Dual Panel1Aleph. How blessed<835> are those whose way<1870> is blameless<8549>, Who walk<1980> in the law<8451> of the LORD<3068>.
2How blessed<835> are those who observe<5341> His testimonies<5713>, Who seek<1875> Him with all<3605> their heart<3820>.
3They also<637> do<6466> no<3808> unrighteousness<5767>; They walk<1980> in His ways<1870>.
4You have ordained<6680> Your precepts<6490>, That we should keep<8104> them diligently<3966>.
5Oh<305> that my ways<1870> may be established<3559> To keep<8104> Your statutes<2706>!
6Then<227> I shall not be ashamed<954> When I look<5027> upon all<3605> Your commandments<4687>.
7I shall give<3034> thanks<3034> to You with uprightness<3476> of heart<3824>, When I learn<3925> Your righteous<6664> judgments<4941>.
8I shall keep<8104> Your statutes<2706>; Do not forsake<5800> me utterly<5704><3966>!
9Beth. How<4100> can a young<5288> man<5288> keep<2135> his way<734> pure<2135>? By keeping<8104> it according to Your word<1697>.
10With all<3605> my heart<3820> I have sought<1875> You; Do not let me wander<7686> from Your commandments<4687>.
11Your word<565> I have treasured<6845> in my heart<3820>, That I may not sin<2398> against You.
12Blessed<1288> are You, O LORD<3068>; Teach<3925> me Your statutes<2706>.
13With my lips<8193> I have told<5608> of All<3605> the ordinances<4941> of Your mouth<6310>.
14I have rejoiced<7797> in the way<1870> of Your testimonies<5715>, As much<5921> as in all<3605> riches<1952>.
15I will meditate<7878> on Your precepts<6490> And regard<5027> Your ways<734>.
16I shall delight<8173> in Your statutes<2708>; I shall not forget<7911> Your word<1697>.
17Gimel. Deal<1580> bountifully<1580> with Your servant<5650>, That I may live<2421> and keep<8104> Your word<1697>.
18Open<1540> my eyes<5869>, that I may behold<5027> Wonderful<6381> things<6381> from Your law<8451>.
19I am a stranger<1616> in the earth<776>; Do not hide<5641> Your commandments<4687> from me.
20My soul<5315> is crushed<1638> with longing<8375> After<413> Your ordinances<4941> at all<3605> times<6256>.
21You rebuke<1605> the arrogant<2086>, the cursed<779>, Who wander<7686> from Your commandments<4687>.
22Take<1556> away<1556> reproach<2781> and contempt<937> from me, For I observe<5341> Your testimonies<5713>.
23Even<1571> though princes<8269> sit<3427> and talk<1696> against me, Your servant<5650> meditates<7878> on Your statutes<2706>.
24Your testimonies<5713> also<1571> are my delight<8191>; They are my counselors<376><6098>.
25Daleth. My soul<5315> cleaves<1692> to the dust<6083>; Revive<2421> me according to Your word<1697>.
26I have told<5608> of my ways<1870>, and You have answered<6030> me; Teach<3925> me Your statutes<2706>.
27Make me understand<995> the way<1870> of Your precepts<6490>, So I will meditate<7878> on Your wonders<6381>.
28My soul<5315> weeps<1811> because<4480> of grief<8424>; Strengthen<6965> me according to Your word<1697>.
29Remove<5493> the false<8267> way<1870> from me, And graciously<2603> grant<2603> me Your law<8451>.
30I have chosen<977> the faithful<530> way<1870>; I have placed<7737> Your ordinances<4941> before me.
31I cling<1692> to Your testimonies<5715>; O LORD<3068>, do not put<954> me to shame<954>!
32I shall run<7323> the way<1870> of Your commandments<4687>, For You will enlarge<7337> my heart<3820>.
33He. Teach<3384> me, O LORD<3068>, the way<1870> of Your statutes<2706>, And I shall observe<5341> it to the end<6118>.
34Give<995> me understanding<995>, that I may observe<5341> Your law<8451> And keep<8104> it with all<3605> my heart<3820>.
35Make me walk<1869> in the path<5410> of Your commandments<4687>, For I delight<2654> in it.
36Incline<5186> my heart<3820> to Your testimonies<5715> And not to dishonest gain<1215>.
37Turn<5674> away<5674> my eyes<5869> from looking<7200> at vanity<7723>, And revive<2421> me in Your ways<1870>.
38Establish<6965> Your word<565> to Your servant<5650>, As that which<834> produces reverence<3374> for You.
39Turn<5674> away<5674> my reproach<2781> which<834> I dread<3025>, For Your ordinances<4941> are good<2896>.
40Behold<2009>, I long<8373> for Your precepts<6490>; Revive<2421> me through Your righteousness<6666>.
41Vav. May Your lovingkindnesses<2617> also come<935> to me, O LORD<3068>, Your salvation<8668> according to Your word<565>;
42So I will have<6030> an answer<6030><1697> for him who reproaches<2778> me, For I trust<982> in Your word<1697>.
43And do not take<5337> the word<1697> of truth<571> utterly<5704><3966> out of my mouth<6310>, For I wait<3176> for Your ordinances<4941>.
44So I will keep<8104> Your law<8451> continually<8548>, Forever<5769> and ever<5703>.
45And I will walk<1980> at liberty<7342>, For I seek<1875> Your precepts<6490>.
46I will also speak<1696> of Your testimonies<5713> before<5048> kings<4428> And shall not be ashamed<954>.
47I shall delight<8173> in Your commandments<4687>, Which<834> I love<157>.
48And I shall lift<5375> up my hands<3709> to Your commandments<4687>, Which<834> I love<157>; And I will meditate<7878> on Your statutes<2706>.
49Zayin. Remember<2142> the word<1697> to Your servant<5650>, In which<834> You have made me hope<3176>.
50This<384> is my comfort<5165> in my affliction<6040>, That Your word<565> has revived<2421> me.
51The arrogant<2086> utterly<5704><3966> deride<3917> me, Yet I do not turn<5186> aside<5186> from Your law<8451>.
52I have remembered<2142> Your ordinances<4941> from of old<5769>, O LORD<3068>, And comfort<5162> myself.
53Burning<2152> indignation<2152> has seized<270> me because<4480> of the wicked<7563>, Who forsake<5800> Your law<8451>.
54Your statutes<2706> are my songs<2158> In the house<1004> of my pilgrimage<4033>.
55O LORD<3068>, I remember<2142> Your name<8034> in the night<3915>, And keep<8104> Your law<8451>.
56This<384> has become<1961> mine, That I observe<5341> Your precepts<6490>.
57Heth. The LORD<3068> is my portion<2506>; I have promised<559> to keep<8104> Your words<1697>.
58I sought<2470> Your favor<6440> with all<3605> my heart<3820>; Be gracious<2603> to me according to Your word<565>.
59I considered<2803> my ways<1870> And turned<7725> my feet<7272> to Your testimonies<5713>.
60I hastened<2363> and did not delay<4102> To keep<8104> Your commandments<4687>.
61The cords<2256> of the wicked<7563> have encircled<5749> me, But I have not forgotten<7911> Your law<8451>.
62At midnight<2676><3915> I shall rise<6965> to give<3034> thanks<3034> to You Because<5921> of Your righteous<6664> ordinances<4941>.
63I am a companion<2270> of all<3605> those who<834> fear<3372> You, And of those who keep<8104> Your precepts<6490>.
64The earth<776> is full<4390> of Your lovingkindness<2617>, O LORD<3068>; Teach<3925> me Your statutes<2706>.
65Teth. You have dealt<6213> well<2896> with Your servant<5650>, O LORD<3068>, according to Your word<1697>.
66Teach<3925> me good<2898> discernment<2940> and knowledge<1847>, For I believe<539> in Your commandments<4687>.
67Before<2962> I was afflicted<6031> I went<7683> astray<7683>, But now<6258> I keep<8104> Your word<565>.
68You are good<2896> and do<3190> good<3190>; Teach<3925> me Your statutes<2706>.
69The arrogant<2086> have forged<2950> a lie<8267> against<5921> me; With all<3605> my heart<3820> I will observe<5341> Your precepts<6490>.
70Their heart<3820> is covered<2954> with fat<2459>, But I delight<8173> in Your law<8451>.
71It is good<2895> for me that I was afflicted<6031>, That I may learn<3925> Your statutes<2706>.
72The law<8451> of Your mouth<6310> is better<2896> to me Than<4480> thousands<505> of gold<2091> and silver<3701> pieces.
73Yodh. Your hands<3027> made<6213> me and fashioned<3559> me; Give<995> me understanding<995>, that I may learn<3925> Your commandments<4687>.
74May those who fear<3372> You see<7200> me and be glad<8055>, Because<3588> I wait<3176> for Your word<1697>.
75I know<3045>, O LORD<3068>, that Your judgments<4941> are righteous<6664>, And that in faithfulness<530> You have afflicted<6031> me.
76O<4994> may<4994> Your lovingkindness<2617> comfort<5162> me, According to Your word<565> to Your servant<5650>.
77May Your compassion<7356> come<935> to me that I may live<2421>, For Your law<8451> is my delight<8191>.
78May the arrogant<2086> be ashamed<954>, for they subvert<5791> me with a lie<8267>; But I shall meditate<7878> on Your precepts<6490>.
79May those who fear<3372> You turn<7725> to me, Even those who know<3045> Your testimonies<5713>.
80May my heart<3820> be blameless<8549> in Your statutes<2706>, So that I will not be ashamed<954>.
81Kaph. My soul<5315> languishes<3615> for Your salvation<8668>; I wait<3176> for Your word<1697>.
82My eyes<5869> fail<3615> with longing for Your word<565>, While I say<559>, "When<4970> will You comfort<5162> me?"
83Though<3588> I have become<1961> like a wineskin<4997> in the smoke<7008>, I do not forget<7911> Your statutes<2706>.
84How<4100> many<4100> are the days<3117> of Your servant<5650>? When<4970> will You execute<6213> judgment<4941> on those who persecute<7291> me?
85The arrogant<2086> have dug<3738> pits<7882> for me, Men who<834> are not in accord with Your law<8451>.
86All<3605> Your commandments<4687> are faithful<530>; They have persecuted<7291> me with a lie<8267>; help<5826> me!
87They almost<4592> destroyed<3615> me on earth<776>, But as for me, I did not forsake<5800> Your precepts<6490>.
88Revive<2421> me according to Your lovingkindness<2617>, So that I may keep<8104> the testimony<5715> of Your mouth<6310>.
89Lamedh. Forever<5769>, O LORD<3068>, Your word<1697> is settled<5324> in heaven<8064>.
90Your faithfulness<530> continues throughout all<1755> generations<1755>; You established<3559> the earth<776>, and it stands<5975>.
91They stand<5975> this day<3117> according to Your ordinances<4941>, For all<3605> things<3605> are Your servants<5650>.
92If<3884> Your law<8451> had not been my delight<8191>, Then<227> I would have perished<6> in my affliction<6040>.
93I will never<5769><3808> forget<7911> Your precepts<6490>, For by them You have revived<2421> me.
94I am Yours, save<3467> me; For I have sought<1875> Your precepts<6490>.
95The wicked<7563> wait<6960> for me to destroy<6> me; I shall diligently<995> consider<995> Your testimonies<5713>.
96I have seen<7200> a limit<7093> to all<3605> perfection<8502>; Your commandment<4687> is exceedingly<3966> broad<7342>.
97Mem. O how<4100> I love<157> Your law<8451>! It is my meditation<7881> all<3605> the day<3117>.
98Your commandments<4687> make<2449> me wiser<2449> than<4480> my enemies<340>, For they are ever<5769> mine.
99I have more<4480> insight<7919> than<4480> all<3605> my teachers<3925>, For Your testimonies<5715> are my meditation<7881>.
100I understand<995> more<4480> than<4480> the aged<2205>, Because<3588> I have observed<5341> Your precepts<6490>.
101I have restrained<3607> my feet<7272> from every<3605> evil<7451> way<734>, That I may keep<8104> Your word<1697>.
102I have not turned<5493> aside<5493> from Your ordinances<4941>, For You Yourself<859> have taught<3384> me.
103How<4100> sweet<4452> are Your words<565> to my taste<2441>! Yes, sweeter than<4480> honey<1706> to my mouth<6310>!
104From Your precepts<6490> I get<995> understanding<995>; Therefore<5921><3651> I hate<8130> every<3605> false<8267> way<734>.
105Nun. Your word<1697> is a lamp<5216> to my feet<7272> And a light<216> to my path<5410>.
106I have sworn<7650> and I will confirm<6965> it, That I will keep<8104> Your righteous<6664> ordinances<4941>.
107I am exceedingly<5704><3966> afflicted<6031>; Revive<2421> me, O LORD<3068>, according to Your word<1697>.
108O<4994> accept<7521> the freewill<5071> offerings<5071> of my mouth<6310>, O LORD<3068>, And teach<3925> me Your ordinances<4941>.
109My life<5315> is continually<8548> in my hand<3709>, Yet I do not forget<7911> Your law<8451>.
110The wicked<7563> have laid<5414> a snare<6341> for me, Yet I have not gone<8582> astray<8582> from Your precepts<6490>.
111I have inherited<5157> Your testimonies<5715> forever<5769>, For they are the joy<8342> of my heart<3820>.
112I have inclined<5186> my heart<3820> to perform<6213> Your statutes<2706> Forever<5769>, even to the end<6118>.
113Samekh. I hate<8130> those who<5588> are double-minded<5588>, But I love<157> Your law<8451>.
114You are my hiding<5643> place<5643> and my shield<4043>; I wait<3176> for Your word<1697>.
115Depart<5493> from me, evildoers<7489>, That I may observe<5341> the commandments<4687> of my God<430>.
116Sustain<5564> me according to Your word<565>, that I may live<2421>; And do not let me be ashamed<954> of my hope<7664>.
117Uphold<5582> me that I may be safe<3467>, That I may have<8159> regard<8159> for Your statutes<2706> continually<8548>.
118You have rejected<5541> all<3605> those who wander<7686> from Your statutes<2706>, For their deceitfulness<8649> is useless<8267>.
119You have removed<7673> all<3605> the wicked<7563> of the earth<776> like dross<5509>; Therefore<3651> I love<157> Your testimonies<5713>.
120My flesh<1320> trembles<5568> for fear<6343> of You, And I am afraid<3372> of Your judgments<4941>.
121Ayin. I have done<6213> justice<4941> and righteousness<6664>; Do not leave<5117> me to my oppressors<6231>.
122Be surety<6148> for Your servant<5650> for good<2896>; Do not let the arrogant<2086> oppress<6231> me.
123My eyes<5869> fail<3615> with longing for Your salvation<3444> And for Your righteous<6664> word<565>.
124Deal<6213> with Your servant<5650> according to Your lovingkindness<2617> And teach<3925> me Your statutes<2706>.
125I am Your servant<5650>; give<995> me understanding<995>, That I may know<3045> Your testimonies<5713>.
126It is time<6256> for the LORD<3068> to act<6213>, For they have broken<6565> Your law<8451>.
127Therefore<5921><3651> I love<157> Your commandments<4687> Above<4480> gold<2091>, yes, above<4480> fine<6337> gold<6337>.
128Therefore<5921><3651> I esteem<3474> right<3474> all<3605> Your precepts<6490> concerning everything<3605>, I hate<8130> every<3605> false<8267> way<734>.
129Pe. Your testimonies<5715> are wonderful<6382>; Therefore<5921><3651> my soul<5315> observes<5341> them.
130The unfolding<6608> of Your words<1697> gives<215> light<215>; It gives<995> understanding<995> to the simple<6612>.
131I opened<6473> my mouth<6310> wide<6473> and panted<7602>, For I longed<2968> for Your commandments<4687>.
132Turn<6437> to me and be gracious<2603> to me, After Your manner<4941> with those who love<157> Your name<8034>.
133Establish<3559> my footsteps<6471> in Your word<565>, And do not let any<3605> iniquity<205> have<7980> dominion<7980> over me.
134Redeem<6299> me from the oppression<6233> of man<120>, That I may keep<8104> Your precepts<6490>.
135Make Your face<6440> shine<215> upon Your servant<5650>, And teach<3925> me Your statutes<2706>.
136My eyes<5869> shed<3381> streams<6388> of water<4325>, Because<5921> they do not keep<8104> Your law<8451>.
137Tsadhe. Righteous<6662> are You, O LORD<3068>, And upright<3477> are Your judgments<4941>.
138You have commanded<6680> Your testimonies<5713> in righteousness<6664> And exceeding<3966> faithfulness<530>.
139My zeal<7068> has consumed<6789> me, Because<3588> my adversaries<6862> have forgotten<7911> Your words<1697>.
140Your word<565> is very<3966> pure<6884>, Therefore Your servant<5650> loves<157> it.
141I am small<6810> and despised<959>, Yet I do not forget<7911> Your precepts<6490>.
142Your righteousness<6666> is an everlasting<5769> righteousness<6664>, And Your law<8451> is truth<571>.
143Trouble<6862> and anguish<4689> have come<4672> upon me, Yet Your commandments<4687> are my delight<8191>.
144Your testimonies<5715> are righteous<6664> forever<5769>; Give<995> me understanding<995> that I may live<2421>.
145Qoph. I cried<7121> with all<3605> my heart<3820>; answer<6030> me, O LORD<3068>! I will observe<5341> Your statutes<2706>.
146I cried<7121> to You; save<3467> me And I shall keep<8104> Your testimonies<5713>.
147I rise<6923> before dawn<5399> and cry<7768> for help<7768>; I wait<3176> for Your words<1697>.
148My eyes<5869> anticipate<6923> the night watches<821>, That I may meditate<7878> on Your word<565>.
149Hear<8085> my voice<6963> according to Your lovingkindness<2617>; Revive<2421> me, O LORD<3068>, according to Your ordinances<4941>.
150Those who follow<7291> after wickedness<2154> draw<7126> near<7126>; They are far<7368> from Your law<8451>.
151You are near<7138>, O LORD<3068>, And all<3605> Your commandments<4687> are truth<571>.
152Of old<6924> I have known<3045> from Your testimonies<5713> That You have founded<3245> them forever<5769>.
153Resh. Look<7200> upon my affliction<6040> and rescue<2502> me, For I do not forget<7911> Your law<8451>.
154Plead<7378> my cause<7379> and redeem<1350> me; Revive<2421> me according to Your word<565>.
155Salvation<3444> is far<7350> from the wicked<7563>, For they do not seek<1875> Your statutes<2706>.
156Great<7227> are Your mercies<7356>, O LORD<3068>; Revive<2421> me according to Your ordinances<4941>.
157Many<7227> are my persecutors<7291> and my adversaries<6862>, Yet I do not turn<5186> aside<5186> from Your testimonies<5715>.
158I behold<7200> the treacherous<898> and loathe<6962> them, Because<834> they do not keep<8104> Your word<565>.
159Consider<7200> how<3588> I love<157> Your precepts<6490>; Revive<2421> me, O LORD<3068>, according to Your lovingkindness<2617>.
160The sum<7218> of Your word<1697> is truth<571>, And every<3605> one<3605> of Your righteous<6664> ordinances<4941> is everlasting<5769>.
161Shin. Princes<8269> persecute<7291> me without<2600> cause<2600>, But my heart<3820> stands<6342> in awe<6342> of Your words<1697>.
162I rejoice<7797> at Your word<565>, As one who finds<4672> great<7227> spoil<7998>.
163I hate<8130> and despise<8581> falsehood<8267>, But I love<157> Your law<8451>.
164Seven<7651> times<7651> a day<3117> I praise<1984> You, Because<5921> of Your righteous<6664> ordinances<4941>.
165Those who love<157> Your law<8451> have great<7227> peace<7965>, And nothing<369> causes them to stumble<4383>.
166I hope<7663> for Your salvation<3444>, O LORD<3068>, And do<6213> Your commandments<4687>.
167My soul<5315> keeps<8104> Your testimonies<5713>, And I love<157> them exceedingly<3966>.
168I keep<8104> Your precepts<6490> and Your testimonies<5713>, For all<3605> my ways<1870> are before<5048> You.
169Tav. Let my cry<7440> come<7126> before<6440> You, O LORD<3068>; Give<995> me understanding<995> according to Your word<1697>.
170Let my supplication<8467> come<935> before<6440> You; Deliver<5337> me according to Your word<565>.
171Let my lips<8193> utter<5042> praise<8416>, For You teach<3925> me Your statutes<2706>.
172Let my tongue<3956> sing<6031> of Your word<565>, For all<3605> Your commandments<4687> are righteousness<6664>.
173Let Your hand<3027> be ready to help<5826> me, For I have chosen<977> Your precepts<6490>.
174I long<8373> for Your salvation<3444>, O LORD<3068>, And Your law<8451> is my delight<8191>.
175Let my soul<5315> live<2421> that it may praise<1984> You, And let Your ordinances<4941> help<5826> me.
176I have gone<8582> astray<8582> like a lost<6> sheep<7716>; seek<1245> Your servant<5650>, For I do not forget<7911> Your commandments<4687>.
