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.

to be followed completely.

because your laws are right.
63I am a friend to everyone who fears you.
I am a friend to anyone who follows your orders.
64Lord, your love fills the earth.
Teach me your demands.
65You have done good things for me, your servant,
as you have promised, Lord.

But now I obey your word.
68You are good, and you do what is good.
Teach me your demands.
69Proud people have made up lies about me.
But I will follow your orders with all my heart.
70Those people have no feelings,
but I love your teachings.
71It was good for me to suffer
so I would learn your demands.
72Your teachings are worth more to me
than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.
73You made me and formed me with your hands.
Give me understanding so I can learn your commands.
74Let those who fear you rejoice when they see me
because I put my hope in your word.
75Lord, I know that your laws are right.
And it was right for you to punish me.
76Comfort me with your love,
as you promised me, your servant.
77Have mercy on me so that I may live.
I love your teachings.

Then I will not be ashamed.
81I am weak from waiting for you to save me.
But I trust your word.
82My eyes are tired from looking for your promise.
When will you comfort me?
83Even though I am like a leather wine bag going up in smoke,
I do not forget your demands.
84How long will I live?
When will you judge those who are hurting me?
85Proud people have dug pits to trap me.
They have nothing to do with your teachings.
86All of your commands can be trusted.
Liars are hurting me. Help me!
87They have almost put me in the grave.
But I have not rejected your orders.
88Give me life by your love
so I can obey your rules.
89Lord, your word is everlasting.
It continues forever in heaven.
90Your loyalty will continue from now on.
You made the earth, and it still stands.
91All things continue to this day because of your laws.
All things serve you.
92If I had not loved your teachings,
I would have died from my sufferings.
93I will never forget your orders
because you have given me life by them.
94I am yours. Save me.
I have wanted to know your orders.
95Wicked people are waiting to destroy me.
But I will think about your rules.
96Everything I see has its limits.
But your commands have none.
97How I love your teachings!
I think about them all day long.
98Your commands make me wiser than my enemies
because they are mine forever.
99I am wiser than all my teachers
because I think about your rules.
100I have more understanding than the elders
because I follow your orders.
101I have avoided every evil way
so I could obey your word.
102I haven’t stopped obeying your laws
because you yourself are my teacher.
103Your promises are so sweet to me.
They are like honey to my mouth!
104Your orders give me understanding.
So I hate lying ways.
105Your word is like a lamp for my feet
and a light for my way.
106I will do what I have promised
and obey your fair laws.
107I have suffered for a long time.
Lord, give me life by your word.
108Lord, accept my willing praise.
And teach me your laws.
109My life is always in danger.
But I haven’t forgotten your teachings.
110Wicked people have set a trap for me.
But I haven’t disobeyed your orders.
111I will follow your rules forever.
They make me happy.
112I will try to do what you demand
forever, until the end.
113I hate people who are not completely loyal to you.
But I love your teachings.
114You are my hiding place and my shield.
I trust your word.
115Get away from me, you people who do evil,
so I can keep my God’s commands.
116Support me as you promised so I can live.
Don’t let me be embarrassed because of my hopes.
117Help me, and I will be saved.
I will always respect your demands.
118You reject everyone who ignores your demands.
Their lies mislead them.
119You throw away the wicked of the world like trash.
So I will love your rules.
120I shake in fear of you.
I fear your laws.
121I have done what is fair and right.
Don’t leave me to my enemies.
122Promise that you will help me, your servant.
Don’t let proud people hurt me.
123My eyes are tired from looking for your salvation
and for your good promise.
124Show your love to me, your servant.
Teach me your demands.
125I am your servant. Give me wisdom
so I can understand your rules.
126Lord, it is time for you to do something.
People have disobeyed your teachings.
127I love your commands
more than the purest gold.
128I respect all your orders.
So I hate lying ways.
129Your rules are wonderful.
That is why I obey them.
130Learning your words gives wisdom
and understanding for the foolish.
131I want to learn your commands.
I am like a person breathing hard and waiting impatiently.
132Look at me and have mercy on me
as you do for those who love you.
133Guide my steps as you promised.
Don’t let any sin control me.
134Save me from harmful people.
Then I will obey your orders.
135Show your kindness to me, your servant.
Teach me your demands.
136Tears stream from my eyes
because people do not obey your teachings.
137Lord, you do what is right.
And your laws are fair.
138The rules you commanded are right
and completely trustworthy.
139I am so upset I am worn out.
This is because my enemies have forgotten your words.
140Your promises are proven.
I, your servant, love them.
141I am unimportant and hated.
But I have not forgotten your orders.
142Your goodness continues forever.
And your teachings are true.
143I have had troubles and misery.
But I love your commands.
144Your rules are good forever.
Help me understand so I can live.
145Lord, I call to you with all my heart.
Answer me,
and I will keep your demands.
146I call to you. Save me
so I can obey your rules.
147I wake up early in the morning and cry out.
I trust your word.
148I stay awake all night
so I can think about your promises.
149Listen to me because of your love.
Lord, give me life by your laws.
150Those who love evil are near.
They are far from your teachings.
151But, Lord, you are also near.
And all your commands are true.
152Long ago I learned from your rules
that you made them to continue forever.
153See my suffering and save me
because I have not forgotten your teachings.
154Argue my case and save me.
Let me live by your promises.
155Wicked people are far from being saved
because they do not want to obey your demands.
156Lord, you are very kind.
Give me life by your laws.
157Many enemies are after me.
But I have not rejected your rules.
158I see those traitors, and I hate them
because they do not obey what you say.
159See how I love your orders.
Lord, give me life by your love.
160Your words are true from the start.
And all your laws will be fair forever.
161Leaders attack me for no reason.
But I fear your law in my heart.
162I am as happy over your promises
as if I had found a great treasure.
163I hate and despise lies.
But I love your teachings.
164Seven times a day I praise you
for your fair laws.
165Those who love your teachings will find true peace.
Nothing will defeat them.
166I am waiting for you to save me, Lord.
I will obey your commands.
167I keep your rules.
I love them very much.
168I keep your orders and rules.
You know everything I do.
169Hear my cry to you, Lord.
Let your word help me understand.
170Listen to my prayer.
Save me as you promised.
171Let me speak your praise.
You have taught me your demands.
172Let me sing about your promises.
All your commands are fair.
173Always be ready to help me
because I have chosen to obey your commands.
174I want you to save me, Lord.
I love your teachings.
175Let me live so I can praise you.
Your laws will help me.
176I have wandered like a lost sheep.
Look for your servant because I have not forgotten your commands.
