Psalms 119:7-175

7I will 1give thanks to You with uprightness of heart, When I learn Your righteous judgments.8I will keep Your statutes; Do not utterly 2abandon me!

9How can a young man keep his way pure? By 3keeping it according to Your word.10With 4all my heart I have sought You; Do not let me 5wander from Your commandments.11I have 6treasured Your word in my heart, So that I may not sin against You.12Blessed are You, Lord; 7Teach me Your statutes.13With my lips I have 8told of All the 9ordinances of Your mouth.14I have 10rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, 11As much as in all riches.15I will 12meditate on Your precepts And 13regard 14Your ways.16I shall 1516delight in Your statutes; I will 17not forget Your word.

1718Deal generously with Your servant, That I may live and keep Your word.18Open my eyes, that I may behold Wonderful things from Your Law.19I am a 19stranger on the earth; Do not hide Your commandments from me.20My soul is crushed 2021with longing For Your ordinances at all times.21You 22rebuke the arrogant, 23the 24cursed, Who 25wander from Your commandments.2226Take disgrace and contempt away from me, For I 27comply with Your testimonies.23Even though 28rulers sit and speak against me, Your servant 29meditates on Your statutes.24Your testimonies also are my 30delight; They are 31my advisers.

25My 32soul clings to the dust; 33Revive me 34according to Your word.26I have told of my ways, and You have answered me; 35Teach me Your statutes.27Make me understand the way of Your precepts, And I will 36meditate on Your wonders.28My 37soul 38weeps because of grief; 39Strengthen me according to Your word.29Remove the false way from me, And graciously grant me Your Law.30I have chosen the faithful way; I have 40placed Your judgments before me.31I 41cling to Your testimonies; Lord, do not put me to shame!32I shall run the way of Your commandments, For You will 42enlarge my heart.

3343Teach me, the way of Your statutes, Lord, And I shall comply with it to the end.3444Give me understanding, so that I may 45comply with Your Law And keep it 46with all my heart.35Make me walk in the 47path of Your commandments, For I 48delight in it.3649Incline my heart to Your testimonies, And not to 50dishonest gain.37Turn my 51eyes away from looking at what is worthless, And 52revive me in Your ways.3853Establish Your 54word to Your servant 55As that which produces reverence for You.3956Take away my disgrace which I dread, For Your judgments are good.40Behold, I 57long for Your precepts; Revive me through Your righteousness.

41May Your 58favor also come to me, Lord, Your salvation 59according to Your 60word;42So that I will have an 61answer for one who 62taunts me, For I trust in Your word.43And do not take the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, For I 6364wait for Your judgments.44So I will 65keep Your Law continually, Forever and ever.45And I will 66walk 67at liberty, For I 68seek Your precepts.46I will also speak of Your testimonies 69before kings And shall not be ashamed.47I will 70delight in Your commandments, Which I 71love.48And I shall lift up my hands to Your commandments, Which I 72love; And I will 73meditate on Your statutes.

49Remember the word to Your servant, 74In which You have made me hope.50This is my 75comfort in my misery, That Your word has 76revived me.51The arrogant 77utterly deride me, Yet I do not 78turn aside from Your Law.52I have 79remembered Your judgments from 80of old, Lord, And comfort myself.53Burning 81indignation has seized me because of the wicked, Who 82abandon Your Law.54Your statutes are my songs In the house of my 83pilgrimage.55Lord, I 84remember Your name 85in the night, And keep Your Law.56This has become mine, 86That I 87comply with Your precepts.

57The Lord is my 88portion; I have 89promised to 90keep Your words.58I 91sought Your favor 92with all my heart; 93Be gracious to me 94according to Your 95word.59I 96considered my ways And turned my feet to Your testimonies.60I hurried and did not delay To keep Your commandments.61The 97snares of the wicked have surrounded me, But I have 98not forgotten Your Law.62At 99midnight I will rise to give thanks to You Because of Your 100righteous judgments.63I am a 101companion to all those who 102fear You, And to those who keep Your precepts.64103The earth is full of Your goodness, Lord; 104Teach me Your statutes.

65You have treated Your servant well, Lord, according to Your word.66Teach me good 105106discernment and knowledge, For I believe in Your commandments.67107Before I was afflicted I went astray, But now I keep Your word.68You are 108good and You 109do good; 110Teach me Your statutes.69The arrogant 111have 112forged a lie against me; With all my heart I will 113comply with Your precepts.70Their heart is 114insensitive, like fat, But I 115delight in Your Law.71It is 116good for me that I was afflicted, So that I may learn Your statutes.72The 117Law of Your mouth is better to me Than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

73118Your hands made me and 119fashioned me; 120Give me understanding, so that I may learn Your commandments.74May those who 121fear You 122see me and be glad, Because I 123124wait for Your word.75I know, Lord, that Your judgments are 125righteous, And that You have afflicted me 126in faithfulness.76May Your favor 127comfort me, According to Your 128word to Your servant.77May 129Your compassion come to me so that I may live, For Your Law is my 130delight.78May 131the arrogant be put to shame, because they lead me astray 132with a lie; But I shall 133meditate on Your precepts.79May those who 134fear You turn to me, And those who know Your testimonies.80May my heart be 135136blameless in Your statutes, So that I will not 137be ashamed.

81My 138soul languishes for Your salvation; I 139140wait for Your word.82My 141eyes fail with longing for Your 142word, 143While I say, “When will You comfort me?”83Though I have 144become like a wineskin in the smoke, I do 145not forget Your statutes.84How many are the 146days of Your servant? When will You 147execute judgment on those who persecute me?85The arrogant have 148dug pits for me, People who are not in accord with Your Law.86All Your commandments are 149faithful; They have 150persecuted me with a lie; 151help me!87They almost destroyed me on earth, But as for me, I 152did not abandon Your precepts.88Revive me according to Your faithfulness, So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth.

89153Forever, Lord, Your word stands in heaven.90Your 154faithfulness continues 155throughout generations; You 156established the earth, and it 157stands.91They stand this day by Your 158ordinances, For 159all things are Your servants.92If Your Law had not been my 160delight, Then I would have perished 161in my misery.93I will 162never forget Your precepts, For by them You have 163164revived me.94I am Yours, 165save me; For I have 166sought Your precepts.95The wicked 167wait for me to destroy me; I will diligently consider Your testimonies.96I have seen 168a limit to all perfection; Your commandment is exceedingly broad.

97How I 169love Your Law! It is my 170meditation all the day.98Your 171commandments make me wiser than my enemies, For they are ever 172mine.99I have more insight than all my teachers, For Your testimonies are my 173meditation.100I understand 174more than those who are old, Because I have 175complied with Your precepts.101I have 176restrained my feet from every evil way, So that I may keep Your word.102I have not 177turned aside from Your judgments, For You Yourself have taught me.103How 178sweet are Your 179words to my 180taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!104From Your precepts I 181get understanding; Therefore I 182hate every false way.

105Your word is a 183lamp to my feet And a light to my path.106I have 184sworn and I will confirm it, That I will keep Your righteous judgments.107I am exceedingly 185afflicted; 186187Revive me, Lord, according to Your word.108Be pleased to accept the 188189voluntary offerings of my mouth, Lord, And 190teach me Your judgments.109My 191192life is continually 193in my hand, Yet I do not 194forget Your Law.110The wicked have 195set a 196trap for me, Yet I have not 197wandered from Your precepts.111I have 198inherited Your testimonies forever, For they are the 199joy of my heart.112I have 200inclined my heart to perform Your statutes Forever, even 201to the end.

113I hate those who are 202double-minded, But I love Your 203Law.114You are my 204hiding place and my 205shield; I 206207wait for Your word.115208Leave me, you evildoers, So that I may 209comply with the commandments of my God.116210Sustain me according to Your 211word, that I may live; And 212do not let me be 213ashamed of my hope.117Sustain me so that I may be 214safe, That I may 215have regard for Your statutes continually.118You have 216rejected all those 217who stray from Your statutes, For their deceitfulness is 218useless.119You have 219removed all the wicked of the earth like 220221impurities; Therefore I 222love Your testimonies.120My flesh 223224trembles from the fear of You, And I am 225afraid of Your judgments.

121I have 226done justice and righteousness; Do not leave me to my oppressors.122Be 227a guarantor for Your servant for good; Do not let the arrogant 228oppress me.123My 229eyes fail with longing for Your salvation, And for Your righteous 230word.124Deal with Your servant 231according to Your graciousness, And 232teach me Your statutes.125233I am Your servant; 234give me understanding, So that I may know Your testimonies.126It is time for the Lord to 235act, For they have broken Your Law.127Therefore I 236love Your commandments Above gold, yes, above pure gold.128Therefore I carefully follow all Your 237precepts concerning everything, I 238hate every false way.

129Your testimonies are 239wonderful; Therefore my soul 240complies with them.130The 241unfolding of Your words gives light; It gives 242understanding to the simple.131I 243opened my mouth wide and 244panted, For I 245longed for Your commandments.132246Turn to me and be gracious to me, As is right for those who love Your name.133Establish my 247footsteps in Your 248word, And do not let any 249wrongdoing 250have power over me.134251Redeem me from oppression by man, So that I may keep Your precepts.135252Make Your face shine upon Your servant, And 253teach me Your statutes.136My eyes 254shed 255streams of water, Because they 256do not keep Your Law.

137257You are righteous, Lord, And Your judgments are right.138You have commanded Your testimonies in 258righteousness And great 259faithfulness.139My 260zeal has 261consumed me, Because my enemies have forgotten Your words.140Your 262word is very 263pure, Therefore Your servant 264loves it.141I am small and 265despised, Yet I do not 266forget Your precepts.142Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And 267Your Law is truth.143Trouble and anguish have 268come upon me, Yet Your commandments are my 269delight.144Your 270testimonies are righteous forever; 271Give me understanding that I may live.

145I cried out 272with all my heart; answer me, Lord! I will 273comply with Your statutes.146I cried to You; 274save me And I shall keep Your testimonies.147I 275276rise before dawn and cry for help; I 277wait for Your words.148My eyes anticipate the 278night watches, So that I may 279meditate on Your 280word.149Hear my voice 281according to Your faithfulness; 282Revive me, Lord, according to Your judgments.150Those who follow after wickedness approach; They are far from Your Law.151You are 283near, Lord, And all Your commandments are 284truth.152From long ago I have 285known from Your testimonies That You have founded them 286forever.

153287Look at my 288affliction and rescue me, For I have not 289forgotten Your Law.154290Plead my cause and 291redeem me; Revive me according to Your 292word.155Salvation is 293far from the wicked, For they 294do not seek Your statutes.156295296Great are Your mercies, Lord; Revive me according to Your judgments.157Many are my 297persecutors and my enemies, Yet I do not 298turn aside from Your testimonies.158I see the 299treacherous and 300loathe them, Because they do not keep Your word.159Consider how I 301love Your precepts; 302Revive me, Lord, according to Your faithfulness.160The 303sum of Your word is 304truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments 305is everlasting.

161306Rulers persecute me without cause, But my heart 307stands in awe of Your words.162I 308rejoice at Your 309word, Like one who 310finds great plunder.163I 311hate and loathe falsehood, But I 312love Your Law.164Seven times a day I praise You Because of Your 313righteous judgments.165Those who love Your Law have 314great peace, And 315316nothing causes them to stumble.166I 317hope for Your salvation, Lord, And do Your commandments.167My 318soul keeps Your testimonies, And I 319love them exceedingly.168I 320keep Your precepts and Your testimonies, For all my 321ways are before You.
