✧Blessed [are] the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. ✧2Blessed [are] they that keep his testimonies, [and that] seek him with the whole heart. ✧3They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. ✧4Thou hast commanded [us] to keep thy precepts diligently. ✧5O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! ✧6Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. ✧7I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. ✧8I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly. ✧9Wherewithal 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. ✧11Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. ✧12Blessed [art] thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes. ✧13With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. ✧14I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as [much as] in all riches. ✧15I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. ✧16I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. ✧17Deal bountifully with thy servant, [that] I may live, and keep thy word. ✧18Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. ✧19I [am] a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me. ✧20My soul breaketh for the longing [that it hath] unto thy judgments at all times. ✧21Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed, which do err from thy commandments. ✧22Remove 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. ✧24Thy testimonies also [are] my delight [and] my counsellors. ✧25My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word. ✧26I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes. ✧27Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. ✧28My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word. ✧29Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. ✧30I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid [before me]. ✧31I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame. ✧32I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart. ✧33Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it [unto] the end. ✧34Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with [my] whole heart. ✧35Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight. ✧36Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. ✧37Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; [and] quicken thou me in thy way. ✧38Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who [is devoted] to thy fear. ✧39Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments [are] good. ✧40Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness. ✧41Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, [even] thy salvation, according to thy word. ✧42So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. ✧43And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. ✧44So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever. ✧45And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. ✧46I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. ✧47And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. ✧48My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. ✧49Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. ✧50This [is] my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me. ✧51The proud have had me greatly in derision: [yet] have I not declined from thy law. ✧52I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself. ✧53Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law. ✧54Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. ✧55I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law. ✧56This I had, because I kept thy precepts. ✧57[Thou art] my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words. ✧58I intreated thy favour with [my] whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word. ✧59I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. ✧60I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. ✧61The bands of the wicked have robbed me: [but] I have not forgotten thy law. ✧62At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments. ✧63I [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. ✧65Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word. ✧66Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. ✧67Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. ✧68Thou [art] good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. ✧69The proud have forged a lie against me: [but] I will keep thy precepts with [my] whole heart. ✧70Their 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. ✧72The law of thy mouth [is] better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. ✧73Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. ✧74They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word. ✧75I know, 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. ✧77Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law [is] my delight. ✧78Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: [but] I will meditate in thy precepts. ✧79Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies. ✧80Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed. ✧81My soul fainteth for thy salvation: [but] I hope in thy word. ✧82Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me? ✧83For 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 persecute me? ✧85The proud have digged pits for me, which [are] not after thy law. ✧86All thy commandments [are] faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. ✧87They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts. ✧88Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth. ✧89For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. ✧90Thy faithfulness [is] unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. ✧91They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all [are] thy servants. ✧92Unless thy law [had been] my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction. ✧93I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me. ✧94I [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. ✧96I have seen an end of all perfection: [but] thy commandment [is] exceeding broad. ✧97O how love I thy law! it [is] my meditation all the day. ✧98Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they [are] ever with me. ✧99I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies [are] my meditation. ✧100I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. ✧101I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. ✧102I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. ✧103How sweet are thy words unto my taste! [yea, sweeter] than honey to my mouth! ✧104Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. ✧105Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. ✧106I have sworn, and I will perform [it], that I will keep thy righteous judgments. ✧107I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word. ✧108Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments. ✧109My soul [is] continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. ✧110The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts. ✧111Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they [are] the rejoicing of my heart. ✧112I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, [even unto] the end. ✧113I hate [vain] thoughts: but thy law do I love. ✧114Thou [art] my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. ✧115Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. ✧116Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. ✧117Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. ✧118Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit [is] falsehood. ✧119Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth [like] dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. ✧120My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. ✧121I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors. ✧122Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. ✧123Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness. ✧124Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. ✧125I [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. ✧127Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. ✧128Therefore I esteem all [thy] precepts [concerning] all [things to be] right; [and] I hate every false way. ✧129Thy testimonies [are] wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. ✧130The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. ✧131I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments. ✧132Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name. ✧133Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. ✧134Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. ✧135Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. ✧136Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law. ✧137Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, and upright [are] thy judgments. ✧138Thy testimonies [that] thou hast commanded [are] righteous and very faithful. ✧139My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. ✧140Thy word [is] very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. ✧141I [am] small and despised: [yet] do not I forget thy precepts. ✧142Thy righteousness [is] an everlasting righteousness, and thy law [is] the truth. ✧143Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: [yet] thy commandments [are] my delights. ✧144The righteousness of thy testimonies [is] everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. ✧145I cried with [my] whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes. ✧146I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies. ✧147I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. ✧148Mine eyes prevent the [night] watches, that I might meditate in thy word. ✧149Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment. ✧150They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law. ✧151Thou [art] near, O LORD; and all thy commandments [are] truth. ✧152Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever. ✧153Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law. ✧154Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word. ✧155Salvation [is] far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes. ✧156Great [are] thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments. ✧157Many [are] my persecutors and mine enemies; [yet] do I not decline from thy testimonies. ✧158I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word. ✧159Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness. ✧160Thy word [is] true [from] the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments [endureth] for ever. ✧161Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. ✧162I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. ✧163I hate and abhor lying: [but] thy law do I love. ✧164Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments. ✧165Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. ✧166LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments. ✧167My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly. ✧168I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways [are] before thee. ✧169Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word. ✧170Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word. ✧171My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes. ✧172My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments [are] righteousness. ✧173Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts. ✧174I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law [is] my delight. ✧175Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me. ✧176I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.
