in the way, who walk in te law of the Lord.
119:2 Blessed are they that search out his testimonies: they will diligently
seek him with the whole heart.
119:3 For they that work iniquity have not walked in his ways.
119:4 Thou hast commanded [us] diligently to keep thy precepts.
119:5 O that my ways were directed to keep thine ordinances.
119:6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect to all thy
commandments.
119:7 I will give thee thanks with uprightness of heart, when I have learnt
the judgments of thy righteousness.
119:8 I will keep thine ordinances: O forsake me not greatly.
119:9 Wherewith shall a young man direct his way? by keeping thy words.
119:10 With my whole heart have I diligently sought thee: cast me not away
from thy commandments.
119:11 I have hidden thine oracles in my heart, that I might not sin against
thee.
119:12 Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thine ordinances.
119:13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
119:14 I have delighted in the way of thy testimonies, [as much] as in all
riches.
119:15 I will meditate on thy commandments, and consider thy ways.
119:16 I will meditate on thine ordinances: I will not forget thy words.
119:17 Render a recompense to thy servant: [so] shall I live, and keep thy
words.
119:18 Unveil thou mine eyes, and I shall perceive wondrous things of thy
law.
119:19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
119:20 My soul has longed exceedingly for thy judgments at all times.
119:21 Thou has rebuked the proud: cursed are they that turn aside from thy
commandments.
119:22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have sought out thy
testimonies.
119:23 For princes sat and spoke against me: but thy servant was meditating
on thine ordinances.
119:24 For thy testimonies are my meditation, and thine ordinances are my
counsellors.
119:25 My soul has cleaved to the ground; quicken thou me according to thy
word.
119:26 I declared my ways, and thou didst hear me: teach me thine
ordinances.
119:27 Instruct me in the was of thine ordinances; and I will meditate on
thy wondrous works.
119:28 My soul has slumbered for sorrow; strengthen thou me with thy words.
119:29 Remove from me the way of iniquity; and be merciful to me by thy law.
119:30 I have chosen the way of truth; and have not forgotten thy judgments.
119:31 I have cleaved to thy testimonies, O Lord; put me not to shame.
119:32 I ran the way of thy commandments, when thou didst enlarge my heart.
119:33 Teach me, O Lord, the way of thine ordinances, and I will seek it out
continually.
119:34 Instruct me, and I will search out thy law, and will keep it with my
whole heart.
119:35 Guide me in the path of thy commandments; for I have delighted in it.
119:36 Incline mine heart to thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
119:37 Turn away mine eyes that I may not behold vanity: quicken thou me in
thy way.
119:38 Confirm thine oracle to thy servant, that he may fear thee.
119:39 Take away my reproach which I have feared: for thy judgments are
good.
119:40 Behold, I have desired thy commandments: quicken me in thy
righteousness.
119:41 And let thy mercy come upon me, O Lord; [even] thy salvation,
according to thy word.
119:42 And [so] I shall render an answer to them that reproach me: for I
have trusted in thy words.
119:43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have
hoped in thy judgments.
119:44 So shall I keep thy law continually, for ever and ever.
119:45 I walked also at large: for I sought out thy commandments.
119:46 And I spoke of thy testimonies before kings, and was not ashamed.
119:47 And I meditated on thy commandments, which I loved exceedingly.
119:48 And I lifted up my hands to thy commandments which I loved; and I
meditated in thine ordinances.
119:49 Remember thy words to thy servant, wherein thou hast made me hope.
119:50 This has comforted me in mine affliction: for thine oracle has
quickened me.
119:51 The proud have transgressed exceedingly; but I swerved not from thy
law.
119:52 I remembered thy judgement of old, O Lord; and was comforted.
119:53 Despair took hold upon me, because of the sinners who forsake thy
law.
119:54 Thine ordinances were my sons in the place of my sojourning.
119:55 I remembered thy name, O Lord, in the night, and kept thy law.
119:56 This I had, because I diligently sought thine ordinances.
119:57 Thou art my portion, O Lord: I said that I would keep thy law.
119:58 I besought thy favour with my whole heart: have mercy upon me
according to thy word.
119:59 I thought on thy ways, and turned my feet to thy testimonies.
119:60 I prepared myself, (and was not terrified,) to keep thy commandments.
119:61 The snares of sinners entangled me: but I forgot not thy law.
119:62 At midnight I arose, to give thanks to thee for the judgments of thy
righteousness.
119:63 I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep
thy commandments.
119:64 O Lord, the earth is full of thy mercy: teach me thine ordinances.
119:65 Thou hast wrought kindly with thy servant, o Lord, according to thy
word.
119:66 Teach me kindness, and instruction, and knowledge: for I have
believed thy commandments.
119:67 Before I was afflicted, I transgressed; therefore have I kept thy
word.
119:68 Good art thou, O Lord; therefore in thy goodness teach me thine
ordinances.
119:69 The injustice of the proud has been multiplied against me: but I will
search out thy commandments with all my heart.
119:70 Their heart has been curdled like milk; but I have meditated on thy
law.
119:71 [It is] good for me that thou hast afflicted me; that I might learn
thine ordinances.
119:72 The law of thy mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and
silver.
119:73 Thy hands have made me, and fashioned me: instruct me, that I may
learn thy commandments.
119:74 They that fear thee will see me and rejoice: for I have hoped in thy
words.
119:75 I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are righteousness, and [that] thou
in truthfulness hast afflicted me.
119:76 Let, I pray thee, thy mercy be to comfort me, according t thy word to
thy servant.
119:77 Let thy compassions come to me, that I may live: for thy law is my
meditation.
119:78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they transgressed against me unjustly:
but I will meditate in thy commandments.
119:79 Let those that fear thee, and those that know thy testimonies, turn
to me.
119:80 Let mine heart be blameless in thine ordinances, that I may not be
ashamed.
119:81 My soul faints for thy salvation: I have hoped in thy words.
119:82 Mine eyes failed [in waiting] for thy word, saying, When wilt thou
comfort me?
119:83 For I am become as a bottle in the frost: [yet] I have not forgotten
thine ordinances.
119:84 How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment
for me on them that persecute me?
119:85 Transgressors told me [idle tales]; but not according to thy law, O
Lord.
119:86 All thy commandments are truth; they persecuted me unjustly; help
thou me.
119:87 They nearly made an end of me in the earth; but I forsook not thy
commandments.
119:88 Quicken me according to thy mercy; so shall I keep the testimonies of
thy mouth.
119:89 Thy word, O Lord, abides in heaven for ever.
119:90 Thy truth [endures] to all generations; thou hast founded the earth,
and it abides.
119:91 The day continues by thy arrangement; for all things are thy
servants.
119:92 Were it not that thy law is my meditation, then I should have
perished in mine affliction.
119:93 I will never forget thine ordinances; for with them thou hast
quickened me.
119:94 I am thine, save me; for I have sought out thine ordinances.
119:95 Sinners laid wait for me to destroy me; [but] I understood thy
testimonies.
119:96 I have seen an end of all perfection; [but] thy commandment is very
broad.
119:97 How I have loved thy law, O Lord! it is my meditation all the day.
119:98 Thou hast made me wiser than mine enemies [in] thy commandment; for
it is mine for ever.
119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers; for thy testimonies
are my medication.
119:100 I understand more that the aged; because I have sought out thy
commandments.
119:101 I have kept back my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy
words.
119:102 I have not declined from thy judgments; for thou hast instructed me.
119:103 How sweet are thine oracles to my throat! more so than honey to my
mouth!
119:104 I gain understanding by thy commandments: therefore I have hated
every way of unrighteousness.
119:105 Thy law is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths.
119:106 I have sworn and determined to keep the judgments of thy
righteousness.
119:107 I have been very greatly afflicted, O Lord: quicken me, according to
thy word.
119:108 Accept, I pray thee, O Lord, the freewill-offerings of my mouth, and
teach me thy judgments.
119:109 My soul is continually in thine hands; and I have not forgotten thy
law.
119:110 Sinners spread a snare for me; but I erred not from thy
commandments.
119:111 I have inherited thy testimonies for ever; for they are the joy of
my heart.
119:112 I have inclined my heart to perform thine ordinances for ever, in
return [for thy mercies].
119:113 I have hated transgressors; but I have loved thy law.
119:114 Thou art my helper and my supporter; I have hoped in thy words.
119:115 Depart from me, ye evil-doers; for I will search out the
commandments of my God.
119:116 Uphold me according to thy word, and quicken me; and make me not
ashamed of my expectation.
119:117 Help me, and I shall be saved; and I will meditate in thine
ordinances continually.
119:118 Thou hast brought to nought all that depart from thine ordinances;
for their inward thought is unrighteous.
119:119 I have reckoned all the sinners of the earth as transgressors;
therefore have I loved thy testimonies.
119:120 Penetrate my flesh with thy fear; for I am afraid of thy judgments.
119:121 I have done judgment and justice; deliver me not up to them that
injure me.
119:122 Receive thy servant for good: let not the proud accuse me falsely.
119:123 Mine eyes have failed for thy salvation, and for the word of thy
righteousness.
119:124 Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy, and teach me thine
ordinances.
119:125 I am thy servant; instruct me, and I shall know thy testimonies.
119:126 [It is] time for the Lord to work: they have utterly broken thy law.
119:127 Therefore have I loved thy commandments more than gold, or the
topaz.
119:128 Therefore I directed myself [according] to all thy commandments: I
have hated every unjust way.
119:129 Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore my soul has sought them
out.
119:130 The manifestation of thy words will enlighten, and instruct the
simple.
119:131 I opened my mouth, and drew breath: for I earnestly longed after thy
commandments.
119:132 Look upon me and have mercy upon me, after the manner of them that
love thy name.
119:133 Order my steps according to thy word: and let not any iniquity have
dominion over me.
119:134 Deliver me from the false accusation of men: so will I keep thy
commandments.
119:135 Cause thy face to shine upon thy servant: and teach me thine
ordinances.
119:136 Mine eyes have been bathed in streams of water, because I kept not
thy law.
119:137 Righteous art thou, O Lord, and upright are thy judgments.
119:138 Thou has commanded righteousness and perfect truth, [as] thy
testimonies.
119:139 Thy zeal has quite wasted me: because mine enemies have forgotten
thy words.
119:140 Thy word [has been] very fully tried; and thy servant loves it.
119:141 I am young and despised: [yet] I have not forgotten thine
ordinances.
119:142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is
truth.
119:143 Afflictions and distresses found me: [but] thy commandments [were]
my meditation.
119:144 Thy testimonies [are] an everlasting righteousness: instruct me, and
I shall live.
119:145 I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord: I will search out
thine ordinances.
119:146 I cried to thee; save me, and I will keep thy testimonies.
119:147 I arose before the dawn, and cried: I hoped in thy words.
119:148 Mine eyes prevented the dawn, hat I might meditate on thine oracles.
119:149 Hear my voice, O Lord, according to thy mercy; quicken me according
to thy judgment.
119:150 They have drawn nigh who persecuted me unlawfully; and they are far
removed from thy law.
119:151 Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy ways are truth.
119:152 I have known of old concerning thy testimonies, that thou hast
founded them for ever.
119:153 Look upon mine affliction, and rescue me; for I have not forgotten
thy law.
119:154 Plead my cause, and ransom me: quicken me because of thy word.
119:155 Salvation is far from sinners: for they have not searched out thine
ordinances.
119:156 Thy mercies, O Lord, are many: quicken me according to thy judgment.
119:157 Many are they that persecute me and oppress me: [but] I have not
declined from thy testimonies.
119:158 I beheld men acting foolishly, and I pined away; for they kept not
thine oracles.
119:159 Behold, I have loved thy commandments, O Lord: quicken me in thy
mercy.
119:160 The beginning of thy words is truth; and all the judgments of thy
righteousness [endure] for ever.
119:161 Princes persecuted me without a cause, but my heart feared because
of thy words.
119:162 I will exult because of thine oracles, as one that finds much spoil.
119:163 I hate and abhor unrighteousness; but I love thy law.
119:164 Seven times in a day have I praised thee because of the judgments of
thy righteousness.
119:165 Great peace have they that love thy law: and there is no
stumbling-block to them.
119:166 I waited for thy salvation, O Lord, and have loved thy commandments.
119:167 My soul has kept thy testimonies, and loved them exceedingly.
119:168 I have kept thy commandments and thy testimonies; for all my ways
are before thee, O Lord.
119:169 Let my supplication come near before thee, o Lord; instruct me
according to thine oracle.
119:170 Let my petition come in before thee, O Lord; deliver me according to
thine oracle.
119:171 Let my lips utter a hymn, when thou shalt have taught me thine
ordinances.
119:17 Let my tongue utter thine oracles; for all thy commandments are
righteous.
119:173 Let thine hand be [prompt] to save me; for I have chosen thy
commandments.
119:174 I have longed after thy salvation, O Lord; and thy law is my
meditation.
119:175 My soul shall live, and shall praise thee; and thy judgments shall
help me.
119:176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I have
not forgotten thy commandments. |
ALEPH. 119:1 Blessed are the undefiled in

commandments.
119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
119:12 Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.
119:13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.

riches.

law.
119:19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
119:20 My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at
all times.
119:21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy
commandments.
119:22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy
testimonies.
119:23 Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did
meditate in thy statutes.
119:24 Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.
DALETH.

wondrous works.
119:28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy
word.
119:29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.
119:30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.
119:31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.
119:32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my
heart.
HE.
119:33 Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto
the end.

delight.

according to thy word.
119:42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I
trust in thy word.
119:43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have
hoped in thy judgments.
119:44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.
119:45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
119:46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be
ashamed.
119:47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.

loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.
ZAIN.
119:49 Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to
hope.
119:50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.
119:51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined
from thy law.
119:52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.
119:53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy
law.
119:54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
119:55 I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy
law.
119:56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
CHETH.
119:57 Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.
119:58 I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me
according to thy word.
119:59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
119:60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.
119:61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy
law.
119:62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy
righteous judgments.
119:63 I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep
thy precepts.
119:64 The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
TETH.

119:68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
119:69 The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts
with my whole heart.
119:70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.
119:71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy
statutes.
119:72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and
silver.
JOD.

faithfulness hast afflicted me.

to thy word unto thy servant.
119:77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is
my delight.

cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
119:79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy
testimonies.
119:80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.
CAPH.
119:81 My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
119:82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
119:83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy
statutes.
119:84 How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment
on them that persecute me?
119:85 The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.
119:86 All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help
thou me.
119:87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy
precepts.
119:88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of
thy mouth.
LAMED.
119:89 For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
119:90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the
earth, and it abideth.
119:91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy
servants.

mine affliction.
119:93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened
me.
119:94 I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy precepts.
119:95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy
testimonies.

exceeding broad.

119:98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies:
for they are 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 ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
119:101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy
word.
119:102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
119:103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my
mouth!
119:104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every
false way.
NUN.
119:105 Thy 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 thy righteous
judgments.
119:107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy
word.
119:108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD,
and teach me thy judgments.
119:109 My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.
119:110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy
precepts.
119:111 Thy 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 thy statutes alway, even unto
the end.
SAMECH.
119:113 I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.
119:114 Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
119:115 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my
God.
119:116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not
be ashamed of my hope.
119:117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto
thy statutes continually.
119:118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for
their deceit is falsehood.
119:119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore
I love thy testimonies.
119:120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy
judgments.

119:121 I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.
119:122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.
119:123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy
righteousness.
119:124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, 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 thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.
119:127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.
119:128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be
right; and I hate every false way.
PE.
119:129 Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto
the simple.
119:131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
119:132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto
those that love thy name.
119:133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion
over me.
119:134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
119:135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
119:136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.
TZADDE.
119:137 Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.
119:138 Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very
faithful.
119:139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy
words.
119:140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
119:141 I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.
119:142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is
the truth.
119:143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are
my delights.
119:144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me
understanding, and I shall live.
KOPH.
119:145 I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy
statutes.
119:146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.
119:147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy
word.
119:148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy
word.
119:149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me
according to thy judgment.
119:150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy
law.
119:151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.
119:152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast
founded them for ever.
RESH.
119:153 Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy
law.
119:154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.
119:155 Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
119:156 Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy
judgments.
119:157 Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from
thy testimonies.
119:158 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not
thy word.
119:159 Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to
thy lovingkindness.
119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous
judgments endureth for ever.
SCHIN.
119:161 Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in
awe of thy word.
119:162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
119:163 I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.
119:164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous
judgments.
119:165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend
them.
119:166 LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.
119:167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
119:168 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are
before thee.
TAU.
119:169 Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding
according to thy word.
119:170 Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy
word.
119:171 My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.
119:172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are
righteousness.
119:173 Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.
119:174 I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight.
119:175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments
help me.

forget thy commandments. |
