Psalms 119:1-49

119:1 ALEPH. Blessed [are] the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. 119:2 Blessed [are] they that keep his testimonies, [and that] seek him with the whole heart. 119:3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. 119:4 Thou hast commanded [us] to keep thy precepts diligently. 119:5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! 119:6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. 119:7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. 119:8 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly. 119:9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed [thereto] according to thy word. 119:10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. 119:12 Blessed [art] thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes. 119:13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. 119:14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as [much as] in all riches. 119:15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. 119:16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. 119:17 GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, [that] I may live, and keep thy word. 119:18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. 119:19 I [am] a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me. 119:20 My soul breaketh for the longing [that it hath] unto thy judgments at all times. 119:21 Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed, which do err from thy commandments. 119:22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies. 119:23 Princes also did sit [and] speak against me: [but] thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. 119:24 Thy testimonies also [are] my delight [and] my counsellors. 119:25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word. 119:26 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes. 119:27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. 119:28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word. 119:29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. 119:30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid [before me]. 119:31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame. 119:32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart. 119:33 HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it [unto] the end. 119:34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with [my] whole heart. 119:35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight. 119:36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. 119:37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; [and] quicken thou me in thy way. 119:38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who [is devoted] to thy fear. 119:39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments [are] good. 119:40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness. 119:41 VAU. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, [even] thy salvation, according to thy word. 119:42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. 119:43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. 119:44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever. 119:45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. 119:46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. 119:47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. 119:48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. 119:49 ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
