King James Version

Psalms • Chapter 119

1 Blessed are the blameless in their way, who walk in the law of the Lord. 2 Blessed are those who keep my testimonies; with their whole heart they seek me. 3 Even they did not commit any wrongdoing in my ways. 4 You have commanded Your ordinances to be kept very much. 5 Oh, that my ways were directed to keep your statutes! 6 Then I will not be ashamed when I look at all your commandments. 7 I will thank you with an upright heart as I learn your righteous judgments. 8 I will keep your statutes; do not forsake me very much. 9 In what will a young man cleanse his way to keep it according to your word? 10 With all my heart I have sought You; do not let me wander from Your commandments. 11 In my heart, I have hidden your word so that I might not sin against you. 12 Blessed are You, Lord, teach me Your statutes. 13 In my lips, I have told all the judgments of your mouth. 14 I rejoice in the way of your testimonies as in all riches. 15 In your commandments, I will meditate and I will regard your paths. 16 In your statutes I will meditate; I will not forget your word. 17 I will be faithful to your servant and I will keep your word. 18 Open my eyes, and I will behold wonderful things from your law. 19 I am a stranger in the land; do not hide your commandments from me. 20 My soul longs for your ordinances at all times. 21 You have reproached the arrogant, cursed ones, who stray from your commandments. 22 You have made me a reproach and contempt because I have kept Your testimonies. 23 Also, princes will sit and speak of your servant; they will talk of your statutes. 24 Your testimonies are also my delight, the men of my counsel. 25 "My soul clings to the dust; revive me according to your word." 26 I have told of my ways, and you answered me; teach me your statutes. 27 Make me understand the path of your commandments, and I will meditate on your wonders. 28 My soul is weary from grief; sustain me according to your word. 29 The way of falsehood remove from me, and your law graciously teach me. 30 I have chosen the way of faith; I have set your judgments before me. 31 I have clung to your testimonies, O Lord; do not put me to shame. 32 The way of Your commandments I will run, for You will enlarge my heart. 33 Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes, and I will keep it to the end. 34 Understand me, and I will keep your law and I will observe it with all my heart. 35 Direct me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in it. 36 Turn my heart to your testimonies and not to unjust gain. 37 Turn my eyes away from seeing vanity; in Your ways give me life. 38 You have raised up for Your servant Your word, which is for Your fear. 39 Remove my reproach that I dread, for your judgments are good. 40 Behold, I long for your commandments; in your righteousness, revive me. 41 And your kindness, O Lord, will come to me; your salvation, according to your word. 42 And I will answer my reproacher, for I have trusted in your word. 43 And do not withdraw your word of truth at all, for I hope in your judgments. 44 And I will guard your law always, forever and ever. 45 And I will walk in a wide place, for I have sought your commandments. 46 And I will speak of Your testimonies before kings, and I will not be ashamed. 47 And I will delight in your commandments which I have loved. 48 And I will lift my hands to your commandments which I have loved, and I will meditate on your statutes. 49 Remember the word to your servant, for I have hoped in it. 50 This is my comfort in my affliction, for your word has given me life. 51 The arrogant have mocked me greatly, but I have not turned away from your law. 52 I remember your judgments, O Lord, from of old; therefore I comfort myself. 53 "Zeal has seized me because of the wicked who forsake your law." 54 Your statutes were songs for me in the house of my pilgrimage. 55 I remembered your name, O LORD, in the night, and I kept your law. 56 This was to me because I kept your commandments. 57 The portion of the Lord I have said is to keep Your words. 58 I have sought Your face with all my heart; be gracious to me according to Your word. 59 I considered my ways, and I turned my feet to your testimonies. 60 I was swift and did not delay to keep your commandments. 61 The cords of the wicked have surrounded me; I have not forgotten your law. 62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks to you for your righteous judgments. 63 I am a companion to all who fear you and to those who keep your precepts. 64 Your kindness, O Lord, fills the earth; teach me your statutes. 65 You have done good with your servant, O Lord, according to your word. 66 Good taste and knowledge I have learned, for I have trusted in your commandments. 67 Before I answer, I will err, and now I have kept your word. 68 You are good and you do good; teach me your statutes. 69 They have laid a false charge against me; I will treasure your commandments with all my heart. 70 I have delighted in your law like a child delights in sweet food. 71 It is good for me that I was afflicted, so that I may learn your statutes. 72 Your teaching is better to me than thousands of gold and silver. 73 Your hands have made and established me; give me understanding, and I will learn your commandments. 74 Let those who fear You see me and rejoice, for I hope in Your word. 75 I have known, O LORD, that your judgments are righteousness, and in faithfulness you have afflicted me. 76 Let your kindness, I pray, comfort me, according to your word to your servant. 77 Let Your mercies come to me, and I shall live, for Your law is my delight. 78 Let the arrogant be ashamed, for they have denied me; I will speak of your commandments. 79 They will return to me, your fearers, and they will know and those who know your testimonies. 80 May my heart be perfect in your statutes, that I may not be ashamed. 81 My soul waits for your salvation; I hope for your word. 82 All my eyes are toward your word, saying, "When will you comfort me?" 83 For I have been as a wanderer; your statutes I have not forgotten. 84 What are the days of Your servant? When will You act in my pursuit of justice? 85 I have become like the arrogant, who speak against your law. 86 All your commands are faithfulness; falsehood has pursued me; help me. 87 I have almost perished in the earth, yet I have not forsaken your commandments. 88 With your kindness, give me life, and I will keep the testimonies of your mouth. 89 Your word, O Lord, stands firm in the heavens forever. 90 "From generation to generation, your faithfulness you established; you founded the earth, and it stands firm." 91 Your judgments stand today, for all your servants. 92 If it had not been for your Torah, I would have perished in my affliction. 93 Forever I will not forget Your commandments, for by them You have given me life. 94 I have sought your decrees; save me. 95 I hope for Your judgments; I will ponder Your testimonies. 96 For every end, I have seen a vast limit; your command is very broad. 97 How I love your law! All day long it is my meditation. 98 From my enemies, your commandments will make me wise; for they are forever mine. 99 From all my teachers, I have gained understanding, for your testimonies are my meditation. 100 With the elders, I will consider; for your commandments I have kept. 101 I have kept my feet from every evil path in order to observe your word. 102 I have not turned away from your judgments, for you have instructed me. 103 What was sweeter to my mouth than honey from your words? 104 I will ponder your commandments; therefore, I hate all false ways. 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. 106 I have sworn that I will keep your righteous judgments. 107 I have been very troubled; Yahweh lives, according to your word. 108 Accept, O Lord, the freewill offerings of my mouth, and teach me your judgments. 109 My soul is always in my hands, and your law I have not forgotten. 110 The wicked have laid a trap for me, but I have not gone astray from Your commandments. 111 I have inherited your testimonies forever, for they are the joy of my heart. 112 I have inclined my heart to do your statutes forever, in exchange. 113 I hated the branches, but I loved your law. 114 You are my shelter and my shield; I hope in your word. 115 Turn away from me, evildoers, and I will keep the commandments of my God. 116 Support me according to your word, and I will live; and do not let me be ashamed of my hope. 117 Support me and I will be saved, and I will meditate on your statutes always. 118 You have removed all wrongdoers from Your statutes, for they have deceived them with falsehood. 119 You have put an end to all the wicked of the earth; therefore I have loved your testimonies. 120 I am in dread of your fear, and I fear your judgments. 121 I have made justice and righteousness; do not let me be oppressed. 122 "Your servant for good, let not the arrogant oppress me." 123 My eyes are yearning for your salvation and for the word of your righteousness. 124 Do with your servant according to your kindness and teach me your statutes. 125 I am your servant; make me understand, and I will know your testimonies. 126 It is time to act for the Lord; they have broken your law. 127 Therefore, I love your commandments more than gold and fine gold. 128 Therefore, I have directed all Your commandments; I have hated every false way. 129 Your wonderful testimonies, therefore I guard my soul. 130 The opening of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple. 131 I have opened my mouth and panted, for I long for your commandments. 132 Turn to me and be gracious to me, as is your custom toward those who love your name. 133 "At your word, let it be, and do not let any sin rule over me." 134 Save me from the oppression of man, and I will keep your commandments. 135 Make your face shine upon your servant, and teach me your statutes. 136 Streams of water flowed down my eyes because they did not keep your law. 137 You are righteous, O Yahweh, and your judgments are upright. 138 You have commanded righteousness, your testimonies, and very much faithfulness. 139 You have made me thirst with my jealousy because they have forgotten your words of sorrow. 140 Your saying is very precious, and your servant loves it. 141 I am young and despised, yet I have not forgotten your precepts. 142 Your righteousness is righteousness forever, and your law is truth. 143 I have found trouble and distress; your commandments are my delights. 144 Your testimonies are righteousness; understand me, and I will live. 145 I called with all my heart; answer me, O Lord; I will keep your statutes. 146 I have called to you, save me, and I will keep your testimonies. 147 I have anticipated the evening and I will speak of your words; I have hoped for your promise. 148 Advance my eyes to the watches for the saying of yours. 149 O Lord, let me hear your lovingkindness, for I have put my trust in your judgment. 150 Those who pursue wickedness have drawn near; they have distanced themselves from your law. 151 You are near, O Lord, and all your commandments are true. 152 I knew beforehand from your testimonies that you have established them forever. 153 Look at my affliction and rescue me, for I have not forgotten your law. 154 "Contend with me and redeem me according to your word; give me life." 155 Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do not seek your statutes. 156 Your abundant mercies, O Lord, sustain me according to your judgments. 157 Many have chased me and pressed me; from Your testimonies I have not turned away. 158 I have seen the treacherous, and I was distressed because they did not keep your word. 159 See, I have loved your commandments, O Lord; according to your Grace, give me life. 160 The beginning of your word is truth, and all your righteous judgments are forever. 161 Princes pursued me without cause, and your words made my heart afraid. 162 I rejoice in your word like one who finds great spoil. 163 I have hated falsehood, but I have loved your law. 164 Seven times a day I praised you for your righteous judgments. 165 Great peace have those who love your law, and nothing causes them to stumble. 166 I have delighted in your salvation, O Lord, and I have done your commandments. 167 I have kept your testimonies; I love them very much. 168 I have kept your statutes and your testimonies, for all my ways are before you. 169 Let my song draw near before You, O Lord; according to Your word, give me understanding. 170 Let my plea come before you, according to your word, deliver me. 171 Let my lips bring forth praise, for they will teach me your statutes. 172 Answer my tongue your sayings, for all your commandments are righteousness. 173 Let your hand be for my help, for I have chosen your commandments. 174 I have longed for your salvation, O Lord, and your law is my delight. 175 May my soul live, and I will praise you, and your judgment will help me. 176 I have wandered like a lost sheep; seek your servant, for I have not forgotten your commandments.
