3They also do <06466> (8804) no iniquity <05766>_: they walk <01980> (8804) in his ways <01870>_.
4Thou hast commanded <06680> (8765) [us] to keep <08104> (8800) thy precepts <06490> diligently <03966>_.
5O that <0305> my ways <01870> were directed <03559> (8735) to keep <08104> (8800) thy statutes <02706>_!
6Then shall I not be ashamed <0954> (8799)_, when I have respect <05027> (8687) unto all thy commandments <04687>_.
7I will praise <03034> (8686) thee with uprightness <03476> of heart <03824>_, when I shall have learned <03925> (8800) thy righteous <06664> judgments <04941>_. {thy...: Heb. judgments of thy righteousness}
8I will keep <08104> (8799) thy statutes <02706>_: O forsake <05800> (8799) me not utterly <03966>_.
9BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man <05288> cleanse <02135> (8762) his way <0734>_? by taking heed <08104> (8800) [thereto] according to thy word <01697>_.
10With my whole heart <03820> have I sought <01875> (8804) thee: O let me not wander <07686> (8686) from thy commandments <04687>_.
11Thy word <0565> have I hid <06845> (8804) in mine heart <03820>_, that I might not sin <02398> (8799) against thee.
12Blessed <01288> (8803) [art] thou, O LORD <03068>_: teach <03925> (8761) me thy statutes <02706>_.
13With my lips <08193> have I declared <05608> (8765) all the judgments <04941> of thy mouth <06310>_.
14I have rejoiced <07797> (8804) in the way <01870> of thy testimonies <05715>_, as [much as] in <05921> all riches <01952>_.
15I will meditate <07878> (8799) in thy precepts <06490>_, and have respect <05027> (8686) unto thy ways <0734>_.

18Open <01540> (8761) thou mine eyes <05869>_, that I may behold <05027> (8686) wondrous things <06381> (8737) out of thy law <08451>_. {Open: Heb. Reveal}
19I [am] a stranger <01616> in the earth <0776>_: hide <05641> (8686) not thy commandments <04687> from me.
20My soul <05315> breaketh <01638> (8804) for the longing <08375> [that it hath] unto thy judgments <04941> at all times <06256>_.
21Thou hast rebuked <01605> (8804) the proud <02086> [that are] cursed <0779> (8803)_, which do err <07686> (8802) from thy commandments <04687>_.
22Remove <01556> (8798) from me reproach <02781> and contempt <0937>_; for I have kept <05341> (8804) thy testimonies <05713>_.
23Princes <08269> also did sit <03427> (8804) [and] speak <01696> (8738) against me: [but] thy servant <05650> did meditate <07878> (8799) in thy statutes <02706>_.
24Thy testimonies <05713> also [are] my delight <08191> [and] my counsellors <0582> <06098>_. {my counsellors: Heb. men of my counsel}
25DALETH. My soul <05315> cleaveth <01692> (8804) unto the dust <06083>_: quicken <02421> (8761) thou me according to thy word <01697>_.
26I have declared <05608> (8765) my ways <01870>_, and thou heardest <06030> (8799) me: teach <03925> (8761) me thy statutes <02706>_.

28My soul <05315> melteth <01811> (8804) for heaviness <08424>_: strengthen <06965> (8761) thou me according unto thy word <01697>_. {melteth: Heb. droppeth}
29Remove <05493> (8685) from me the way <01870> of lying <08267>_: and grant me thy law <08451> graciously <02603> (8798)_.
30I have chosen <0977> (8804) the way <01870> of truth <0530>_: thy judgments <04941> have I laid <07737> (8765) [before me].
31I have stuck <01692> (8804) unto thy testimonies <05715>_: O LORD <03068>_, put me not to shame <0954> (8686)_.
32I will run <07323> (8799) the way <01870> of thy commandments <04687>_, when thou shalt enlarge <07337> (8686) my heart <03820>_.
33HE. Teach <03384> (8685) me, O LORD <03068>_, the way <01870> of thy statutes <02706>_; and I shall keep <05341> (8799) it [unto] the end <06118>_.

36Incline <05186> (8685) my heart <03820> unto thy testimonies <05715>_, and not to covetousness <01215>_.
37Turn away <05674> (8685) mine eyes <05869> from beholding <07200> (8800) vanity <07723>_; [and] quicken <02421> (8761) thou me in thy way <01870>_. {Turn...: Heb. Make to pass}

40Behold, I have longed <08373> (8804) after thy precepts <06490>_: quicken <02421> (8761) me in thy righteousness <06666>_.
41VAU. Let thy mercies <02617> come <0935> (8799) also unto me, O LORD <03068>_, [even] thy salvation <08668>_, according to thy word <0565>_.
42So shall I have wherewith <01697> to answer <06030> (8799) him that reproacheth <02778> (8802) me: for I trust <0982> (8804) in thy word <01697>_. {So...: or, So shall I answer him that reproveth me in a thing}
43And take <05337> (8686) not the word <01697> of truth <0571> utterly <03966> out of my mouth <06310>_; for I have hoped <03176> (8765) in thy judgments <04941>_.
44So shall I keep <08104> (8799) thy law <08451> continually <08548> for ever <05769> and ever <05703>_.
45And I will walk <01980> (8691) at liberty <07342>_: for I seek <01875> (8804) thy precepts <06490>_. {at liberty: Heb. at large}
46I will speak <01696> (8762) of thy testimonies <05713> also before kings <04428>_, and will not be ashamed <0954> (8799)_.
47And I will delight <08173> (8698) myself in thy commandments <04687>_, which I have loved <0157> (8804)_.
48My hands <03709> also will I lift up <05375> (8799) unto thy commandments <04687>_, which I have loved <0157> (8804)_; and I will meditate <07878> (8799) in thy statutes <02706>_.
49ZAIN. Remember <02142> (8798) the word <01697> unto thy servant <05650>_, upon which thou hast caused me to hope <03176> (8765)_.
50This [is] my comfort <05165> in my affliction <06040>_: for thy word <0565> hath quickened <02421> (8765) me.
51The proud <02086> have had me greatly <03966> in derision <03887> (8689)_: [yet] have I not declined <05186> (8804) from thy law <08451>_.
52I remembered <02142> (8804) thy judgments <04941> of old <05769>_, O LORD <03068>_; and have comforted <05162> (8691) myself.
53Horror <02152> hath taken hold <0270> (8804) upon me because of the wicked <07563> that forsake <05800> (8802) thy law <08451>_.
54Thy statutes <02706> have been my songs <02158> in the house <01004> of my pilgrimage <04033>_.
55I have remembered <02142> (8804) thy name <08034>_, O LORD <03068>_, in the night <03915>_, and have kept <08104> (8799) thy law <08451>_.
56This I had, because I kept <05341> (8804) thy precepts <06490>_.
57CHETH. [Thou art] my portion <02506>_, O LORD <03068>_: I have said <0559> (8804) that I would keep <08104> (8800) thy words <01697>_.
58I intreated <02470> (8765) thy favour <06440> with [my] whole heart <03820>_: be merciful <02603> (8798) unto me according to thy word <0565>_. {favour: Heb. face}
59I thought <02803> (8765) on my ways <01870>_, and turned <07725> (8686) my feet <07272> unto thy testimonies <05713>_.
60I made haste <02363> (8804)_, and delayed <04102> (8701) not to keep <08104> (8800) thy commandments <04687>_.
61The bands <02256> of the wicked <07563> have robbed <05749> (8765) me: [but] I have not forgotten <07911> (8804) thy law <08451>_. {bands: or, companies}
62At midnight <02676> <03915> I will rise <06965> (8799) to give thanks <03034> (8687) unto thee because of thy righteous <06664> judgments <04941>_.
63I [am] a companion <02270> of all [them] that fear <03372> (8804) thee, and of them that keep <08104> (8802) thy precepts <06490>_.
64The earth <0776>_, O LORD <03068>_, is full <04390> (8804) of thy mercy <02617>_: teach <03925> (8761) me thy statutes <02706>_.
65TETH. Thou hast dealt <06213> (8804) well <02896> with thy servant <05650>_, O LORD <03068>_, according unto thy word <01697>_.
66Teach <03925> (8761) me good <02898> judgment <02940> and knowledge <01847>_: for I have believed <0539> (8689) thy commandments <04687>_.
67Before I was afflicted <06031> (8799) I went astray <07683> (8802)_: but now have I kept <08104> (8804) thy word <0565>_.
68Thou [art] good <02896>_, and doest good <02895> (8688)_; teach <03925> (8761) me thy statutes <02706>_.
69The proud <02086> have forged <02950> (8804) a lie <08267> against me: [but] I will keep <05341> (8799) thy precepts <06490> with [my] whole heart <03820>_.
70Their heart <03820> is as fat <02954> (8804) as grease <02459>_; [but] I delight <08173> (8773) in thy law <08451>_.
71[It is] good <02896> for me that I have been afflicted <06031> (8795)_; that I might learn <03925> (8799) thy statutes <02706>_.
72The law <08451> of thy mouth <06310> [is] better <02896> unto me than thousands <0505> of gold <02091> and silver <03701>_.
73JOD. Thy hands <03027> have made <06213> (8804) me and fashioned <03559> (8787) me: give me understanding <0995> (8685)_, that I may learn <03925> (8799) thy commandments <04687>_.
74They that fear <03373> thee will be glad <08055> (8799) when they see <07200> (8799) me; because I have hoped <03176> (8765) in thy word <01697>_.
75I know <03045> (8804)_, O LORD <03068>_, that thy judgments <04941> [are] right <06664>_, and [that] thou in faithfulness <0530> hast afflicted <06031> (8765) me. {right: Heb. righteousness}
76Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness <02617> be for my comfort <05162> (8763)_, according to thy word <0565> unto thy servant <05650>_. {for...: Heb. to comfort me}
77Let thy tender mercies <07356> come <0935> (8799) unto me, that I may live <02421> (8799)_: for thy law <08451> [is] my delight <08191>_.
78Let the proud <02086> be ashamed <0954> (8799)_; for they dealt perversely <05791> (8765) with me without a cause <08267>_: [but] I will meditate <07878> (8799) in thy precepts <06490>_.
79Let those that fear <03373> thee turn <07725> (8799) unto me, and those that have known <03045> (8802) (8675) <03045> (8804) thy testimonies <05713>_.
80Let my heart <03820> be sound <08549> in thy statutes <02706>_; that I be not ashamed <0954> (8799)_.
81CAPH. My soul <05315> fainteth <03615> (8804) for thy salvation <08668>_: [but] I hope <03176> (8765) in thy word <01697>_.
82Mine eyes <05869> fail <03615> (8804) for thy word <0565>_, saying <0559> (8800)_, When wilt thou comfort <05162> (8762) me?
83For I am become like a bottle <04997> in the smoke <07008>_; [yet] do I not forget <07911> (8804) thy statutes <02706>_.
84How many [are] the days <03117> of thy servant <05650>_? when wilt thou execute <06213> (8799) judgment <04941> on them that persecute <07291> (8802) me?
85The proud <02086> have digged <03738> (8804) pits <07882> for me, which [are] not after thy law <08451>_.
86All thy commandments <04687> [are] faithful <0530>_: they persecute <07291> (8804) me wrongfully <08267>_; help <05826> (8798) thou me. {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}
87They had almost <04592> consumed <03615> (8765) me upon earth <0776>_; but I forsook <05800> (8804) not thy precepts <06490>_.
88Quicken <02421> (8761) me after thy lovingkindness <02617>_; so shall I keep <08104> (8799) the testimony <05715> of thy mouth <06310>_.
89LAMED. For ever <05769>_, O LORD <03068>_, thy word <01697> is settled <05324> (8737) in heaven <08064>_.
90Thy faithfulness <0530> [is] unto all <01755> generations <01755>_: thou hast established <03559> (8790) the earth <0776>_, and it abideth <05975> (8799)_. {unto...: Heb. to generation and generation} {abideth: Heb. standeth}
91They continue <05975> (8804) this day <03117> according to thine ordinances <04941>_: for all [are] thy servants <05650>_.
92Unless <03884> thy law <08451> [had been] my delights <08191>_, I should then have perished <06> (8804) in mine affliction <06040>_.
93I will never <05769> forget <07911> (8799) thy precepts <06490>_: for with them thou hast quickened <02421> (8765) me.
94I [am] thine, save <03467> (8685) me; for I have sought <01875> (8804) thy precepts <06490>_.
95The wicked <07563> have waited <06960> (8765) for me to destroy <06> (8763) me: [but] I will consider <0995> (8709) thy testimonies <05713>_.
96I have seen <07200> (8804) an end <07093> of all perfection <08502>_: [but] thy commandment <04687> [is] exceeding <03966> broad <07342>_.
97MEM. O how love I <0157> (8804) thy law <08451>_! it [is] my meditation <07881> all the day <03117>_.
98Thou through thy commandments <04687> hast made me wiser <02449> (8762) than mine enemies <0341> (8802)_: for they [are] ever <05769> with me. {they...: Heb. it is ever with me}
99I have more understanding <07919> (8689) than all my teachers <03925> (8764)_: for thy testimonies <05715> [are] my meditation <07881>_.
100I understand <0995> (8709) more than the ancients <02205>_, because I keep <05341> (8804) thy precepts <06490>_.
101I have refrained <03607> (8804) my feet <07272> from every evil <07451> way <0734>_, that I might keep <08104> (8799) thy word <01697>_.
102I have not departed <05493> (8804) from thy judgments <04941>_: for thou hast taught <03384> (8689) me.
103How sweet <04452> (8738) are thy words <0565> unto my taste <02441>_! [yea, sweeter] than honey <01706> to my mouth <06310>_! {taste: Heb. palate}
104Through thy precepts <06490> I get understanding <0995> (8709)_: therefore I hate <08130> (8804) every false <08267> way <0734>_.
105NUN. Thy word <01697> [is] a lamp <05216> unto my feet <07272>_, and a light <0216> unto my path <05410>_. {lamp: or, candle}
106I have sworn <07650> (8738)_, and I will perform <06965> (8762) [it], that I will keep <08104> (8800) thy righteous <06664> judgments <04941>_.
107I am afflicted <06031> (8738) very much <03966>_: quicken <02421> (8761) me, O LORD <03068>_, according unto thy word <01697>_.
108Accept <07521> (8798)_, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings <05071> of my mouth <06310>_, O LORD <03068>_, and teach <03925> (8761) me thy judgments <04941>_.
109My soul <05315> [is] continually <08548> in my hand <03709>_: yet do I not forget <07911> (8804) thy law <08451>_.
110The wicked <07563> have laid <05414> (8804) a snare <06341> for me: yet I erred <08582> (8804) not from thy precepts <06490>_.
111Thy testimonies <05715> have I taken as an heritage <05157> (8804) for ever <05769>_: for they [are] the rejoicing <08342> of my heart <03820>_.
112I have inclined <05186> (8804) mine heart <03820> to perform <06213> (8800) thy statutes <02706> alway <05769>_, [even unto] the end <06118>_. {to perform: Heb. to do}
113SAMECH. I hate <08130> (8804) [vain] thoughts <05588>_: but thy law <08451> do I love <0157> (8804)_.
114Thou [art] my hiding place <05643> and my shield <04043>_: I hope <03176> (8765) in thy word <01697>_.
115Depart <05493> (8798) from me, ye evildoers <07489> (8688)_: for I will keep <05341> (8799) the commandments <04687> of my God <0430>_.
116Uphold <05564> (8798) me according unto thy word <0565>_, that I may live <02421> (8799)_: and let me not be ashamed <0954> (8686) of my hope <07664>_.
117Hold thou me up <05582> (8798)_, and I shall be safe <03467> (8735)_: and I will have respect <08159> (8799) unto thy statutes <02706> continually <08548>_.
118Thou hast trodden down <05541> (8804) all them that err <07686> (8802) from thy statutes <02706>_: for their deceit <08649> [is] falsehood <08267>_.
119Thou puttest away <07673> (8689) all the wicked <07563> of the earth <0776> [like] dross <05509>_: therefore I love <0157> (8804) thy testimonies <05713>_. {puttest...: Heb. causest to cease}
120My flesh <01320> trembleth <05568> (8804) for fear <06343> of thee; and I am afraid <03372> (8804) of thy judgments <04941>_.
121AIN. I have done <06213> (8804) judgment <04941> and justice <06664>_: leave <03240> (8686) me not to mine oppressors <06231> (8802)_.
122Be surety <06148> (8798) for thy servant <05650> for good <02896>_: let not the proud <02086> oppress <06231> (8799) me.
123Mine eyes <05869> fail <03615> (8804) for thy salvation <03444>_, and for the word <0565> of thy righteousness <06664>_.
124Deal <06213> (8798) with thy servant <05650> according unto thy mercy <02617>_, and teach <03925> (8761) me thy statutes <02706>_.
125I [am] thy servant <05650>_; give me understanding <0995> (8685)_, that I may know <03045> (8799) thy testimonies <05713>_.
126[It is] time <06256> for [thee], LORD <03068>_, to work <06213> (8800)_: [for] they have made void <06565> (8689) thy law <08451>_.
127Therefore I love <0157> (8804) thy commandments <04687> above gold <02091>_; yea, above fine gold <06337>_.
128Therefore I esteem all [thy] precepts <06490> [concerning] all [things to be] right <03474> (8765)_; [and] I hate <08130> (8804) every false <08267> way <0734>_.
129PE. Thy testimonies <05715> [are] wonderful <06382>_: therefore doth my soul <05315> keep <05341> (8804) them.
130The entrance <06608> of thy words <01697> giveth light <0215> (8686)_; it giveth understanding <0995> (8688) unto the simple <06612>_.
131I opened <06473> (8804) my mouth <06310>_, and panted <07602> (8799)_: for I longed <02968> (8804) for thy commandments <04687>_.
132Look <06437> (8798) thou upon me, and be merciful <02603> (8798) unto me, as thou usest <04941> to do unto those that love <0157> (8802) thy name <08034>_. {as thou...: Heb. according to the custom toward those, etc}
133Order <03559> (8685) my steps <06471> in thy word <0565>_: and let not any iniquity <0205> have dominion <07980> (8686) over me.
134Deliver <06299> (8798) me from the oppression <06233> of man <0120>_: so will I keep <08104> (8799) thy precepts <06490>_.
135Make thy face <06440> to shine <0215> (8685) upon thy servant <05650>_; and teach <03925> (8761) me thy statutes <02706>_.
136Rivers <06388> of waters <04325> run down <03381> (8804) mine eyes <05869>_, because they keep <08104> (8804) not thy law <08451>_.
137TZADDI. Righteous <06662> [art] thou, O LORD <03068>_, and upright <03477> [are] thy judgments <04941>_.
138Thy testimonies <05713> [that] thou hast commanded <06680> (8765) [are] righteous <06664> and very <03966> faithful <0530>_. {righteous: Heb. righteousness} {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}
139My zeal <07068> hath consumed <06789> (8765) me, because mine enemies <06862> have forgotten <07911> (8804) thy words <01697>_. {consumed...: Heb. cut me off}
140Thy word <0565> [is] very <03966> pure <06884> (8803)_: therefore thy servant <05650> loveth <0157> (8804) it. {pure: Heb. tried, or, refined}
141I [am] small <06810> and despised <0959> (8737)_: [yet] do not I forget <07911> (8804) thy precepts <06490>_.
142Thy righteousness <06666> [is] an everlasting <05769> righteousness <06664>_, and thy law <08451> [is] the truth <0571>_.
143Trouble <06862> and anguish <04689> have taken hold <04672> (8804) on me: [yet] thy commandments <04687> [are] my delights <08191>_. {taken...: Heb. found me}
144The righteousness <06664> of thy testimonies <05715> [is] everlasting <05769>_: give me understanding <0995> (8685)_, and I shall live <02421> (8799)_.
145KOPH. I cried <07121> (8804) with [my] whole heart <03820>_; hear <06030> (8798) me, O LORD <03068>_: I will keep <05341> (8799) thy statutes <02706>_.
146I cried <07121> (8804) unto thee; save <03467> (8685) me, and I shall keep <08104> (8799) thy testimonies <05713>_. {and I...: or, that I may keep}
147I prevented <06923> (8765) the dawning of the morning <05399>_, and cried <07768> (8762)_: I hoped <03176> (8765) in thy word <01697>_.
148Mine eyes <05869> prevent <06923> (8765) the [night] watches <0821>_, that I might meditate <07878> (8800) in thy word <0565>_.
149Hear <08085> (8798) my voice <06963> according unto thy lovingkindness <02617>_: O LORD <03068>_, quicken <02421> (8761) me according to thy judgment <04941>_.
150They draw nigh <07126> (8804) that follow <07291> (8802) after mischief <02154>_: they are far <07368> (8804) from thy law <08451>_.
151Thou [art] near <07138>_, O LORD <03068>_; and all thy commandments <04687> [are] truth <0571>_.
152Concerning thy testimonies <05713>_, I have known <03045> (8804) of old <06924> that thou hast founded <03245> (8804) them for ever <05769>_.
153RESH. Consider <07200> (8798) mine affliction <06040>_, and deliver <02502> (8761) me: for I do not forget <07911> (8804) thy law <08451>_.
154Plead <07378> (8798) my cause <07379>_, and deliver <01350> (8798) me: quicken <02421> (8761) me according to thy word <0565>_.
155Salvation <03444> [is] far <07350> from the wicked <07563>_: for they seek <01875> (8804) not thy statutes <02706>_.
156Great <07227> [are] thy tender mercies <07356>_, O LORD <03068>_: quicken <02421> (8761) me according to thy judgments <04941>_. {Great: or, Many}
157Many <07227> [are] my persecutors <07291> (8802) and mine enemies <06862>_; [yet] do I not decline <05186> (8804) from thy testimonies <05715>_.
158I beheld <07200> (8804) the transgressors <0898> (8802)_, and was grieved <06962> (8709)_; because they kept <08104> (8804) not thy word <0565>_.
159Consider <07200> (8798) how I love <0157> (8804) thy precepts <06490>_: quicken <02421> (8761) me, O LORD <03068>_, according to thy lovingkindness <02617>_.
160Thy word <01697> [is] true <0571> [from] the beginning <07218>_: and every one of thy righteous <06664> judgments <04941> [endureth] for ever <05769>_. {Thy word...: Heb. The beginning of thy word is true}
161SCHIN. Princes <08269> have persecuted <07291> (8804) me without a cause <02600>_: but my heart <03820> standeth in awe <06342> (8804) of thy word <01697>_.
162I rejoice <07797> (8801) at thy word <0565>_, as one that findeth <04672> (8802) great <07227> spoil <07998>_.
163I hate <08130> (8804) and abhor <08581> (8762) lying <08267>_: [but] thy law <08451> do I love <0157> (8804)_.
164Seven times <07651> a day <03117> do I praise <01984> (8765) thee because of thy righteous <06664> judgments <04941>_.
165Great <07227> peace <07965> have they which love <0157> (8802) thy law <08451>_: and nothing shall offend <04383> them. {nothing...: Heb. they shall have no stumblingblock}
166LORD <03068>_, I have hoped <07663> (8765) for thy salvation <03444>_, and done <06213> (8804) thy commandments <04687>_.
167My soul <05315> hath kept <08104> (8804) thy testimonies <05713>_; and I love <0157> (8799) them exceedingly <03966>_.
168I have kept <08104> (8804) thy precepts <06490> and thy testimonies <05713>_: for all my ways <01870> [are] before thee.
169TAU. Let my cry <07440> come near <07126> (8799) before <06440> thee, O LORD <03068>_: give me understanding <0995> (8685) according to thy word <01697>_.
170Let my supplication <08467> come <0935> (8799) before <06440> thee: deliver <05337> (8685) me according to thy word <0565>_.
171My lips <08193> shall utter <05042> (8686) praise <08416>_, when thou hast taught <03925> (8762) me thy statutes <02706>_.
172My tongue <03956> shall speak <06030> (8799) of thy word <0565>_: for all thy commandments <04687> [are] righteousness <06664>_.
173Let thine hand <03027> help <05826> (8800) me; for I have chosen <0977> (8804) thy precepts <06490>_.
174I have longed <08373> (8804) for thy salvation <03444>_, O LORD <03068>_; and thy law <08451> [is] my delight <08191>_.
175Let my soul <05315> live <02421> (8799)_, and it shall praise <01984> (8762) thee; and let thy judgments <04941> help <05826> (8799) me.
176I have gone astray <08582> (8804) like a lost <06> (8802) sheep <07716>_; seek <01245> (8761) thy servant <05650>_; for I do not forget <07911> (8804) thy commandments <04687>_.
