| 1 | 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 my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! |
| 6 | Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. |
| 7 | I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. |
| 8 | I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly. |
| 9 | Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed {thereto} according to thy word. |
| 10 | With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. |
| 11 | Thy word 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 have rejoiced 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. |
| 17 | Deal bountifully with thy servant, {that} I may live, and keep thy word. |
| 18 | Open thou mine eyes, 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 judgments at all times. |
| 21 | Thou hast rebuked the proud {that are} cursed, which do err from thy commandments. |
| 22 | Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies. |
| 23 | Princes also did sit {and} speak against me: {but} thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. |
| 24 | Thy testimonies also {are} my delight {and} my counsellers. |
| 25 | My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word. |
| 26 | I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes. |
| 27 | Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. |
| 28 | My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word. |
| 29 | Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. |
| 30 | I have chosen the way of truth: 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. |
| 33 | Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it {unto} the end. |
| 34 | Give me understanding, 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 thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. |
| 37 | Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; {and} quicken thou me in thy way. |
| 38 | Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who {is devoted} to thy fear. |
| 39 | Turn 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 | Let thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord, {even} thy salvation, according to thy word. |
| 42 | So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth 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 | My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. |
| 49 | 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 of old, O Lord; and have comforted myself. |
| 53 | Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked 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 | {Thou art} my portion, O Lord: I have said that I would keep thy words. |
| 58 | I intreated thy favour with {my} whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word. |
| 59 | I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. |
| 60 | I made haste, and delayed 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 righteous judgments. |
| 63 | I {am} a companion of all {them} that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts. |
| 64 | The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes. |
| 65 | 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 thy word. |
| 68 | Thou {art} good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. |
| 69 | The proud have forged a lie against 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 | Thy hands have 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 | I know, O Lord, that thy judgments {are} right, and {that} thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. |
| 76 | Let, 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 the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: {but} I will meditate in thy precepts. |
| 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 | My soul fainteth for thy salvation: {but} I hope in thy word. |
| 82 | Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me? |
| 83 | For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; {yet} do I not forget thy statutes. |
| 84 | How many {are} the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? |
| 85 | The proud have digged pits for me, which {are} not after thy law. |
| 86 | All thy commandments {are} faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. |
| 87 | They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts. |
| 88 | Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth. |
| 89 | For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven. |
| 90 | Thy faithfulness {is} unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. |
| 91 | They continue 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. |
| 95 | The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: {but} I will consider thy testimonies. |
| 96 | I have seen an end of all perfection: {but} thy commandment {is} exceeding broad. |
| 97 | O how love I thy law! it {is} my meditation all the day. |
| 98 | Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they {are} ever with me. |
| 99 | I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies {are} my meditation. |
| 100 | I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. |
| 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 my taste! {yea, sweeter} than honey to my mouth! |
| 104 | Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. |
| 105 | Thy word {is} a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. |
| 106 | I have sworn, and I will perform {it}, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. |
| 107 | I am afflicted 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 {is} continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. |
| 110 | The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred 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 | I hate {vain} thoughts: but thy law do I love. |
| 114 | Thou {art} my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. |
| 115 | Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments 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 respect unto 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 I love thy testimonies. |
| 120 | My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. |
| 121 | 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 thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. |
| 128 | Therefore I esteem all {thy} precepts {concerning} all {things to be} right; {and} I hate every false way. |
| 129 | Thy testimonies {are} wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. |
| 130 | The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. |
| 131 | I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments. |
| 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 to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. |
| 136 | Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law. |
| 137 | Righteous {art} thou, O Lord, and upright {are} thy judgments. |
| 138 | Thy testimonies {that} thou hast commanded {are} righteous and very faithful. |
| 139 | My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. |
| 140 | Thy word {is} very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. |
| 141 | I {am} small and despised: {yet} do not I forget thy precepts. |
| 142 | Thy righteousness {is} an everlasting righteousness, and thy law {is} the truth. |
| 143 | Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: {yet} thy commandments {are} my delights. |
| 144 | The righteousness of thy testimonies {is} everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. |
| 145 | I cried with {my} whole heart; hear me, O Lord: I will keep thy statutes. |
| 146 | I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies. |
| 147 | I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. |
| 148 | Mine eyes prevent the {night} watches, that I might meditate in thy word. |
| 149 | Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O Lord, quicken me according to thy judgment. |
| 150 | They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law. |
| 151 | Thou {art} near, O Lord; and all thy commandments {are} truth. |
| 152 | Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever. |
| 153 | Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law. |
| 154 | Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word. |
| 155 | Salvation {is} far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes. |
| 156 | Great {are} thy tender mercies, O Lord: quicken me according to thy judgments. |
| 157 | Many {are} my persecutors and mine enemies; {yet} do I not decline from thy testimonies. |
| 158 | I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word. |
| 159 | Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O Lord, according to thy lovingkindness. |
| 160 | Thy word {is} true {from} the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments {endureth} for ever. |
| 161 | Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. |
| 162 | I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. |
| 163 | I hate and abhor lying: {but} thy law do I love. |
| 164 | Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments. |
| 165 | Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. |
| 166 | Lord, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments. |
| 167 | My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly. |
| 168 | I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways {are} before thee. |
| 169 | Let my cry come near before thee, O Lord: give me understanding according to thy word. |
| 170 | Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word. |
| 171 | My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes. |
| 172 | My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments {are} righteousness. |
| 173 | Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts. |
| 174 | I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord; and thy law {is} my delight. |
| 175 | Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me. |
| 176 | I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments. |
