PS-119:1 ALEPH. Blessed [are] the undefiled in the way, who walk

in the law of

the LORD.

PS-119:2 Blessed [are] they that keep his testimonies, [and

that] seek him

with the whole heart.

PS-119:3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

PS-119:4 Thou hast commanded [us] to keep thy precepts

diligently.

PS-119:5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

PS-119:6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto

all thy

commandments.

PS-119:7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I

shall have

learned thy righteous judgments.

PS-119:8 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.

PS-119:9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by

taking heed

[thereto] according to thy word.

PS-119:10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not

wander from thy

commandments.

PS-119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not

sin against

thee.

PS-119:12 Blessed [art] thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.

PS-119:13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy

mouth.

PS-119:14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as

[much as] in all

riches.

PS-119:15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto

thy ways.

PS-119:16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not

forget thy word.

PS-119:17 GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, [that] I may

live, and

keep thy word.

PS-119:18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things

out of thy

law.

PS-119:19 I [am] a stranger in the earth: hide not thy

commandments from me.

PS-119:20 My soul breaketh for the longing [that it hath] unto

thy judgments

at all times.

PS-119:21 Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed, which

do err from thy

commandments.

PS-119:22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept

thy

testimonies.

PS-119:23 Princes also did sit [and] speak against me: [but] thy

servant did

meditate in thy statutes.

PS-119:24 Thy testimonies also [are] my delight [and] my

counsellors.

PS-119:25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou

me according to

thy word.

PS-119:26 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach

me thy

statutes.

PS-119:27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so

shall I talk of

thy wondrous works.

PS-119:28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me

according unto thy

word.

PS-119:29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law

graciously.

PS-119:30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I

laid [before

me].

PS-119:31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not

to shame.

PS-119:32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou

shalt enlarge my

heart.

PS-119:33 HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I

shall keep it

[unto] the end.

PS-119:34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea,

I shall

observe it with [my] whole heart.

PS-119:35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for

therein do I

delight.

PS-119:36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to

covetousness.

PS-119:37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; [and]

quicken thou me in

thy way.

PS-119:38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who [is devoted]

to thy fear.

PS-119:39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments

[are] good.

PS-119:40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me

in thy

righteousness.

PS-119:41 VAU. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, [even]

thy

salvation, according to thy word.

PS-119:42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that

reproacheth me: for I

trust in thy word.

PS-119:43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth;

 for I have

hoped in thy judgments.

PS-119:44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.

PS-119:45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.

PS-119:46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and

will not be

ashamed.

PS-119:47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I

have loved.

PS-119:48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments,

which I have

loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.

PS-119:49 ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which

thou hast

caused me to hope.

PS-119:50 This [is] my comfort in my affliction: for thy word

hath quickened

me.

PS-119:51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: [yet] have

I not declined

from thy law.

PS-119:52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have

comforted

myself.

PS-119:53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked

that forsake

thy law.

PS-119:54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my

pilgrimage.

PS-119:55 I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and

have kept thy

law.

PS-119:56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts.

PS-119:57 CHETH. [Thou art] my portion, O LORD: I have said that

I would keep

thy words.

PS-119:58 I entreated thy favour with [my] whole heart: be

merciful unto me

according to thy word.

PS-119:59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy

testimonies.

PS-119:60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.

PS-119:61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: [but] I have

not forgotten

thy law.

PS-119:62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee

because of thy

righteous judgments.

PS-119:63 I [am] a companion of all [them] that fear thee, and

of them that

keep thy precepts.

PS-119:64 The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy

statutes.

PS-119:65 TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD,

according unto

thy word.

PS-119:66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have

believed thy

commandments.

PS-119:67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I

kept thy word.

PS-119:68 Thou [art] good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.

PS-119:69 The proud have forged a lie against me: [but] I will

keep thy

precepts with [my] whole heart.

PS-119:70 Their heart is as fat as grease; [but] I delight in

thy law.

PS-119:71 [It is] good for me that I have been afflicted; that I

might learn

thy statutes.

PS-119:72 The law of thy mouth [is] better unto me than

thousands of gold and

silver.

PS-119:73 JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me

understanding,

that I may learn thy commandments.

PS-119:74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me;

because I have

hoped in thy word.

PS-119:75 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments [are] right, and

[that] thou in

faithfulness hast afflicted me.

PS-119:76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my

comfort, according

to thy word unto thy servant.

PS-119:77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live:

for thy law

[is] my delight.

PS-119:78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely

with me without

a cause: [but] I will meditate in thy precepts.

PS-119:79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that

have known thy

testimonies.

PS-119:80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not

ashamed.

PS-119:81 CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: [but] I hope

in thy word.

PS-119:82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou

comfort me?

PS-119:83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; [yet] do I

not forget

thy statutes.

PS-119:84 How many [are] the days of thy servant? when wilt thou

execute

judgment on them that persecute me?

PS-119:85 The proud have digged pits for me, which [are] not

after thy law.

PS-119:86 All thy commandments [are] faithful: they persecute me

wrongfully;

help thou me.

PS-119:87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook

not thy

precepts.

PS-119:88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep

the testimony

of thy mouth.

PS-119:89 LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

PS-119:90 Thy faithfulness [is] unto all generations: thou hast

established

the earth, and it abideth.

PS-119:91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances:

for all [are]

thy servants.

PS-119:92 Unless thy law [had been] my delights, I should then

have perished

in mine affliction.

PS-119:93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou

hast quickened

me.

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

PS-119:95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: [but] I

will consider

thy testimonies.

PS-119:96 I have seen an end of all perfection: [but] thy

commandment [is]

exceeding broad.

PS-119:97 MEM. O how love I thy law! it [is] my meditation all

the day.

PS-119:98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than

mine enemies:

for they [are] ever with me.

PS-119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for

thy testimonies

[are] my meditation.

PS-119:100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep

thy precepts.

PS-119:101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I

might keep thy

word.

PS-119:102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast

taught me.

PS-119:103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! [yea, sweeter]

than honey to

my mouth!

PS-119:104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I

hate every

false way.

PS-119:105 NUN. Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light

unto my path.

PS-119:106 I have sworn, and I will perform [it], that I will

keep thy

righteous judgments.

PS-119:107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD,

according unto thy

word.

PS-119:108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my

mouth, O LORD,

and teach me thy judgments.

PS-119:109 My soul [is] continually in my hand: yet do I not

forget thy law.

PS-119:110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not

from thy

precepts.

PS-119:111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever:

for they

[are] the rejoicing of my heart.

PS-119:112 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes

alway, [even

unto] the end.

PS-119:113 SAMECH. I hate [vain] thoughts: but thy law do I love.

PS-119:114 Thou [art] my hiding place and my shield: I hope in

thy word.

PS-119:115 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the

commandments of

my God.

PS-119:116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live:

and let me not

be ashamed of my hope.

PS-119:117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have

respect unto

thy statutes continually.

PS-119:118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy

statutes: for

their deceit [is] falsehood.

PS-119:119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth [like]

dross:

therefore I love thy testimonies.

PS-119:120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid

of thy

judgments.

PS-119:121 AIN. I have done judgment and justice: leave me not

to mine

oppressors.

PS-119:122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud

oppress me.

PS-119:123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of

thy

righteousness.

PS-119:124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and

teach me thy

statutes.

PS-119:125 I [am] thy servant; give me understanding, that I may

know thy

testimonies.

PS-119:126 [It is] time for [thee], LORD, to work: [for] they

have made void

thy law.

PS-119:127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea,

above fine gold.

PS-119:128 Therefore I esteem all [thy] precepts [concerning]

all [things to

be] right; [and] I hate every false way.

PS-119:129 PE. Thy testimonies [are] wonderful: therefore doth

my soul keep

them.

PS-119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth

understanding

unto the simple.

PS-119:131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy

commandments.

PS-119:132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou

usest to do

unto those that love thy name.

PS-119:133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity

have dominion

over me.

PS-119:134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep

thy precepts.

PS-119:135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me

thy statutes.

PS-119:136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they

keep not thy law.

PS-119:137 TZADDI. Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, and upright

[are] thy

judgments.

PS-119:138 Thy testimonies [that] thou hast commanded [are]

righteous and very

faithful.

PS-119:139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have

forgotten thy

words.

PS-119:140 Thy word [is] very pure: therefore thy servant loveth

it.

PS-119:141 I [am] small and despised: [yet] do not I forget thy

precepts.

PS-119:142 Thy righteousness [is] an everlasting righteousness,

and thy law

[is] the truth.

PS-119:143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: [yet] thy

commandments

[are] my delights.

PS-119:144 The righteousness of thy testimonies [is] everlasting:

 give me

understanding, and I shall live.

PS-119:145 KOPH. I cried with [my] whole heart; hear me, O LORD:

I will keep

thy statutes.

PS-119:146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy

testimonies.

PS-119:147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I

hoped in thy

word.

PS-119:148 Mine eyes prevent the [night] watches, that I might

meditate in thy

word.

PS-119:149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O

LORD, quicken me

according to thy judgment.

PS-119:150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are

far from thy

law.

PS-119:151 Thou [art] near, O LORD; and all thy commandments

[are] truth.

PS-119:152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that

thou hast

founded them for ever.

PS-119:153 RESH. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I

do not forget

thy law.

PS-119:154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according

to thy word.

PS-119:155 Salvation [is] far from the wicked: for they seek not

thy statutes.

PS-119:156 Great [are] thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me

according to thy

judgments.

PS-119:157 Many [are] my persecutors and mine enemies; [yet] do

I not decline

from thy testimonies.

PS-119:158 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because

they kept not

thy word.

PS-119:159 Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD,

according to

thy lovingkindness.

PS-119:160 Thy word [is] true [from] the beginning: and every

one of thy

righteous judgments [endureth] for ever.

PS-119:161 SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause:

but my heart

standeth in awe of thy word.

PS-119:162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great

spoil.

PS-119:163 I hate and abhor lying: [but] thy law do I love.

PS-119:164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy

righteous

judgments.

PS-119:165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing

shall offend

them.

PS-119:166 LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy

commandments.

PS-119:167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them

exceedingly.

PS-119:168 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all

my ways [are]

before thee.

PS-119:169 TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me

understanding according to thy word.

PS-119:170 Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me

according to thy

word.

PS-119:171 My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me

thy statutes.

PS-119:172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy

commandments [are]

righteousness.

PS-119:173 Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy

precepts.

PS-119:174 I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law

[is] my

delight.

PS-119:175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let

thy judgments

help me.

PS-119:176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy

servant; for I do

not forget thy commandments.
