Psalms 106:1-119:176

Darby(i) 1 Hallelujah! Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever. 2 Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? [who] can shew forth all his praise? 3 Blessed are they that keep justice, [and] he that doeth righteousness at all times. 4 Remember me, O Jehovah, with [thy] favour toward thy people; visit me with thy salvation: 5 That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the joy of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance. 6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. 7 Our fathers in Egypt considered not thy wondrous works; they remembered not the multitude of thy loving-kindnesses; but they rebelled at the sea, at the Red Sea. 8 Yet he saved them for his name`s sake, that he might make known his might. 9 And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; and he led them through the deeps as through a wilderness. 10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated [them], and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. 11 And the waters covered their oppressors: there was not one of them left. 12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise. 13 They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel: 14 And they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted ?God in the desert. 15 Then he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul. 16 And they envied Moses in the camp, [and] Aaron, the saint of Jehovah. 17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram; 18 And fire was kindled in their company; a flame burned up the wicked. 19 They made a calf in Horeb, and did homage to a molten image; 20 And they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass. 21 They forgot ?God their Saviour, who had done great things in Egypt, 22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, terrible things by the Red Sea. 23 And he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses, his chosen, stood before him in the breach, to turn away his fury, lest he should destroy [them]. 24 And they despised the pleasant land; they believed not his word, 25 But murmured in their tents: they hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah. 26 And he lifted up his hand to them, that he would make them fall in the wilderness; 27 And that he would make their seed fall among the nations, and disperse them through the countries. 28 And they joined themselves unto Baal-Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead; 29 And they provoked [him] to anger with their doings; and a plague broke out among them. 30 Then stood up Phinehas and executed judgment, and the plague was stayed; 31 And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, from generation to generation, for evermore. 32 And they moved him to wrath at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account; 33 For they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips. 34 They did not destroy the peoples, as Jehovah commanded them; 35 But they mingled with the nations, and learned their works; 36 And they served their idols; and they were a snare unto them: 37 And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons, 38 And shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood. 39 And they were defiled with their works, and went a-whoring in their doings. 40 Then was the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he abhorred his inheritance; 41 And he gave them into the hand of the nations; and they that hated them ruled over them: 42 And their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand. 43 Often did he deliver them; but as for them they provoked [him] by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquity. 44 But he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry; 45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses; 46 And he caused them to find compassion of all those that had carried them captives. 47 Save us, Jehovah our God, and gather us from among the nations, to give thanks unto thy holy name, [and] to triumph in thy praise. 48 Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, from eternity and to eternity! And let all the people say, Amen! Hallelujah! 107 1 Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever. 2 Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the oppressor, 3 And gathered out of the countries, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the sea. 4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way, they found no city of habitation; 5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them: 6 Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, [and] he delivered them out of their distresses, 7 And he led them forth by a right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. 8 Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men; 9 For he hath satisfied the longing soul and filled the hungry soul with good. 10 Such as inhabit darkness and the shadow of death, bound in affliction and iron, 11 Because they had rebelled against the words of ?God, and had despised the counsel of the Most High; ... 12 And he bowed down their heart with labour; they stumbled, and there was none to help: 13 Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, [and] he saved them out of their distresses; 14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bands in sunder. 15 Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men; 16 For he hath broken the gates of bronze, and cut asunder the bars of iron. 17 Fools, because of their way of transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted; 18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of food, and they draw near unto the gates of death: 19 Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, [and] he saveth them out of their distresses; 20 He sendeth his word, and healeth them, and delivereth them from their destructions. 21 Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men, 22 And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works in joyful song. 23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters, 24 These see the works of Jehovah, and his wonders in the deep. 25 For he speaketh, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof: 26 They mount up to the heavens, they go down to the depths; their soul is melted because of trouble; 27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and they are at their wits` end: 28 Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses; 29 He maketh the storm a calm, and the waves thereof are still: 30 And they rejoice because they are quiet; and he bringeth them unto their desired haven. 31 Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men; 32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the session of the elders. 33 He maketh rivers into a wilderness, and water-springs into dry ground; 34 A fruitful land into a plain of salt, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. 35 He maketh the wilderness into a pool of water, and the dry land into water-springs; 36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, and they establish a city of habitation; 37 And sow fields, and plant vineyards, which yield fruits of increase; 38 And he blesseth them, so that they are multiplied greatly; and he suffereth not their cattle to decrease. 39 And they are diminished and brought low, through oppression, adversity, and sorrow: 40 He poureth contempt upon nobles, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste; 41 But he secureth the needy one on high from affliction, and maketh [him] families like flocks. 42 The upright shall see it, and rejoice; and all unrighteousness shall stop its mouth. 43 Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them understand the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah. 108 1 {A Song, a Psalm of David.} My heart is fixed, O God: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms, even [with] my glory. 2 Awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn. 3 I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Jehovah; of thee will I sing psalms among the nations: 4 For thy loving-kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is unto the clouds. 5 Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, and thy glory above all the earth. 6 That thy beloved ones may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me. 7 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 8 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver; 9 Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; over Philistia will I shout aloud. 10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom? 11 [Wilt] not [thou], O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies? 12 Give us help from trouble; for vain is man`s deliverance. 13 Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries. 109 1 {To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm.} O God of my praise, be not silent: 2 For the mouth of the wicked [man] and the mouth of deceit are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue, 3 And with words of hatred have they encompassed me; and they fight against me without a cause. 4 For my love they are mine adversaries; but I [give myself unto] prayer. 5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. 6 Set a wicked [man] over him, and let [the] adversary stand at his right hand; 7 When he shall be judged, let him go out guilty, and let his prayer become sin; 8 Let his days be few, let another take his office; 9 Let his sons be fatherless, and his wife a widow; 10 Let his sons be vagabonds and beg, and let them seek [their bread] far from their desolate places; 11 Let the usurer cast the net over all that he hath, and let strangers despoil his labour; 12 Let there be none to extend kindness unto him, neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children; 13 Let his posterity be cut off; in the generation following let their name be blotted out: 14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out; 15 Let them be before Jehovah continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth: 16 Because he remembered not to shew kindness, but persecuted the afflicted and needy man, and the broken in heart, to slay him. 17 And he loved cursing; so let it come unto him. And he delighted not in blessing; and let it be far from him. 18 And he clothed himself with cursing like his vestment; so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones; 19 Let it be unto him as a garment with which he covereth himself, and for a girdle wherewith he is constantly girded. 20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, and of them that speak evil against my soul. 21 But do *thou* for me, Jehovah, Lord, for thy name`s sake; because thy loving-kindness is good, deliver me: 22 For I am afflicted and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. 23 I am gone like a shadow when it lengtheneth; I am tossed about like the locust; 24 My knees are failing through fasting, and my flesh hath lost its fatness; 25 And I am become a reproach unto them; [when] they look upon me they shake their heads. 26 Help me, Jehovah my God; save me according to thy loving-kindness: 27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that *thou*, Jehovah, hast done it. 28 Let *them* curse, but bless *thou*; when they rise up, let them be ashamed, and let thy servant rejoice. 29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with confusion, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle. 30 I will greatly celebrate Jehovah with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude. 31 For he standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those that judge his soul. 110 1 {Psalm of David.} Jehovah said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet. 2 Jehovah shall send the sceptre of thy might out of Zion: rule in the midst of thine enemies. 3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in holy splendour: from the womb of the morning [shall come] to thee the dew of thy youth. 4 Jehovah hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art priest for ever after the order of Melchisedek. 5 The Lord at thy right hand will smite through kings in the day of his anger. 6 He shall judge among the nations; he shall fill [all places] with dead bodies; he shall smite through the head over a great country. 7 He shall drink of the brook in the way; therefore shall he lift up the head. 111 1 Hallelujah! I will celebrate Jehovah with [my] whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the assembly. 2 Great are the works of Jehovah; sought out of all that delight in them. 3 His work is majesty and splendour, and his righteousness abideth for ever. 4 He hath made his wonders to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful. 5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant. 6 He hath shewn his people the power of his works, to give them the heritage of the nations. 7 The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are faithful: 8 Maintained for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness. 9 He sent deliverance unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and terrible is his name. 10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do [his precepts]: his praise abideth for ever. 112 1 Hallelujah! Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. 2 His seed shall be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright shall be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house; and his righteousness abideth for ever. 4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness; he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous. 5 It is well with the man that is gracious and lendeth; he will sustain his cause in judgment. 6 For he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. 7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is fixed confiding in Jehovah; 8 His heart is maintained, he is not afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his oppressors. 9 He scattereth abroad, he giveth to the needy; his righteousness abideth for ever: his horn shall be exalted with honour. 10 The wicked [man] shall see [it] and be vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish. 113 1 Hallelujah! Praise, ye servants of Jehovah, praise the name of Jehovah. 2 Blessed be the name of Jehovah, from this time forth and for evermore! 3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, let Jehovah`s name be praised. 4 Jehovah is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens. 5 Who is like unto Jehovah our God, who hath placed his dwelling on high; 6 Who humbleth himself to look on the heavens and on the earth? 7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust; from the dung-hill he lifteth up the needy, 8 To set [him] among nobles, among the nobles of his people. 9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [as] a joyful mother of sons. Hallelujah! 114 1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language, 2 Judah was his sanctuary, Israel his dominion. 3 The sea saw it and fled, the Jordan turned back; 4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs. 5 What ailed thee, thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou turnedst back? 6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? ye hills, like lambs? 7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the +God of Jacob, 8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters. 115 1 Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth`s sake. 2 Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God? 3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased. 4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men`s hands: 5 They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not; 6 They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not; 7 They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat. 8 They that make them are like unto them, -- every one that confideth in them. 9 O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield. 10 House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield. 11 Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield. 12 Jehovah hath been mindful of us: he will bless, he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron; 13 He will bless them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great. 14 Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children. 15 Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth. 16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men. 17 The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence; 18 But *we* will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah! 116 1 I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications; 2 For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during [all] my days. 3 The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow: 4 Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: I beseech thee, Jehovah, deliver my soul. 5 Gracious is Jehovah and righteous; and our God is merciful. 6 Jehovah keepeth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me. 7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee. 8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, my feet from falling. 9 I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living. 10 I believed, therefore have I spoken. As for me, I was greatly afflicted. 11 I said in my haste, All men are liars. 12 What shall I render unto Jehovah, [for] all his benefits toward me? 13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Jehovah. 14 I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people. 15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints. 16 Yea, Jehovah! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. 17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Jehovah. 18 I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people, 19 In the courts of Jehovah`s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah! 117 1 Praise Jehovah, all ye nations; laud him, all ye peoples; 2 For his loving-kindness is great toward us, and the truth of Jehovah [endureth] for ever. Hallelujah! 118 1 Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever. 2 Oh let Israel say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever. 3 Oh let the house of Aaron say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever. 4 Oh let them that fear Jehovah say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever. 5 I called upon Jah in distress; Jah answered me [and set me] in a large place. 6 Jehovah is for me, I will not fear; what can man do unto me? 7 Jehovah is for me among them that help me; and I shall see [my desire] upon them that hate me. 8 It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in man; 9 It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in nobles. 10 All nations encompassed me; but in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them. 11 They encompassed me, yea, encompassed me; but in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them. 12 They encompassed me like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them. 13 Thou hast thrust hard at me that I might fall; but Jehovah helped me. 14 My strength and song is Jah, and he is become my salvation. 15 The voice of triumph and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: the right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly; 16 The right hand of Jehovah is exalted, the right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly. 17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of Jah. 18 Jah hath chastened me sore; but he hath not given me over unto death. 19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them; Jah will I praise. 20 This is the gate of Jehovah: the righteous shall enter therein. 21 I will give thee thanks, for thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation. 22 [The] stone which the builders rejected hath become the head of the corner: 23 This is of Jehovah; it is wonderful in our eyes. 24 This is the day that Jehovah hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 25 Oh save, Jehovah, I beseech thee; Jehovah, I beseech thee, oh send prosperity! 26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Jehovah. We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah. 27 Jehovah is ?God, and he hath given us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, -- up to the horns of the altar. 28 Thou art my ?God, and I will give thee thanks; my God, I will exalt thee. 29 Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever. 119 1 ALEPH. Blessed are the perfect in the way, who walk in the law of Jehovah. 2 Blessed are they that observe his testimonies, that seek him with the whole heart; 3 Who also do no unrighteousness: they walk in his ways. 4 Thou hast enjoined thy precepts, to be kept diligently. 5 Oh 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 give thee thanks with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. 8 I will keep thy statutes: forsake me not utterly. 9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his path? by taking heed according to thy word. 10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: let me not wander from thy commandments. 11 Thy ?word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee. 12 Blessed art thou, Jehovah! 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 wealth. 15 I will meditate upon thy precepts, and have respect unto thy paths. 16 I delight myself in thy statutes; I will not forget thy word. 17 GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant [and] I shall live; and I will keep thy word. 18 Open mine eyes, and I shall behold wondrous things out of thy law. 19 I am a stranger in the land; hide not thy commandments from me. 20 My soul breaketh for longing after thy judgments at all times. 21 Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed, who wander from thy commandments. 22 Roll off from me reproach and contempt; for I observe thy testimonies. 23 Princes also did sit [and] talk together against me: thy servant doth meditate in thy statutes. 24 Thy testimonies also are my delight [and] my counsellors. 25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken me according to thy word. 26 I have declared my ways, and thou hast answered me: teach me thy statutes. 27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts, and I will meditate upon thy wondrous works. 28 My soul melteth for sadness: strengthen me according to thy word. 29 Remove from me the way of falsehood, and graciously grant me thy law. 30 I have chosen the way of faithfulness; thy judgments have I set [before me]. 31 I cleave unto thy testimonies; Jehovah, let me not be ashamed. 32 I will run the way of thy commandments when thou shalt enlarge my heart. 33 HE. Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of thy statutes, and I will observe it [unto] the end. 34 Give me understanding, and I will observe thy law; and I will keep it with [my] whole heart. 35 Make me to walk in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight. 36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to gain. 37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; quicken me in thy way. 38 Establish 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 VAU. And let thy loving-kindness come unto me, O Jehovah, -- thy salvation according to thy ?word. 42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me; for I confide in thy word. 43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; because I have hoped in thy judgments. 44 Then will I keep thy law continually, for ever and ever; 45 And I will walk at liberty, for I have sought thy precepts; 46 And I will speak of thy testimonies before kings, and will not be ashamed; 47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved; 48 And I will lift up my hands unto thy commandments, which I have loved, and I will meditate in thy statutes. 49 ZAIN. Remember the word for thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. 50 This is my comfort in mine affliction; for thy ?word hath quickened me. 51 The proud have derided me beyond measure: I have not declined from thy law. 52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O Jehovah, and have comforted myself. 53 Burning indignation hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked who forsake thy law. 54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. 55 I have remembered thy name, O Jehovah, in the night, and have kept thy law. 56 This I have had, because I have observed thy precepts. 57 CHETH. My portion, O Jehovah, I have said, is to keep thy words. 58 I have sought thy favour with [my] whole heart: be gracious unto me according to thy ?word. 59 I have thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. 60 I have made haste, and not delayed, to keep thy commandments. 61 The bands of the wicked have wrapped me round: I have not forgotten thy law. 62 At midnight I rise up to give thanks unto thee, because of thy righteous judgments. 63 I am the companion of all that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts. 64 The earth, O Jehovah, is full of thy loving-kindness: teach me thy statutes. 65 TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Jehovah, according to thy word. 66 Teach me good discernment and knowledge; for I have believed in thy commandments. 67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep thy ?word. 68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. 69 The proud have forged falsehood against me: I will observe thy precepts with [my] whole heart. 70 Their heart is as fat as grease: as for me, 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 YOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, and I will learn thy commandments. 74 They that fear thee will see me, and rejoice; because I have hoped in thy word. 75 I know, Jehovah, that thy Judgments are righteousness, and that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me. 76 Oh let thy loving-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 have acted perversely towards me with falsehood: as for me, I meditate in thy precepts. 79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that know thy testimonies. 80 Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes, that I be not ashamed. 81 CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation; 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; I do not forget thy statutes. 84 How many shall be the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? 85 The proud have digged pits for me, which is not according to thy law. 86 All thy commandments are faithfulness. They persecute me wrongfully: help thou me. 87 They had almost consumed me upon the earth; but as for me, I forsook not thy precepts. 88 Quicken me according to thy loving-kindness, and I will keep the testimony of thy mouth. 89 LAMED. For ever, O Jehovah, thy word is settled in the heavens. 90 Thy faithfulness is from generation to generation: thou hast established the earth, and it standeth. 91 By thine ordinances they stand this day; for all things are thy servants. 92 Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction. 93 I will never forget thy precepts; for by them thou hast quickened me. 94 I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts. 95 The wicked have awaited me to destroy me; [but] I attend unto thy testimonies. 96 I have seen an end of all perfection: thy commandment is exceeding broad. 97 MEM. Oh how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day. 98 Thy commandments make 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 aged, because I have observed thy precepts. 101 I have refrained my feet from every evil path, that I might keep thy word. 102 I have not departed from thy judgments; for it is thou that hast taught me. 103 How sweet are thy ?words unto my taste! more than honey to my mouth! 104 From thy precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false path. 105 NUN. 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; O Jehovah, quicken me according to thy word. 108 Accept, I beseech thee, Jehovah, the voluntary-offerings of my mouth, and teach me thy judgments. 109 My life is continually in my hand; but I do not forget thy law. 110 The wicked have laid a snare for me; but I have not wandered from thy precepts. 111 Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever; for they are the rejoicing of my heart. 112 I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes for ever, unto the end. 113 SAMECH. The double-minded have I hated; 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 evil-doers; and I will observe the commandments of my God. 116 Uphold me according to 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 set at nought all them that wander 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 shuddereth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. 121 AIN. 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 to thy loving-kindness, and teach me thy statutes. 125 I am thy servant; give me understanding that I may know thy testimonies. 126 It is time for Jehovah to work: they have made void thy law. 127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold, yea, above fine gold. 128 Therefore I regard all [thy] precepts concerning all things to be right: I hate every false path. 129 PE. Thy testimonies are wonderful; therefore doth my soul observe them. 130 The entrance of thy words giveth light, giving understanding unto the simple. 131 I opened my mouth wide and panted; for I longed for thy commandments. 132 Turn unto me, and be gracious unto me, as thou art wont to do unto those that love thy name. 133 Establish my steps in thy ?word; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. 134 Deliver me from the oppression of man; and I will keep thy precepts. 135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant, and teach me thy statutes. 136 Mine eyes run down with streams of water, because they keep not thy law. 137 TZADE. Righteous art thou, Jehovah, and upright are thy judgments. 138 Thou hast commanded thy testimonies in righteousness and exceeding faithfulness. 139 My zeal destroyeth me, because mine oppressors have forgotten thy words. 140 Thy ?word is exceeding pure, and thy servant loveth it. 141 I am little and despised: thy precepts have I not forgotten. 142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is truth. 143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold upon me: thy commandments are my delights. 144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is for ever: give me understanding, and I shall live. 145 KOPH. I have called with [my] whole heart; answer me, O Jehovah: I will observe thy statutes. 146 I call upon thee; save me, and I will keep thy testimonies. 147 I anticipate the morning-dawn and I cry: I hope in thy word. 148 Mine eyes anticipate the night-watches, that I may meditate in thy ?word. 149 Hear my voice according to thy loving-kindness: O Jehovah, quicken me according to thy judgment. 150 They have drawn nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law. 151 Thou, Jehovah, art near, and all thy commandments are truth. 152 From thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever. 153 RESH. See mine affliction, and deliver me; for I have not forgotten thy law. 154 Plead my cause, and redeem me: quicken me according to thy ?word. 155 Salvation is far from the wicked; for they seek not thy statutes. 156 Many are thy tender mercies, O Jehovah; quicken me according to thy judgments. 157 Many are my persecutors and mine oppressors; I have not declined from thy testimonies. 158 I beheld them that deal treacherously, and was grieved; because they kept not thy ?word. 159 See how I have loved thy precepts: quicken me, O Jehovah, according to thy loving-kindness. 160 The sum of thy word is truth, and every righteous judgment of thine is for ever. 161 SHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause; but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. 162 I have joy in thy ?word, as one that findeth great spoil. 163 I hate and abhor falsehood; thy law do I love. 164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments. 165 Great peace have they that love thy law, and nothing doth stumble them. 166 I have hoped for thy salvation, O Jehovah, and have 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 TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, Jehovah: give me understanding according to thy word. 170 Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy ?word. 171 My lips shall pour forth praise when thou hast taught me thy statutes. 172 My tongue shall speak aloud of thy ?word; for all thy commandments are righteousness. 173 Let thy hand be for my help; for I have chosen thy precepts. 174 I have longed for thy salvation, O Jehovah, 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 have not forgotten thy commandments.
