CHAPTER 119

1
Blessed
are those whose way
is blameless,
who walk
in the law
of the LORD.
2
Blessed
are those who keep
His testimonies,
and seek
Him with all
their heart.
3
They
do
no
iniquity;
they walk
in His ways.
4
You
have ordained
Your precepts,
that we should keep them
diligently.
5
Oh, that
my ways
were committed
to keeping
Your statutes!
6
Then
I would not
be ashamed
when I consider
all
Your commandments.
7
I will praise You
with an upright
heart
when I learn
Your righteous
judgments.
8
I will keep
Your statutes;
do not
utterly
forsake me.
9
How
can a young man
keep his way
pure?
By guarding it
according to Your word.
10
With all
my heart
I have sought You;
do not
let me stray
from Your commandments.
11
I have hidden
Your word
in my heart
that
I might not
sin against You.
12
Blessed are
You,
O LORD;
teach
me Your statutes.
13
With my lips
I proclaim
all
the judgments
of Your mouth.
14
I rejoice
in the way
of Your testimonies
as much as in
all
riches.
15
I will meditate
on Your precepts
and regard
Your ways.
16
I will delight
in Your statutes;
I will not
forget
Your word.
17
Deal bountifully
with
Your servant,
that I may live
and keep
Your word.
18
Open
my eyes
that I may see
wondrous things
from Your law.
19
I
am a stranger
on the earth;
do not
hide
Your commandments
from me.
20
My soul
is consumed
with longing
for
Your judgments
at all
times.
21
You rebuke
the arrogant—
the cursed
who stray
from Your commandments.
22
Remove
my
scorn
and contempt,
for
I have kept
Your testimonies.
23
Though
rulers
sit
and slander me,
Your servant
meditates
on Your statutes;
24
Your testimonies
are indeed
my delight;
they are my
counselors.
25
My soul
cleaves
to the dust;
revive me
according to Your word.
26
I recounted
my ways
and You answered me;
teach
me Your statutes.
27
Make clear to me
the way
of Your precepts;
then I will meditate
on Your wonders.
28
My soul
melts
with sorrow;
strengthen me
according to Your word.
29
Remove
me from
the path
of deceit
and graciously grant me
Your law.
30
I have chosen
the way
of truth;
I have set
Your ordinances before me.
31
I cling
to Your testimonies,
O LORD;
let me not
be put to shame.
32
I run
in the path
of Your commandments,
for
You will enlarge
my heart.
33
Teach me,
O LORD,
the way
of Your statutes,
and I will keep them
to the end.
34
Give me understanding
that I may observe
Your law,
and follow it
with all
my heart.
35
Direct me
in the path
of Your commandments,
for
there
I find delight.
36
Turn
my heart
to
Your testimonies
and not
to
covetous gain.
37
Turn
my eyes
away
from worthless things;
revive me
with Your word.
38
Establish
Your word
to Your servant,
to produce
reverence for You.
39
Turn away
the disgrace
I dread,
for
Your judgments
are good.
40
How
I long
for Your precepts!
Revive me
in Your righteousness.
41
May Your loving devotion
come to me,
O LORD,
Your salvation,
according to Your promise.
42
Then I can answer
him who taunts,
for
I trust
in Your word.
43
Never
snatch
the word
of truth
from my mouth,
for
I hope
in Your judgments.
44
I will always
obey
Your law,
forever
and ever.
45
And I will walk
in freedom,
for
I have sought
Your precepts.
46
I will speak
of Your testimonies
before
kings,
and I will not
be ashamed.
47
I delight
in Your commandments
because
I love them.
48
I lift up
my hands
to
Your commandments,
which
I love,
and I meditate
on Your statutes.
49
Remember
Your word
to Your servant,
upon
which
You have given me hope.
50
This
is my comfort
in affliction,
that
Your promise
has given me life.
51
The arrogant
utterly
deride me,
but I do not
turn
from Your law.
52
I remember
Your judgments
of old,
O LORD,
and in them I find comfort.
53
Rage
has taken hold of me
because of the wicked
who reject
Your law.
54
Your statutes
are
songs
to me
in the house
of my pilgrimage.
55
In the night,
O LORD,
I remember
Your name,
and I will keep
Your law.
56
This
is my practice,
for
I obey
Your precepts.
57
The LORD
is my portion;
I have promised
to keep
Your words.
58
I have sought
Your face
with all
my heart;
be gracious to me
according to Your promise.
59
I considered
my ways
and turned
my steps
to
Your testimonies.
60
I hurried
without
hesitating
to keep
Your commandments.
61
Though the ropes
of the wicked
bind me,
I do not
forget
Your law.
62
At midnight
I rise
to give You thanks
for
Your righteous
judgments.
63
I
am a friend
to all
who
fear You,
and to those who keep
Your precepts.
64
The earth
is filled
with Your loving devotion,
O LORD;
teach
me Your statutes.
65
You are
good
to
Your servant,
O LORD,
according to Your word.
66
Teach
me good
judgment
and knowledge,
for
I believe
in Your commandments.
67
Before
I was afflicted,
I
went astray;
but now
I keep
Your word.
68
You
are good,
and You do what is good;
teach
me Your statutes.
69
Though the arrogant
have smeared
me with lies,
I
will keep
Your precepts
with all
my heart.
70
Their hearts
are hard
and callous,
but I
delight
in Your law.
71
It was good
for me to
be afflicted,
that
I might learn
Your statutes.
72
The law
from Your mouth
is more precious
to me
than thousands of pieces
of gold
and silver.
73
Your hands
have made me
and fashioned me;
give me understanding
to learn
Your commandments.
74
May those who fear You
see me
and rejoice,
for
I have hoped
in Your word.
75
I know,
O LORD,
that
Your judgments
are righteous,
and that in faithfulness
You have afflicted me.
76
May
Your loving devotion
comfort me,
I pray,
according to Your promise
to Your servant.
77
May Your compassion
come to me,
that I may live,
for
Your law
is my delight.
78
May the arrogant
be put to shame
for
subverting me
with a lie;
I
will meditate
on Your precepts.
79
May those who fear You
turn
to me,
those who know
Your testimonies.
80
May my heart
be
blameless
in Your statutes,
that
I may not
be put to shame.
81
My soul
faints
for Your salvation;
I wait
for Your word.
82
My eyes
fail,
looking for Your promise;
I ask,
“When
will You comfort me?”
83
Though
I am
like a wineskin
dried by smoke,
I do not
forget
Your statutes.
84
How many
days
must Your servant wait?
When
will You execute
judgment
on my persecutors?
85
The arrogant
have dug
pits
for me
in violation of
Your law.
86
All
Your commandments
are faithful;
I am persecuted
without cause—
help me!
87
They almost
wiped me
from the earth,
but I
have not
forsaken
Your precepts.
88
Revive me
according to Your loving devotion,
and I will obey
the testimony
of Your mouth.
89
Your word,
O LORD,
is everlasting;
it is firmly fixed
in the heavens.
90
Your faithfulness
continues through all
generations;
You established
the earth,
and it endures.
91
They stand
this day
according to Your ordinances,
for
all things
are servants to You.
92
If Your law
had not
been my delight,
then
I would have perished
in my affliction.
93
I will never
forget
Your precepts,
for
by them
You have revived me.
94
I am
Yours;
save me,
for
I have sought
Your precepts.
95
The wicked
wait
to destroy
me,
but I will ponder
Your testimonies.
96
I have seen
an end
to all
perfection,
but Your commandment
is without limit.
97
Oh, how
I love
Your law!
All
day long
it
is my meditation.
98
Your commandments
make me wiser
than my enemies,
for
they
are always
with me.
99
I have more insight
than all
my teachers,
for
Your testimonies
are my meditation.
100
I discern
more than the elders,
because
I obey
Your precepts.
101
I have kept
my feet
from every
evil
path,
that
I may keep
Your word.
102
I have not
departed
from Your ordinances,
for
You Yourself
have taught me.
103
How
sweet
are Your words
to my taste,
sweeter than honey
in my mouth.
104
I gain understanding
from Your precepts;
therefore
I hate
every
FALSE
way.
105
Your word
is a lamp
to my feet
and a light
to my path.
106
I have sworn
and confirmed
that I will keep
Your righteous
judgments.
107
I am severely
afflicted,
O LORD;
revive me
through Your word.
108
Accept
the freewill offerings
of my mouth,
O
LORD,
and teach
me Your judgments.
109
I constantly take
my life
in my hands,
yet I do not
forget
Your law.
110
The wicked
have set
a snare
for me,
but I have not
wandered
from Your precepts.
111
Your testimonies
are my heritage forever,
for
they
are the joy
of my heart.
112
I have inclined
my heart
to perform
Your statutes,
even
to the very end.
113
The double-minded
I despise,
but Your law
I love.
114
You
are my hiding place
and my shield;
I put my hope
in Your word.
115
Depart
from me,
you evildoers,
that I may obey
the commandments
of my God.
116
Sustain me
as You promised,
that I may live;
let me not
be ashamed
of my hope.
117
Uphold me,
and I will be delivered,
that I may always
regard
Your statutes.
118
You reject
all
who stray
from Your statutes,
for
their deceitfulness
is in vain.
119
All
the wicked
on earth
You discard
like dross;
therefore
I love
Your testimonies.
120
My flesh
trembles
in awe of You;
I stand in fear
of Your judgments.
121
I have done
what is just
and right;
do not
leave me
to my oppressors.
122
Ensure
Your servant’s
well-being;
do not
let the arrogant
oppress me.
123
My eyes
fail,
looking for Your salvation,
and for Your righteous
promise.
124
Deal
with
Your servant
according to Your loving devotion,
and teach me
Your statutes.
125
I
am Your servant;
give me understanding
that I may know
Your testimonies.
126
It is time
for the LORD
to act,
for they have broken
Your law.
127
Therefore
I love
Your commandments
more than gold,
even the purest gold.
128
Therefore
I admire
all
Your precepts
and hate
every
FALSE
way.
129
Wonderful are
Your testimonies;
therefore
I
obey them.
130
The unfolding
of Your words
gives light;
it informs
the simple.
131
I open
my mouth
and pant,
as
I long
for Your commandments.
132
Turn
to me
and show me mercy,
as You do
to those who love
Your name.
133
Establish
my steps
through Your promise;
let no
sin
rule
over me.
134
Redeem me
from the oppression
of man,
that I may keep
Your precepts.
135
Make Your face
shine
upon Your servant,
and teach
me
Your statutes.
136
My eyes
shed
streams
of tears
because
Your law
is not
obeyed.
137
Righteous
are You,
O LORD,
and upright
are Your judgments.
138
The testimonies
You have laid down
are righteous
and altogether
faithful.
139
My zeal
has consumed me
because
my foes
forget
Your words.
140
Your promise
is completely
pure;
therefore Your servant
loves it.
141
I
am lowly
and despised,
but I do not
forget
Your precepts.
142
Your righteousness
is an everlasting
righteousness,
and Your law
is true.
143
Trouble
and distress
have found me,
but Your commandments
are my delight.
144
Your testimonies
are righteous
forever.
Give me understanding,
that I may live.
145
I call
with all
my heart;
answer me,
O LORD!
I will obey
Your statutes.
146
I call to You;
save me,
that I may keep
Your testimonies.
147
I rise
before dawn
and cry for help;
in
Your word
I have put my hope.
148
My eyes
anticipate
the watches of night,
that I may meditate
on Your word.
149
Hear
my voice,
O LORD,
according to Your loving devotion;
give me life
according to Your justice.
150
Those who follow
after wickedness
draw near;
they are far
from Your law.
151
You
are near,
O LORD,
and all
Your commandments
are true.
152
Long ago
I learned
from Your testimonies
that
You have established them
forever.
153
Look
upon my affliction
and rescue me,
for
I have not
forgotten
Your law.
154
Defend
my cause
and redeem me;
revive me
according to Your word.
155
Salvation
is far
from the wicked
because
they do not
seek
Your statutes.
156
Great
are Your mercies,
O LORD;
revive me
according to Your ordinances.
157
Though my persecutors
and foes
are many,
I have not
turned
from Your testimonies.
158
I look on
the faithless
with loathing
because
they do not
keep
Your word.
159
Consider
how
I love
Your precepts,
O LORD;
give me life
according to Your loving devotion.
160
Your word
is the essence
of truth,
and all
Your righteous
judgments
endure.
161
Rulers
persecute me
without cause,
but my heart
fears only
Your word.
162
I
rejoice
in
Your promise
like one who finds
great
spoil.
163
I hate
and abhor
falsehood,
but Your law
I love.
164
Seven times
a day
I praise You
for
Your righteous
judgments.
165
Abundant
peace belongs
to those who love
Your instruction;
nothing
can make them stumble.
166
I wait
for Your salvation,
O LORD,
and I carry out
Your commandments.
167
I
obey
Your testimonies
and love
them greatly.
168
I obey
Your precepts
and Your testimonies,
for
all
my ways
are before You.
169
May my cry
come
before You,
O LORD;
give me understanding
according to Your word.
170
May my plea
come
before You;
rescue
me according to Your promise.
171
My lips
pour forth
praise,
for
You teach me
Your statutes.
172
My tongue
sings
of Your word,
for
all
Your commandments
are righteous.
173
May Your hand
be ready
to help me,
for
I have chosen
Your precepts.
174
I long
for Your salvation,
O LORD,
and Your law
is my delight.
175
Let me
live
to praise You;
may Your judgments
sustain me.
176
I have strayed
like a lost
sheep;
seek
Your servant,
for
I have not
forgotten
Your commandments.
