thy servant loves it.

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

119:142  Thy righteousness is righteous for ever, and thy law is true.

119:143  Trouble and anguish have come upon me, but thy commandments are my delight.

119:144  Thy testimonies are righteous for ever; give me understanding that I may live.

119:145  With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O LORD! I will keep thy statutes.

119:146  I cry to thee; save me, that I may observe thy testimonies.

119:147  I rise before dawn and cry for help; I hope in thy words.

119:148  My eyes are awake before the watches of the night, that I may meditate upon thy promise.

119:149  Hear my voice in thy steadfast love; O LORD, in thy justice preserve my life.

119:150  They draw near who persecute me with evil purpose; they are far from thy law.

119:151  But thou art near, O LORD, and all thy commandments are true.

119:152  Long have I known from thy testimonies that thou hast founded them for ever.

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

119:154  Plead my cause and redeem me; give me life according to thy promise!

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

119:156  Great is thy mercy, O LORD; give me life according to thy justice.

119:157  Many are my persecutors and my adversaries, but I do not swerve from thy testimonies.

119:158  I look at the faithless with disgust, because they do not keep thy commands.

119:159  Consider how I love thy precepts! Preserve my life according to thy steadfast love.

119:160  The sum of thy word is truth; and every one of thy righteous ordinances endures for ever.

119:161  Princes persecute me without cause, but my heart stands in awe of thy words.

119:162  I rejoice at thy word like one who finds great spoil.

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