119 ALEPH. Blessed are the perfect in the way, who walk in the law of Jehovah.

Blessed are they that observe his testimonies, that seek him with the whole heart;

Who also do no unrighteousness: they walk in his ways.

Thou hast enjoined thy precepts, to be kept diligently.

Oh that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.

I will give thee thanks with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.

I will keep thy statutes: forsake me not utterly.

BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his path? by taking heed according to thy word.

10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: let me not wander from thy commandments.

11 Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.

12 Blessed art thou, Jehovah! 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 wealth.

15 I will meditate upon thy precepts, and have respect unto thy paths.

16 I delight myself in thy statutes; I will not forget thy word.

17 GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant [and] I shall live; and I will keep thy word.

18 Open mine eyes, and I shall behold wondrous things out of thy law.

19 I am a stranger in the land; hide not thy commandments from me.

20 My soul breaketh for longing after thy judgments at all times.

21 Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed, who wander from thy commandments.

22 Roll off from me reproach and contempt; for I observe thy testimonies.

23 Princes also did sit [and] talk together against me: thy servant doth meditate in thy statutes.

24 Thy testimonies also are my delight [and] my counsellors.

25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken me according to thy word.

26 I have declared my ways, and thou hast answered me: teach me thy statutes.

27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts, and I will meditate upon thy wondrous works.

28 My soul melteth for sadness: strengthen me according to thy word.

29 Remove from me the way of falsehood, and graciously grant me thy law.

30 I have chosen the way of faithfulness; thy judgments have I set [before me].

31 I cleave unto thy testimonies; Jehovah, let me not be ashamed.

32 I will run the way of thy commandments when thou shalt enlarge my heart.

33 HE. Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of thy statutes, and I will observe it [unto] the end.

34 Give me understanding, and I will observe thy law; and I will keep it with [my] whole heart.

35 Make me to walk in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.

36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to gain.

37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; quicken me in thy way.

38 Establish 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. And let thy loving-kindness come unto me, O Jehovah,—thy salvation according to thy word.

42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me; for I confide in thy word.

43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; because I have hoped in thy judgments.

44 Then will I keep thy law continually, for ever and ever;

45 And I will walk at liberty, for I have sought thy precepts;

46 And I will speak of thy testimonies before kings, and will not be ashamed;

47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved;

48 And I will lift up my hands unto thy commandments, which I have loved, and I will meditate in thy statutes.

49 ZAIN. Remember the word for thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.

50 This is my comfort in mine affliction; for thy word hath quickened me.

51 The proud have derided me beyond measure: I have not declined from thy law.

52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O Jehovah, and have comforted myself.

53 Burning indignation hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked who forsake thy law.

54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

55 I have remembered thy name, O Jehovah, in the night, and have kept thy law.

56 This I have had, because I have observed thy precepts.

57 CHETH. My portion, O Jehovah, I have said, is to keep thy words.

58 I have sought thy favour with [my] whole heart: be gracious unto me according to thy word.

59 I have thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.

60 I have made haste, and not delayed, to keep thy commandments.

61 The bands of the wicked have wrapped me round: I have not forgotten thy law.

62 At midnight I rise up to give thanks unto thee, because of thy righteous judgments.

63 I am the companion of all that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.

64 The earth, O Jehovah, is full of thy loving-kindness: teach me thy statutes.

65 TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Jehovah, according to thy word.

66 Teach me good discernment and knowledge; for I have believed in thy commandments.

67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep thy word.

68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.

69 The proud have forged falsehood against me: I will observe thy precepts with [my] whole heart.

70 Their heart is as fat as grease: as for me, 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 YOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, and I will learn thy commandments.

74 They that fear thee will see me, and rejoice; because I have hoped in thy word.

75 I know, Jehovah, that thy Judgments are righteousness, and that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.

76 Oh let thy loving-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 have acted perversely towards me with falsehood: as for me, I meditate in thy precepts.

79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that know thy testimonies.

80 Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes, that I be not ashamed.

81 CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation; 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; I do not forget thy statutes.

84 How many shall be the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

85 The proud have digged pits for me, which is not according to thy law.

86 All thy commandments are faithfulness. They persecute me wrongfully: help thou me.

87 They had almost consumed me upon the earth; but as for me, I forsook not thy precepts.

88 Quicken me according to thy loving-kindness, and I will keep the testimony of thy mouth.
