1ALEPH. Blessed are the perfectH8549 in the wayH1870, who walkH1980 in the lawH8451 of Jehovah.2Blessed are they that observeH5341 his testimonies, that seekH1875 him with the whole heartH3820;3Who alsoH637 do no unrighteousnessH5766: they walkH1980 in his waysH1870.4Thou hast enjoined thy preceptsH6490, to be keptH8104 diligently.5Oh that my waysH1870 were directedH3559 to keepH8104 thy statutesH2706!6ThenH227 shall I not be ashamedH954, when I have respect unto all thy commandmentsH4687.7I will giveH3034 thee thanksH3034 with uprightnessH3476 of heartH3824, when I shall have learnedH3925 thy righteous judgmentsH4941.8I will keepH8104 thy statutesH2706: forsakeH5800 me not utterly.9BETH. Wherewithal shall a youngH5288 manH5288 cleanse his pathH734? by taking heedH8104 according to thy wordH1697.10With my whole heartH3820 have I soughtH1875 thee: let me not wander from thy commandmentsH4687.11Thy *wordH565 have I hidH6845 in my heartH3820, that I might not sinH2398 against thee.12BlessedH1288 art thou, Jehovah! teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.13With my lipsH8193 have I declared all the judgmentsH4941 of thy mouthH6310.14I have rejoicedH7797 in the wayH1870 of thy testimoniesH5715, as [much as] in all wealthH1952.15I will meditateH7878 upon thy preceptsH6490, and have respect unto thy pathsH734.16I delight myself in thy statutesH2708; I will not forgetH7911 thy wordH1697.17GIMEL. DealH1580 bountifullyH1580 with thy servantH5650 [and] I shall liveH2421; and I will keepH8104 thy wordH1697.18Open mine eyesH5869, and I shall behold wondrous thingsH6381 out of thy lawH8451.19I am a stranger in the landH776; hideH5641 not thy commandmentsH4687 from me.20My soulH5315 breaketh for longing after thy judgmentsH4941 at all timesH6256.21Thou hast rebukedH1605 the proud [that are] cursedH779, who wander from thy commandmentsH4687.22RollH1556 off from me reproachH2781 and contemptH937; for I observeH5341 thy testimonies.23PrincesH8269 alsoH1571 did sitH3427 [and] talk together against me: thy servantH5650 doth meditateH7878 in thy statutesH2706.24Thy testimonies alsoH1571 are my delightH8191 [and] my counsellors.25DALETH. My soulH5315 cleaveth unto the dustH6083: quicken me according to thy wordH1697.26I have declared my waysH1870, and thou hast answeredH6030 me: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.27Make me to understandH995 the wayH1870 of thy preceptsH6490, and I will meditateH7878 upon thy wondrous works.28My soulH5315 melteth for sadness: strengthen me according to thy wordH1697.29RemoveH5493 from me the wayH1870 of falsehoodH8267, and graciously grant me thy lawH8451.30I have chosenH977 the wayH1870 of faithfulnessH530; thy judgmentsH4941 have I set [before me].31I cleave unto thy testimoniesH5715; Jehovah, let me not be ashamedH954.32I will runH7323 the wayH1870 of thy commandmentsH4687 when thou shalt enlargeH7337 my heartH3820.33HE. TeachH3384 me, O Jehovah, the wayH1870 of thy statutesH2706, and I will observeH5341 it [unto] the endH6118.34GiveH995 me understandingH995, and I will observeH8104 thy lawH8451; and I will keepH8104 it with [my] whole heartH3820.35Make me to walk in the pathH5410 of thy commandmentsH4687; for therein do I delightH2654.36InclineH5186 my heartH3820 unto thy testimoniesH5715, and not to gainH1215.37Turn awayH5674 mine eyesH5869 from beholding vanityH7723; quicken me in thy wayH1870.38EstablishH6965 thy *wordH565 unto thy servantH5650, who is [devoted] to thy fearH3374.39Turn awayH5674 my reproachH2781 which I fear; for thy judgmentsH4941 are goodH2896.40Behold, I have longed after thy preceptsH6490: quicken me in thy righteousnessH6666.41VAU. And let thy loving-kindness comeH935 unto me, O Jehovah, — thy salvationH8668 according to thy *wordH565.42So shall I have wherewith to answerH6030 him that reproacheth me; for I confide in thy wordH1697.43And take not the wordH1697 of truthH571 utterly out of my mouthH6310; because I have hoped in thy judgmentsH4941.44Then will I keepH8104 thy lawH8451 continuallyH8548, for everH5703 and everH5703;45And I will walkH1980 at liberty, for I have soughtH1875 thy preceptsH6490;46And I will speakH1696 of thy testimonies before kingsH4428, and will not be ashamedH954;47And I will delight myself in thy commandmentsH4687, which I have lovedH157;48And I will liftH5375 up my handsH3709 unto thy commandmentsH4687, which I have lovedH157, and I will meditateH7878 in thy statutesH2706.49ZAIN. RememberH2142 the wordH1697 for thy servantH5650, upon which thou hast caused me to hopeH3176.50This is my comfortH5165 in mine affliction; for thy *wordH565 hath quickened me.51The proud have derided me beyond measure: I have not declined from thy lawH8451.52I rememberedH2142 thy judgmentsH4941 of old, O Jehovah, and have comfortedH5162 myself.53BurningH2152 indignation hath takenH270 holdH270 upon me because of the wickedH7563 who forsakeH5800 thy lawH8451.54Thy statutesH2706 have beenH1961 my songsH2158 in the houseH1004 of my pilgrimage.55I have rememberedH2142 thy nameH8034, O Jehovah, in the nightH3915, and have keptH8104 thy lawH8451.56This I have had, because I have observedH5341 thy preceptsH6490.57CHETH. My portionH2506, O Jehovah, I have saidH559, is to keepH8104 thy wordsH1697.58I have sought thy favour with [my] whole heartH3820: be gracious unto me according to thy *wordH565.59I have thought on my waysH1870, and turnedH7725 my feetH7272 unto thy testimonies.60I have made haste, and not delayedH4102, to keepH8104 thy commandmentsH4687.61The bands of the wickedH7563 have wrapped me round: I have not forgottenH7911 thy lawH8451.62At midnight I riseH6965 up to giveH3034 thanksH3034 unto thee, because of thy righteous judgmentsH4941.63I am the companionH2270 of all that fearH3372 thee, and of them that keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490.64The earthH776, O Jehovah, is fullH4390 of thy loving-kindness: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.65TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servantH5650, O Jehovah, according to thy wordH1697.66TeachH3925 me goodH2898 discernmentH2940 and knowledgeH1847; for I have believedH539 in thy commandmentsH4687.67Before I was afflicted I went astrayH7683, but nowH6258 I keepH8104 thy *wordH565.68Thou art goodH2896, and doest goodH2896; teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.69The proud have forged falsehoodH8267 against me: I will observeH5341 thy preceptsH6490 with [my] whole heartH3820.70Their heartH3820 is as fatH2459 as grease: as for me, I delight in thy lawH8451.71It is goodH2896 for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learnH3925 thy statutesH2706.72The lawH8451 of thy mouthH6310 is betterH2896 unto me than thousandsH505 of goldH2091 and silverH3701.73YOD. Thy handsH3027 have madeH6213 me and fashioned me: giveH995 me understandingH995, and I will learnH3925 thy commandmentsH4687.74They that fearH3373 thee will seeH7200 me, and rejoiceH8055; because I have hoped in thy wordH1697.75I knowH3045, Jehovah, that thy JudgmentsH4941 are righteousnessH6664, and that in faithfulnessH530 thou hast afflicted me.76Oh let thy loving-kindness beH1961 for my comfortH5162, according to thy *wordH565 unto thy servantH5650.77Let thy tender mercies comeH935 unto me, that I may liveH2421; for thy lawH8451 is my delightH8191.78Let the proud be ashamedH954; for they have actedH954 perversely towards me with falsehoodH8267: as for me, I meditateH7878 in thy preceptsH6490.79Let those that fearH3373 thee turnH7725 unto me, and those that knowH3045 thy testimonies.80Let my heartH3820 beH1961 perfectH8549 in thy statutesH2706, that I beH1961 not ashamedH954.81CAPH. My soulH5315 fainteth for thy salvationH8668; I hopeH3176 in thy wordH1697.82Mine eyesH5869 failH3615 for thy *word, sayingH559, WhenH4970 wilt thou comfortH5162 me?83For I amH1961 becomeH1961 like a bottle in the smokeH7008; I do not forgetH7911 thy statutesH2706.84HowH4100 many shall be the daysH3117 of thy servantH5650? when wilt thou execute judgmentH4941 on them that persecute me?85The proud have digged pits for me, which is not according to thy lawH8451.86All thy commandmentsH4687 are faithfulnessH530. They persecute me wrongfully: helpH5826 thou me.87They had almost consumed me upon the earthH776; but as for me, I forsook not thy preceptsH6490.88Quicken me according to thy loving-kindness, and I will keepH8104 the testimonyH5715 of thy mouthH6310.89LAMED. For everH5769, O Jehovah, thy wordH1697 is settled in the heavensH8064.90Thy faithfulnessH530 is from generationH1755 to generationH1755: thou hast establishedH3559 the earthH776, and it standeth.91By thine ordinances they standH5975 this dayH3117; for all things are thy servantsH5650.92Unless thy lawH8451 had been my delightH8191, I should thenH227 have perishedH6 in mine affliction.93I will never forgetH7911 thy preceptsH6490; for by them thou hast quickened me.94I am thine, saveH3467 me; for I have soughtH1875 thy preceptsH6490.95The wickedH7563 have awaited me to destroyH6 me; [but] I attend unto thy testimonies.96I have seenH7200 an endH7093 of all perfection: thy commandmentH4687 is exceeding broadH7342.97MEM. Oh howH4100 I loveH157 thy lawH8451! it is my meditationH7881 all the dayH3117.98Thy commandmentsH4687 make me wiser than mine enemiesH341; for they are everH5769 with me.99I have more understanding than all my teachersH3925; for thy testimoniesH5715 are my meditationH7881.100I understandH995 more than the aged, because I have observed thy preceptsH6490.101I have refrained my feetH7272 from every evilH7451 pathH734, that I might keepH8104 thy wordH1697.102I have not departedH5493 from thy judgmentsH4941; for it is thou that hast taughtH3384 me.103HowH4100 sweet are thy *words unto my taste! more than honeyH1706 to my mouthH6310!104From thy preceptsH6490 I get understandingH995; thereforeH3651 I hateH8130 every false pathH734.105NUN. Thy wordH1697 is a lampH5216 unto my feetH7272, and a lightH216 unto my pathH5410.106I have swornH7650, and I will perform it, that I will keepH8104 thy righteous judgmentsH4941.107I am afflicted veryH3966 much; O Jehovah, quicken me according to thy wordH1697.108AcceptH7521, I beseech thee, Jehovah, the voluntary-offerings of my mouthH6310, and teachH3925 me thy judgmentsH4941.109My lifeH5315 is continuallyH8548 in my handH3709; but I do not forgetH7911 thy lawH8451.110The wickedH7563 have laid a snareH6341 for me; but I have not wanderedH8582 from thy preceptsH6490.111Thy testimoniesH5715 have I taken as a heritage for everH5769; for they are the rejoicing of my heartH3820.112I have inclinedH5186 my heartH3820 to perform thy statutesH2706 for everH5769, unto the endH6118.113SAMECH. The double-minded have I hatedH8130; but thy lawH8451 do I loveH157.114Thou art my hiding-place and my shieldH4043: I hopeH3176 in thy wordH1697.115DepartH5493 from me, ye evil-doers; and I will observeH5341 the commandmentsH4687 of my 1GodH430.116Uphold me according to thy *wordH565, that I may liveH2421; and let me not be ashamedH954 of my hopeH7664.117Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe; and I will have respect unto thy statutesH2706 continuallyH8548.118Thou hast set at nought all them that wander from thy statutesH2706; for their deceit is falsehoodH8267.119Thou puttest away all the wickedH7563 of the earthH776 [like] dross; thereforeH3651 I loveH157 thy testimonies.120My fleshH1320 shuddereth for fearH3372 of thee; and I am afraidH3372 of thy judgmentsH4941.121AIN. I have done judgmentH4941 and justiceH4941: leave me not to mine oppressorsH6231.122Be suretyH6148 for thy servantH5650 for goodH2896; let not the proud oppressH6231 me.123Mine eyesH5869 failH3615 for thy salvationH3444, and for the *wordH565 of thy righteousnessH6664.124Deal with thy servantH5650 according to thy loving-kindness, and teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.125I am thy servantH5650; giveH995 me understandingH995 that I may knowH3045 thy testimonies.126It is timeH6256 for Jehovah to work: they have madeH6213 void thy lawH8451.127ThereforeH3651 I loveH157 thy commandmentsH4687 above goldH2091, yea, above fine goldH2091.128ThereforeH3651 I regard all [thy] preceptsH6490 concerning all things to be right: I hateH8130 every false pathH734.129PE. Thy testimoniesH5715 are wonderful; thereforeH3651 doth my soulH5315 observeH5341 them.130The entrance of thy wordsH1697 giveth lightH215, giving understandingH995 unto the simple.131I openedH6473 my mouthH6310 wideH6473 and panted; for I longed for thy commandmentsH4687.132TurnH6437 unto me, and be gracious unto me, as thou art wont to do unto those that loveH157 thy nameH8034.133EstablishH3559 my steps in thy *wordH565; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.134Deliver me from the oppressionH6233 of manH120; and I will keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490.135MakeH215 thy faceH6440 to shineH215 upon thy servantH5650, and teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.136Mine eyesH5869 run down with streamsH6388 of waterH4325, because they keepH8104 not thy lawH8451.137TZADE. RighteousH6662 art thou, Jehovah, and uprightH3477 are thy judgmentsH4941.138Thou hast commandedH6680 thy testimonies in righteousnessH6664 and exceeding faithfulnessH530.139My zealH7068 destroyeth me, because mine oppressors have forgottenH7911 thy wordsH1697.140Thy *wordH565 is exceeding pure, and thy servantH5650 loveth it.141I am little and despisedH959: thy preceptsH6490 have I not forgottenH7911.142Thy righteousnessH6666 is an everlasting righteousnessH6666, and thy lawH8451 is truthH571.143Trouble and anguish have taken hold upon me: thy commandmentsH4687 are my delights.144The righteousnessH6664 of thy testimoniesH5715 is for everH5769: giveH995 me understandingH995, and I shall liveH2421.145KOPH. I have calledH7121 with [my] whole heartH3820; answerH6030 me, O Jehovah: I will observeH5341 thy statutesH2706.146I callH7121 upon thee; saveH3467 me, and I will keepH8104 thy testimonies.147I anticipate the morning-dawn and I cryH7768: I hopeH3176 in thy wordH1697.148Mine eyesH5869 anticipate the night-watches, that I may meditateH7878 in thy *wordH565.149HearH8085 my voiceH6963 according to thy loving-kindness: O Jehovah, quicken me according to thy judgmentH4941.150They have drawnH7126 nigh that follow after mischief: they are farH7368 from thy lawH8451.151Thou, Jehovah, art near, and all thy commandmentsH4687 are truthH571.152From thy testimonies, I have knownH3045 of old that thou hast foundedH3245 them for everH5769.153RESH. SeeH7200 mine affliction, and deliverH2502 me; for I have not forgottenH7911 thy lawH8451.154Plead my causeH7379, and redeemH1350 me: quicken me according to thy *wordH565.155SalvationH3444 is farH7350 from the wickedH7563; for they seekH1875 not thy statutesH2706.156ManyH7227 are thy tender mercies, O Jehovah; quicken me according to thy judgmentsH4941.157ManyH7227 are my persecutors and mine oppressors; I have not declined from thy testimoniesH5715.158I beheld them that dealH898 treacherouslyH898, and was grieved; because they keptH8104 not thy *wordH565.159SeeH7200 how I have lovedH157 thy preceptsH6490: quicken me, O Jehovah, according to thy loving-kindness.160The sum of thy wordH1697 is truthH571, and every righteous judgmentH4941 of thine is for everH5769.161SHIN. PrincesH8269 have persecuted me without a causeH2600; but my heartH3820 standeth in aweH6342 of thy wordH1697.162I have joy in thy *wordH565, as one that findeth greatH7227 spoilH7998.163I hateH8130 and abhorH8581 falsehoodH8267; thy lawH8451 do I loveH157.164SevenH7651 times a dayH3117 do I praiseH1984 thee because of thy righteous judgmentsH4941.165GreatH7227 peaceH7965 have they that loveH157 thy lawH8451, and nothingH369 doth stumble them.166I have hoped for thy salvationH3444, O Jehovah, and have done thy commandmentsH4687.167My soulH5315 hath keptH8104 thy testimonies, and I loveH157 them exceedinglyH3966.168I have keptH8104 thy preceptsH6490 and thy testimonies; for all my waysH1870 are before thee.169TAU. Let my cryH7440 come near before thee, Jehovah: giveH995 me understandingH995 according to thy wordH1697.170Let my supplicationH8467 comeH935 before thee: deliverH5337 me according to thy *wordH565.171My lipsH8193 shall pourH5042 forthH5042 praiseH8416 when thou hast taughtH3925 me thy statutesH2706.172My tongueH3956 shall speak aloud of thy *wordH565; for all thy commandmentsH4687 are righteousnessH6664.173Let thy handH3027 beH1961 for my helpH5826; for I have chosenH977 thy preceptsH6490.174I have longed for thy salvationH3444, O Jehovah, and thy lawH8451 is my delightH8191.175Let my soulH5315 liveH2421, and it shall praiseH1984 thee; and let thy judgmentsH4941 helpH5826 me.176I have goneH8582 astrayH8582 like a lost sheepH7716: seekH1245 thy servantH5650; for I have not forgottenH7911 thy commandmentsH4687.
