119:1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the
LORD.
119:2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that 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 O that my ways were directed to keep your statutes!
119:6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all your
commandments.
119:7 I will praise you with uprightness of heart, when I shall have
learned your righteous judgments.
119:8 I will keep your statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
119:9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed
thereto according to your word.
119:10 With my whole heart have I sought you: O let me not wander from
your commandments.
119:11 Your word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against
you.
119:12 Blessed are you, O LORD: teach me your statutes.
119:13 With my lips have I 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 in your precepts, and have respect unto 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 you mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of
your law.
119:19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not your commandments from
me.
119:20 My soul breaks for the longing that it has unto your judgments
at all times.
119:21 You have rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do go astray
from your commandments.
119:22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept your testimonies.
119:23 Princes also did sit and speak against me: but your servant
did meditate in your statutes.
119:24 Your testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.
119:25 My soul cleaves unto the dust: you restore life in me according
to your word.
119:26 I have declared my ways, and you heard me: teach me your statutes.
119:27 Make me to understand the way of your precepts: so shall I talk
of your wondrous works.
119:28 My soul melts for heaviness: strengthen you me according unto
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 have I laid before
me.
119:31 I have stuck unto your testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.
119:32 I will run the way of your commandments, when you shall enlarge
my heart.
119:33 Teach me, O LORD, the way of your statutes; and I shall keep
it unto the end.
119:34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep your law; yea, I shall
observe it with my whole heart.
119:35 Make me to go in the path of your commandments; for therein
do I delight.
119:36 Incline my heart unto your testimonies, and not to covetousness.
119:37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and you restore life
in me in your way.
119:38 Establish your word unto your servant, who is devoted to your
fear.
119:39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for your judgments are good.
119:40 Behold, I have longed after your precepts: restore life in me
in your righteousness.
119:41 Let your mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even your salvation,
according to your word.
119:42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that 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 judgments.
119:44 So shall I keep your law continually for ever 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 have
loved.
119:48 My hands also will I lift up unto your commandments, which I
have loved; and I will meditate in your statutes.
119:49 Remember the word unto your servant, upon which you have caused
me to hope.
119:50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for your word has quickened
me.
119:51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined
from your law.
119:52 I remembered your judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted
myself.
119:53 Horror has taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake
your law.
119:54 Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
119:55 I have remembered your name, O LORD, in the night, and have
kept your law.
119:56 This I had, 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 implored your favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto
me according to your word.
119:59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto your testimonies.
119:60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep your commandments.
119:61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten
your law.
119:62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto you because of your
righteous judgments.
119:63 I am a companion of all them that fear you, and of them that
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 unto
your word.
119:66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed your
commandments.
119:67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept 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 might learn
your statutes.
119:72 The law of your mouth is better unto me than thousands 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 They that 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 you
in faithfulness have afflicted me.
119:76 Let, I pray you, your merciful kindness be for my comfort, according
to your word unto your servant.
119:77 Let your tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for your
law is my delight.
119:78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me
without a cause: but I will meditate in your precepts.
119:79 Let those that fear you turn unto me, and those that have known
your testimonies.
119:80 Let my heart be sound in your statutes; that I be not ashamed.
119:81 My soul faints for your salvation: but I hope in your word.
119:82 Mine eyes fail for your word, saying, When will you comfort
me?
119:83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget
your statutes.
119:84 How many are the days of your servant? when will you execute
judgment on them that persecute me?
119:85 The proud have dug pits for me, which are not after your law.
119:86 All your commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully;
help you me.
119:87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not your
precepts.
119:88 Restore life in me after your loving kindness; so shall I keep
the testimony of your mouth.
119:89 For ever, O LORD, your word is settled in heaven.
119:90 Your faithfulness is unto all generations: you have 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 delights, I should then have perished
in mine affliction.
119:93 I will never forget your precepts: for with them you have quickened
me.
119:94 I am yours, save me: for I have sought your precepts.
119:95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider
your testimonies.
119:96 I have seen an end of all perfection: but your commandment is
exceeding broad.
119:97 O how I love your law! it is my meditation all the day.
119:98 You through your commandments have made me wiser than mine 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 refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might
keep your word.
119:102 I have not departed from your judgments: for you have taught
me.
119:103 How sweet are your words unto my taste! yea, 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 unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
119:106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep your
righteous judgments.
119:107 I am afflicted very much: restore life in me, O LORD, according
unto your word.
119:108 Accept, I plead to you, the freewill offerings of my mouth,
O LORD, and teach me your judgments.
119:109 My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget your
law.
119:110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from your
precepts.
119:111 Your testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for
they are the rejoicing of my heart.
119:112 I have inclined mine heart to perform your statutes always,
even unto the end.
119:113 I hate vain thoughts: but your law do I love.
119:114 You are my hiding place and my shield: I hope in your word.
119:115 Depart from me, all of you evildoers: for I will keep the commandments
of my God.
119:116 Uphold me according unto your word, that I may live: and let
me not be ashamed of my hope.
119:117 Hold you me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect
unto your statutes continually.
119:118 You have trodden down all them that go astray 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 judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.
119:122 Be guarantor for your servant for good: let not the proud oppress
me.
119:123 Mine eyes fail for your salvation, and for the word of your
righteousness.
119:124 Deal with your servant according unto 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, LORD, to work: for they have made void
your law.
119:127 Therefore I love your commandments above gold; yea, above fine
gold.
119:128 Therefore I esteem all your precepts concerning all things
to be right; and I hate every false way.
119:129 Your testimonies are wonderful: therefore does my soul keep
them.
119:130 The entrance of your words gives light; it gives understanding
unto the simple.
119:131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for your commandments.
119:132 Look you upon me, and be merciful unto me, as you use to do
unto those that love your name.
119:133 Order my steps in your word: and let not any iniquity have
dominion over me.
119:134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep your
precepts.
119:135 Make your face to shine upon your servant; and teach me your
statutes.
119:136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not
your law.
119:137 Righteous are you, O LORD, and upright are your judgments.
119:138 Your testimonies that you have commanded are righteous and
very faithful.
119:139 My zeal has consumed me, because mine 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 do not I forget your precepts.
119:142 Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and your
law is the truth.
119:143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on 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 cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep your
statutes.
119:146 I cried unto you; save me, and I shall keep your testimonies.
119:147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped
in your word.
119:148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate
in your word.
119:149 Hear my voice according unto your loving kindness: O LORD,
restore life in me according to your judgment.
119:150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: 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 for ever.
119:153 Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget
your law.
119:154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: restore life in me according
to your word.
119:155 Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not your statutes.
119:156 Great are your tender mercies, O LORD: restore life in me according
to your judgments.
119:157 Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline
from your testimonies.
119:158 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept
not your word.
119:159 Consider how I love your precepts: restore life in me, O LORD,
according to your loving kindness.
119:160 Your word is true from the beginning: and every one of your
righteous judgments endures for ever.
119:161 Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart stands
in awe of your word.
119:162 I rejoice at your word, as one that finds great spoil.
119:163 I hate and detest lying: but your law do I love.
119:164 Seven times a day do I praise you because of your righteous
judgments.
119:165 Great peace have they which love your law: and nothing shall
offend them.
119:166 LORD, I have hoped for your salvation, and done your commandments.
119:167 My soul has kept your testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
119:168 I have kept your precepts and your testimonies: for all my
ways are before you.
119:169 Let my cry come near 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, when you have taught me your statutes.
119:172 My tongue shall speak of your word: for all your commandments
are righteousness.
119:173 Let your hand help me; for I have chosen your precepts.
119:174 I have longed 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.
