Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.
|
2
|
Blessed are they that search his testimonies: that seek him with their whole heart.
|
3
|
For they that work iniquity, have not walked in his ways.
|
4
|
Thou hast commanded thy commandments to be kept most diligently.
|
5
|
O! that my ways may be directed to keep thy justifications.
|
6
|
Then shall I not be confounded, when I shall look into all thy commandments.
|
7
|
I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned the judgments of thy justice.
|
8
|
I will keep thy justifications: O! do not thou utterly forsake me.
|
9
|
By what doth a young man correct his way? by observing thy words.
|
10
|
With my whole heart have I sought after thee: let me not stray from thy commandments.
|
11
|
Thy words have I hidden in my heart, that I may not sin against thee.
|
12
|
Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy justifications.
|
13
|
With my lips I have pronounced all the judgments of thy mouth.
|
14
|
I have been delighted in the way of thy testimonies, as in all riches.
|
15
|
I will meditate on thy commandments: and I will consider thy ways.
|
16
|
I will think of thy justifications: I will not forget thy words.
|
17
|
Give bountifully to thy servant, enliven me: and I shall keep thy words.
|
18
|
Open thou my eyes: and I will consider the wondrous things of thy law.
|
19
|
I am a sojourner on the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
|
20
|
My soul hath coveted to long for thy justifications, at all times.
|
21
|
Thou hast rebuked the proud: they are cursed who decline from thy commandments.
|
22
|
Remove from me reproach and contempt: because I have sought after thy testimonies.
|
23
|
For princes sat, and spoke against me: but thy servant was employed in thy justifications.
|
24
|
For thy testimonies are my meditation: and thy justifications my counsel.
|
25
|
My soul hath cleaved to the pavement: quicken thou me according to thy word.
|
26
|
I have declared my ways, and thou hast heard me: teach me thy justifications.
|
27
|
Make me to understand the way of thy justifications: and I shall be exercised in thy wondrous works.
|
28
|
My soul hath slumbered through heaviness: strengthen thou me in thy words.
|
29
|
Remove from me the way of iniquity: and out of thy law have mercy on me.
|
30
|
I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments I have not forgotten.
|
31
|
I have stuck to thy testimonies, O Lord: put me not to shame.
|
32
|
I have run the way of thy commandments, when thou didst enlarge my heart.
|
33
|
Set before me for a law the way of thy justifications, O Lord: and I will always seek after it.
|
34
|
Give me understanding, and I will search thy law; and I will keep it with my whole heart.
|
35
|
Lead me into the path of thy commandments; for this same I have desired.
|
36
|
Incline my heart into thy testimonies and not to covetousness.
|
37
|
Turn away my eyes that they may not behold vanity: quicken me in thy way.
|
38
|
Establish thy word to thy servant, in thy fear.
|
39
|
Turn away my reproach, which I have apprehended: for thy judgments are delightful.
|
40
|
Behold I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy justice.
|
41
|
Let thy mercy also come upon me, O Lord: thy salvation according to thy word.
|
42
|
So shall I answer them that reproach me in any thing; that I have trusted in thy words.
|
43
|
And take not thou the word of truth utterly out of my mouth: for in thy words, I have hoped exceedingly.
|
44
|
So shall I always keep thy law, for ever and ever.
|
45
|
And I walked at large: because I have sought after thy commandments.
|
46
|
And I spoke of thy testimonies before kings: and I was not ashamed.
|
47
|
I meditated also on thy commandments, which I loved.
|
48
|
And I lifted up my hands to thy commandments, which I loved: and I was exercised in thy justifications.
|
49
|
Be thou mindful of thy word to thy servant, in which thou hast given me hope.
|
50
|
This hath comforted me in my humiliation: because thy word hath enlivened me.
|
51
|
The proud did iniquitously altogether: but I declined not from thy law.
|
52
|
I remembered, O Lord, thy judgments of old: and I was comforted.
|
53
|
A fainting hath taken hold of me, because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
|
54
|
Thy justifications were the subject of my song, in the place of my pilgrimage.
|
55
|
In the night I have remembered thy name, O Lord: and have kept thy law.
|
56
|
This happened to me: because I sought after thy justifications.
|
57
|
O Lord, my portion, I have said, I would keep thy law.
|
58
|
I entreated thy face with all my heart: have mercy on me according to thy word.
|
59
|
I have thought on my ways: and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
|
60
|
I am ready, and am not troubled: that I may keep thy commandments.
|
61
|
The cords of the wicked have encompassed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.
|
62
|
I rose at midnight to give praise to thee; for the judgments of thy justification.
|
63
|
I am a partaker with all them that fear thee, and that keep thy commandments.
|
64
|
The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy justifications.
|
65
|
Thou hast done well with thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word.
|
66
|
Teach me goodness and discipline and knowledge; for I have believed thy commandments.
|
67
|
Before I was humbled I offended; therefore have I kept thy word.
|
68
|
Thou art good; and in thy goodness teach me thy justifications.
|
69
|
The iniquity of the proud hath been multiplied over me: but I will seek thy commandments with my whole heart.
|
70
|
Their heart is curdled like milk: but I have meditated on thy law.
|
71
|
It is good for me that thou hast humbled me, that I may learn thy justifications.
|
72
|
The law of thy mouth is good to me, above thousands of gold and silver.
|
73
|
Thy hands have made me and formed me: give me understanding, and I will learn thy commandments.
|
74
|
They that fear thee shall see me, and shall be glad : because I have greatly hoped in thy words.
|
75
|
I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are equity: and in thy truth thou hast humbled me.
|
76
|
O! let thy mercy be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
|
77
|
Let thy tender mercies come unto me, and I shall live: for thy law is my meditation.
|
78
|
Let the proud be ashamed, because they have done unjustly towards me: but I will be employed in thy commandments.
|
79
|
Let them that fear thee turn to me: and they that know thy testimonies.
|
80
|
Let my heart be undefiled in thy justifications, that I may not be confounded.
|
81
|
My soul hath fainted after thy salvation: and in thy word I have very much hoped.
|
82
|
My eyes have failed for thy word, saying: When wilt thou comfort me?
|
83
|
For I am become like a bottle in the frost: I have not forgotten thy justifications.
|
84
|
How many are the days of thy servant: when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
|
85
|
The wicked have told me fables: but not as thy law.
|
86
|
All thy statutes are truth: they have persecuted me unjustly, do thou help me.
|
87
|
They had almost made an end of me upon earth: but I have not forsaken thy commandments.
|
88
|
Quicken thou me according to thy mercy: and I shall keep the testimonies of thy mouth.
|
89
|
For ever, O Lord, thy word standeth firm in heaven.
|
90
|
Thy truth unto all generations: thou hast founded the earth, and it continueth.
|
91
|
By thy ordinance the day goeth on: for all things serve thee.
|
92
|
Unless thy law had been my meditation, I had then perhaps perished in my abjection.
|
93
|
Thy justifications I will never forget: for by them thou hast given me life.
|
94
|
I am thine, save thou me: for I have sought thy justifications.
|
95
|
The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I have understood thy testimonies.
|
96
|
I have seen an end of all perfection: thy commandment is exceeding broad.
|
97
|
O how have I loved thy law, O Lord! it is my meditation all the day.
|
98
|
Through thy commandment, thou hast made me wiser than my enemies: for it is ever with me.
|
99
|
I have understood more than all my teachers: because thy testimonies are my meditation.
|
100
|
I have had understanding above ancients: because I have sought thy commandments.
|
101
|
I have restrained my feet from every evil way: that I may keep thy words.
|
102
|
I have not declined from thy judgments, because thou hast set me a law.
|
103
|
How sweet are thy words to my palate! more than honey to my mouth.
|
104
|
By thy commandments I have had understanding: therefore have I hated every way of iniquity.
|
105
|
Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths.
|
106
|
I have sworn and am determined to keep the judgments of thy justice.
|
107
|
I have been humbled, O Lord, exceedingly: quicken thou me according to thy word.
|
108
|
The free offerings of my mouth make acceptable, O Lord: and teach me thy judgments.
|
109
|
My soul is continually in my hands: and I have not forgotten thy law.
|
110
|
Sinners have laid a snare for me: but I have not erred from thy precepts.
|
111
|
I have purchased thy testimonies for an inheritance for ever: because they are the joy of my heart.
|
112
|
I have inclined my heart to do thy justifications for ever, for the reward.
|
113
|
I have hated the unjust: and have loved thy law.
|
114
|
Thou art my helper and my protector: and in thy word I have greatly hoped.
|
115
|
Depart from me, ye malignant: and I will search the commandments of my God.
|
116
|
Uphold me according to thy word, and I shall live: and let me not be confounded in my expectation.
|
117
|
Help me, and I shall be saved: and I will meditate always on thy justifications.
|
118
|
Thou hast despised all them that fall off from thy judgments; for their thought is unjust.
|
119
|
I have accounted all the sinners of the earth prevaricators: therefore have I loved thy testimonies.
|
120
|
Pierce thou my flesh with thy fear: for I am afraid of thy judgments.
|
121
|
I have done judgment and justice: give me not up to them that slander me.
|
122
|
Uphold thy servant unto good: let not the proud calumniate me.
|
123
|
My eyes have fainted after thy salvation: and for the word of thy justice.
|
124
|
Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy: and teach me thy justifications.
|
125
|
I am thy servant: give me understanding that I may know thy testimonies.
|
126
|
It is time, O Lord, to do: they have dissipated thy law.
|
127
|
Therefore have I loved thy commandments above gold and the topaz.
|
128
|
Therefore was I directed to all thy commandments: I have hated all wicked ways.
|
129
|
Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore my soul hath sought them.
|
130
|
The declaration of thy words giveth light: and giveth understanding to little ones.
|
131
|
I opened my mouth, and panted: because I longed for thy commandments.
|
132
|
Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me according to the judgment of them that love thy name.
|
133
|
Direct my steps according to thy word: and let no iniquity have dominion over me.
|
134
|
Redeem me from the calumnies of men: that I may keep thy commandments.
|
135
|
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: and teach me thy justifications.
|
136
|
My eyes have sent forth springs of water: because they have not kept thy law.
|
137
|
Thou art just, O Lord: and thy judgment is right.
|
138
|
Thou hast commanded justice thy testimonies: and thy truth exceedingly.
|
139
|
My zeal hath made me pine away: because my enemies forgot thy words.
|
140
|
Thy word is exceedingly refined: and thy servant hath loved it.
|
141
|
I am very young and despised; but I forget not thy justifications.
|
142
|
Thy justice is justice for ever: and thy law is the truth.
|
143
|
Trouble and anguish have found me: thy commandments are my meditation.
|
144
|
Thy testimonies are justice for ever: give me understanding, and I shall live.
|
145
|
I cried with my whole heart, hear me, O Lord: I will seek thy justifications.
|
146
|
I cried unto thee, save me: that I may keep thy commandments.
|
147
|
I prevented the dawning of the day, and cried: because in thy words I very much hoped.
|
148
|
My eyes to thee have prevented the morning: that I might meditate on thy words.
|
149
|
Hear thou my voice, O Lord, according to thy mercy: and quicken me according to thy judgment.
|
150
|
They that persecute me have drawn nigh to iniquity; but they are gone far off from thy law.
|
151
|
Thou art near, O Lord: and all thy ways are truth.
|
152
|
I have known from the beginning concerning thy testimonies: that thou hast founded them for ever.
|
153
|
See my humiliation and deliver me for I have not forgotten thy law.
|
154
|
Judge my judgment and redeem me: quicken thou me for thy word's sake.
|
155
|
Salvation is far from sinners; because they have not sought thy justifications.
|
156
|
Many, O Lord, are thy mercies: quicken me according to thy judgment.
|
157
|
Many are they that persecute me and afflict me; but I have not declined from thy testimonies.
|
158
|
I beheld the transgressors, and pined away; because they kept not thy word.
|
159
|
Behold I have loved thy commandments, O Lord; quicken me thou in thy mercy.
|
160
|
The beginning of thy words is truth: all the judgments of thy justice are for ever.
|
161
|
Princes have persecuted me without cause: and my heart hath been in awe of thy words.
|
162
|
I will rejoice at thy words, as one that hath found great spoil.
|
163
|
I have hated and abhorred iniquity; but I have loved thy law.
|
164
|
Seven times a day I have given praise to thee, for the judgments of thy justice.
|
165
|
Much peace have they that love thy law, and to them there is no stumbling block.
|
166
|
I looked for thy salvation, O Lord: and I loved thy commandments.
|
167
|
My soul hath kept thy testimonies and hath loved them exceedingly.
|
168
|
I have kept thy commandments and thy testimonies: because all my ways are in thy sight.
|
169
|
Let my supplication, O Lord, come near in thy sight: give me understanding according to thy word.
|
170
|
Let my request come in before thee; deliver thou me according to thy word.
|
171
|
My lips shall utter a hymn, when thou shalt teach me thy justifications.
|
172
|
My tongue shall pronounce thy word: because all thy commandments are justice.
|
173
|
Let thy hand be with me to save me; for I have chosen thy precepts.
|
174
|
I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord; and thy law is my meditation.
|
175
|
My soul shall live and shall praise thee: and thy judgments shall help me.
|
176
|
I have gone astray like a sheep that is lost: seek thy servant, because I have not forgotten thy commandments.
|
