Psalms 119 (kjv)

ALEPH. Blessed^H835 are the undefiled^H8549 in the way^H1870, who walk^H1980 in the law^H8451 of the LORD^H3068.

²Blessed^H835 are they that keep^H5341 his testimonies^H5713, and that seek^H1875 him with the whole heart^H3820.³They also do^H6466 no iniquity^H5766: they walk^H1980 in his ways^H1870.⁴Thou hast commanded^H6680 us to keep^H8104 thy precepts^H6490 diligently^H3966.⁵O that^H305 my ways^H1870 were directed^H3559 to keep^H8104 thy statutes^H2706!⁶Then shall I not be ashamed^H954, when I have respect^H5027 unto all thy commandments^H4687.⁷I will praise^H3034 thee with uprightness^H3476 of heart^H3824, when I shall have learned^H3925 thy righteous^H6664 judgments^H4941.⁸I will keep^H8104 thy statutes^H2706: O forsake^H5800 me not utterly^H3966.

⁹BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man^H5288 cleanse^H2135 his way^H734? by taking heed^H8104 thereto according to thy word^H1697.¹⁰With my whole heart^H3820 have I sought^H1875 thee: O let me not wander^H7686 from thy commandments^H4687.¹¹Thy word^H565 have I hid^H6845 in mine heart^H3820, that I might not sin^H2398 against thee.¹²Blessed^H1288 art thou, O LORD^H3068: teach^H3925 me thy statutes^H2706.¹³With my lips^H8193 have I declared^H5608 all the judgments^H4941 of thy mouth^H6310.¹⁴I have rejoiced^H7797 in the way^H1870 of thy testimonies^H5715, as much as in^H5921 all riches^H1952.¹⁵I will meditate^H7878 in thy precepts^H6490, and have respect^H5027 unto thy ways^H734.¹⁶I will delight^H8173 myself in thy statutes^H2708: I will not forget^H7911 thy word^H1697.

¹⁷GIMEL. Deal bountifully^H1580 with thy servant^H5650, that I may live^H2421, and keep^H8104 thy word^H1697.¹⁸Open^H1540 thou mine eyes^H5869, that I may behold^H5027 wondrous things^H6381 out of thy law^H8451.¹⁹I am a stranger^H1616 in the earth^H776: hide^H5641 not thy commandments^H4687 from me.²⁰My soul^H5315 breaketh^H1638 for the longing^H8375 that it hath unto thy judgments^H4941 at all times^H6256.²¹Thou hast rebuked^H1605 the proud^H2086 that are cursed^H779, which do err^H7686 from thy commandments^H4687.²²Remove^H1556 from me reproach^H2781 and contempt^H937; for I have kept^H5341 thy testimonies^H5713.²³Princes^H8269 also did sit^H3427 and speak^H1696 against me: but thy servant^H5650 did meditate^H7878 in thy statutes^H2706.²⁴Thy testimonies^H5713 also are my delight^H8191 and my counsellors^{H582 H6098}.

²⁵DALETH. My soul^H5315 cleaveth^H1692 unto the dust^H6083: quicken^H2421 thou me according to thy word^H1697.²⁶I have declared^H5608 my ways^H1870, and thou heardest^H6030 me: teach^H3925 me thy statutes^H2706.²⁷Make me to understand^H995 the way^H1870 of thy precepts^H6490: so shall I talk^H7878 of thy wondrous works^H6381.²⁸My soul^H5315 melteth^H1811 for heaviness^H8424: strengthen^H6965 thou me according unto thy word^H1697.²⁹Remove^H5493 from me the way^H1870 of lying^H8267: and grant me thy law^H8451 graciously^H2603.³⁰I have chosen^H977 the way^H1870 of truth^H530: thy judgments^H4941 have I laid^H7737 before me.³¹I have stuck^H1692 unto thy testimonies^H5715: O LORD^H3068, put me not to shame^H954.³²I will run^H7323 the way^H1870 of thy commandments^H4687, when thou shalt enlarge^H7337 my heart^H3820.

³³HE. Teach^H3384 me, O LORD^H3068, the way^H1870 of thy statutes^H2706; and I shall keep^H5341 it unto the end^H6118.³⁴Give me understanding^H995, and I shall keep^H5341 thy law^H8451; yea, I shall observe^H8104 it with my whole heart^H3820.³⁵Make me to go^H1869 in the path^H5410 of thy commandments^H4687; for therein do I delight^H2654.³⁶Incline^H5186 my heart^H3820 unto thy testimonies^H5715, and not to covetousness^H1215.³⁷Turn away^H5674 mine eyes^H5869 from beholding^H7200 vanity^H7723; and quicken^H2421 thou me in thy way^H1870.³⁸Stablish^H6965 thy word^H565 unto thy servant^H5650, who is devoted to thy fear^H3374.³⁹Turn away^H5674 my reproach^H2781 which I fear^H3025: for thy judgments^H4941 are good^H2896.⁴⁰Behold, I have longed^H8373 after thy precepts^H6490: quicken^H2421 me in thy righteousness^H6666.

⁴¹VAU. Let thy mercies^H2617 come^H935 also unto me, O LORD^H3068, even thy salvation^H8668, according to thy word^H565.⁴²So shall I have wherewith^H1697 to answer^H6030 him that reproacheth^H2778 me: for I trust^H982 in thy word^H1697.⁴³And take^H5337 not the word^H1697 of truth^H571 utterly^H3966 out of my mouth^H6310; for I have hoped^H3176 in thy judgments^H4941.⁴⁴So shall I keep^H8104 thy law^H8451 continually^H8548 for ever^H5769 and ever^H5703.⁴⁵And I will walk^H1980 at liberty^H7342: for I seek^H1875 thy precepts^H6490.⁴⁶I will speak^H1696 of thy testimonies^H5713 also before kings^H4428, and will not be ashamed^H954.⁴⁷And I will delight^H8173 myself in thy commandments^H4687, which I have loved^H157.⁴⁸My hands^H3709 also will I lift up^H5375 unto thy commandments^H4687, which I have loved^H157; and I will meditate^H7878 in thy statutes^H2706.

⁴⁹ZAIN. Remember^H2142 the word^H1697 unto thy servant^H5650, upon which thou hast caused me to hope^H3176.⁵⁰This is my comfort^H5165 in my affliction^H6040: for thy word^H565 hath quickened^H2421 me.⁵¹The proud^H2086 have had me greatly^H3966 in derision^H3887: yet have I not declined^H5186 from thy law^H8451.⁵²I remembered^H2142 thy judgments^H4941 of old^H5769, O LORD^H3068; and have comforted^H5162 myself.⁵³Horror^H2152 hath taken hold^H270 upon me because of the wicked^H7563 that forsake^H5800 thy law^H8451.⁵⁴Thy statutes^H2706 have been my songs^H2158 in the house^H1004 of my pilgrimage^H4033.⁵⁵I have remembered^H2142 thy name^H8034, O LORD^H3068, in the night^H3915, and have kept^H8104 thy law^H8451.⁵⁶This I had, because I kept^H5341 thy precepts^H6490.

⁵⁷CHETH. Thou art my portion^H2506, O LORD^H3068: I have said^H559 that I would keep^H8104 thy words^H1697.⁵⁸I intreated^H2470 thy favour^H6440 with my whole heart^H3820: be merciful^H2603 unto me according to thy word^H565.⁵⁹I thought^H2803 on my ways^H1870, and turned^H7725 my feet^H7272 unto thy testimonies^H5713.⁶⁰I made haste^H2363, and delayed^H4102 not to keep^H8104 thy commandments^H4687.⁶¹The bands^H2256 of the wicked^H7563 have robbed^H5749 me: but I have not forgotten^H7911 thy law^H8451.⁶²At midnight^{H2676 H3915} I will rise^H6965 to give thanks^H3034 unto thee because of thy righteous^H6664 judgments^H4941.⁶³I am a companion^H2270 of all them that fear^H3372 thee, and of them that keep^H8104 thy precepts^H6490.⁶⁴The earth^H776, O LORD^H3068, is full^H4390 of thy mercy^H2617: teach^H3925 me thy statutes^H2706.

⁶⁵TETH. Thou hast dealt^H6213 well^H2896 with thy servant^H5650, O LORD^H3068, according unto thy word^H1697.⁶⁶Teach^H3925 me good^H2898 judgment^H2940 and knowledge^H1847: for I have believed^H539 thy commandments^H4687.⁶⁷Before I was afflicted^H6031 I went astray^H7683: but now have I kept^H8104 thy word^H565.⁶⁸Thou art good^H2896, and doest good^H2895; teach^H3925 me thy statutes^H2706.⁶⁹The proud^H2086 have forged^H2950 a lie^H8267 against me: but I will keep^H5341 thy precepts^H6490 with my whole heart^H3820.⁷⁰Their heart^H3820 is as fat^H2954 as grease^H2459; but I delight^H8173 in thy law^H8451.⁷¹It is good^H2896 for me that I have been afflicted^H6031; that I might learn^H3925 thy statutes^H2706.⁷²The law^H8451 of thy mouth^H6310 is better^H2896 unto me than thousands^H505 of gold^H2091 and silver^H3701.

⁷³JOD. Thy hands^H3027 have made^H6213 me and fashioned^H3559 me: give me understanding^H995, that I may learn^H3925 thy commandments^H4687.⁷⁴They that fear^H3373 thee will be glad^H8055 when they see^H7200 me; because I have hoped^H3176 in thy word^H1697.⁷⁵I know^H3045, O LORD^H3068, that thy judgments^H4941 are right^H6664, and that thou in faithfulness^H530 hast afflicted^H6031 me.⁷⁶Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness^H2617 be for my comfort^H5162, according to thy word^H565 unto thy servant^H5650.⁷⁷Let thy tender mercies^H7356 come^H935 unto me, that I may live^H2421: for thy law^H8451 is my delight^H8191.⁷⁸Let the proud^H2086 be ashamed^H954; for they dealt perversely^H5791 with me without a cause^H8267: but I will meditate^H7878 in thy precepts^H6490.⁷⁹Let those that fear^H3373 thee turn^H7725 unto me, and those that have known^{H3045 H3045} thy testimonies^H5713.⁸⁰Let my heart^H3820 be sound^H8549 in thy statutes^H2706; that I be not ashamed^H954.

⁸¹CAPH. My soul^H5315 fainteth^H3615 for thy salvation^H8668: but I hope^H3176 in thy word^H1697.⁸²Mine eyes^H5869 fail^H3615 for thy word^H565, saying^H559, When wilt thou comfort^H5162 me?⁸³For I am become like a bottle^H4997 in the smoke^H7008; yet do I not forget^H7911 thy statutes^H2706.⁸⁴How many are the days^H3117 of thy servant^H5650? when wilt thou execute^H6213 judgment^H4941 on them that persecute^H7291 me?⁸⁵The proud^H2086 have digged^H3738 pits^H7882 for me, which are not after thy law^H8451.⁸⁶All thy commandments^H4687 are faithful^H530: they persecute^H7291 me wrongfully^H8267; help^H5826 thou me.⁸⁷They had almost^H4592 consumed^H3615 me upon earth^H776; but I forsook^H5800 not thy precepts^H6490.⁸⁸Quicken^H2421 me after thy lovingkindness^H2617; so shall I keep^H8104 the testimony^H5715 of thy mouth^H6310.

⁸⁹LAMED. For ever^H5769, O LORD^H3068, thy word^H1697 is settled^H5324 in heaven^H8064.⁹⁰Thy faithfulness^H530 is unto all^H1755 generations^H1755: thou hast established^H3559 the earth^H776, and it abideth^H5975.⁹¹They continue^H5975 this day^H3117 according to thine ordinances^H4941: for all are thy servants^H5650.⁹²Unless^H3884 thy law^H8451 had been my delights^H8191, I should then have perished^H6 in mine affliction^H6040.⁹³I will never^H5769 forget^H7911 thy precepts^H6490: for with them thou hast quickened^H2421 me.⁹⁴I am thine, save^H3467 me; for I have sought^H1875 thy precepts^H6490.⁹⁵The wicked^H7563 have waited^H6960 for me to destroy^H6 me: but I will consider^H995 thy testimonies^H5713.⁹⁶I have seen^H7200 an end^H7093 of all perfection^H8502: but thy commandment^H4687 is exceeding^H3966 broad^H7342.

⁹⁷MEM. O how love I^H157 thy law^H8451! it is my meditation^H7881 all the day^H3117.⁹⁸Thou through thy commandments^H4687 hast made me wiser^H2449 than mine enemies^H341: for they are ever^H5769 with me.⁹⁹I have more understanding^H7919 than all my teachers^H3925: for thy testimonies^H5715 are my meditation^H7881.¹⁰⁰I understand^H995 more than the ancients^H2205, because I keep^H5341 thy precepts^H6490.¹⁰¹I have refrained^H3607 my feet^H7272 from every evil^H7451 way^H734, that I might keep^H8104 thy word^H1697.¹⁰²I have not departed^H5493 from thy judgments^H4941: for thou hast taught^H3384 me.¹⁰³How sweet^H4452 are thy words^H565 unto my taste^H2441! yea, sweeter than honey^H1706 to my mouth^H6310!¹⁰⁴Through thy precepts^H6490 I get understanding^H995: therefore I hate^H8130 every false^H8267 way^H734.

¹⁰⁵NUN. Thy word^H1697 is a lamp^H5216 unto my feet^H7272, and a light^H216 unto my path^H5410.¹⁰⁶I have sworn^H7650, and I will perform^H6965 it, that I will keep^H8104 thy righteous^H6664 judgments^H4941.¹⁰⁷I am afflicted^H6031 very much^H3966: quicken^H2421 me, O LORD^H3068, according unto thy word^H1697.¹⁰⁸Accept^H7521, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings^H5071 of my mouth^H6310, O LORD^H3068, and teach^H3925 me thy judgments^H4941.¹⁰⁹My soul^H5315 is continually^H8548 in my hand^H3709: yet do I not forget^H7911 thy law^H8451.¹¹⁰The wicked^H7563 have laid^H5414 a snare^H6341 for me: yet I erred^H8582 not from thy precepts^H6490.¹¹¹Thy testimonies^H5715 have I taken as an heritage^H5157 for ever^H5769: for they are the rejoicing^H8342 of my heart^H3820.¹¹²I have inclined^H5186 mine heart^H3820 to perform^H6213 thy statutes^H2706 alway^H5769, even unto the end^H6118.

¹¹³SAMECH. I hate^H8130 vain thoughts^H5588: but thy law^H8451 do I love^H157.¹¹⁴Thou art my hiding place^H5643 and my shield^H4043: I hope^H3176 in thy word^H1697.¹¹⁵Depart^H5493 from me, ye evildoers^H7489: for I will keep^H5341 the commandments^H4687 of my God^H430.¹¹⁶Uphold^H5564 me according unto thy word^H565, that I may live^H2421: and let me not be ashamed^H954 of my hope^H7664.¹¹⁷Hold thou me up^H5582, and I shall be safe^H3467: and I will have respect^H8159 unto thy statutes^H2706 continually^H8548.¹¹⁸Thou hast trodden down^H5541 all them that err^H7686 from thy statutes^H2706: for their deceit^H8649 is falsehood^H8267.¹¹⁹Thou puttest away^H7673 all the wicked^H7563 of the earth^H776 like dross^H5509: therefore I love^H157 thy testimonies^H5713.¹²⁰My flesh^H1320 trembleth^H5568 for fear^H6343 of thee; and I am afraid^H3372 of thy judgments^H4941.

¹²¹AIN. I have done^H6213 judgment^H4941 and justice^H6664: leave^H3240 me not to mine oppressors^H6231.¹²²Be surety^H6148 for thy servant^H5650 for good^H2896: let not the proud^H2086 oppress^H6231 me.¹²³Mine eyes^H5869 fail^H3615 for thy salvation^H3444, and for the word^H565 of thy righteousness^H6664.¹²⁴Deal^H6213 with thy servant^H5650 according unto thy mercy^H2617, and teach^H3925 me thy statutes^H2706.¹²⁵I am thy servant^H5650; give me understanding^H995, that I may know^H3045 thy testimonies^H5713.¹²⁶It is time^H6256 for thee, LORD^H3068, to work^H6213: for they have made void^H6565 thy law^H8451.¹²⁷Therefore I love^H157 thy commandments^H4687 above gold^H2091; yea, above fine gold^H6337.¹²⁸Therefore I esteem all thy precepts^H6490 concerning all things to be right^H3474; and I hate^H8130 every false^H8267 way^H734.

¹²⁹PE. Thy testimonies^H5715 are wonderful^H6382: therefore doth my soul^H5315 keep^H5341 them.¹³⁰The entrance^H6608 of thy words^H1697 giveth light^H215; it giveth understanding^H995 unto the simple^H6612.¹³¹I opened^H6473 my mouth^H6310, and panted^H7602: for I longed^H2968 for thy commandments^H4687.¹³²Look^H6437 thou upon me, and be merciful^H2603 unto me, as thou usest^H4941 to do unto those that love^H157 thy name^H8034.¹³³Order^H3559 my steps^H6471 in thy word^H565: and let not any iniquity^H205 have dominion^H7980 over me.¹³⁴Deliver^H6299 me from the oppression^H6233 of man^H120: so will I keep^H8104 thy precepts^H6490.¹³⁵Make thy face^H6440 to shine^H215 upon thy servant^H5650; and teach^H3925 me thy statutes^H2706.¹³⁶Rivers^H6388 of waters^H4325 run down^H3381 mine eyes^H5869, because they keep^H8104 not thy law^H8451.

¹³⁷TZADDI. Righteous^H6662 art thou, O LORD^H3068, and upright^H3477 are thy judgments^H4941.¹³⁸Thy testimonies^H5713 that thou hast commanded^H6680 are righteous^H6664 and very^H3966 faithful^H530.¹³⁹My zeal^H7068 hath consumed^H6789 me, because mine enemies^H6862 have forgotten^H7911 thy words^H1697.¹⁴⁰Thy word^H565 is very^H3966 pure^H6884: therefore thy servant^H5650 loveth^H157 it.¹⁴¹I am small^H6810 and despised^H959: yet do not I forget^H7911 thy precepts^H6490.¹⁴²Thy righteousness^H6666 is an everlasting^H5769 righteousness^H6664, and thy law^H8451 is the truth^H571.¹⁴³Trouble^H6862 and anguish^H4689 have taken hold^H4672 on me: yet thy commandments^H4687 are my delights^H8191.¹⁴⁴The righteousness^H6664 of thy testimonies^H5715 is everlasting^H5769: give me understanding^H995, and I shall live^H2421.

¹⁴⁵KOPH. I cried^H7121 with my whole heart^H3820; hear^H6030 me, O LORD^H3068: I will keep^H5341 thy statutes^H2706.¹⁴⁶I cried^H7121 unto thee; save^H3467 me, and I shall keep^H8104 thy testimonies^H5713.¹⁴⁷I prevented^H6923 the dawning of the morning^H5399, and cried^H7768: I hoped^H3176 in thy word^H1697.¹⁴⁸Mine eyes^H5869 prevent^H6923 the night watches^H821, that I might meditate^H7878 in thy word^H565.¹⁴⁹Hear^H8085 my voice^H6963 according unto thy lovingkindness^H2617: O LORD^H3068, quicken^H2421 me according to thy judgment^H4941.¹⁵⁰They draw nigh^H7126 that follow^H7291 after mischief^H2154: they are far^H7368 from thy law^H8451.¹⁵¹Thou art near^H7138, O LORD^H3068; and all thy commandments^H4687 are truth^H571.¹⁵²Concerning thy testimonies^H5713, I have known^H3045 of old^H6924 that thou hast founded^H3245 them for ever^H5769.

¹⁵³RESH. Consider^H7200 mine affliction^H6040, and deliver^H2502 me: for I do not forget^H7911 thy law^H8451.¹⁵⁴Plead^H7378 my cause^H7379, and deliver^H1350 me: quicken^H2421 me according to thy word^H565.¹⁵⁵Salvation^H3444 is far^H7350 from the wicked^H7563: for they seek^H1875 not thy statutes^H2706.¹⁵⁶Great^H7227 are thy tender mercies^H7356, O LORD^H3068: quicken^H2421 me according to thy judgments^H4941.¹⁵⁷Many^H7227 are my persecutors^H7291 and mine enemies^H6862; yet do I not decline^H5186 from thy testimonies^H5715.¹⁵⁸I beheld^H7200 the transgressors^H898, and was grieved^H6962; because they kept^H8104 not thy word^H565.¹⁵⁹Consider^H7200 how I love^H157 thy precepts^H6490: quicken^H2421 me, O LORD^H3068, according to thy lovingkindness^H2617.¹⁶⁰Thy word^H1697 is true^H571 from the beginning^H7218: and every one of thy righteous^H6664 judgments^H4941 endureth for ever^H5769.

¹⁶¹SCHIN.
