PSALM 119

The Law of The LORD

Alleluiah.

1Blessed are  the unblemished in the way; the ones going by the law of the lord. 2Blessed are  the ones searching out   his testimonies; with the entire heart they shall seek after him. 3[⁶not ¹For ²the ones ³practicing   ⁴lawlessness ⁸in   ⁹his ways ⁵were ⁷gone]. 4You gave charge   [²your commandments   ¹to keep] exceedingly. 5Ought that [²be straightened out   ¹my ways]   to keep   your ordinances; 6then in no way should I be ashamed in   my paying attention concerning all   of your commandments. 7I shall confess to you in uprightness of heart in   my learning the judgments   of your righteousness. 8  Your ordinances I will keep. You should not abandon me unto an exceeding amount. 9How shall [²keep straight ¹a younger man]   his way? by the keeping   of your words. 10With [²whole ³heart ¹my] I inquired of you; you should not thrust me from   your commandments. 11In   my heart I hid   your oracles, so that I should not sin against you. 12Blessed are you, O lord. Teach me   your ordinances! 13With   my lips I will declare all the judgments   of your mouth. 14[²in ³the ⁴way   ⁵of your testimonies ¹I delighted] as above all riches. 15In   your commandments I shall meditate; and I shall contemplate   your ways. 16[²in   ³your ordinances ¹I shall meditate]; I shall not forget   your words. 17Recompense to your servant! Enliven me! and I will keep   your words 18Uncover   my eyes! and I shall contemplate the wonders of   your law. 19[³a sojourner ¹I ²am] in the earth; you should not conceal from me   your commandments. 20[²longed   ¹My soul]   to desire   your judgments at every occasion. 21You reproached the proud; accursed are the ones turning aside from   your commandments. 22Remove from me scorn and contempt! for   [²of your testimonies ¹I inquired]. 23For even [²sat ¹rulers] and [²against ³me ¹spoke ill];   but your servant meditated in   your ordinances. 24For even   your testimonies [²my meditation ¹are]; and   [²are my advice   ¹your ordinances]. 25[²cleaved ³to the ⁴floor   ¹My soul]; let me live according to   your word! 26  My ways I declared, and you heeded me. Teach me   your ordinances! 27[³in the way ⁴of your ordinances ¹Bring understanding to ²me]! and I will meditate in   your wonders. 28[²slumbered   ¹My soul] from indifference. Firm me in   your words! 29[²the way ³of injustice ¹Remove] from me, and   [³by your law ¹show mercy ²to me]! 30The way of truth I took up, and   your judgments I did not forget. 31I cleaved to  your testimonies, O lord; you should not put me to shame. 32[²the way ³of your commandments ¹I ran], whenever you widened   my heart. 33Establish for me, O lord, the way   of your ordinances! and I will seek after them always. 34Bring understanding to me! and I will search out   your law, and I will guard it with [²whole ³heart ¹my]. 35Guide me in the road   of your commandments! for I wanted it. 36Lean   my heart unto   your testimonies, and not unto the desire for wealth! 37Turn   my eyes   to not behold folly! [³in   ⁴your way ¹Enliven ²me]! 38Establish to your servant   your oracle, so as to   fear you! 39Remove   my scorn! which I dreaded, for   your judgments are gracious. 40Behold, I desired   your commandments; [³in   ⁴your righteousness ¹enliven ²me]! 41And may [²come ³upon ⁴me   ¹your mercy], O lord; even your deliverance according to   your word. 42Then I shall answer to the ones berating against me in a matter, for I hoped upon   your words. 43For you should not remove from out of   my mouth the word of truth unto an exceeding amount; for upon   your judgments I raised hope. 44And I shall guard   your law always, into the eon, and into the eon of the eon. 45For I went into an enlargement; for   [²your commandments ¹I sought after]. 46And I spoke by   your testimonies before kings, and I was not ashamed. 47And I meditated in   your commandments which I loved very much. 48And I lifted   my hands to   your commandments which I loved; and I meditated in   your ordinances. 49Remember   your words to  your servant! which you raised my hope. 50This comforted me in   my humiliation; for   your oracle enlivened me. 51The proud acted unlawfully unto exceedingly; but from   your law I did not turn aside. 52I remembered   your judgments of the eon, O lord, and I was comforted. 53Depression held me down because of the sinners -- the ones abandoning   your law. 54[³as strummed chords of music ²were ⁴to me   ¹Your ordinances] in the place of my sojourn. 55I remembered [²in ³the night   ¹your name], O lord, and I kept   your law. 56This happened to me, for   [²your ordinances ¹I sought after]. 57[²my portion ¹You are], O lord. I spoke   concerning guarding   your law. 58I beseeched   your face with [²entire ³heart ¹my]. Show mercy on me according to   your oracle! 59I argued   your ways, and I turned   my feet to   your testimonies. 60I prepared myself, and was not disturbed   to keep   your commandments. 61The rough cords of sinners twist me, but   your law I did not forget. 62At midnight I awoke   to confess to you over the judgments   of your righteousness. 63[³a partner ¹I ²am] of all of the ones fearing you, and of the ones keeping   your commandments. 64  Of your mercy, O lord, [³is full ¹the ²earth];   [³your ordinances ¹teach ²me]! 65That which is good you did with   your servant, O lord, according to   your word. 66That which is good, and instruction, and knowledge, teach me! for   [²your commandments ¹I trusted]! 67Before   my being humbled, I committed trespasses; on account of this   [²your oracle ¹I guarded]. 68[²gracious ¹You are], O lord; and in   your graciousness teach me   your ordinances! 69[³was multiplied ⁴against ⁵me ¹The injustice ²of the proud]; but I [³with ⁵whole ⁶heart ⁴my ¹shall search out   ²your commandments]. 70[²was curdled ³as ⁴milk   ¹Their heart]; but I   [²your law ¹meditated upon]. 71It is good for me that you humbled me, so that I should learn   your ordinances. 72[⁴is good ⁵to me ¹The ²law   ³of your mouth], above a thousand pieces  of gold and silver. 73  Your hands made me, and shaped me. Bring understanding to me! and I shall learn   your commandments. 74The ones fearing you shall see me and shall be glad; for in   your words I raised hope. 75I knew, O lord, that [²are righteousness   ¹your judgments], and in truth you humbled me. 76Let [³be ²indeed   ¹your mercy]   to comfort me according to   your oracle to  your servant! 77Let [²come ³to me   ¹your compassions]! and I shall live; for   your law [²meditation ¹is my]. 78Let [²be shamed ¹the proud]! for unjustly they acted lawlessly against me. But I shall meditate in   your commandments. 79Turn towards me the ones fearing you, and the ones knowing   your testimonies! 80Let [²become   ¹my heart] unblemished in   your ordinances! so that I should not be shamed. 81[²is wanting ³for   ⁴your deliverance   ¹My soul]. In   your words I raised hope. 82[²failed   ¹My eyes] for   your oracle, saying, When will you comfort me? 83For I became as a leather bag in frost;   your ordinances I forgot not. 84How many are the days   of your servant? When will you execute for me [²against ³the ones ⁴pursuing ⁵me ¹a judgment]? 85[²described ⁴against me ¹Lawbreakers ³a meditation], but not according to   your law, O lord. 86All   your commandments are truth. [³unjustly ¹They pursued ²me]; help me! 87In a short time  they would have finished me off entirely in the earth, but I did not abandon   your commandments. 88According to   your mercy enliven me! and I shall guard the testimonies   of your mouth. 89Into the eon, O lord,   your word abides in the heaven. 90Unto generation and generation is your truth. You laid [³foundation ¹the ²earth's], and it abides. 91[³by  ⁴your disposition ²abides ¹The day]; for   all things [²subservient ¹are your]. 92Were it not that   your law [²my meditation ¹is], then would I have been destroyed in   my humiliation. 93[⁴into ⁵the ⁶eon ¹In no way ²should I forget   ³your ordinances]; for by them you enlivened me. 94[²yours ¹I am], deliver me! for   [²your ordinances ¹I sought after]. 95[³for me ²remained behind ¹Sinners],   to destroy me;   [²your testimonies ¹I perceived]. 96[³of every ⁴completion ¹I beheld ²the end]; [³spacious   ¹your commandment ²is exceedingly]. 97How I loved   your law, O lord; the entire   day [²meditation ¹it is my]. 98Above   my enemies you made me wiser   by your commandment; for into the eon it is to me. 99Above all the ones teaching me I perceived; for   your testimonies [²my meditation ¹are]. 100Above the elders I perceived; for   [²your commandments ¹I sought after]. 101From out of every [²way ¹evil] I restrained   my feet, so that I shall guard   your words. 102From   your judgments I did not turn aside; for you established law for me. 103How sweet to my throat are  your oracles; more than honey in  my mouth. 104By   your commandments I perceived; on account of this I detested every way of injustice. 105[²is a lamp ³unto  ⁴my feet   ¹Your law] and a light to  my paths. 106I swore by an oath, and stood   to guard the judgments   of your righteousness. 107I was humbled unto exceedingly, O lord; enliven me according to   your word! 108[³the ⁴voluntary offerings    ⁵of my mouth ¹Take pleasure ²indeed in], O lord, and   [³your judgments ¹teach ²me]! 109  My soul is in   your hands always; and   your law I forgot not. 110[²put ¹Sinners] a snare for me; but from   your commandments I wandered not. 111I inherited   your testimonies into the eon; for [²a leap for joy ³to  ⁴my heart ¹they are]. 112I leaned   my heart   to observe   your ordinances into the eon in remuneration. 113Lawbreakers I detested,   but your law I loved. 114[²my helper ³and ⁴my shielder ¹You are]; by   your words I raised hope. 115Turn aside from me O ones acting wicked! for I shall search out the commandments   of my God. 116Take hold of me according to   your oracle; and enliven me! for you should not put me to shame of   my expectation. 117Help me, and I shall be delivered! and I will meditate in   your ordinances always. 118[⁶treated me with contempt ¹All ²the ones ³defecting ⁴from   ⁵your ordinances]; for [²is unjust   ¹their thought]. 119[⁷as ones violating the law  ⁶I considered ¹All ²the ³sinners ⁴of the ⁵earth]; on account of this I loved   your testimonies. 120Nail up [²because of ³the ⁴fear ⁵of you   ¹my flesh]! for because of   your judgments I feared. 121I executed judgment and righteousness; you should not deliver me to the ones wronging me. 122Look out for   your servant for good; let not [²extort ³me ¹the proud]! 123  My eyes are wanting for   your deliverance, and for the oracle   of your righteousness. 124Do with   your servant according to   your mercy, and   [³your ordinances ¹teach ²me]! 125[²your servant ¹I am]; bring understanding to me! and I will make known   your testimonies. 126It is time   [³to act ¹for the ² lord]; they effaced   your law. 127On account of this I loved   your commandments above gold and topaz. 128On account of this [²to ³all   ⁴of your commandments ¹I kept straight]; every way of the unjust I detested. 129[²are wonderful   ¹Your testimonies]; on account of this [²searches them out   ¹my soul]. 130The manifestation   of your words shall give light, and bring understanding to simple ones. 131  [²my mouth ¹I opened] and drew breath; for   your commandments I longed after. 132Look upon me, and show mercy on me! according to the practice of the ones loving   your name. 133  [²my footsteps ¹Straighten out] according to   your oracle! and let there not dominate me any lawlessness! 134Ransom me from the extortion of men! and I will keep   your commandments. 135  [²your face ¹Let] appear unto   your servant, and teach me   your ordinances! 136Streams of waters flowed down   my eyes when I kept not   your law. 137You are just, O lord, and [²are straight   ¹your judgments]. 138You gave charge for righteousness   of your testimonies and truth -- exceedingly. 139[³wasted me away   ¹The zeal ²of you], for [²forgot   ³your words   ¹my enemies]. 140[³setting on fire   ¹Your oracle ²is an exceeding]; and   your servant loves it. 141[³younger ¹I ²am], and being treated with contempt;   [³your ordinances ¹I did not ²forget]. 142  Your righteousness is righteousness into the eon, and   your law is truth. 143Afflictions and distresses found me; your commandments are my meditation. 144[²are righteousness   ¹Your testimonies] into the eon. Bring understanding to me! and I shall live. 145I cried out with [²whole ³heart ¹my]. Heed me, O lord!   [²your ordinances ¹I will seek after]. 146I cried out to you; deliver me! and I will keep   your testimonies. 147I anticipated at midnight, and I cried out; in   your words I raised hope. 148[²anticipated   ¹My eyes] before dawn   to meditate upon   your oracles. 149  [²voice ¹Hear my], O lord, according to   your mercy! [³according to   ⁴your judgment ¹Enliven ²me]! 150[⁵draw near ¹The ones ²pursuing ³me ⁴lawlessly], [³from ¹and   ⁴your law ²they are far]. 151You are near, O lord, and all   your ways are truth. 152From ancient times  I knew of   your testimonies, that into the eon you founded them. 153Behold   my humiliation, and rescue me! for   [³your law ¹I did not ²forget]. 154Judge   my case, and ransom me! On account of   your word enliven me! 155[²is far ³from ⁴sinners ¹Deliverance], for   [³your ordinances ¹they did not ²seek after]. 156  Your compassions are many, O lord; according to   your judgment enliven me! 157Many are the ones driving me out and afflicting me; from   your testimonies I did not turn aside. 158I beheld ones lacking sense and wasting away, for   [²your oracles ¹they kept not]. 159Behold! for   [²your commandments ¹I loved], O lord; in   your mercy enliven me! 160The beginning   of your words is truth; and into the eon are all the judgments   of your righteousness. 161Rulers pursued me without charge; and from   your words [²was timid   ¹my heart]. 162I shall exult over   your oracles, as   one finding [²spoils ¹many]. 163Injustice I detested and abhorred;   but your law I loved. 164Seven times   a day I praised you over the judgments   of your righteousness. 165[²peace ¹Great] is to the ones loving   your law, and there is no obstacle to them. 166I expected   your deliverance, O lord, and   [²your commandments ¹loved]. 167[²guarded   ¹My soul]   your testimonies, and it loved them very much. 168I kept   your commandments and   your testimonies, for all   my ways are before you, O lord. 169Let [²approach   ¹my supplication] before you, O lord! according to   your oracle bring understanding to me! 170May [³enter   ¹that which is fit ²of me] before you, O lord; according to   your oracle rescue me! 171[²discharged forth   ¹My lips] a hymn, whenever you should teach me   your ordinances. 172May [²utter the sound   ¹my tongue]   of your oracles, for all   your commandments are righteousness. 173Let [²be   ¹your hand]   to deliver me! for   [²your commandments ¹I took up]. 174I longed after   your deliverance, O lord, and   your law [²my meditation ¹is]. 175[²shall live   ¹My soul], and it shall praise you; and   your judgments shall help me. 176I wandered as a sheep perishing. Seek   your servant! for   your commandments I did not forget.
