Chapter 119 | |
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. | |
Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. | |
They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. | |
Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. | |
O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! |
|
Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. | |
I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. | |
I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly. | |
Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. | |
With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. | |
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. | |
| | Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes. |
With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. | |
I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. | |
I
will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. | |
I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. | |
Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word. | |
Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. | |
I am a stranger in the earth: hide not
thy commandments from me. | |
My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times. | |
Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments. | |
Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies. | |
Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. | |
Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors. | |
My soul
cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word. | |
I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes. | |
| | Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. |
My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word. | |
Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. | |
| | I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me. |
I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame. | |
I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart. | |
| | Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end. |
Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. | |
Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight. | |
Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. | |
Turn away mine eyes from beholding
vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way. | |
Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear. | |
Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good. | |
Behold, I have longed after thy
precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness. | |
Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word. | |
| | So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. |
And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. | |
So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever. | |
And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. | |
I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. | |
And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. | |
My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. | |
Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. | |
This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath
quickened me. | |
The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law. | |
I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself. | |
Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law. | |
| | Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. |
I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law. | |
This I had, because I kept thy precepts. | |
Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words. | |
I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word. | |
| | I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. |
I made
haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. | |
| | The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law. |
At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments. | |
I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts. | |
The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes. | |
Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word. | |
Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. | |
Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. | |
Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. | |
The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart. | |
Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law. | |
It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. | |
The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. | |
Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. | |
They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word. | |
I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. | |
Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. | |
Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight. | |
Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts. | |
Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies. | |
Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed. | |
| | My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word. |
Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me? | |
For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes. | |
How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? | |
The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law. | |
All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. | |
They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts. | |
Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep
the testimony of thy mouth. | |
For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. | |
Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. | |
They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants. | |
Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction. | |
I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me. | |
I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy precepts. | |
| | The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies. |
I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad. | |
O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day. | |
Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. | |
I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. | |
I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. | |
I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. | |
I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. | |
How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! | |
Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. | |
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. | |
I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. | |
I am
afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word. | |
Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments. | |
My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. | |
| | The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts. |
Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. | |
I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end. | |
I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. | |
Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. | |
Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. | |
Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. | |
Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. | |
Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. | |
Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. | |
My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. | |
I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors. | |
Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. | |
| | Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness. |
Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. | |
I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. | |
| | It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law. |
Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. | |
Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. | |
Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. | |
The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. | |
| | I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments. |
Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name. | |
Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. | |
Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. | |
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. | |
Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law. | |
Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments. | |
| | Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful. |
My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. | |
Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. | |
I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts. | |
Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth. | |
Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights. | |
| | The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. |
| | I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes. |
I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies. | |
I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. | |
Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word. | |
Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment. | |
They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law. | |
Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth. | |
Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever. | |
| | Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law. |
Plead my
cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word. | |
Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes. | |
| | Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to
thy judgments. |
Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies. | |
I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word. | |
Consider how I love thy
precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness. | |
Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. | |
Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. | |
| | I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. |
I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. | |
| | Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments. |
Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. | |
LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments. | |
My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly. | |
I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee. | |
Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word. | |
Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word. | |
My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes. | |
My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness. | |
Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts. | |
| | I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight. |
Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me. | |
I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments. |
