Psalm 119
1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
[SUP]20 [/SUP]My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.
[SUP]21 [/SUP]Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.
[SUP]22 [/SUP]Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.
[SUP]23 [/SUP]Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.
[SUP]25 [/SUP]My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.
[SUP]26 [/SUP]I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.
[SUP]27 [/SUP]Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
[SUP]28 [/SUP]My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.
[SUP]29 [/SUP]Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.
[SUP]30 [/SUP]I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.
[SUP]31 [/SUP]I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O Lord, put me not to shame.
[SUP]32 [/SUP]I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
[SUP]33 [/SUP]Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.
[SUP]34 [/SUP]Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
[SUP]35 [/SUP]Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.
[SUP]36 [/SUP]Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
[SUP]37 [/SUP]Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.
[SUP]38 [/SUP]Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.
[SUP]39 [/SUP]Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.
[SUP]40 [/SUP]Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.
[SUP]41 [/SUP]Let thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord, even thy salvation, according to thy word.
[SUP]42 [/SUP]So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.
[SUP]43 [/SUP]And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.
[SUP]44 [/SUP]So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.
[SUP]45 [/SUP]And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
[SUP]46 [/SUP]I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.
[SUP]47 [/SUP]And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.
[SUP]48 [/SUP]My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.
[SUP]49 [/SUP]Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
[SUP]50 [/SUP]This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.
[SUP]51 [/SUP]The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law.
[SUP]52 [/SUP]I remembered thy judgments of old, O Lord; and have comforted myself.
[SUP]53 [/SUP]Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
[SUP]54 [/SUP]Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
[SUP]55 [/SUP]I have remembered thy name, O Lord, in the night, and have kept thy law.
[SUP]56 [/SUP]This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
[SUP]57 [/SUP]Thou art my portion, O Lord: I have said that I would keep thy words.
[SUP]58 [/SUP]I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.
[SUP]59 [/SUP]I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
[SUP]60 [/SUP]I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.
[SUP]61 [/SUP]The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.
[SUP]62 [/SUP]At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.
[SUP]63 [/SUP]I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
[SUP]64 [/SUP]The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
[SUP]65 [/SUP]Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Lord, according unto thy word.
[SUP]66 [/SUP]Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
[SUP]67 [/SUP]Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.
[SUP]68 [/SUP]Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
[SUP]69 [/SUP]The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
[SUP]70 [/SUP]Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.
[SUP]71 [/SUP]It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
[SUP]72 [/SUP]The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
[SUP]73 [/SUP]Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
[SUP]74 [/SUP]They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.
[SUP]75 [/SUP]I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
[SUP]76 [/SUP]Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
[SUP]77 [/SUP]Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
[SUP]78 [/SUP]Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
[SUP]79 [/SUP]Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.
[SUP]80 [/SUP]Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.
[SUP]81 [/SUP]My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
[SUP]82 [/SUP]Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
[SUP]83 [/SUP]For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.
[SUP]84 [/SUP]How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
[SUP]85 [/SUP]The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.
[SUP]86 [/SUP]All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
[SUP]87 [/SUP]They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
[SUP]88 [/SUP]Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
[SUP]89 [/SUP]For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.
[SUP]90 [/SUP]Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
[SUP]91 [/SUP]They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.
[SUP]92 [/SUP]Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
[SUP]93 [/SUP]I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.
[SUP]94 [/SUP]I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy precepts.
[SUP]95 [/SUP]The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.
[SUP]96 [/SUP]I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.
[SUP]97 [/SUP]O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
[SUP]98 [/SUP]Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
[SUP]99 [/SUP]I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.
[SUP]100 [/SUP]I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
[SUP]101 [/SUP]I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
[SUP]102 [/SUP]I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
[SUP]103 [/SUP]How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
[SUP]104 [/SUP]Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
[SUP]105 [/SUP]Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
[SUP]106 [/SUP]I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
[SUP]107 [/SUP]I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O Lord, according unto thy word.
[SUP]108 [/SUP]Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me thy judgments.
[SUP]109 [/SUP]My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.
[SUP]110 [/SUP]The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.
[SUP]111 [/SUP]Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
[SUP]112 [/SUP]I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end.
[SUP]113 [/SUP]I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.
[SUP]114 [/SUP]Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
[SUP]115 [/SUP]Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
[SUP]116 [/SUP]Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
[SUP]117 [/SUP]Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.
[SUP]118 [/SUP]Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.
[SUP]119 [/SUP]Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.
[SUP]120 [/SUP]My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
[SUP]121 [/SUP]I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.
[SUP]122 [/SUP]Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.
[SUP]123 [/SUP]Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.
[SUP]124 [/SUP]Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.
[SUP]125 [/SUP]I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.
[SUP]126 [/SUP]It is time for thee, Lord, to work: for they have made void thy law.
[SUP]127 [/SUP]Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.
[SUP]128 [/SUP]Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.
[SUP]129 [/SUP]Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
[SUP]130 [/SUP]The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
[SUP]131 [/SUP]I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
[SUP]132 [/SUP]Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
[SUP]133 [/SUP]Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
[SUP]134 [/SUP]Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
[SUP]135 [/SUP]Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
[SUP]136 [/SUP]Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.
[SUP]137 [/SUP]Righteous art thou, O Lord, and upright are thy judgments.
[SUP]138 [/SUP]Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.
[SUP]139 [/SUP]My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.
[SUP]140 [/SUP]Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
[SUP]141 [/SUP]I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.
[SUP]142 [/SUP]Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
[SUP]143 [/SUP]Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.
[SUP]144 [/SUP]The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.
[SUP]145 [/SUP]I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord: I will keep thy statutes.
[SUP]146 [/SUP]I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.
[SUP]147 [/SUP]I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.
[SUP]148 [/SUP]Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
[SUP]149 [/SUP]Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O Lord, quicken me according to thy judgment.
[SUP]150 [/SUP]They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
[SUP]151 [/SUP]Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy commandments are truth.
[SUP]152 [/SUP]Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
[SUP]153 [/SUP]Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.
[SUP]154 [/SUP]Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.
[SUP]155 [/SUP]Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
[SUP]156 [/SUP]Great are thy tender mercies, O Lord: quicken me according to thy judgments.
[SUP]157 [/SUP]Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies.
[SUP]158 [/SUP]I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.
[SUP]159 [/SUP]Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O Lord, according to thy lovingkindness.
[SUP]160 [/SUP]Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
[SUP]161 [/SUP]Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
[SUP]162 [/SUP]I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
[SUP]163 [/SUP]I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.
[SUP]164 [/SUP]Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.
[SUP]165 [/SUP]Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
[SUP]166 [/SUP]Lord, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.
[SUP]167 [/SUP]My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
[SUP]168 [/SUP]I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee.
[SUP]169 [/SUP]Let my cry come near before thee, O Lord: give me understanding according to thy word.
[SUP]170 [/SUP]Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word.
[SUP]171 [/SUP]My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.
[SUP]172 [/SUP]My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.
[SUP]173 [/SUP]Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.
[SUP]174 [/SUP]I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord; and thy law is my delight.
[SUP]175 [/SUP]Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.
[SUP]176 [/SUP]I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.
