- 1 ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. 2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. 3 They also do no iniquity:they walk in his ways. 4 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. 5 O that myways were directed to keep thy statutes! 6 Then shall I not be ashamed , when I have respectunto all thy commandments. 7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall havelearned thy righteous judgments. 8 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly. 9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. 10With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. 11 Thyword have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. 12 Blessed art thou, O LORD:teach me thy statutes. 13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. 14 I haverejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. 15 I will meditate in thy precepts,and have respect unto thy ways. 16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. 17GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live , and keep thy word. 18 Open thou mineeyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. 19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me. 20 My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgmentsat all times. 21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed , which do err from thycommandments. 22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies. 23Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. 24 Thytestimonies also are my delight and my counsellors . 25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust:quicken thou me according to thy word. 26 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teachme thy statutes. 27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrousworks . 28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word. 29Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously . 30 I have chosen the way oftruth: thy judgments have I laid before me. 31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame . 32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart. 33HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end. 34 Give meunderstanding , and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. 35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight . 36 Incline my heart unto thytestimonies, and not to covetousness. 37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; andquicken thou me in thy way. 38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear. 39Turn away my reproach which I fear : for thy judgments are good. 40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness. 41 VAU. Let thy mercies come also unto me, OLORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word. 42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him thatreproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. 43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth;for I have hoped in thy judgments. 44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever. 45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. 46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed . 47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved . 48 Myhands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved ; and I will meditate in thystatutes. 49 ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. 50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me. 51 The proud have had me greatly in derision : yet have I not declined from thy law. 52 I remembered thy judgments ofold, O LORD; and have comforted myself. 53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of thewicked that forsake thy law. 54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.55 I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law. 56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts. 57 CHETH. Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I wouldkeep thy words. 58 I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thyword. 59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. 60 I made haste , anddelayed not to keep thy commandments. 61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law. 62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteousjudgments. 63 I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts. 64The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes. 65 TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word. 66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. 67 Before I was afflicted I went astray : but now have I kept thyword. 68 Thou art good, and doest good ; teach me thy statutes. 69 The proud have forged a lieagainst me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart. 70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law. 71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted ; that I might learn thy statutes.72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. 73 JOD. Thy handshave made me and fashioned me: give me understanding , that I may learn thy commandments.74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word. 75 Iknow , O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. 76Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort , according to thy word unto thy servant.77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live : for thy law is my delight. 78 Let theproud be ashamed ; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thyprecepts. 79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed . 81 CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word. 82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying , When wilt thoucomfort me? 83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes. 84How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecuteme? 85 The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law. 86 All thy commandmentsare faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. 87 They had almost consumed me uponearth; but I forsook not thy precepts. 88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep thetestimony of thy mouth. 89 LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. 90 Thyfaithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth . 91 Theycontinue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants. 92 Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction. 93 I will never forget thy precepts:for with them thou hast quickened me. 94 I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts. 95The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies. 96 I have seenan end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad. 97 MEM. O how love I thy law!it is my meditation all the day. 98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mineenemies : for they are ever with me. 99 I have more understanding than all my teachers : for thytestimonies are my meditation. 100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thyprecepts. 101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. 102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. 103 How sweet are thy words unto mytaste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! 104 Through thy precepts I get understanding : therefore I hate every false way. 105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto mypath. 106 I have sworn , and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. 107 I amafflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word. 108 Accept , I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments. 109 My soul iscontinually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. 110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet Ierred not from thy precepts. 111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. 112 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end. 113 SAMECH. I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love . 114 Thou art my hiding placeand my shield: I hope in thy word. 115 Depart from me, ye evildoers : for I will keep thecommandments of my God. 116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live : and let me not be ashamed of my hope. 117 Hold thou me up , and I shall be safe : and I will have respectunto thy statutes continually. 118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. 119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore Ilove thy testimonies. 120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.121 AIN. I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors . 122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. 123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness. 124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. 125 I am thy servant; give me understanding , that I may know thy testimonies. 126 It is time for thee, LORD, to work : for they have made void thy law. 127 Therefore I love thycommandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. 128 Therefore I esteem all thy preceptsconcerning all things to be right ; and I hate every false way. 129 PE. Thy testimonies arewonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. 130 The entrance of thy words giveth light ; it givethunderstanding unto the simple. 131 I opened my mouth, and panted : for I longed for thycommandments. 132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name. 133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. 134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. 135 Make thy face toshine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. 136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes,because they keep not thy law. 137 TZADDI.
