PSALM 119
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
Aleph, The 1st Part.
1Blessed are they that undefil'd,
and straight are in the way;
Who in the Lord's most holy law do walk,
and do not stray.
2Blessed are they who to observe
his statutes are inclin'd;
And who do seek the living God
with their whole heart and mind.
3Such in his ways do walk,
and they do no iniquity.
4Thou hast commanded us to keep
thy precepts carefully.
5O that thy statutes to observe
thou would'st my ways direct!
6Then shall I not be sham'd, when I
thy precepts all respect.
7Then with integrity of heart
thee will I praise and bless,
When I the judgments all have learn'd
of thy pure righteousness.
8That I will keep thy statutes all
firmly resolv'd have I:
O do not then, most gracious God,
forsake me utterly.
Beth, The 2nd Part.
9By what means shall a young man learn
his way to purify?
If he according to thy word
thereto attentive be.
10Unfeignedly thee have I sought
with all my soul and heart:
O let me not from the right path
of thy commands depart.
11Thy word I in my heart have hid,
that I offend not thee.
12O Lord, thou ever blessed art,
thy statutes teach thou me.
13The judgments of thy mouth each one
my lips declared have:
14More joy thy testimonies' way
than riches all me gave.
15I will thy holy precepts make
my meditation;
And carefully I'll have respect
unto thy ways each one.
16Upon thy statutes my delight
shall constantly be set:
And, by thy grace, I never will
thy holy word forget.
Gimel, The 3rd Part.
17With me thy servant, in thy grace,
deal bountifully, Lord:
That by thy favor I may live,
and duly keep thy word.
18Open mine eyes, that of thy law
the wonders I may see.
19I am a stranger on this earth,
hide not thy laws from me.
20My soul within me breaks,
and doth much fainting still endure,
Through longing that it hath all times
unto thy judgments pure.
21Thou hast rebuk'd the cursed proud,
who from thy precepts swerve.
22Reproach and shame remove from me,
for I thy laws observe.
23Against me princes spake with spite,
while they in council sat:
But I thy servant did upon
thy statutes meditate.
24My comfort, and my heart's delight,
thy testimonies be;
And they, in all my doubts and fears,
are counsellors to me.
Daleth, The 4th Part.
25My soul to dust cleaves: quicken me,
according to thy word.
26My ways I shew'd, and me thou heard'st:
teach me thy statutes, Lord.
27The way of thy commandements
make me aright to know;
So all thy works that wondrous are
I shall to others show.
28My soul doth melt, and drop away,
for heaviness and grief:
To me, according to thy word,
give strength, and send relief.
29From me the wicked way of lies
let far removed be;
And graciously thy holy law
do thou grant unto me.
30I chosen have the perfect way
of truth and verity:
Thy judgments that most righteous are
before me laid have I.
31I to thy testimonies cleave;
shame do not on me cast.
32I'll run thy precepts' way, when thou
my heart enlarged hast.
He, The 5th Part.
33Teach me, O Lord, the perfect way
of thy precepts divine,
And to observe it to the end
I shall my heart incline.
34Give understanding unto me,
so keep thy law shall I;
Yea, ev'n with my whole heart I shall
observe it carefully.
35In thy law's path make me to go;
for I delight therein.
36My heart unto thy testimonies,
and not to greed, incline.
37Turn thou away my sight and eyes
from viewing vanity;
And in thy good and holy way
be pleas'd to quicken me.
38Confirm to me thy gracious word,
which I did gladly hear,
Ev'n to thy servant, Lord, who is
devoted to thy fear.
39Turn thou away my fear'd reproach;
for good thy judgments be.
40Lo, for thy precepts I have long'd;
in thy truth quicken me.
Vau, The 6th Part.
41Let thy sweet mercies also come
and visit me, O Lord;
Ev'n thy benign salvation,
according to thy word.
42So shall I have wherewith I may
give him an answer just,
Who spitefully reproacheth me;
for in thy word I trust.
43The word of truth out of my mouth
take thou not utterly;
For on thy judgments righteous
my hope doth still rely.
44So shall I keep for evermore
thy law continually.
45And, sith that I thy precepts seek,
I'll walk at liberty.
46I'll speak thy word to kings,
and I with shame shall not be mov'd;
47And will delight myself always
in thy laws, which I lov'd.
48To thy commandments, which I lov'd,
my hands lift up I will;
And I will also meditate
upon thy statutes still.
Zain, The 7th Part.
49Remember, Lord, thy gracious word
thou to thy servant spake,
Which, for a ground of my sure hope,
thou causedst me to take.
50This word of thine my comfort is
in mine affliction:
For in my straits I am reviv'd
by this thy word alone.
51The men whose hearts with pride are stuff'd
did greatly me deride;
Yet from thy straight commandements
I have not turn'd aside.
52Thy judgments righteous, O Lord,
which thou of old forth gave,
I did remember, and myself
by them comforted have.
53Horror took hold on me, because
ill men thy law forsake.
54I in my house of pilgrimage
thy laws my songs do make.
55Thy name by night, Lord, I did mind,
and I have kept thy law.
56And this I had, because thy word
I kept, and stood in awe.
Cheth, The 8th Part.
57Thou my sure portion art alone,
which I did chuse, O Lord:
I have resolv'd, and said, that I
would keep thy holy word.
58With my whole heart I did entreat
thy face and favour free:
According to thy gracious word
be merciful to me.
59I thought upon my former ways,
and did my life well try;
And to thy testimonies pure
my feet then turned I.
60I did not stay, nor linger long,
as those that slothful are;
But hastily thy laws to keep
myself I did prepare.
61Bands of ill men me robb'd; yet I
thy precepts did not slight.
62I'll rise at midnight thee to praise,
ev'n for thy judgments right.
63I am companion to all those
who fear, and thee obey.
64O Lord, thy mercy fills the earth:
teach me thy laws, I pray.
Teth, The 9th Part.
65Well hast thou with thy servant dealt,
as thou didst promise give.
66Good judgment me, and knowledge teach,
for I thy word believe.
67Ere I afflicted was I stray'd;
but now I keep thy word.
68Both good thou art, and good thou do'st:
teach me thy statutes, Lord.
69The men that are puff 'd up with pride
against me forg'd a lie;
Yet thy commandements observe
with my whole heart will I.
70Their hearts, through worldly ease and wealth,
as fat as grease they be:
But in thy holy law I take
delight continually.
71It hath been very good for me
that I afflicted was,
That I might well instructed be,
and learn thy holy laws.
72The word that cometh from thy mouth
is better unto me
Than many thousands and great sums
of gold and silver be.
Jod, The 10th Part.
73Thou mad'st and fashion'dst me: thy laws
to know give wisdom, Lord.
74So who thee fear shall joy to see
me trusting in thy word.
75That very right thy judgments are
I know, and do confess;
And that thou hast afflicted me
in truth and faithfulness.
76O let thy kindness merciful,
I pray thee, comfort me,
As to thy servant faithfully
was promised by thee.
77And let thy tender mercies come
to me, that I may live;
Because thy holy laws to me
sweet delectation give.
78Lord, let the proud ashamed be;
for they, without a cause,
With me perversely dealt: but I
will muse upon thy laws.
79Let such as fear thee, and have known
thy statutes, turn to me.
80My heart let in thy laws be sound,
that sham'd I never be.
Caph, The 11th Part.
81My soul for thy salvation faints;
yet I thy word believe.
82Mine eyes fail for thy word: I say,
When wilt thou comfort give?
83For like a bottle I'm become,
that in the smoke is set:
I'm black, and parch'd with grief; yet I
thy statutes not forget.
84How many are thy servant's days?
when wilt thou execute
Just judgment on these wicked men
that do me persecute?
85The proud have digged pits for me,
which is against thy laws.
86Thy words all faithful are: help me,
pursu'd without a cause.
87They so consum'd me, that on earth
my life they scarce did leave:
Thy precepts yet forsook I not,
but close to them did cleave.
88After thy loving-kindness, Lord,
me quicken, and preserve:
The testimony of thy mouth
so shall I still observe.
Lamed, The 12th Part.
89Thy word for ever is, O Lord,
in heaven settled fast;
90Unto all generations
thy faithfulness doth last:
The earth thou hast established,
and it abides by thee.
91This day they stand as thou ordain'dst;
for all thy servants be.
92Unless in thy most perfect law
my soul delights had found,
I should have perished, when as
my troubles did abound.
93Thy precepts I will ne'er forget;
they quick'ning to me brought.
94Lord, I am thine; O save thou me:
thy precepts I have sought.
95For me the wicked have laid wait,
me seeking to destroy:
But I thy testimonies true
consider will with joy.
96An end of all perfection
here have I seen, O God:
But as for thy commandement,
it is exceeding broad.
Mem, The 13th Part.
97O how love I thy law! it is
my study all the day:
98It makes me wiser than my foes;
for it doth with me stay.
99Than all my teachers now I have
more understanding far;
Because my meditation
thy testimonies are.
100In understanding I excel
those that are ancients;
For I endeavoured to keep
all thy commandements.
101My feet from each ill way I stay'd,
that I may keep thy word.
102I from thy judgments have not swerv'd;
for thou hast taught me, Lord.
103How sweet unto my taste, O Lord,
are all thy words of truth!
Yea, I do find them sweeter far
than honey to my mouth.
104I through thy precepts, that are pure,
do understanding get;
I therefore ev'ry way that's false
with all my heart do hate.
Nun, The 14th Part.
105Thy word is to my feet a lamp,
and to my path a light.
106I sworn have, and I will perform,
to keep thy judgments right.
107I am with sore affliction
ev'n overwhelm'd, O Lord:
In mercy raise and quicken me,
according to thy word.
108The free-will-off 'rings of my mouth
accept, I thee beseech:
And unto me thy servant, Lord,
thy judgments clearly teach.
109Though still my soul be in my hand,
thy laws I'll not forget.
110I err'd not from them, though for me
the wicked snares did set.
111I of thy testimonies have
above all things made choice,
To be my heritage for aye;
for they my heart rejoice.
112I carefully inclined have
my heart still to attend;
That I thy statutes may perform
alway unto the end.
Samech, The 15th Part.
113I hate the thoughts of vanity,
but love thy law do I.
114My shield and hiding-place thou art:
I on thy word rely.
115All ye that evil-doers are
from me depart away;
For the commandments of my God
I purpose to obey.
116According to thy faithful word
uphold and stablish me,
That I may live, and of my hope
ashamed never be.
117Hold thou me up, so shall I be
in peace and safety still;
And to thy statutes have respect
continually I will.
118Thou tread'st down all that love to stray;
false their deceit doth prove.
119Lewd men, like dross, away thou putt'st;
therefore thy law I love.
120For fear of thee my very flesh
doth tremble, all dismay'd;
And of thy righteous judgments, Lord,
my soul is much afraid.
Ain, The 16th Part.
121To all men I have judgment done,
performing justice right;
Then let me not be left unto my fierce oppressors' might.
122For good unto thy servant, Lord,
thy servant's surety be:
From the oppression of the proud
do thou deliver me.
123Mine eyes do fail with looking long
for thy salvation,
The word of thy pure righteousness
while I do wait upon.
124In mercy with thy servant deal,
thy laws me teach and show.
125I am thy servant, wisdom give,
that I thy laws may know.
126'Tis time thou work, Lord; for they have
made void thy law divine.
127Therefore thy precepts more I love
than gold, yea, gold most fine.
128Concerning all things thy commands
all right I judge therefore;
And ev'ry false and wicked way
I perfectly abhor.
Pe, The 17th Part.
129Thy statutes, Lord, are wonderful,
my soul them keeps with care.
130The entrance of thy words gives light,
makes wise who simple are.
131My mouth I have wide opened,
and panted earnestly,
While after thy commandements
I long'd exceedingly.
132Look on me, Lord, and merciful
do thou unto me prove,
As thou art wont to do to those thy name who truly love.
133O let my footsteps in thy word
aright still order'd be:
Let no iniquity obtain
dominion over me.
134From man's oppression save thou me;
so keep thy laws I will.
135Thy face make on thy servant shine;
teach me thy statutes still.
136Rivers of waters from mine eyes
did run down, when I saw
How wicked men run on in sin,
and do not keep thy law.
Tzaddi, The 18th Part.
137O Lord, thou art most righteous;
thy judgments are upright.
138Thy testimonies thou command'st
most faithful are and right.
139My zeal hath ev'n consumed me,
because mine enemies
Thy holy words forgotten have,
and do thy laws despise.
140Thy word's most pure, therefore on it
thy servant's love is set.
141Small, and despis'd I am, yet I
thy precepts not forget.
142Thy righteousness is righteousness
which ever doth endure:
Thy holy law, Lord, also is
the very truth most pure.
143Trouble and anguish have me found,
and taken hold on me:
Yet in my trouble my delight
thy just commandments be.
144Eternal righteousness is in
thy testimonies all:
Lord, to me understanding give,
and ever live I shall.
Koph, The 19th Part.
145With my whole heart I cry'd, Lord, hear;
I will thy word obey.
146I cry'd to thee; save me, and I
will keep thy laws alway.
147I of the morning did prevent
the dawning, and did cry:
For all mine expectation
did on thy word rely.
148Mine eyes did timeously prevent
the watches of the night,
That in thy word with careful mind
then meditate I might.
149After thy loving-kindness hear
my voice, that calls on thee:
According to thy judgment, Lord,
revive and quicken me.
150Who follow mischief they draw nigh;
they from thy law are far:
151But thou art near, Lord; most firm truth
all thy commandments are.
152As for thy testimonies all,
of old this have I try'd,
That thou hast surely founded them
for ever to abide.
Resh, The 20th Part.
153Consider mine affliction,
in safety do me set:
Deliver me, O Lord, for I
thy law do not forget.
154After thy word revive thou me: save me,
and plead my cause.
155Salvation is from sinners far;
for they seek not thy laws.
156O Lord, both great and manifold
thy tender mercies be:
According to thy judgments just,
revive and quicken me.
157My persecutors many are,
and foes that do combine;
Yet from thy testimonies pure
my heart doth not decline.
158I saw transgressors, and was griev'd;
for they keep not thy word.
159See how I love thy law! as thou
art kind, me quicken, Lord.
160From the beginning all thy word
hath been most true and sure:
Thy righteous judgments ev'ry one
for evermore endure.
Schin, The 21st Part.
161Princes have persecuted me,
although no cause they saw:
But still of thy most holy word
my heart doth stand in awe.
162I at thy word rejoice, as one
of spoil that finds great store.
163Thy law I love; but lying all
I hate and do abhor.
164Sev'n times a-day it is my care
to give due praise to thee;
Because of all thy judgments, Lord,
which righteous ever be.
165Great peace have they who love thy law;
offence they shall have none.
166I hop'd for thy salvation, Lord,
and thy commands have done.
167My soul thy testimonies pure
observed carefully;
On them my heart is set, and them
I love exceedingly.
168Thy testimonies and thy laws
I kept with special care;
For all my works and ways each one
before thee open are.
Tau, The 22nd Part.
169O let my earnest pray'r and cry
come near before thee, Lord:
Give understanding unto me,
according to thy word.
170Let my request before thee come:
after thy word me free.
171My lips shall utter praise, when thou
hast taught thy laws to me.
172My tongue of thy most blessed word
shall speak, and it confess;
Because all thy commandements
are perfect righteousness.
173Let thy strong hand make help to me:
thy precepts are my choice.
174I long'd for thy salvation, Lord,
and in thy law rejoice.
175O let my soul live, and it shall
give praises unto thee;
And let thy judgments gracious
be helpful unto me.
176I, like a lost sheep, went astray;
thy servant seek, and find:
For thy commands I suffer'd not
to slip out of my mind.

1ALEPH. Blessed are those that are vpright in their way, and walke in the Lawe of the Lord. 2Blessed are they that keepe his testimonies, and seeke him with their whole heart. 3Surely they woorke none iniquitie, but walke in his waies. 4Thou hast commanded to keepe thy precepts diligently. 5Oh that my waies were directed to keepe thy statutes! 6Then should I not be confounded, when I haue respect vnto all thy commandements. 7I will praise thee with an vpright heart, when I shall learne the iudgements of thy righteousnesse. 8I will keepe thy statutes: forsake mee not ouerlong. 9BETH. Wherewith shall a yong man redresse his waie? in taking heede thereto according to thy woorde. 10With my whole heart haue I sought thee: let me not wander from thy commandements. 11I haue hid thy promise in mine heart, that I might not sinne against thee. 12Blessed art thou, O Lord: teache mee thy statutes. 13With my lippes haue I declared all the iudgements of thy mouth. 14I haue had as great delight in the way of thy testimonies, as in all riches. 15I will meditate in thy precepts, and consider thy waies. 16I will delite in thy statutes, and I will not forget thy worde. 17GIMEL. Be beneficiall vnto thy seruant, that I may liue and keepe thy woorde. 18Open mine eies, that I may see the wonders of thy Lawe. 19I am a stranger vpon earth: hide not thy commandements from me. 20Mine heart breaketh for the desire to thy iudgements alway. 21Thou hast destroied the proud: cursed are they that doe erre from thy commandements. 22Remoue from mee shame and contempt: for I haue kept thy testimonies. 23Princes also did sit, and speake against me: but thy seruant did meditate in thy statutes. 24Also thy testimonies are my delite, and my counsellers. 25DALETH. My soule cleaueth to the dust: quicken me according to thy worde. 26I haue declared my waies, and thou heardest me: teache me thy statutes. 27Make me to vnderstand ye way of thy precepts, and I will meditate in thy wondrous workes. 28My soule melteth for heauinesse: raise mee vp according vnto thy worde. 29Take from mee the way of lying, and graunt me graciously thy Lawe. 30I haue chosen the way of trueth, and thy iudgements haue I laied before me. 31I haue cleaued to thy testimonies, O Lord: confound me not. 32I will runne the way of thy commandements, when thou shalt enlarge mine heart. 33HE. Teach mee, O Lord, the way of thy statutes, and I will keepe it vnto the ende. 34Giue mee vnderstanding, and I will keepe thy Law: yea, I wil keepe it with my whole heart. 35Direct mee in the path of thy commandements: for therein is my delite. 36Incline mine heart vnto thy testimonies, and not to couetousnesse. 37Turne away mine eies from regarding vanitie, and quicken me in thy way. 38Stablish thy promise to thy seruaunt, because he feareth thee. 39Take away my rebuke that I feare: for thy iudgements are good. 40Beholde, I desire thy commandements: quicken me in thy righteousnesse, 41VAV. And let thy louing kindnesse come vnto me, O Lord, and thy saluation according to thy promise. 42So shall I make answere vnto my blasphemers: for I trust in thy woorde. 43And take not the woorde of trueth vtterly out of my mouth: for I waite for thy iudgements. 44So shall I alway keepe thy Lawe for euer and euer. 45And I will walke at libertie: for I seeke thy precepts. 46I will speake also of thy testimonies before Kings, and will not be ashamed. 47And my delite shalbe in thy commandements, which I haue loued. 48Mine handes also will I lift vp vnto thy commandements, which I haue loued, and I will meditate in thy statutes. 49ZAIN. Remember the promise made to thy seruant, wherein thou hast caused me to trust. 50It is my comfort in my trouble: for thy promise hath quickened me. 51The proude haue had me exceedingly in derision: yet haue I not declined from thy Lawe. 52I remembred thy iudgements of olde, O Lord, and haue bene comforted. 53Feare is come vpon mee for the wicked, that forsake thy Lawe. 54Thy statutes haue beene my songes in the house of my pilgrimage. 55I haue remembred thy Name, O Lord, in the night, and haue kept thy Lawe. 56This I had because I kept thy precepts. 57CHETH. O Lord, that art my portion, I haue determined to keepe thy wordes. 58I made my supplication in thy presence with my whole heart: be mercifull vnto me according to thy promise. 59I haue considered my waies, and turned my feete into thy testimonies. 60I made haste and delaied not to keepe thy commandements. 61The bandes of the wicked haue robbed me: but I haue not forgotten thy Lawe. 62At midnight will I rise to giue thanks vnto thee, because of thy righteous iudgements. 63I am companion of all them that feare thee, and keepe thy precepts. 64The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercie: teache me thy statutes. 65TETH. O Lord, thou hast delt graciously with thy seruant according vnto thy woorde. 66Teach me good iudgement and knowledge: for I haue beleeued thy commandements. 67Before I was afflicted, I went astray: but nowe I keepe thy woorde. 68Thou art good and gracious: teach me thy statutes. 69The proud haue imagined a lie against me: but I wil keepe thy precepts with my whole heart. 70Their heart is fatte as grease: but my delite is in thy Lawe. 71It is good for me that I haue beene afflicted, that I may learne thy statutes. 72The Lawe of thy mouth is better vnto me, then thousands of golde and siluer. 73IOD. Thine hands haue made me and fashioned me: giue mee vnderstanding therefore, that I may learne thy commandements. 74So they that feare thee, seeing mee shall reioyce, because I haue trusted in thy worde. 75I knowe, O Lord, that thy iudgements are right, and that thou hast afflicted me iustly. 76I pray thee that thy mercie may comfort me according to thy promise vnto thy seruant. 77Let thy tender mercies come vnto me, that I may liue: for thy Lawe is my delite. 78Let the proude be ashamed: for they haue dealt wickedly and falsely with me: but I meditate in thy precepts. 79Let such as feare thee turne vnto me, and they that knowe thy testimonies. 80Let mine heart bee vpright in thy statutes, that I be not ashamed. 81CAPH. My soule fainteth for thy saluation: yet I waite for thy worde. 82Mine eyes faile for thy promise, saying, when wilt thou comfort me? 83For I am like a bottell in the smoke: yet doe I not forget thy statutes. 84Howe many are the dayes of thy seruant? When wilt thou execute iudgement on them that persecute me? 85The proude haue digged pittes for mee, which is not after thy Lawe. 86All thy commandements are true: they persecute me falsely: helpe me. 87They had almost consumed me vpon the earth: but I forsooke not thy precepts. 88Quicken me according to thy louing kindnes: so shall I keepe the testimony of thy mouth. 89LAMED. O Lord, thy worde endureth for euer in heauen. 90Thy trueth is from generation to generation: thou hast layed the foundation of the earth, and it abideth. 91They continue euen to this day by thine ordinances: for all are thy seruants. 92Except thy Lawe had bene my delite, I should now haue perished in mine affliction. 93I wil neuer forget thy precepts: for by them thou hast quickened me. 94I am thine, saue me: for I haue sought thy precepts. 95The wicked haue waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies. 96I haue seene an ende of all perfection: but thy commandement is exceeding large. 97MEM. Oh howe loue I thy Lawe! it is my meditation continually. 98By thy commandements thou hast made mee wiser then mine enemies: for they are euer with mee. 99I haue had more vnderstading then all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100I vnderstoode more then the ancient, because I kept thy precepts. 101I haue refrained my feete from euery euil way, that I might keepe thy word. 102I haue not declined from thy iudgements: for thou didest teach me. 103Howe sweete are thy promises vnto my mouth! yea, more then hony vnto my mouth. 104By thy precepts I haue gotten vnderstanding: therefore I hate all the wayes of falshoode. 105NUN. Thy worde is a lanterne vnto my feete, and a light vnto my path. 106I haue sworne and will performe it, that I will keepe thy righteous iudgements. 107I am very sore afflicted: O Lord, quicken me according to thy word. 108O Lord, I beseeche thee accept the free offerings of my mouth, and teach mee thy iudgements. 109My soule is continually in mine hande: yet doe I not forget thy Lawe. 110The wicked haue layed a snare for mee: but I swarued not from thy precepts. 111Thy testimonies haue I taken as an heritage for euer: for they are the ioy of mine heart. 112I haue applied mine heart to fulfill thy statutes alway, euen vnto the ende. 113SAMECH. I hate vaine inuentions: but thy Lawe doe I loue. 114Thou art my refuge and shield, and I trust in thy worde. 115Away from mee, yee wicked: for I will keepe the commandements of my God. 116Stablish me according to thy promise, that I may liue, and disappoint me not of mine hope. 117Stay thou mee, and I shall be safe, and I will delite continually in thy statutes. 118Thou hast troden downe all them that depart from thy statutes: for their deceit is vaine. 119Thou hast taken away all ye wicked of the earth like drosse: therefore I loue thy testimonies. 120My flesh trembleth for feare of thee, and I am afraide of thy iudgements. 121AIN. I haue executed iudgement and iustice: leaue me not to mine oppressours. 122Answere for thy seruant in that, which is good, and let not the proude oppresse me. 123Mine eyes haue failed in waiting for thy saluation, and for thy iust promise. 124Deale with thy seruant according to thy mercie, and teache me thy statutes. 125I am thy seruant: graunt mee therefore vnderstanding, that I may knowe thy testimonies. 126It is time for thee Lord to worke: for they haue destroyed thy Lawe. 127Therefore loue I thy commandements aboue golde, yea, aboue most fine golde. 128Therefore I esteeme all thy precepts most iust, and hate all false wayes. 129PE. Thy testimonies are wonderfull: therefore doeth my soule keepe them. 130The entrance into thy wordes sheweth light, and giueth vnderstanding to the simple. 131I opened my mouth and panted, because I loued thy commandements. 132Looke vpon mee and bee mercifull vnto me, as thou vsest to doe vnto those that loue thy Name. 133Direct my steppes in thy worde, and let none iniquitie haue dominion ouer me. 134Deliuer mee from the oppression of men, and I will keepe thy precepts. 135Shew the light of thy countenance vpon thy seruant, and teache me thy statutes. 136Mine eyes gush out with riuers of water, because they keepe not thy Lawe. 137TSADDI. Righteous art thou, O Lord, and iust are thy iudgements. 138Thou hast commanded iustice by thy testimonies and trueth especially. 139My zeale hath euen consumed mee, because mine enemies haue forgotten thy wordes. 140Thy word is prooued most pure, and thy seruant loueth it. 141I am small and despised: yet do I not forget thy precepts. 142Thy righteousnesse is an euerlasting righteousnes, and thy Lawe is trueth. 143Trouble and anguish are come vpon me: yet are thy commandements my delite. 144The righteousnes of thy testimonies is euerlasting: graunt me vnderstanding, and I shall liue. 145KOPH. I haue cried with my whole heart: heare me, O Lord, and I will keepe thy statutes. 146I called vpon thee: saue mee, and I will keepe thy testimonies. 147I preuented the morning light, and cried: for I waited on thy word. 148Mine eyes preuent the night watches to meditate in thy word. 149Heare my voyce according to thy louing kindenesse: O Lord, quicken me according to thy iudgement. 150They drawe neere, that follow after malice, and are farre from thy Lawe. 151Thou art neere, O Lord: for all thy commandements are true. 152I haue knowen long since by thy testimonies, that thou hast established them for euer. 153RESH. Beholde mine affliction, and deliuer mee: for I haue not forgotten thy Lawe. 154Pleade my cause, and deliuer me: quicken me according vnto thy word. 155Saluation is farre from the wicked, because they seeke not thy statutes. 156Great are thy tender mercies, O Lord: quicken me according to thy iudgements. 157My persecutours and mine oppressours are many: yet doe I not swarue from thy testimonies. 158I saw the transgressours and was grieued, because they kept not thy worde. 159Consider, O Lord, how I loue thy preceptes: quicken mee according to thy louing kindenesse. 160The beginning of thy worde is trueth, and all the iudgements of thy righteousnesse endure for euer. 161SCHIN. Princes haue persecuted mee without cause, but mine heart stood in awe of thy wordes. 162I reioyce at thy worde, as one that findeth a great spoyle. 163I hate falshoode and abhorre it, but thy Lawe doe I loue. 164Seuen times a day doe I praise thee, because of thy righteous iudgements. 165They that loue thy Law, shall haue great prosperitie, and they shall haue none hurt. 166Lord, I haue trusted in thy saluation, and haue done thy commandements. 167My soule hath kept thy testimonies: for I loue them exceedingly. 168I haue kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my wayes are before thee. 169TAV. Let my complaint come before thee, O Lord, and giue me vnderstanding, according vnto thy worde. 170Let my supplication come before thee, and deliuer me according to thy promise. 171My lippes shall speake praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes. 172My tongue shall intreate of thy word: for all thy commandements are righteous. 173Let thine hand helpe me: for I haue chosen thy precepts. 174I haue longed for thy saluation, O Lord, and thy Lawe is my delite. 175Let my soule liue, and it shall praise thee, and thy iudgements shall helpe me. 176I haue gone astraye like a lost sheepe: seeke thy seruant, for I doe not forget thy commandements.
