119:1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, |
119:2 Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, |
119:3 They also do no iniquity; |
119:4 You have commanded us |
119:5 Oh, that my ways were directed |
119:6 Then I would not be ashamed, |
119:7 I will praise You with uprightness of heart, |
119:8 I will keep Your statutes; |
119:9 How can a young man cleanse his way? |
119:10 With my whole heart I have sought You; |
119:11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, |
119:12 Blessed are You, O LORD! |
119:13 With my lips I have declared |
119:14 I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, |
119:15 I will meditate on Your precepts, |
119:16 I will delight myself in Your statutes; |
119:17 Deal bountifully with Your servant, |
119:18 Open my eyes, that I may see |
119:19 I am a stranger in the earth; |
119:20 My soul breaks with longing |
119:21 You rebuke the proud—the cursed, |
119:22 Remove from me reproach and contempt, |
119:23 Princes also sit and speak against me, |
119:24 Your testimonies also are my delight |
119:25 My soul clings to the dust; |
119:26 I have declared my ways, and You answered me; |
119:27 Make me understand the way of Your precepts; |
119:28 My soul melts from heaviness; |
119:29 Remove from me the way of lying, |
119:30 I have chosen the way of truth; |
119:31 I cling to Your testimonies; |
119:32 I will run the course of Your commandments, |
119:33 Teach me, O LORD, the way of Your statutes, |
119:34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law; |
119:35 Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, |
119:36 Incline my heart to Your testimonies, |
119:37 Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, |
119:38 Establish Your word to Your servant, |
119:39 Turn away my reproach which I dread, |
119:40 Behold, I long for Your precepts; |
119:41 Let Your mercies come also to me, O LORD— |
119:42 So shall I have an answer for him who reproaches me, |
119:43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, |
119:44 So shall I keep Your law continually, |
119:45 And I will walk at liberty, |
119:46 I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, |
119:47 And I will delight myself in Your commandments, |
119:48 My hands also I will lift up to Your commandments, |
119:49 Remember the word to Your servant, |
119:50 This is my comfort in my affliction, |
119:51 The proud have me in great derision, |
119:52 I remembered Your judgments of old, O LORD, |
119:53 Indignation has taken hold of me |
119:54 Your statutes have been my songs |
119:55 I remember Your name in the night, O LORD, |
119:56 This has become mine, |
119:57 You are my portion, O LORD; |
119:58 I entreated Your favor with my whole heart; |
119:59 I thought about my ways, |
119:60 I made haste, and did not delay |
119:61 The cords of the wicked have bound me, |
119:62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You, |
119:63 I am a companion of all who fear You, |
119:64 The earth, O LORD, is full of Your mercy; |
119:65 You have dealt well with Your servant, |
119:66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge, |
119:67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, |
119:68 You are good, and do good; |
119:69 The proud have forged a lie against me, |
119:70 Their heart is as fat as grease, |
119:71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted, |
119:72 The law of Your mouth is better to me |
119:73 Your hands have made me and fashioned me; |
119:74 Those who fear You will be glad when they see me, |
119:75 I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are right, |
119:76 Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort, |
119:77 Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live; |
119:78 Let the proud be ashamed, |
119:79 Let those who fear You turn to me, |
119:80 Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes, |
119:81 My soul faints for Your salvation, |
119:82 My eyes fail from searching Your word, |
119:83 For I have become like a wineskin in smoke, |
119:84 How many are the days of Your servant? |
119:85 The proud have dug pits for me, |
119:86 All Your commandments are faithful; |
119:87 They almost made an end of me on earth, |
119:88 Revive me according to Your lovingkindness, |
119:89 Forever, O LORD, |
119:90 Your faithfulness endures to all generations; |
119:91 They continue this day according to Your ordinances, |
119:92 Unless Your law had been my delight, |
119:93 I will never forget Your precepts, |
119:94 I am Yours, save me; |
119:95 The wicked wait for me to destroy me, |
119:96 I have seen the consummation of all perfection, |
119:97 Oh, how I love Your law! |
119:98 You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies; |
119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers, |
119:100 I understand more than the ancients, |
119:101 I have restrained my feet from every evil way, |
119:102 I have not departed from Your judgments, |
119:103 How sweet are Your words to my taste, |
119:104 Through Your precepts I get understanding; |
119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet |
119:106 I have sworn and confirmed |
119:107 I am afflicted very much; |
119:108 Accept, I pray, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, |
119:109 My life is continually in my hand, |
119:110 The wicked have laid a snare for me, |
119:111 Your testimonies I have taken as a heritage forever, |
119:112 I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes |
119:113 I hate the double-minded, |
119:114 You are my hiding place and my shield; |
119:115 Depart from me, you evildoers, |
119:116 Uphold me according to Your word, that I may live; |
119:117 Hold me up, and I shall be safe, |
119:118 You reject all those who stray from Your statutes, |
119:119 You put away all the wicked of the earth like dross; |
119:120 My flesh trembles for fear of You, |
119:121 I have done justice and righteousness; |
119:122 Be surety for Your servant for good; |
119:123 My eyes fail from seeking Your salvation |
119:124 Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy, |
119:125 I am Your servant; |
119:126 It is time for You to act, O LORD, |
119:127 Therefore I love Your commandments |
119:128 Therefore all Your precepts concerning all things |
119:129 Your testimonies are wonderful; |
119:130 The entrance of Your words gives light; |
119:131 I opened my mouth and panted, |
119:132 Look upon me and be merciful to me, |
119:133 Direct my steps by Your word, |
119:134 Redeem me from the oppression of man, |
119:135 Make Your face shine upon Your servant, |
119:136 Rivers of water run down from my eyes, |
119:137 Righteous are You, O LORD, |
119:138 Your testimonies, which You have commanded, |
119:139 My zeal has consumed me, |
119:140 Your word is very pure; |
119:141 I am small and despised, |
119:142 Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, |
119:143 Trouble and anguish have overtaken me, |
119:144 The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting; |
119:145 I cry out with my whole heart; |
119:146 I cry out to You; |
119:147 I rise before the dawning of the morning, |
119:148 My eyes are awake through the night watches, |
119:149 Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness; |
119:150 They draw near who follow after wickedness; |
119:151 You are near, O LORD, |
119:152 Concerning Your testimonies, |
119:153 Consider my affliction and deliver me, |
119:154 Plead my cause and redeem me; |
119:155 Salvation is far from the wicked, |
119:156 Great are Your tender mercies, O LORD; |
119:157 Many are my persecutors and my enemies, |
119:158 I see the treacherous, and am disgusted, |
119:159 Consider how I love Your precepts; |
119:160 The entirety of Your word is truth, |
119:161 Princes persecute me without a cause, |
119:162 I rejoice at Your word |
119:163 I hate and abhor lying, |
119:164 Seven times a day I praise You, |
119:165 Great peace have those who love Your law, |
119:166 LORD, I hope for Your salvation, |
119:167 My soul keeps Your testimonies, |
119:168 I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies, |
119:169 Let my cry come before You, O LORD; |
119:170 Let my supplication come before You; |
119:171 My lips shall utter praise, |
119:172 My tongue shall speak of Your word, |
119:173 Let Your hand become my help, |
119:174 I long for Your salvation, O LORD, |
119:175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise You; |
119:176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; |
