Psalms 107:1-119:176 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endures forever.

KJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endures forever. ² Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy; ³ And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. ⁴ They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. ⁵ Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. ⁶ Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. ⁷ And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. ⁸ Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! ⁹ For he satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness. ¹⁰ Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and in irons; ¹¹ Because they rebelled against the words of God, and the counsel of the most High: ¹² Therefore he brought down their heart with labor; they fell down, and there was none to help. ¹³ Then they cried unto the LORD 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 asunder. ¹⁵ Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! ¹⁶ For he has broken the gates of bronze, and cut the bars of iron in two. ¹⁷ Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. ¹⁸ Their soul abhors all manner of food; and they draw near unto the gates of death. ¹⁹ Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saves them out of their distresses. ²⁰ He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. ²¹ Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! ²² And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing. ²³ They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business on great waters; ²⁴ These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. ²⁵ For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, who lifts up the waves thereof. ²⁶ They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. ²⁷ They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end. ²⁸ Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distresses. ²⁹ He makes the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. ³⁰ Then are they glad because they are quiet; so he brings them unto their desired haven. ³¹ Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! ³² Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. ³³ He turns rivers into a wilderness, and the water springs into dry ground; ³⁴ A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. ³⁵ He turns the wilderness into a pool of water, and dry ground into water springs. ³⁶ And there he makes the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation; ³⁷ And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase. ³⁸ He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and permits not their cattle to decrease. ³⁹ Again, they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. ⁴⁰ He pours contempt upon princes, and causes them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way. ⁴¹ Yet sets he the poor on high from affliction, and makes their families like a flock. ⁴² The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop its mouth. ⁴³ Whoever is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD. ¹⁰⁸ ¹ [A song. A Psalm of David.] O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. ² Awake, harp and lyre: I myself will awake early. ³ I will praise you, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto you among the nations. ⁴ For your mercy is great above the heavens: and your truth reaches unto the clouds. ⁵ Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens: and your glory above all the earth; ⁶ That your beloved may be delivered: save with your right hand, and answer me. ⁷ God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide up Shechem, and portion out the valley of Succoth. ⁸ Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the helmet of my head; Judah is my lawgiver; ⁹ Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph. ¹⁰ Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? ¹¹ Will not you, O God, who has cast us off? and will not you, O God, go forth with our armies? ¹² Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. ¹³ Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies. ¹⁰⁹ ¹ [To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] Hold not your peace, O God of my praise; ² For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. ³ They surrounded me also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. ⁴ For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer. ⁵ And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. ⁶ Set you a wicked man over him: and let an accuser stand at his right hand. ⁷ When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. ⁸ Let his days be few; and let another take his office. ⁹ Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. ¹⁰ Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. ¹¹ Let the extortioner catch all that he has; and let the strangers spoil his labor. ¹² Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children. ¹³ Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out. ¹⁴ Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. ¹⁵ Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. ¹⁶ Because he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. ¹⁷ As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. ¹⁸ As he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, so let it come into his body like water, and like oil into his bones. ¹⁹ Let it be unto him as the garment which covers him, and for a belt with which he is girded continually. ²⁰ Let this be the reward of my adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul. ²¹ But take care of me, O GOD the Lord, for your name's sake: because your mercy is good, deliver me. ²² For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. ²³ I am gone like the shadow when it declines: I am shaken off like the locust. ²⁴ My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh lacks fatness. ²⁵ I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shook their heads. ²⁶ Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to your mercy: ²⁷ That they may know that this is your hand; that you, LORD, have done it. ²⁸ Let them curse, but you bless: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let your servant rejoice. ²⁹ Let my adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. ³⁰ I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude. ³¹ For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul. ¹¹⁰ ¹ [A Psalm of David.] The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool. ² The LORD shall send the rod of your strength out of Zion: rule you in the midst of your enemies. ³ Your people shall be willing in the day of your power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: you have the dew of your youth. ⁴ The LORD has sworn, and will not relent, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. ⁵ The Lord at your right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. ⁶ He shall judge among the nations, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall crush the heads over many countries. ⁷ He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head. ¹¹¹ ¹ Praise you the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. ² The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure in them. ³ His work is honorable and glorious: and his righteousness endures forever. ⁴ He has made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion. ⁵ He has given food unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. ⁶ He has shown his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the nations. ⁷ The works of his hands are truth and justice; all his commandments are sure. ⁸ They stand fast forever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. ⁹ He sent redemption unto his people: he has commanded his covenant forever: holy and awesome is his name. ¹⁰ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endures forever. ¹¹² ¹ Praise you the LORD. Blessed is the man that fears the LORD, that delights greatly in his commandments. ² His descendants shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. ³ Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endures forever. ⁴ Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. ⁵ A good man shows favor, and lends: he will guide his affairs with discretion. ⁶ Surely he shall not be moved forever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. ⁷ He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. ⁸ His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he sees his desire upon his enemies. ⁹ He has dispersed, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his strength shall be exalted with honor. ¹⁰ The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish. ¹¹³ ¹ Praise you the LORD. Praise, O you servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. ² Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and forevermore. ³ From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD's name is to be praised. ⁴ The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. ⁵ Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwells on high, ⁶ Who humbles himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! ⁷ He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the ash heap; ⁸ That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. ⁹ He makes the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise you the LORD. ¹¹⁴ ¹ When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language; ² Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. ³ The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. ⁴ The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. ⁵ What ailed you, O you sea, that you fled? you Jordan, that you were driven back? ⁶ You mountains, that you skipped like rams; and you little hills, like lambs? ⁷ Tremble, you 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 LORD, not unto us, but unto your name give glory, for your mercy, and for your truth's sake. ² Why should the nations say, Where is now their God? ³ But our God is in the heavens: he has done whatsoever he has pleased. ⁴ Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. ⁵ They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: ⁶ They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: ⁷ They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. ⁸ They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusts in them. ⁹ O Israel, trust you in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. ¹⁰ O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. ¹¹ You that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. ¹² The LORD has been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. ¹³ He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. ¹⁴ The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. ¹⁵ You are blessed of the LORD who made heaven and earth. ¹⁶ The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth has he given to the children of men. ¹⁷ The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. ¹⁸ But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD. ¹¹⁶ ¹ I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my supplications. ² Because he has inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. ³ The sorrows of death surrounded me, and the pangs of sheol got hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. ⁴ Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech you, deliver my soul. ⁵ Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. ⁶ The LORD preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. ⁷ Return unto your rest, O my soul; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. ⁸ For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. ⁹ I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. ¹⁰ I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: ¹¹ I said in my haste, All men are liars. ¹² What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me? ¹³ I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. ¹⁴ I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. ¹⁵ Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. ¹⁶ O LORD, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, and the son of your handmaid: you have loosed my bonds. ¹⁷ I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. ¹⁸ I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people, ¹⁹ In the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise you the LORD. ¹¹⁷ ¹ O Praise the LORD, all you nations: praise him, all you people. ² For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endures forever. Praise you the LORD. ¹¹⁸ ¹ O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endures forever. ² Let Israel now say, that his mercy endures forever. ³ Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endures forever. ⁴ Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endures forever. ⁵ I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a broad place. ⁶ The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? ⁷ The LORD takes my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. ⁸ It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. ⁹ It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. ¹⁰ All nations encompassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. ¹¹ They encompassed me about; yea, they encompassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. ¹² They encompassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. ¹³ You have thrust hard at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me. ¹⁴ The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation. ¹⁵ The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD does valiantly. ¹⁶ The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD does valiantly. ¹⁷ I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. ¹⁸ The LORD has chastened me severely: but he has not given me over unto death. ¹⁹ Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD: ²⁰ This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. ²¹ I will praise you: for you have heard me, and have become my salvation. ²² The stone which the builders rejected has become the head stone of the corner. ²³ This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. ²⁴ This is the day which the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. ²⁵ Save now, I beseech you, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech you, send now prosperity. ²⁶ Blessed be he that comes in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. ²⁷ God is the LORD, who has showed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. ²⁸ You are my God, and I will praise you: you are my God, I will exalt you. ²⁹ O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endures forever. ¹¹⁹ ¹ [Aleph] 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 You have commanded us to keep your precepts diligently. ⁵ O that my ways were directed to keep your statutes! ⁶ Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all your commandments. ⁷ I will praise you with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned your righteous judgments. ⁸ I will keep your statutes: O forsake me not utterly. ⁹ [Beth] How shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to your word. ¹⁰ With my whole heart have I sought you: O let me not wander from your commandments. ¹¹ Your word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against you. ¹² Blessed are you, O LORD: teach me your statutes. ¹³ With my lips have I declared all the judgments of your mouth. ¹⁴ I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies, as much as in all riches. ¹⁵ I will meditate in your precepts, and have respect unto your ways. ¹⁶ I will delight myself in your statutes: I will not forget your word. ¹⁷ [Gimel] Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live, and keep your word. ¹⁸ Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law. ¹⁹ I am a stranger in the earth: hide not your commandments from me. ²⁰ My soul breaks for the longing that it has unto your judgments at all times. ²¹ You have rebuked the proud that are cursed, who do err from your commandments. ²² Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept your testimonies. ²³ Princes also did sit and speak against me: but your servant did meditate in your statutes. ²⁴ Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors. ²⁵ [Daleth] My soul clings unto the dust: revive me according to your word. ²⁶ I have declared my ways, and you heard me: teach me your statutes. ²⁷ Make me to understand the way of your precepts: so shall I talk of your wondrous works. ²⁸ My soul melts for heaviness: strengthen me according unto your word. ²⁹ Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me your law graciously. ³⁰ I have chosen the way of truth: your judgments have I laid before me. ³¹ I have clung unto your testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame. ³² I will run the way of your commandments, when you shall enlarge my heart. ³³ [He] Teach me, O LORD, the way of your statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end. ³⁴ Give me understanding, and I shall keep your law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. ³⁵ Make me to go in the path of your commandments; for therein do I delight. ³⁶ Incline my heart unto your testimonies, and not to covetousness. ³⁷ Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity; and revive me in your way. ³⁸ Establish your word unto your servant, who is devoted to your fear. ³⁹ Turn away my reproach which I fear: for your judgments are good. ⁴⁰ Behold, I have longed after your precepts: revive me in your righteousness. ⁴¹ [Waw] Let your mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even your salvation, according to your word. ⁴² So shall I have an answer for him that reproaches me: for I trust in your word. ⁴³ And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in your judgments. ⁴⁴ So shall I keep your law continually forever and ever. ⁴⁵ And I will walk at liberty: for I seek your precepts. ⁴⁶ I will speak of your testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. ⁴⁷ And I will delight myself in your commandments, which I have loved. ⁴⁸ My hands also will I lift up unto your commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in your statutes. ⁴⁹ [Zayin] Remember the word unto your servant, upon which you have caused me to hope. ⁵⁰ This is my comfort in my affliction: for your word has revived me. ⁵¹ The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not turned from your law. ⁵² I remembered your judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself. ⁵³ Horror has taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake your law. ⁵⁴ Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. ⁵⁵ I have remembered your name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept your law. ⁵⁶ This I had, because I kept your precepts. ⁵⁷ [Heth] You are my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep your words. ⁵⁸ I entreated your favor with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to your word. ⁵⁹ I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto your testimonies. ⁶⁰ I made haste, and delayed not to keep your commandments. ⁶¹ The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten your law. ⁶² At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto you because of your righteous judgments. ⁶³ I am a companion of all them that fear you, and of them that keep your precepts. ⁶⁴ The earth, O LORD, is full of your mercy: teach me your statutes. ⁶⁵ [Teth] You have dealt well with your servant, O LORD, according unto your word. ⁶⁶ Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed your commandments. ⁶⁷ Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept your word. ⁶⁸ You are good, and do good; teach me your statutes. ⁶⁹ The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep your precepts with my whole heart. ⁷⁰ Their heart is as gross as grease; but I delight in your law. ⁷¹ It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn your statutes. ⁷² The law of your mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver pieces. ⁷³ [Yod] Your hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments. ⁷⁴ They that fear you will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in your word. ⁷⁵ I know, O LORD, that your judgments are right, and that you in faithfulness have afflicted me. ⁷⁶ Let, I pray you, your merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to your word unto your servant. ⁷⁷ Let your tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for your law is my delight. ⁷⁸ Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in your precepts. ⁷⁹ Let those that fear you turn unto me, and those that have known your testimonies. ⁸⁰ Let my heart be sound in your statutes; that I be not ashamed. ⁸¹ [Kaph] My soul faints for your salvation: but I hope in your word. ⁸² My eyes fail for your word, saying, When will you comfort me? ⁸³ For I am become like a wineskin in the smoke; yet do I not forget your statutes. ⁸⁴ How many are the days of your servant? when will you execute judgment on them that persecute me? ⁸⁵ The proud have dug pits for me, which is not after your law. ⁸⁶ All your commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help me. ⁸⁷ They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not your precepts. ⁸⁸ Revive me according to your lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of your mouth. ⁸⁹ [Lamed] Forever, O LORD, your word is settled in heaven. ⁹⁰ Your faithfulness is unto all generations: you have established the earth, and it abides. ⁹¹ They continue this day according to your ordinances: for all are your servants. ⁹² Unless your law had been my delights, I should then have perished in my affliction. ⁹³ I will never forget your precepts: for with them you have revived me. ⁹⁴ I am yours, save me; for I have sought your precepts. ⁹⁵ The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider your testimonies. ⁹⁶ I have seen a limit to all perfection: but your commandment is exceedingly broad. ⁹⁷ [Mem] O how love I your law! it is my meditation all the day. ⁹⁸ You through your commandments have made me wiser than my enemies: for they are ever with me. ⁹⁹ I have more understanding than all my teachers: for your testimonies are my meditation. ¹⁰⁰ I understand more than the ancients, because I keep your precepts. ¹⁰¹ I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep your word. ¹⁰² I have not departed from your judgments: for you have taught me. ¹⁰³ How sweet are your words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! ¹⁰⁴ Through your precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. ¹⁰⁵ [Nun] Your 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 your righteous judgments. ¹⁰⁷ I am afflicted very much: revive me, O LORD, according unto your word. ¹⁰⁸ Accept, I beseech you, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me your judgments. ¹⁰⁹ My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget your law. ¹¹⁰ The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I strayed not from your precepts. ¹¹¹ Your testimonies have I taken as a heritage forever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. ¹¹² I have inclined my heart to perform your statutes always, even unto the end. ¹¹³ [Samek] I hate vain thoughts: but your law do I love. ¹¹⁴ You are my hiding place and my shield: I hope in your word. ¹¹⁵ Depart from me, you evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. ¹¹⁶ Uphold me according unto your word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. ¹¹⁷ Hold me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto your statutes continually. ¹¹⁸ You have trodden down all them that stray from your statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. ¹¹⁹ You put away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love your testimonies. ¹²⁰ My flesh trembles for fear of you; and I am afraid of your judgments. ¹²¹ [Ayin] I have done what is right and just: leave me not to my oppressors. ¹²² Be surety for your servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. ¹²³ My eyes fail for your salvation, and for the word of your righteousness. ¹²⁴ Deal with your servant according unto your mercy, and teach me your statutes. ¹²⁵ I am your servant; give me understanding, that I may know your testimonies. ¹²⁶ It is time for you, LORD, to work: for they have made void your law. ¹²⁷ Therefore I love your commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. ¹²⁸ Therefore I esteem all your precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. ¹²⁹ [Pe] Your testimonies are wonderful: therefore does my soul keep them. ¹³⁰ The entrance of your words gives light; it gives understanding unto the simple. ¹³¹ I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for your commandments. ¹³² Look upon me, and be merciful unto me, as you do unto those that love your name. ¹³³ Order my steps in your word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. ¹³⁴ Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep your precepts. ¹³⁵ Make your face to shine upon your servant; and teach me your statutes. ¹³⁶ Rivers of waters run down my eyes, because they keep not your law. ¹³⁷ [Tsadde] Righteous are you, O LORD, and upright are your judgments. ¹³⁸ Your testimonies that you have commanded are righteous and very faithful. ¹³⁹ My zeal has consumed me, because my enemies have forgotten your words. ¹⁴⁰ Your word is very pure: therefore your servant loves it. ¹⁴¹ I am small and despised: yet do I not forget your precepts. ¹⁴² Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and your law is the truth. ¹⁴³ Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet your commandments are my delights. ¹⁴⁴ The righteousness of your testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. ¹⁴⁵ I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep your statutes. ¹⁴⁶ I cried unto you; save me, and I shall keep your testimonies. ¹⁴⁷ I rose before the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in your word. ¹⁴⁸ My eyes awake before the night watches, that I might meditate in your word. ¹⁴⁹ Hear my voice according unto your lovingkindness: O LORD, revive me according to your judgment. ¹⁵⁰ They draw near that follow after evil: they are far from your law. ¹⁵¹ You are near, O LORD; and all your commandments are truth. ¹⁵² Concerning your testimonies, I have known of old that you have founded them forever. ¹⁵³ [Resh] Consider my affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget your law. ¹⁵⁴ Plead my cause, and deliver me: revive me according to your word. ¹⁵⁵ Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not your statutes. ¹⁵⁶ Great are your tender mercies, O LORD: revive me according to your judgments. ¹⁵⁷ Many are my persecutors and my enemies; yet do I not turn from your testimonies. ¹⁵⁸ I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not your word. ¹⁵⁹ Consider how I love your precepts: revive me, O LORD, according to your lovingkindness. ¹⁶⁰ Your word is true from the beginning: and every one of your righteous judgments endures forever. ¹⁶¹ [Shin] Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart stands in awe of your word. ¹⁶² I rejoice at your word, as one that finds great spoil. ¹⁶³ I hate and abhor lying: but your law do I love. ¹⁶⁴ Seven times a day do I praise you because of your righteous judgments. ¹⁶⁵ Great peace have they who love your law: and nothing shall offend them. ¹⁶⁶ LORD, I have hoped for your salvation, and done your commandments. ¹⁶⁷ My soul has kept your testimonies; and I love them exceedingly. ¹⁶⁸ I have kept your precepts and your testimonies: for all my ways are before you. ¹⁶⁹ [Tau] Let my cry come near before you, O LORD: give me understanding according to your word. ¹⁷⁰ Let my supplication come before you: deliver me according to your word. ¹⁷¹ My lips shall utter praise, when you have taught me your statutes. ¹⁷² My tongue shall speak of your word: for all your commandments are righteousness. ¹⁷³ Let your hand help me; for I have chosen your precepts. ¹⁷⁴ I have longed for your salvation, O LORD; and your law is my delight. ¹⁷⁵ Let my soul live, and it shall praise you; and let your judgments help me. ¹⁷⁶ I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant; for I do not forget your commandments.
