119:1  [ALEPH] Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.
119:2  Blessed are they who search his testimonies: that seek him with their whole heart.
119:3  For they that work iniquity, have not walked in his ways.
119:4  Thou hast commanded thy commandments to be kept most diligently.
119:5  O! that my ways may be directed to keep thy justifications.
119:6  Then shall I not be confounded, when I shall look into all thy commandments.
119:7  I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned the judgments of thy justice.
119:8  I will keep thy justifications: O! do not thou utterly forsake me.
119:9  [BETH] By what doth a young man correct his way? by observing thy words.
119:10  With my whole heart have I sought after thee: let me not stray from thy commandments.
119:11  Thy words have I hidden in my heart, that I may not sin against thee.
119:12  Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy justifications.
119:13  With my lips I have pronounced all the judgments of thy mouth.
119:14  I have been delighted in the way of thy testimonies, as in all riches.
119:15  I will meditate on thy commandments: and I will consider thy ways.
119:16  I will think of thy justifications: I will not forget thy words.
119:17  [GIMEL] Give bountifully to thy servant, enliven me: and I shall keep thy words.
119:18  Open thou my eyes: and I will consider the wondrous things of thy law.
119:19  I am a sojourner on the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
119:20  My soul hath coveted to long for thy justifications, at all times.
119:21  Thou hast rebuked the proud: they are cursed who decline from thy commandments.
119:22  Remove from reproach and contempt: because I have sought after thy testimonies.
119:23  For princes sat, and spoke against me: but thy servant was employed in thy justifications.
119:24  For thy testimonies are my meditation: and thy justifications my counsel.
119:25  [DALETH] My soul hath cleaved to the pavement: quicken thou me according to thy word.
119:26  I have declared my ways, and thou hast heard me: tech me thy justifications.
119:27  Make me to understand the way of thy justifications: and I shall be exercised in thy wondrous works.
119:28  My soul hath slumbered through heaviness: strengthen thou me in thy words.
119:29  Remove from me the way of iniquity: and out of thy law have mercy on me.
119:30  I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments I have not forgotten.
119:31  I have stuck to thy testimonies, O Lord: put me not to shame.
119:32  I have run the way of thy commandments, when thou didst enlarge my heart.
119:33  [HE] Set before me for a law the way of thy justifications, O Lord: and I will always seek after it.
119:34  Give me understanding, and I will search thy law ; and I will keep it with my whole heart.
119:35  Lead me into the path of thy commandments; for this same I have desired.
119:36  Incline my heart into thy testimonies and not to covetousness.
119:37  Turn away my eyes that they may not behold vanity: quicken me in thy way.
119:38  Establish thy word to thy servant, in thy fear.
119:39  Turn away my reproach, which I have apprehended: for thy judgments are delightful.
119:40  Behold I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy justice.
119:41  [VAU] Let thy mercy also come upon me, O Lord: thy salvation according to thy word.
119:42  So shall I answer them that reproach me in any thing; that I have trusted in thy words.
119:43  And take not thou the word of truth utterly out of my mouth: for in thy words have I hoped exceedingly.
119:44  So shall I always keep thy law, for ever and ever.
119:45  And I walked at large: because I have sought after thy commandments.
119:46  And I spoke of thy testimonies before kings: and I was not ashamed.
119:47  I meditated also on thy commandments, which I loved.
119:48  And I lifted up my hands to thy commandments, which I loved: and I was exercised in thy justifications.
119:49  [ZAIN] Be thou mindful of thy word to thy servant, in which thou hast given me hope.
119:50  This hath comforted me in my humiliation: because thy word hath enlivened me.
119:51  The proud did iniquitously altogether: but I declined not from thy law.
119:52  I remembered, O Lord, thy judgments of old: and I was comforted.
119:53  A fainting hath taken hold of me, because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
119:54  Thy justifications were the subject of my song, in the place of my pilgrimage.
119:55  In the night I have remembered thy name, O Lord: and have kept thy law.
119:56  This happened to me: because I sought after thy justifications.
119:57  [HETH] O Lord, my portion, I have said, I would keep the law.
119:58  I entreated thy face with all my heart: have mercy on me according to thy word.
119:59  I have thought on my ways: and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
119:60  I am ready, and am not troubled: that I may keep thy commandments.
119:61  The cords of the wicked have encompassed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.
119:62  I rose at midnight to give praise to thee; for the judgments of thy justification.
119:63  I am a partaker with all them that fear thee, and that keep thy commandments.
119:64  The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy justifications.
119:65  [TETH] Thou hast done well with thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word.
119:66  Teach me goodness and discipline and knowledge; for I have believed thy commandments.
119:67  Before I was humbled I offended; therefore have I kept thy word.
119:68  Thou art good; and in thy goodness teach me thy justifications.
119:69  The iniquity of the proud hath been multiplied over me: but I will seek thy commandments with my whole heart.
119:70  Their heart is curdled like milk: but I have meditated on thy law.
119:71  It is good for me that thou hast humbled me, that I may learn thy justifications.
119:72  The law of thy mouth is good to me, above thousands of gold and silver.
119:73  [JOD] Thy hands have made me and formed me: give me understanding, and I will learn thy commandments.
119:74  They that fear thee shall see me, and shall be glad: because I have greatly hoped in thy words.
119:75  I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are equity: and in thy truth thou hast humbled me.
119:76  O! let thy mercy be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
119:77  Let thy tender mercies come unto me, and I shall live: for thy law is my meditation.
119:78  Let the proud be ashamed, because they have done unjustly towards me: but I will be employed in thy commandments.
119:79  Let them that fear thee turn to me and they that know thy testimonies.
119:80  Let my heart be undefiled in thy justifications, that I may not be confounded.
119:81  [CAPH] My soul hath fainted after thy salvation: and in thy word I have very much hoped.
119:82  My eyes have failed for thy word, saying: When wilt thou comfort me?
119:83  For I am become like a bottle in the frost: I have not forgotten thy justifications.
119:84  How many are the days of thy servant: when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
119:85  The wicked have told me fables: but not as thy law.
119:86  All thy statutes are truth: they have persecuted me unjustly, do thou help me.
119:87  They had almost made an end of me upon earth: but I have not forsaken thy commandments.
119:88  Quicken thou me according to thy mercy: and I shall keep the testimonies of thy mouth.
119:89  [LAMED] For ever, O Lord, thy word standeth firm in heaven.
119:90  Thy truth unto all generations: thou hast founded the earth, and it continueth.
119:91  By thy ordinance the day goeth on: for all things serve thee.
119:92  Unless thy law had been my meditation, I had then perhaps perished in my abjection.
119:93  Thy justifications I will never forget: for by them thou hast given me life.
119:94  I am thine, save thou me: for I have sought thy justifications.
119:95  The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I have understood thy testimonies.
119:96  I have seen an end to all persecution: thy commandment is exceeding broad.
119:97  [MEM] O how have I loved thy law, O Lord! it is my meditation all the day.
119:98  Through thy commandment, thou hast made me wiser than my enemies: for it is ever with me.
119:99  I have understood more than all my teachers: because thy testimonies are my meditation.
119:100  I have had understanding above ancients: because I have sought thy commandments.
119:101  I have restrained my feet from every evil way: that I may keep thy words.
119:102  I have not declined from thy judgments, because thou hast set me a law.
119:103  How sweet are thy words to my palate! more than honey to my mouth.
119:104  By thy commandments I have had understanding: therefore have I hated every way of iniquity.
119:105  [NUN] Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths.
119:106  I have sworn and am determined to keep the judgments of thy justice.
119:107  I have been humbled, O Lord, exceedingly: quicken thou me according to thy word.
119:108  The free offerings of my mouth make acceptable, O Lord: and teach me thy judgments.
119:109  My soul is continually in my hands: and I have not forgotten thy law.
119:110  Sinners have laid a snare for me: but I have not erred from thy precepts.
119:111  I have purchased thy testimonies for an inheritance for ever: because they are a joy to my heart.
119:112  I have inclined my heart to do thy justifications for ever, for the reward.
119:113  [SAMECH] I have hated the unjust: and have loved thy law.
119:114  Thou art my helper and my protector: and in thy word I have greatly hoped.
119:115  Depart from me, ye malignant: and I will search the commandments of my God.
119:116  Uphold me according to thy word, and I shall live: and let me not be confounded in my expectation.
119:117  Help me, and I shall be saved: and I will meditate always on thy justifications.
119:118  Thou hast despised all them that fall off from thy judgments; for their thought is unjust.
119:119  I have accounted all the sinners of the earth prevaricators: therefore have I loved thy testimonies.
119:120  Pierce thou my flesh with thy fear: for I am afraid of thy judgments.
119:121  [AIN] I have done judgment and justice: give me not up to them that slander me.
119:122  Uphold thy servant unto good: let not the proud calumniate me.
119:123  My eyes have fainted after thy salvation: and for the word of thy justice.
119:124  Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy: and teach me thy justifications.
119:125  I am thy servant: give me understanding that I may know thy testimonies.
119:126  It is time, O Lord, to do: they have dissipated thy law.
119:127  Therefore have I loved thy commandments above gold and the topaz.
119:128  Therefore was I directed to all thy commandments: I have hated all wicked ways.
119:129  [PHE] Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore my soul hath sought them.
119:130  The declaration of thy words giveth light: and giveth understanding to little ones.
119:131  I opened my mouth and panted: because I longed for thy commandments.
119:132  Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me, according to the judgment of them that love thy name.
119:133  Direct my steps according to thy word: and let no iniquity have dominion over me.
119:134  Redeem me from the calumnies of men: that I may keep thy commandments.
119:135  Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: and teach me thy justifications.
119:136  My eyes have sent forth springs of water: because they have not kept thy law.
119:137  [SADE] Thou art just, O Lord: and thy judgment is right.
119:138  Thou hast commanded justice thy testimonies: and thy truth exceedingly.
119:139  My zeal hath made me pine away: because my enemies forgot thy words.
119:140  Thy word is exceedingly refined: and thy servant hath loved it.
119:141  I am very young and despised; but I forgot not thy justifications.
119:142  Thy justice is justice for ever: and thy law is the truth.
119:143  Trouble and anguish have found me: thy commandments are my meditation.
119:144  Thy testimonies are justice for ever: give me understanding, and I shall live.
119:145  [COPH] I cried with my whole heart, hear me, O Lord: I will seek thy justifications.
119:146  I cried unto thee, save me: that I may keep thy commandments.
119:147  I prevented the dawning of the day, and cried: because in thy words I very much hoped.
119:148  My eyes to thee have prevented the morning: that I might meditate on thy words.
119:149  Hear thou my voice, O Lord, according to thy mercy: and quicken me according to thy mercy.
119:150  They that persecute me have drawn nigh to iniquity; but they are gone far off from the law.
119:151  Thou art near, O Lord: and all thy ways are truth.
119:152  I have known from the beginning concerning thy testimonies: that thou hast founded them for ever.
119:153  [RES] See my humiliation and deliver me: for I have not forgotten the law.
119:154  Judge my judgment and redeem me: quicken thou me for thy word's sake.
119:155  Salvation is far from sinners; because they have not sought thy justifications.
119:156  Many, O Lord, are thy mercies: quicken me according to thy judgment.
119:157  Many are they that persecute me, and afflict me; but I have not declined from thy testimonies.
119:158  I beheld the transgressors, and I pined away; because they kept not thy word.
119:159  Behold I have loved thy commandments, O Lord; quicken me thou in thy mercy.
119:160  The beginning of thy words is truth: all the judgments of thy justice are for ever.
119:161  [SIN] Princes have persecuted me without cause: and my heart hath been in awe of thy words.
119:162  I will rejoice at thy words, as one that hath found great spoil.
119:163  I have hated and abhorred iniquity; but I have loved thy law.
119:164  Seven times a day I have given praise to thee, for the judgments of thy justice.
119:165  Much peace have they that love thy law, and to them there is no stumbling block

119:168  I have kept thy commandments and thy testimonies: because all my ways are in thy sight.
119:169  [TAU] Let my supplication, O Lord, come near in thy sight: give me understanding according to thy word.
119:170  Let my request come in before thee; deliver thou me according to thy word.
119:171  My lips shall utter a hymn, when thou shalt teach me thy justifications.
