Psalms
Chapter 119
1 ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law
of the LORD.
2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him
with the whole heart.
3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
4 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy
commandments.
7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have
learned thy righteous judgments.
8 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking
heed thereto according to thy word.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from
thy commandments.
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against
thee.
12 Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.
13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all
riches.
15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy
word.
17 GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and
keep thy word.
18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of
thy law.
19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
20 My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments
at all times.
21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from
thy commandments.
22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy
testimonies.
23 Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did
meditate in thy statutes.
24 Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.
25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me
according to thy word.
26 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy
statutes.
27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk
of thy wondrous works.
28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto
thy word.
29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law
graciously.
30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before
me.
31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.
32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge
my heart.
33 HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep
it unto the end.
34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall
observe it with my whole heart.
35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I
delight.
36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me
in thy way.
38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.
39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.
40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy
righteousness.
41 VAU. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy
salvation, according to thy word.
42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for
I trust in thy word.
43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I
have hoped in thy judgments.
44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.
45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not
be ashamed.
47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have
loved.
48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have
loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.
49 ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast
caused me to hope.
50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened
me.
51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not
declined from thy law.
52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted
myself.
53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that
forsake thy law.
54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
55 I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept
thy law.
56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
57 CHETH. Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would
keep thy words.
58 I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me
according to thy word.
59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.
61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten
thy law.
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy
righteous judgments.
63 I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that
keep thy precepts.
64 The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
65 TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according
unto thy word.
66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy
commandments.
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy
word.
68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
69 The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy
precepts with my whole heart.
70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn
thy statutes.
72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold
and silver.
73 JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me
understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I
have hoped in thy word.
75 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in
faithfulness hast afflicted me.
76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort,
according to thy word unto thy servant.
77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy
law is my delight.
78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me
without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known
thy testimonies.
80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.
81 CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy
word.
82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget
thy statutes.
84 How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute
judgment on them that persecute me?
85 The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.
86 All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me
wrongfully; help thou me.
87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy
precepts.
88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the
testimony of thy mouth.
89 LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established
the earth, and it abideth.
91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all
are thy servants.
92 Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have
perished in mine affliction.
93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast
quickened me.
94 I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.
95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will
consider thy testimonies.
96 I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is
exceeding broad.
97 MEM. O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.

enemies: for they are ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy
testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy
precepts.
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might
keep thy word.
102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught
me.
103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey
to my mouth!
104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate
every false way.
105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my
path.
106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy
righteous judgments.
107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto
thy word.
108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O
LORD, and teach me thy judgments.
109 My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy
law.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy
precepts.
111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they
are the rejoicing of my heart.
112 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even
unto the end.
113 SAMECH. I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.
114 Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

of my God.
116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me
not be ashamed of my hope.
117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect
unto thy statutes continually.
118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes:
for their deceit is falsehood.
119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross:
therefore I love thy testimonies.
120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy
judgments.
121 AIN. I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine
oppressors.
122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress
me.
123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy
righteousness.
124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me
thy statutes.
125 I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy
testimonies.
126 It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void
thy law.
127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine
gold.
128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to
be right; and I hate every false way.
129 PE. Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep
them.
130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth
understanding unto the simple.

commandments.

do unto those that love thy name.

dominion over me.

precepts.

statutes.
136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy
law.
137 TZADDI. Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy
judgments.
138 Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and
very faithful.
139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten
thy words.
140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
141 I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.
142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law
is the truth.
143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy
commandments are my delights.
144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me
understanding, and I shall live.
145 KOPH. I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will
keep thy statutes.

147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in
thy word.
148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in
thy word.

judgments.
165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall
offend them.
