Psalms: 119

119:21Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.

119:22Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.

119:23Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.

119:24Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.

119:25DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.

119:26I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.

119:27Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.

119:28My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.

119:29Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.

119:30I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.

119:31I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.

119:32I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.

119:33HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.

119:34Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

119:35Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.

119:36Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.

119:37Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.

119:38Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.

119:39Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.

119:40Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.

119:41VAU. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.

119:42So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.

119:43And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.

119:44So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.

119:45And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.

119:46I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.

119:47And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.

119:48My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.

119:49ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.

119:50This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.

119:51The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law.

119:52I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.

119:53Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.

119:54Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

119:55I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.

119:56This I had, because I kept thy precepts.

119:57CHETH. Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.

119:58I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.

119:59I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.

119:60I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.

119:61The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.

119:62At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.

119:63I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.

119:64The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.

119:65TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word.

119:66Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.

119:67Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.

119:68Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.

119:69The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.

119:70Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.
