| # Chapter 119
| ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.
| Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
| They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
| Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
| O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
| Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect to all thy commandments.
| I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
| I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
| BETH. Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed to it, according to thy word.
| With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
| Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.
| Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.
| With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
| I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.
| I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect to thy ways.
| I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
| GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.
| Open thou my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
| I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
| My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath to thy judgments at all times.
| Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, who do err from thy commandments.
| Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.
| Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.
| Thy testimonies also are my delight, and my counselors.
| DALETH. My soul cleaveth to the dust: revive thou me according to thy word.
| I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.
| Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
| My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according to thy word.
| Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.
| I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.
| I have adhered to thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.
| I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
| HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it to the end.
| Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yes, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
| Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for in that do I delight.
| Incline my heart to thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
| Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity; and revive thou me in thy way.
| Establish thy word to thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.
| Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.
| Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: revive me in thy righteousness.
| VAU. Let thy mercies come also to me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.
| So shall I have with which to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.
| And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.
| So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.
| And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
| I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.
| And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.
| My hands also will I lift to thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.
| ZAIN. Remember the word to thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
| This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath revived me.
| The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet I have not declined from thy law.
| I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.
| Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
| Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
| I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.
| This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
| CHETH. Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.
| I entreated thy favor with my whole heart: be merciful to me according to thy word.
| I thought on my ways, and turned my feet to thy testimonies.
| I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.
| The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.
| At midnight I will rise to give thanks to thee, because of thy righteous judgments.
| I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
| The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
| TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according to thy word.
| Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
| Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.
| Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
| The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
| Their heart is as gross as fat; but I delight in thy law.
| It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
| The law of thy mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver.
| JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
| They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.
| I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
| Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word to thy servant.
| Let thy tender mercies come to me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
| Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
| Let those that fear thee turn to me, and those that have known thy testimonies.
| Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I may not be ashamed.
| CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
| My eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
| For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet I do not forget thy statutes.
| How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
| The proud have digged pits for me, which are not according to thy law.
| All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
| They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
| Revive me after thy loving-kindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
| LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
| Thy faithfulness is to all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
| They continue this day according to thy ordinances: for all are thy servants.
| Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in my affliction.
| I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast revived me.
| I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.
| The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.
| I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.
| MEM. O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day.

| NUN. Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.
| I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
| I am afflicted very much: revive me, O LORD, according to thy word.
| Accept, I beseech thee, the free-will-offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.
| My soul is continually in my hand: yet I do not forget thy law.
| The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.
| Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
| I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes always, even to the end.
| SAMECH. I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.
| Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
| Depart from me, ye evil-doers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
| Uphold me according to thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
| Support me, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect to thy statutes continually.
| Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.
| Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.
| My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
| AIN. I have done judgment and justice; leave me not to my oppressors.

| Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.
| I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.
| It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.
| Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yes, above fine gold.
| Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.
| PE. Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
| The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding to the simple.
| I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
| Look thou upon me, and be merciful to me, as thou usest to do to those that love thy name.
| Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
| Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
| Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: and teach me thy statutes.
| Rivers of waters run down my eyes, because they keep not thy law.
| TSADDI. Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.
| Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.
| My zeal hath consumed me; because my enemies have forgotten thy words.
| Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
| I am small and despised: yet I do not forget thy precepts.
| Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
| Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.
| The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.
| KOPH. I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes.
| I cried to thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.
| I came before the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.
| My eyes anticipated the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
| Hear my voice, according to thy loving-kindness: O LORD, revive me according to thy judgment.
| They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
| Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.
| Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
| RESH. Consider my affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.
| Plead my cause, and deliver me: revive me according to thy word.
| Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.

| Consider how I love thy precepts: revive me, O LORD, according to thy loving-kindness.
| Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
| SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause; but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
| I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
| I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.
| Seven times a day do I praise thee, because of thy righteous judgments.
| Great peace have they who love thy law: and nothing shall cause them to stumble.
| LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and performed thy commandments.
| My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
| I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee.
| TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word.
