119:1  Blessed are the undefiled in the way,
Who walk in the law of the LORD!

119:2  Blessed are those who keep His testimonies,
Who seek Him with the whole heart!

119:3  They also do no iniquity;
They walk in His ways.

119:4  You have commanded us
To keep Your precepts diligently.

119:5  Oh, that my ways were directed
To keep Your statutes!

119:6  Then I would not be ashamed,
When I look into all Your commandments.

119:7  I will praise You with uprightness of heart,
When I learn Your righteous judgments.

119:8  I will keep Your statutes;
Oh, do not forsake me utterly!

119:9  How can a young man cleanse his way?
By taking heed according to Your word.

119:10  With my whole heart I have sought You;
Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!

119:11  Your word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You.

119:12  Blessed are You, O LORD!
Teach me Your statutes.

119:13  With my lips I have declared
All the judgments of Your mouth.

119:14  I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies,
As much as in all riches.

119:15  I will meditate on Your precepts,
And contemplate Your ways.

119:16  I will delight myself in Your statutes;
I will not forget Your word.

119:17  Deal bountifully with Your servant,
That I may live and keep Your word.

119:18  Open my eyes, that I may see
Wondrous things from Your law.

119:19  I am a stranger in the earth;
Do not hide Your commandments from me.

119:20  My soul breaks with longing
For Your judgments at all times.

119:21  You rebuke the proud—the cursed,
Who stray from Your commandments.

119:22  Remove from me reproach and contempt,
For I have kept Your testimonies.

119:23  Princes also sit and speak against me,
But Your servant meditates on Your statutes.

119:24  Your testimonies also are my delight
And my counselors.

119:25  My soul clings to the dust;
Revive me according to Your word.

119:26  I have declared my ways, and You answered me;
Teach me Your statutes.

119:27  Make me understand the way of Your precepts;
So shall I meditate on Your wonderful works.

119:28  My soul melts from heaviness;
Strengthen me according to Your word.

119:29  Remove from me the way of lying,
And grant me Your law graciously.

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

119:31  I cling to Your testimonies;
O LORD, do not put me to shame!

119:32  I will run the course of Your commandments,
For You shall enlarge my heart.

119:33  Teach me, O LORD, the way of Your statutes,
And I shall keep it to the end.

119:34  Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law;
Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

119:35  Make me walk in the path of Your commandments,
For I delight in it.

119:36  Incline my heart to Your testimonies,
And not to covetousness.

119:37  Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things,
And revive me in Your way.

119:38  Establish Your word to Your servant,
Who is devoted to fearing You.

119:39  Turn away my reproach which I dread,
For Your judgments are good.

119:40  Behold, I long for Your precepts;
Revive me in Your righteousness.

119:41  Let Your mercies come also to me, O LORD—
Your salvation according to Your word.

119:42  So shall I have an answer for him who reproaches me,
For I trust in Your word.

119:43  And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth,
For I have hoped in Your ordinances.

119:44  So shall I keep Your law continually,
Forever and ever.

119:45  And I will walk at liberty,
For I seek Your precepts.

119:46  I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings,
And will not be ashamed.

119:47  And I will delight myself in Your commandments,
Which I love.

119:48  My hands also I will lift up to Your commandments,
Which I love,
And I will meditate on Your statutes.

119:49  Remember the word to Your servant,
Upon which You have caused me to hope.

119:50  This is my comfort in my affliction,
For Your word has given me life.

119:51  The proud have me in great derision,
Yet I do not turn aside from Your law.

119:52  I remembered Your judgments of old, O LORD,
And have comforted myself.

119:53  Indignation has taken hold of me
Because of the wicked, who forsake Your law.

119:54  Your statutes have been my songs
In the house of my pilgrimage.

119:55  I remember Your name in the night, O LORD,
And I keep Your law.

119:56  This has become mine,
Because I kept Your precepts.

119:57  You are my portion, O LORD;
I have said that I would keep Your words.

119:58  I entreated Your favor with my whole heart;
Be merciful to me according to Your word.

119:59  I thought about my ways,
And turned my feet to Your testimonies.

119:60  I made haste, and did not delay
To keep Your commandments.

119:61  The cords of the wicked have bound me,
But I have not forgotten Your law.

119:62  At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You,
Because of Your righteous judgments.

119:63  I am a companion of all who fear You,
And of those who keep Your precepts.

119:64  The earth, O LORD, is full of Your mercy;
Teach me Your statutes.

119:65  You have dealt well with Your servant,
O LORD, according to Your word.

119:66  Teach me good judgment and knowledge,
For I believe Your commandments.

119:67  Before I was afflicted I went astray,
But now I keep Your word.

119:68  You are good, and do good;
Teach me Your statutes.

119:69  The proud have forged a lie against me,
But I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart.

119:70  Their heart is as fat as grease,
But I delight in Your law.

119:71  It is good for me that I have been afflicted,
That I may learn Your statutes.

119:72  The law of Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of coins of gold and silver.

119:73  Your hands have made me and fashioned me;
Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.

119:74  Those who fear You will be glad when they see me,
Because I have hoped in Your word.

119:75  I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are right,
And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.

119:76  Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort,
According to Your word to Your servant.

119:77  Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live;
For Your law is my delight.

119:78  Let the proud be ashamed,
For they treated me wrongfully with falsehood;
But I will meditate on Your precepts.

119:79  Let those who fear You turn to me,
Those who know Your testimonies.

119:80  Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes,
That I may not be ashamed.

119:81  My soul faints for Your salvation,
But I hope in Your word.

119:82  My eyes fail from searching Your word,
Saying, “When will You comfort me?”

119:83  For I have become like a wineskin in smoke,
Yet I do not forget Your statutes.

119:84  How many are the days of Your servant?
When will You execute judgment on those who persecute me?

119:85  The proud have dug pits for me,
Which is not according to Your law.

119:86  All Your commandments are faithful;
They persecute me wrongfully;
Help me!

119:87  They almost made an end of me on earth,
But I did not forsake Your precepts.

119:88  Revive me according to Your lovingkindness,
So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth.

119:89  Forever, O LORD,
Your word is settled in heaven.

119:90  Your faithfulness endures to all generations;
You established the earth, and it abides.

119:91  They continue this day according to Your ordinances,
For all are Your servants.

119:92  Unless Your law had been my delight,
I would then have perished in my affliction.

119:93  I will never forget Your precepts,
For by them You have given me life.

119:94  I am Yours, save me;
For I have sought Your precepts.

119:95  The wicked wait for me to destroy me,
But I will consider Your testimonies.

119:96  I have seen the consummation of all perfection,
But Your commandment is exceedingly broad.

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

119:98  You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies;
For they are ever with me.

119:99  I have more understanding than all my teachers,
For Your testimonies are my meditation.

119:100  I understand more than the ancients,
Because I keep Your precepts.

119:101  I have restrained my feet from every evil way,
That I may keep Your word.

119:102  I have not departed from Your judgments,
For You Yourself have taught me.

119:103  How sweet are Your words to my taste,
Sweeter than honey to my mouth!

119:104  Through Your precepts I get understanding;
Therefore I hate every false way.

119:105  Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.

119:106  I have sworn and confirmed
That I will keep Your righteous judgments.

119:107  I am afflicted very much;
Revive me, O LORD, according to Your word.

119:108  Accept, I pray, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD,
And teach me Your judgments.

119:109  My life is continually in my hand,
Yet I do not forget Your law.

119:110  The wicked have laid a snare for me,
Yet I have not strayed from Your precepts.

119:111  Your testimonies I have taken as a heritage forever,
For they are the rejoicing of my heart.

119:112  I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes
Forever, to the very end.

119:113  I hate the double-minded,
But I love Your law.

119:114  You are my hiding place and my shield;
I hope in Your word.

119:115  Depart from me, you evildoers,
For I will keep the commandments of my God!

119:116  Uphold me according to Your word, that I may live;
And do not let me be ashamed of my hope.

119:117  Hold me up, and I shall be safe,
And I shall observe Your statutes continually.

119:118  You reject all those who stray from Your statutes,
For their deceit is falsehood.

119:119  You put away all the wicked of the earth like dross;
Therefore I love Your testimonies.

119:120  My flesh trembles for fear of You,
And I am afraid of Your judgments.

119:121  I have done justice and righteousness;
Do not leave me to my oppressors.

119:122  Be surety for Your servant for good;
Do not let the proud oppress me.

119:123  My eyes fail from seeking Your salvation
And Your righteous word.

119:124  Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy,
And teach me Your statutes.

119:125  I am Your servant;
Give me understanding,
That I may know Your testimonies.

119:126  It is time for You to act, O LORD,
For they have regarded Your law as void.

119:127  Therefore I love Your commandments
More than gold, yes, than fine gold!

119:128  Therefore all Your precepts concerning all things
I consider to be right;
I hate every false way.

119:129  Your testimonies are wonderful;
Therefore my soul keeps them.

119:130  The entrance of Your words gives light;
It gives understanding to the simple.

119:131  I opened my mouth and panted,
For I longed for Your commandments.

119:132  Look upon me and be merciful to me,
As Your custom is toward those who love Your name.

119:133  Direct my steps by Your word,
And let no iniquity have dominion over me.

119:134  Redeem me from the oppression of man,
That I may keep Your precepts.

119:135  Make Your face shine upon Your servant,
And teach me Your statutes.

119:136  Rivers of water run down from my eyes,
Because men do not keep Your law.

119:137  Righteous are You, O LORD,
And upright are Your judgments.

119:138  Your testimonies, which You have commanded,
Are righteous and very faithful.

119:139  My zeal has consumed me,
Because my enemies have forgotten Your words.

119:140  Your word is very pure;
Therefore Your servant loves it.

119:141  I am small and despised,
Yet I do not forget Your precepts.

119:142  Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,
And Your law is truth.

119:143  Trouble and anguish have overtaken me,
Yet Your commandments are my delights.

119:144  The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting;
Give me understanding, and I shall live.

119:145  I cry out with my whole heart;
Hear me, O LORD!
I will keep Your statutes.

119:146  I cry out to You;
Save me, and I will keep Your testimonies.

119:147  I rise before the dawning of the morning,
And cry for help;
I hope in Your word.

119:148  My eyes are awake through the night watches,
That I may meditate on Your word.

119:149  Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness;
O LORD, revive me according to Your justice.

119:150  They draw near who follow after wickedness;
They are far from Your law.

119:151  You are near, O LORD,
And all Your commandments are truth.

119:152  Concerning Your testimonies,
I have known of old that You have founded them forever.

119:153  Consider my affliction and deliver me,
For I do not forget Your law.

119:154  Plead my cause and redeem me;
Revive me according to Your word.

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

119:156  Great are Your tender mercies, O LORD;
Revive me according to Your judgments.

119:157  Many are my persecutors and my enemies,
Yet I do not turn from Your testimonies.

119:158  I see the treacherous, and am disgusted,
Because they do not keep Your word.

119:159  Consider how I love Your precepts;
Revive me, O LORD, according to Your lovingkindness.

119:160  The entirety of Your word is truth,
And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever.

119:161  Princes persecute me without a cause,
But my heart stands in awe of Your word.

119:162  I rejoice at Your word
As one who finds great treasure.

119:163  I hate and abhor lying,
But I love Your law.

119:164  Seven times a day I praise You,
Because of Your righteous judgments.

119:165  Great peace have those who love Your law,
And nothing causes them to stumble.

119:166  LORD, I hope for Your salvation,
And I do Your commandments.

119:167  My soul keeps Your testimonies,
And I love them exceedingly.

119:168  I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies,
For all my ways are before You.

119:169  Let my cry come before You, O LORD;
Give me understanding according to Your word.

119:170  Let my supplication come before You;
Deliver me according to Your word.

119:171  My lips shall utter praise,
For You teach me Your statutes.

119:172  My tongue shall speak of Your word,
For all Your commandments are righteousness.

119:173  Let Your hand become my help,
For I have chosen Your precepts.

119:174  I long for Your salvation, O LORD,
And Your law is my delight.

119:175  Let my soul live, and it shall praise You;
And let Your judgments help me.

119:176  I have gone astray like a lost sheep;
Seek Your servant,
For I do not forget Your commandments.
