PSALM 119
1 Alleluia. [Aleph.] Blessed be men without wem in the way; that go in the law of the Lord.
2Blessed be they, that seek his wit-nessings; and seek him in all the heart.
3For they that work wickedness; went not in his ways.
4Thou hast commanded; that thy behests be kept greatly.
5I would that my ways were dressed; to keep thy justifyings.
6Then I shall not be shamed; when I shall behold perfectly in all thy behests.
7I shall acknowledge to thee in the dressing [or right ruling] of mine heart; in that that I learned the dooms of thy rightfulnesses [or rightwiseness].
8I shall keep thy justifyings; forsake thou not me on each side.
9 [Beth.] In what thing amendeth a young waxing man his way? in keep-ing thy words.
10In all mine heart I sought thee; put thou me not away from thy behests.
11In mine heart I hid thy speeches; that I do not sin against thee.
12Lord, thou art blessed; teach thou me thy justifyings.
13In my lips I have pronounced; all the dooms of thy mouth.
14I delighted in the way of thy witnessings; as in all riches.
15I shall be exercised, either busily occupied, in thy behests; and I shall behold thy ways.
16I shall bethink in thy justifyings; I shall not forget thy words.
17 [Gimel.] Yield to thy servant; quicken thou me, and I shall keep thy words.
18Lighten thou mine eyes; and I shall behold the marvels of thy law.
19I am a comeling in earth; hide thou not thy behests from me.
20My soul coveted to desire thy justifyings; in all time.
21Thou blamedest the proud; they be cursed, that bow away from thy behests.
22Do thou away from me shame and despising; for I sought thy witnessings.
23For why princes sat, and spake against me; but thy servant was exercised in thy justifyings.
24For why and thy witnessings is my thinking; and my counsel is thy justifyings.
25 [Daleth.] My soul cleaved to the pavement; quicken thou me by thy word.
26I told out my ways, and thou heardest me; teach thou me thy justifyings.
27Learn [or Inform] thou me the way of thy justifyings; and I shall be exercised in thy marvels.
28My soul napped for annoyance; confirm thou me in thy words.
29Remove thou from me the way of wickedness; and in thy law have thou mercy on me.
30I chose the way of truth; I forgat not thy dooms.
31Lord, I cleaved to thy witnessings; do not thou shame me.
32I ran the way of thy command-ments; when thou alargedest mine heart.
33 [He.] Lord, set thou to me a law, the way of thy justifyings; and I shall seek it ever[more].
34Give thou understanding to me, and I shall seek thy law; and I shall keep it in all mine heart.
35Lead me forth in the path of thy behests; for I would or delight in it.
36Bow down mine heart into thy witnessings; and not into avarice.
37Turn thou away mine eyes, that they see not vanity; quicken thou me in thy way.
38Ordain thy speech to thy servant; in thy dread.
39Cut away my shame, which I supposed; for thy dooms be merry.
40Lo! I coveted thy commandments; quicken thou me in thine equity.
41 [Vau.] And, Lord, thy mercy come [up] on me; thine health come by thy speech.
42And I shall answer a word to men saying shame to me; for I hoped in thy words.
43And take thou not away from my mouth the word of truth utterly; for I hoped above in thy dooms.
44And I shall keep thy law ever-[more]; into the world, and into the world of world.
45And I went in largeness; for I sought thy commandments.
46And I spake of thy witnessings in the sight of kings; and I was not shamed.
47And I bethought in thy behests; which I loved.
48And I raised mine hands to thy commandments, which I loved; and I shall be exercised in thy justifyings.
49 [Zain.] Lord, have thou mind on thy word to thy servant; in which word thou hast given hope to me.
50This comforted me in my lowness; for thy word quickened me.
51Proud men did wickedly to me by all things; but I bowed not away from thy law.
52Lord, I was mindful of thy dooms from the world; and I was comforted.
53Failing held me; for sinners for-saking thy law.
54Thy justifyings were delightable to me to be sung; in the place of my pilgrimage.
55Lord, I had mind of thy name by night; and I kept thy law.
56This thing was made to me; for I sought thy justifyings.
57 [Cheth.] Lord, my part; I said to keep thy law.
58I besought thy face in all mine heart; have thou mercy on me by thy speech.
59I bethought on my ways; and I turned my feet into thy witnessings.
60I am ready, and I am not troubled; to keep thy commandments.
61The cords of sinners have em-braced me; and I have not forgotten thy law.
62At midnight, I rose to acknowl-edge to thee; on the dooms of thy justifyings.
63I am partner of all that dread thee; and keep thy behests.
64Lord, the earth is full of thy mercy; teach thou me thy justifyings.
65 [Teth.] Lord, thou hast done good-ness with thy servant; by thy word.
66Teach thou me goodness, and lore, either chastising, and knowing; for I believed to thy behests.
67Before that I was made meek, I trespassed; therefore I kept thy speech.
68Thou art good; and in thy good-ness teach thou me thy justifyings.
69The wickedness of them that be proud, is multiplied on me; but in all mine heart I shall seek thy behests.
70The heart of them is crudded, either made hard, as milk; but I be-thought on thy law.
71It is good to me, that thou hast made me meek; that I learn thy justi-fyings.
72The law out of thy mouth is better to me; than thousands of gold and silver.
73 [Jod.] Thine hands made me, and formed me; give thou understanding to me, that I learn thy behests.
74They that dread thee shall see me, and they shall be glad; for I hoped more on thy words.
75Lord, I knew, that thy dooms be equity; and in thy truth thou hast made me meek.
76Thy mercy be made, that it comfort me; by thy speech to thy servant.
77Thy merciful doings come to me, and I shall live; for thy law is my thinking.
78They that be proud be shamed, for unjustly they did wickedness against me; but I shall be exercised in thy behests.
79They that dread thee be turned to me; and they that know thy witnessings.
80Mine heart be made unwemmed in thy justifyings; that I be not shamed.
81 [Caph.] My soul failed into thine health; and I hoped more in thy word.
82Mine eyes failed into thy speech; saying, When shalt thou comfort me?
83For I am made as a bouget [or bottle] in frost; I have not forgotten thy justifyings.
84How many be the days of thy servant; when thou shalt make doom of them that pursue me?
85Wicked men told to me janglings; but not as thy law.
86All thy commandments be truth; wicked men have pursued me, help thou me.
87Almost they ended me in [the] earth; but I forsook not thy command-ments.
88By thy mercy quicken thou me; and I shall keep the witnessings of thy mouth.
89 [Lamed.] Lord, thy word dwelleth in heaven; without end.
90Thy truth dwelleth in generation, and into generation; thou hast founded the earth, and it dwelleth.
91The day lasteth continually by thy ordinances; for all things serve to thee.
92But for thy law was my thinking; then peradventure I had perished in my lowness.
93Without end I shall not forget thy justifyings; for in those [or them] thou hast quickened me.
94I am thine, make thou me safe; for I have sought thy justifyings.
95Sinners abode me, for to lose me; I understood thy witnessings.
96I saw the end of all end; thy commandment is full large.
97 [Mem.] Lord, how loved I [or I loved] thy law; all day it is my thinking.
98Above mine enemies thou madest me prudent by thy commandment; for it is to me without end.
99I understood over all men teaching me; for thy witnessings is my thinking.
100I understood above eld [or old] men; for I sought thy commandments.
101I forbade my feet from all evil way; that I keep thy words.
102I bowed not from thy dooms; for thou hast set law to me.
103Thy speeches be full sweet to my cheeks; above honey to my mouth.
104I understood of thy behests; there-fore I hated all the ways of wickedness.
105 [Nun.] Thy word is a lantern to my feet; and a light to my paths.
106I swore, and purposed steadfastly; to keep the dooms of thy rightfulness [or rightwiseness].
107I am made low by all things; Lord, quicken thou me by thy word.
108Lord, make thou well pleasing the willful things of my mouth; and teach thou me thy dooms.
109My soul is ever[more] in mine hands; and I forgat not thy law.
110Sinners setted a snare to me; and I erred not from thy commandments.
111I purchased thy witnessings by heritage without end; for those [or they] be the full [out] joying of mine heart.
112I bowed mine heart to do thy justifyings without end; for reward.
113 [Samech.] I hated wicked men; and I loved thy law.
114Thou art mine helper, and mine up-taker; and I hoped more in thy word.
115Ye wicked men, bow away from me; and I shall seek the command-ments of my God.
116Up-take thou me by thy word, and I shall live; and shame thou not me for mine abiding.
117Help thou me, and I shall be safe; and I shall bethink ever[more] in thy justifyings.
118Thou hast forsaken all men going away from thy dooms; for the thought of them is unjust.
119I areckoned all the sinners of earth to be breakers of the law; therefore I loved thy witnessings.
120Nail thou my flesh with thy dread; for I dreaded of thy dooms.
121 [Ain.] I did doom and rightwise-ness; betake thou not me to them that falsely challenge me.
122Take up thy servant into goodness; they that be proud challenge not me.
123Mine eyes failed into thine health; and into the speech of thy rightful-ness [or rightwiseness].
124Do thou with thy servant after thy mercy; and teach thou me thy justify-ings.
125I am thy servant; give thou under-standing to me, that I know thy witnessings.
126Lord, it is time to do; they have destroyed thy law.
127Therefore I loved thy command-ments; more than gold and topaz.
128Therefore I was dressed to all thy behests; I hated all wicked way.
129 [Pe.] Lord, thy witnessings be wonderful; therefore my soul sought those [or them].
130Declaring of thy words lighteneth; and it giveth understanding to meek men.
131I opened my mouth, and drew the spirit; for I desired thy commandments.
132Behold thou on me, and have mercy on me; by the doom of them that love thy name.
133Dress thou my goings by thy speech; that all unrightfulness have not lordship on me.
134Again-buy thou me from the false challenges of men; that I keep thy behests.
135Lighten thy face on thy servant; and teach thou me thy justifyings.
136Mine eyes led forth the outgoings of waters; for they kept not thy law.
137 [Tzaddi.] Lord, thou art just [or rightwise]; and thy doom is rightful [or right].
138Thou hast commanded rightfulness [or rightwiseness], thy witnessings; and thy truth greatly to be kept.
139My fervent love made me to be melted, either languished; for mine enemies forgat thy words.
140Thy speech is set afire; and thy servant loved it.
141I am young, and despised; I forgat not thy justifyings.
142Lord, thy rightfulness [or rightwise-ness] is rightfulness [or rightwiseness] without end; and thy law is truth.
143Tribulation and anguish have found me; thy behests is my thinking.
144Thy witnessings is equity without end; give thou understanding to me, and I shall live.
145 [Koph.] I cried in all mine heart, Lord, hear thou me; I shall seek thy justifyings.
146I cried to thee, make thou me safe; that I keep thy commandments.
147I before came in ripeness, and I cried; I hoped above on thy words.
148Mine eyes before came to thee full early; that I should bethink on thy speeches.
149Lord, hear thou my voice by thy mercy; and quicken [or enliven] thou me by thy doom.
150They that pursue me nighed to wickedness; forsooth they be made far from thy law.
151Lord, thou art nigh; and all thy ways be truth.
152In the beginning I knew of thy witnessings; for thou hast founded those [or them] without end.
153 [Resh.] See thou my meekness, and deliver thou me; for I forgat not thy law.
154Deem thou my doom, and again-buy thou me; quicken thou me for thy speech.
155Health is far from sinners; for they sought not thy justifyings.
156Lord, thy mercies be many; quicken thou me by thy doom.
157 They be many that pursue me, and do tribulation to me; I bowed not away from thy witnessings.
158I saw breakers of the law, and I was melted, either languished; for they kept not thy speeches.
159Lord, see thou, for I loved thy commandments; quicken thou me in thy mercy.
160The beginning of thy word is truth; all the dooms of thy rightwise-ness be without end.
161 [Schin.] Princes pursued me with-out cause; and my heart dreaded of thy words.
162I shall be glad on thy speeches; as he that findeth many spoils.
163I hated and loathed wickedness; forsooth I loved thy law.
164I said praisings to thee seven times in the day; on the dooms of thy rightfulness [or rightwiseness].
165Much peace is to them that love thy law; and no cause of stumbling is to them.
166Lord, I abode thine health; and I loved thy behests.
167My soul kept thy witnessings; and loved those [or them] greatly.
168I kept thy commandments, and thy witnessings; for all my ways be in thy sight.
169 [Tau.] Lord, my beseeching come nigh in thy sight; by thy speech give thou understanding to me.
170Mine asking enter into thy sight; by thy speech deliver thou me.
171My lips shall tell out an hymn; when thou hast taught me thy justi-fyings.
172My tongue shall pronounce thy speech; for why all thy command-ments be equity.
173Thine hand be made, that it save me; for I have chosen thy behests.
174Lord, I coveted thine health; and thy law is my thinking.
175My soul shall live, and it shall praise thee; and thy dooms shall help me.
176I erred as a sheep that perished; Lord, seek thy servant, for I forgat not thy commandments.
