Psalm 119

___Psalm 119 1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord. 2 Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. 3 They also don't sin, they walk in his ways. 4 You've commanded us to keep your precepts diligently. 5 O that my ways were directed to keep your statutes! 6 Then I won't be ashamed, when I have respect to all your commandments. 7 I'll praise you with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned your righteous judgments. 8 I'll keep your statutes, O don't completely forsake me. 9 How shall a young man cleanse his way? By giving heed to your word. 10 I've sought you with my whole heart, O don't let me wander from your commandments. 11 I've hidden your word in my heart so that I won't sin against you. 12 Blessed are you, O Lord, teach me your statutes. 13 I've declared with my lips all the judgments of your mouth. 14 I've rejoiced in the way of your testimonies, as much as in all riches. 15 I'll meditate in your precepts, and have respect to your ways. 16 I'll delight myself in your statutes, I won't forget your word. 17 Deal abundantly with your servant, so I can live, and keep your word. 18 Open my eyes so that I'll see wondrous things out of your law. 19 I'm a stranger in the earth, don't hide your commandments from me. 20 My soul breaks for the longing that it has to your judgments at all times. 21 You've reprimanded the proud that are cursed, who err from your commandments. 22 Remove reproach and contempt from me, for I've kept your testimonies. 23 Princes also sat and spoke against me, but your servant meditated in your statutes. 24 Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors. 25 My soul sticks to the dust, make me alive according to your word. 26 I've declared my ways, and you heard me, teach me your statutes. 27 Make me to understand the way of your precepts, so I shall talk of your wondrous works. 28 My soul melts for heaviness, strengthen me according to your word. 29 Remove the way of lying from me, and grant me your law graciously. 30 I've chosen the way of truth, I've laid your judgments before me. 31 I've stuck to your testimonies, O Lord, don't put me to shame. 32 I will run the way of your commandments, when you enlarge my heart. 33 Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes, and I'll keep it to the end. 34 Give me understanding, and I'll keep your law, yes, I'll observe it with my whole heart. 35 Make me to go in the path of your commandments, for in it I delight. 36 Incline my heart to your testimonies, and not to covetousness. 37 Turn my eyes away from seeing vanity, and make me alive in your way. 38 Establish your word to your servant, who is devoted to your fear. 39 Turn away my reproach that I fear, for your judgments are good. 40 See, I've longed after your precepts, make alive me in your righteousness. 41 Let your mercies come also to me, O Lord, your salvation, according to your word. 42 So I shall have what to answer to him that reproaches me, for I trust in your word. 43 And don't take the word of truth completely out of my mouth, for I've hoped in your judgments. 44 So I shall keep your law continually forever and always. 45 And I'll walk at liberty, for I seek your precepts. 46 I will speak of your testimonies also before kings, and won't be ashamed. 47 And I'll delight myself in your commandments that I've loved. 48 I will also lift up my hands to your commandments that I have loved, and I will meditate in your statutes. 49 Remember the word to your servant, on which you have caused me to hope. 50 This is my comfort in my affliction, for your word has made me alive. 51 The proud have had me greatly in derision, yet I haven't declined from your law. 52 I remembered your judgments of old, O Lord, and have comforted myself. 53 Horror has taken hold on me because of the wicked that forsake your law. 54 Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. 55 I've remembered your name, O Lord, in the night, and have kept your law. 56 This I had, because I kept your precepts. 57 You are my portion, O Lord, I've said that I would keep your words. 58 I entreated your favor with my whole heart, be merciful to me according to your word. 59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet to your testimonies. 60 I made haste, and didn't delay to keep your commandments. 61 The gangs of the wicked have robbed me, but I haven't forgotten your law. 62 At midnight I'll rise to give thanks to you because of your righteous judgments. 63 I'm a companion of all of those who fear you, and of those who keep your precepts. 64 The earth, O Lord, is full of your mercy, teach me your statutes. 65 You've dealt well with your servant, O Lord, according to your word. 66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I've believed your commandments. 67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I've kept your word. 68 You are good, and do good, teach me your statutes. 69 The proud have forged a lie against me, but I'll keep your precepts with my whole heart. 70 Their heart is as fat as grease, but I delight in your law. 71 It is good for me that I've been afflicted, so that I would learn your statutes. 72 The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver. 73 Your hands have made me and fashioned me, give me understanding, so I will learn your commandments. 74 Those who fear you will be glad when they see me, because I've hoped in your word. 75 I know, O Lord, that your judgments are right, and that you in faithfulness have afflicted me. 76 Please let your merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to your word to your servant. 77 Let your tender mercies come to me, so I'll live, for your law is my delight. 78 Let the proud be ashamed, for they dealt perversely with me without a reason, but I will meditate in your precepts. 79 Let those that fear you turn to me, and those that have known your testimonies. 80 Let my heart be sound in your statutes, so I'm not ashamed. 81 My soul faints for your salvation, but I hope in your word. 82 My eyes fail for your word, saying, when will you comfort me? 83 For I've become like a bottle in the smoke, yet I don't forget your statutes. 84 How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute judgment on those who persecute me? 85 The proud have dug pits for me, which are not according to your law. 86 All your commandments are faithful, they persecute me wrongfully, help me. 87 They almost consumed me on earth, but I didn't forsake your precepts. 88 Make me alive according to your loving kindness, so I'll keep the testimony of your mouth. 89 Forever, O Lord, your word is settled in heaven. 90 Your faithfulness is to all generations, you've established the earth, and it remains. 91 They continue this day according to your ordinances, for all are your servants. 92 Unless your law had been my delight, I would then have perished in my affliction. 93 I'll never forget your precepts, for with them you've made me alive. 94 I am yours, save me, for I've sought your precepts. 95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me, but I will consider your testimonies. 96 I've seen an end of all perfection, but your commandment is very broad. 97 O how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day. 98 You, through your commandments have made me wiser than my enemies, for they are always with me. 99 I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your testimonies are my meditation. 100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep your precepts. 101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, so that I would keep your word. 102 I haven't departed from your judgments, for you've taught me. 103 How sweet are your words to my taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth! 104 Through your precepts I get understanding, therefore I hate every false way. 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. 106 I've sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep your righteous judgments. 107 I am afflicted very much, make alive me, O Lord, according to your word. 108 Please accept the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me your judgments. 109 My soul is continually in my hand, yet I don't forget your law. 110 The wicked have laid a trap for me, yet I didn't err from your precepts. 111 I've taken your testimonies as a heritage forever, for they are the rejoicing of my heart. 112 I have inclined my heart to perform your statutes always, even to the end. 113 I hate vain thoughts, but I love your law. 114 You are my hiding place and my shield, I hope in your word. 115 Depart from me, you evildoers, for I will keep the commandments of my God. 116 Uphold me according to your word, so I'll live, and don't let me be ashamed of my hope. 117 Hold me up, and I shall be safe, and I'll have respect to your statutes continually. 118 You've walked on all those who err from your statutes, for their deceit is falsehood. 119 You put away all the wicked of the earth like dross, therefore I love your testimonies. 120 My flesh trembles for fear of you, and I'm afraid of your judgments. 121 I've done judgment and justice, don't leave me to my oppressors. 122 Be surety for your servant for good, don't let the proud oppress me. 123 My eyes fail for your salvation, and for the word of your righteousness. 124 Deal with your servant according to your mercy, and teach me your statutes. 125 I am your servant, give me understanding, so I will know your testimonies. 126 It is time for you, Lord, to work, for they've made void your law. 127 Therefore I love your commandments more than gold, yes, more than fine gold. 128 Therefore I view all your precepts concerning all things to be right, and I hate every false way. 129 Your testimonies are wonderful, therefore my soul keeps them. 130 The entrance of your word gives light, it gives understanding to the simple. 131 I opened my mouth, and panted, for I longed for your commandments. 132 Look at me, and be merciful to me, as you used to do to those that love your name. 133 Order my steps in your word, and don't let any sin have dominion over me. 134 Deliver me from the oppression of man, so I will keep your precepts. 135 Make your face shine on your servant, and teach me your statutes. 136 Rivers of waters run down my eyes, because they don't keep your law. 137 Righteous are you, O Lord, and upright are your judgments. 138 Your testimonies that you have commanded are righteous and very faithful. 139 My zeal has consumed me, because my enemies have forgotten your words. 140 Your word is very pure, therefore your servant loves it. 141 I am small and despised, yet I don't forget your precepts. 142 Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and your law is the truth. 143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me, yet your commandments are my delight. 144 The righteousness of your testimonies is everlasting, give me understanding, and I'll live. 145 I called with my whole heart, hear me, O Lord, I'll keep your statutes. 146 I called to you, save me, and I'll keep your testimonies. 147 I got up before the dawning of the morning, and called, I hoped in your word. 148 My eyes go before the night watches, so I can meditate on your word. 149 Hear my voice according to your loving kindness, O Lord, make me alive according to your judgment. 150 They draw near who follow after mischief, they are far from your law. 151 You are near, O Lord, and all your commandments are truth. 152 Concerning your testimonies, I have known of old that you have founded them forever. 153 Consider my affliction, and deliver me, for I do not forget your law. 154 Plead my cause, and deliver me, make me alive according to your word. 155 Salvation is far from the wicked, for they don't seek your statutes. 156 Great are your tender mercies, O Lord, make me alive according to your judgments. 157 My persecutors and my enemies are many, yet I don't decline from your testimonies. 158 I saw the transgressors, and was grieved, because they didn't keep your word. 159 Consider how I love your precepts, make alive me, O Lord, according to your loving kindness. 160 Your word is true from the beginning, and every one of your righteous judgments endures forever. 161 Princes have persecuted me without a reason, but my heart stands in awe of your word. 162 I rejoice at your word, like someone who finds great treasure. 163 I hate and abhor lying, but I love your law. 164 I praise you seven times a day because of your righteous judgments. 165 Those who love your law have great peace, and nothing shall offend them. 166 Lord, I've hoped for your salvation, and done your commandments. 167 My soul has kept your testimonies, and I love them very much. 168 I have kept your precepts and your testimonies, for all my ways are before you. 169 Let my cry come near before you, O Lord, give me understanding according to your word. 170 Let my prayer come before you, deliver me according to your word. 171 My lips shall speak praise, when you've taught me your statutes. 172 My tongue shall speak of your word, for all your commandments are righteousness. 173 Let your hand help me, for I've chosen your precepts. 174 I've longed for your salvation, O Lord, and your law is my delight. 175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise you, and let your judgments help me. 176 I've gone astray like a lost sheep, seek your servant, for I don't forget your commandments.
