ZAIN. RememberH2142 the wordH1697 unto thy servantH5650, upon which thou hast caused me to hopeH3176.
This is my comfortH5165 in my afflictionH6040: for thy wordH565 hath quickenedH2421 me.
The proudH2086 have had me greatlyH3966 in derisionH3887: yet have I not declinedH5186 from thy lawH8451.
I rememberedH2142 thy judgmentsH4941 of oldH5769, O LORDH3068; and have comfortedH5162 myself.
HorrorH2152 hath taken holdH270 upon me because of the wickedH7563 that forsakeH5800 thy lawH8451.
Thy statutesH2706 have been my songsH2158 in the houseH1004 of my pilgrimageH4033.
I have rememberedH2142 thy nameH8034, O LORDH3068, in the nightH3915, and have keptH8104 thy lawH8451.
This I had, because I keptH5341 thy preceptsH6490.
CHETH. Thou art my portionH2506, O LORDH3068: I have saidH559 that I would keepH8104 thy wordsH1697.
I intreatedH2470 thy favourH6440 with my whole heartH3820: be mercifulH2603 unto me according to thy wordH565. {favour: Heb. face}
I thoughtH2803 on my waysH1870, and turnedH7725 my feetH7272 unto thy testimoniesH5713.
I made hasteH2363, and delayedH4102 not to keepH8104 thy commandmentsH4687.
The bandsH2256 of the wickedH7563 have robbedH5749 me: but I have not forgottenH7911 thy lawH8451. {bands: or, companies}
At midnightH2676+H3915 I will riseH6965 to give thanksH3034 unto thee because of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
I am a companionH2270 of all them that fearH3372 thee, and of them that keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490.
The earthH776, O LORDH3068, is fullH4390 of thy mercyH2617: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
TETH. Thou hast dealtH6213 wellH2896 with thy servantH5650, O LORDH3068, according unto thy wordH1697.
TeachH3925 me goodH2898 judgmentH2940 and knowledgeH1847: for I have believedH539 thy commandmentsH4687.
Before I was afflictedH6031 I went astrayH7683: but now have I keptH8104 thy wordH565.
Thou art goodH2896, and doest goodH2895; teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
The proudH2086 have forgedH2950 a lieH8267 against me: but I will keepH5341 thy preceptsH6490 with my whole heartH3820.
Their heartH3820 is as fatH2954 as greaseH2459; but I delightH8173 in thy lawH8451.
It is goodH2896 for me that I have been afflictedH6031; that I might learnH3925 thy statutesH2706.
The lawH8451 of thy mouthH6310 is betterH2896 unto me than thousandsH505 of goldH2091 and silverH3701.
JOD. Thy handsH3027 have madeH6213 me and fashionedH3559 me: give me understandingH995, that I may learnH3925 thy commandmentsH4687.
They that fearH3373 thee will be gladH8055 when they seeH7200 me; because I have hopedH3176 in thy wordH1697.
I knowH3045, O LORDH3068, that thy judgmentsH4941 are rightH6664, and that thou in faithfulnessH530 hast afflictedH6031 me. {right: Heb. righteousness}
Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindnessH2617 be for my comfortH5162, according to thy wordH565 unto thy servantH5650. {for…: Heb. to comfort me}
Let thy tender merciesH7356 comeH935 unto me, that I may liveH2421: for thy lawH8451 is my delightH8191.
Let the proudH2086 be ashamedH954; for they dealt perverselyH5791 with me without a causeH8267: but I will meditateH7878 in thy preceptsH6490.
Let those that fearH3373 thee turnH7725 unto me, and those that have knownH3045+H3045 thy testimoniesH5713.
Let my heartH3820 be soundH8549 in thy statutesH2706; that I be not ashamedH954.
CAPH. My soulH5315 faintethH3615 for thy salvationH8668: but I hopeH3176 in thy wordH1697.
Mine eyesH5869 failH3615 for thy wordH565, sayingH559, When wilt thou comfortH5162 me?
For I am become like a bottleH4997 in the smokeH7008; yet do I not forgetH7911 thy statutesH2706.
How many are the daysH3117 of thy servantH5650? when wilt thou executeH6213 judgmentH4941 on them that persecuteH7291 me?
The proudH2086 have diggedH3738 pitsH7882 for me, which are not after thy lawH8451.
All thy commandmentsH4687 are faithfulH530: they persecuteH7291 me wrongfullyH8267; helpH5826 thou me. {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}
They had almostH4592 consumedH3615 me upon earthH776; but I forsookH5800 not thy preceptsH6490.
QuickenH2421 me after thy lovingkindnessH2617; so shall I keepH8104 the testimonyH5715 of thy mouthH6310.
LAMED. For everH5769, O LORDH3068, thy wordH1697 is settledH5324 in heavenH8064.
Thy faithfulnessH530 is unto allH1755 generationsH1755: thou hast establishedH3559 the earthH776, and it abidethH5975. {unto…: Heb. to generation and generation} {abideth: Heb. standeth}
They continueH5975 this dayH3117 according to thine ordinancesH4941: for all are thy servantsH5650.
UnlessH3884 thy lawH8451 had been my delightsH8191, I should then have perishedH6 in mine afflictionH6040.
I will neverH5769 forgetH7911 thy preceptsH6490: for with them thou hast quickenedH2421 me.
I am thine, saveH3467 me; for I have soughtH1875 thy preceptsH6490.
The wickedH7563 have waitedH6960 for me to destroyH6 me: but I will considerH995 thy testimoniesH5713.
I have seenH7200 an endH7093 of all perfectionH8502: but thy commandmentH4687 is exceedingH3966 broadH7342.
MEM. O how love IH157 thy lawH8451! it is my meditationH7881 all the dayH3117.
Thou through thy commandmentsH4687 hast made me wiserH2449 than mine enemiesH341: for they are everH5769 with me. {they…: Heb. it is ever with me}
I have more understandingH7919 than all my teachersH3925: for thy testimoniesH5715 are my meditationH7881.
I understandH995 more than the ancientsH2205, because I keepH5341 thy preceptsH6490.
I have refrainedH3607 my feetH7272 from every evilH7451 wayH734, that I might keepH8104 thy wordH1697.
I have not departedH5493 from thy judgmentsH4941: for thou hast taughtH3384 me.
How sweetH4452 are thy wordsH565 unto my tasteH2441! yea, sweeter than honeyH1706 to my mouthH6310! {taste: Heb. palate}
Through thy preceptsH6490 I get understandingH995: therefore I hateH8130 every falseH8267 wayH734.
NUN. Thy wordH1697 is a lampH5216 unto my feetH7272, and a lightH216 unto my pathH5410. {lamp: or, candle}
I have swornH7650, and I will performH6965 it, that I will keepH8104 thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
I am afflictedH6031 very muchH3966: quickenH2421 me, O LORDH3068, according unto thy wordH1697.
AcceptH7521, I beseech thee, the freewill offeringsH5071 of my mouthH6310, O LORDH3068, and teachH3925 me thy judgmentsH4941.
My soulH5315 is continuallyH8548 in my handH3709: yet do I not forgetH7911 thy lawH8451.
The wickedH7563 have laidH5414 a snareH6341 for me: yet I erredH8582 not from thy preceptsH6490.
Thy testimoniesH5715 have I taken as an heritageH5157 for everH5769: for they are the rejoicingH8342 of my heartH3820.
I have inclinedH5186 mine heartH3820 to performH6213 thy statutesH2706 alwayH5769, even unto the endH6118. {to perform: Heb. to do}
SAMECH. I hateH8130 vain thoughtsH5588: but thy lawH8451 do I loveH157.
Thou art my hiding placeH5643 and my shieldH4043: I hopeH3176 in thy wordH1697.
DepartH5493 from me, ye evildoersH7489: for I will keepH5341 the commandmentsH4687 of my GodH430.
UpholdH5564 me according unto thy wordH565, that I may liveH2421: and let me not be ashamedH954 of my hopeH7664.
Hold thou me upH5582, and I shall be safeH3467: and I will have respectH8159 unto thy statutesH2706 continuallyH8548.
Thou hast trodden downH5541 all them that errH7686 from thy statutesH2706: for their deceitH8649 is falsehoodH8267.
Thou puttest awayH7673 all the wickedH7563 of the earthH776 like drossH5509: therefore I loveH157 thy testimoniesH5713. {puttest…: Heb. causest to cease}
My fleshH1320 tremblethH5568 for fearH6343 of thee; and I am afraidH3372 of thy judgmentsH4941.
AIN. I have doneH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6664: leaveH3240 me not to mine oppressorsH6231.
Be suretyH6148 for thy servantH5650 for goodH2896: let not the proudH2086 oppressH6231 me.
Mine eyesH5869 failH3615 for thy salvationH3444, and for the wordH565 of thy righteousnessH6664.
DealH6213 with thy servantH5650 according unto thy mercyH2617, and teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
I am thy servantH5650; give me understandingH995, that I may knowH3045 thy testimoniesH5713.
It is timeH6256 for thee, LORDH3068, to workH6213: for they have made voidH6565 thy lawH8451.
Therefore I loveH157 thy commandmentsH4687 above goldH2091; yea, above fine goldH6337.
Therefore I esteem all thy preceptsH6490 concerning all things to be rightH3474; and I hateH8130 every falseH8267 wayH734.
PE. Thy testimoniesH5715 are wonderfulH6382: therefore doth my soulH5315 keepH5341 them.
The entranceH6608 of thy wordsH1697 giveth lightH215; it giveth understandingH995 unto the simpleH6612.
I openedH6473 my mouthH6310, and pantedH7602: for I longedH2968 for thy commandmentsH4687.
LookH6437 thou upon me, and be mercifulH2603 unto me, as thou usestH4941 to do unto those that loveH157 thy nameH8034. {as thou…: Heb. according to the custom toward those, etc}
OrderH3559 my stepsH6471 in thy wordH565: and let not any iniquityH205 have dominionH7980 over me.
DeliverH6299 me from the oppressionH6233 of manH120: so will I keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490.
Make thy faceH6440 to shineH215 upon thy servantH5650; and teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
RiversH6388 of watersH4325 run downH3381 mine eyesH5869, because they keepH8104 not thy lawH8451.
TZADDI. RighteousH6662 art thou, O LORDH3068, and uprightH3477 are thy judgmentsH4941.
Thy testimoniesH5713 that thou hast commandedH6680 are righteousH6664 and veryH3966 faithfulH530. {righteous: Heb. righteousness} {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}
My zealH7068 hath consumedH6789 me, because mine enemiesH6862 have forgottenH7911 thy wordsH1697. {consumed…: Heb. cut me off}
Thy wordH565 is veryH3966 pureH6884: therefore thy servantH5650 lovethH157 it. {pure: Heb. tried, or, refined}
I am smallH6810 and despisedH959: yet do not I forgetH7911 thy preceptsH6490.
Thy righteousnessH6666 is an everlastingH5769 righteousnessH6664, and thy lawH8451 is the truthH571.
TroubleH6862 and anguishH4689 have taken holdH4672 on me: yet thy commandmentsH4687 are my delightsH8191. {taken…: Heb. found me}
The righteousnessH6664 of thy testimoniesH5715 is everlastingH5769: give me understandingH995, and I shall liveH2421.
KOPH. I criedH7121 with my whole heartH3820; hearH6030 me, O LORDH3068: I will keepH5341 thy statutesH2706.
I criedH7121 unto thee; saveH3467 me, and I shall keepH8104 thy testimoniesH5713. {and I…: or, that I may keep}
I preventedH6923 the dawning of the morningH5399, and criedH7768: I hopedH3176 in thy wordH1697.
Mine eyesH5869 preventH6923 the night watchesH821, that I might meditateH7878 in thy wordH565.
HearH8085 my voiceH6963 according unto thy lovingkindnessH2617: O LORDH3068, quickenH2421 me according to thy judgmentH4941.
They draw nighH7126 that followH7291 after mischiefH2154: they are farH7368 from thy lawH8451.
Thou art nearH7138, O LORDH3068; and all thy commandmentsH4687 are truthH571.
Concerning thy testimoniesH5713, I have knownH3045 of oldH6924 that thou hast foundedH3245 them for everH5769.
RESH. ConsiderH7200 mine afflictionH6040, and deliverH2502 me: for I do not forgetH7911 thy lawH8451.
PleadH7378 my causeH7379, and deliverH1350 me: quickenH2421 me according to thy wordH565.
SalvationH3444 is farH7350 from the wickedH7563: for they seekH1875 not thy statutesH2706.
GreatH7227 are thy tender merciesH7356, O LORDH3068: quickenH2421 me according to thy judgmentsH4941. {Great: or, Many}
ManyH7227 are my persecutorsH7291 and mine enemiesH6862; yet do I not declineH5186 from thy testimoniesH5715.
I beheldH7200 the transgressorsH898, and was grievedH6962; because they keptH8104 not thy wordH565.
ConsiderH7200 how I loveH157 thy preceptsH6490: quickenH2421 me, O LORDH3068, according to thy lovingkindnessH2617.
Thy wordH1697 is trueH571 from the beginningH7218: and every one of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941 endureth for everH5769. {Thy word…: Heb. The beginning of thy word is true}
SCHIN. PrincesH8269 have persecutedH7291 me without a causeH2600: but my heartH3820 standeth in aweH6342 of thy wordH1697.
I rejoiceH7797 at thy wordH565, as one that findethH4672 greatH7227 spoilH7998.
I hateH8130 and abhorH8581 lyingH8267: but thy lawH8451 do I loveH157.
Seven timesH7651 a dayH3117 do I praiseH1984 thee because of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
GreatH7227 peaceH7965 have they which loveH157 thy lawH8451: and nothing shall offendH4383 them. {nothing…: Heb. they shall have no stumblingblock}
LORDH3068, I have hopedH7663 for thy salvationH3444, and doneH6213 thy commandmentsH4687.
My soulH5315 hath keptH8104 thy testimoniesH5713; and I loveH157 them exceedinglyH3966.
I have keptH8104 thy preceptsH6490 and thy testimoniesH5713: for all my waysH1870 are before thee.
TAU. Let my cryH7440 come nearH7126 beforeH6440 thee, O LORDH3068: give me understandingH995 according to thy wordH1697.
Let my supplicationH8467 comeH935 beforeH6440 thee: deliverH5337 me according to thy wordH565.
My lipsH8193 shall utterH5042 praiseH8416, when thou hast taughtH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
My tongueH3956 shall speakH6030 of thy wordH565: for all thy commandmentsH4687 are righteousnessH6664.
Let thine handH3027 helpH5826 me; for I have chosenH977 thy preceptsH6490.
I have longedH8373 for thy salvationH3444, O LORDH3068; and thy lawH8451 is my delightH8191.
Let my soulH5315 liveH2421, and it shall praiseH1984 thee; and let thy judgmentsH4941 helpH5826 me.
I have gone astrayH8582 like a lostH6 sheepH7716; seekH1245 thy servantH5650; for I do not forgetH7911 thy commandmentsH4687.
HowG4459 shallG1248 notG3780 the ministrationG1248 of the spiritG4151 beG2071 ratherG3123+G1722 gloriousG1391?
I delightH2654 to doH6213 thy willH7522, O my GodH430: yea, thy lawH8451 is withinH8432 my heartH4578. {within…: Heb. in the midst of my bowels}
And I will putH5414 my spiritH7307 withinH7130 you, and causeH6213 you to walkH3212 in my statutesH2706, and ye shall keepH8104 my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will makeH3772 a newH2319 covenantH1285 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and with the houseH1004 of JudahH3063:
Not according to the covenantH1285 that I madeH3772 with their fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I tookH2388 them by the handH3027 to bring them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714; which my covenantH1285 they brakeH6565, although I was an husbandH1166 unto them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: {although…: or, should I have continued an husband unto them?}
But this shall be the covenantH1285 that I will makeH3772 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; AfterH310 those daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, I will putH5414 my lawH8451 in their inward partsH7130, and writeH3789 it in their heartsH3820; and will be their GodH430, and they shall be my peopleH5971.
And they shall teachH3925 no more every manH376 his neighbourH7453, and every manH376 his brotherH251, sayingH559, KnowH3045 the LORDH3068: for they shall all knowH3045 me, from the leastH6996 of them unto the greatestH1419 of them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: for I will forgiveH5545 their iniquityH5771, and I will rememberH2142 their sinH2403 no more.
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. The heavensH8064 declareH5608 the gloryH3519 of GodH410; and the firmamentH7549 sheweth hisH5046 handyworkH4639+H3027.
DayH3117 unto dayH3117 utterethH5042 speechH562, and nightH3915 unto nightH3915 shewethH2331 knowledgeH1847.
There is no speechH562 nor languageH1697, where their voiceH6963 is not heardH8085. {where…: or, without these their voice is heard: Heb. without their voice heard}
Their lineH6957 is gone outH3318 through all the earthH776, and their wordsH4405 to the endH7097 of the worldH8398. In them hath he setH7760 a tabernacleH168 for the sunH8121, {line: or, rule, or, direction}
Which is as a bridegroomH2860 coming outH3318 of his chamberH2646, and rejoicethH7797 as a strong manH1368 to runH7323 a raceH734.
His going forthH4161 is from the endH7097 of the heavenH8064, and his circuitH8622 unto the endsH7098 of it: and there is nothing hidH5641 from the heatH2535 thereof.
The lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 is perfectH8549, convertingH7725 the soulH5315: the testimonyH5715 of the LORDH3068 is sureH539, making wiseH2449 the simpleH6612. {law: or, doctrine} {converting: or, restoring}
The statutesH6490 of the LORDH3068 are rightH3477, rejoicingH8055 the heartH3820: the commandmentH4687 of the LORDH3068 is pureH1249, enlighteningH215 the eyesH5869.
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is cleanH2889, enduringH5975 for everH5703: the judgmentsH4941 of the LORDH3068 are trueH571 and righteousH6663 altogetherH3162. {true: Heb. truth}
More to be desiredH2530 are they than goldH2091, yea, than muchH7227 fine goldH6337: sweeterH4966 also than honeyH1706 and the honeycombH5317+H6688. {the honeycomb: Heb. the dropping of honeycombs}
Moreover by them is thy servantH5650 warnedH2094: and in keepingH8104 of them there is greatH7227 rewardH6118.
Who can understandH995 his errorsH7691? cleanseH5352 thou me from secretH5641 faults.
Keep backH2820 thy servantH5650 also from presumptuousH2086 sins; let them not have dominionH4910 over me: then shall I be uprightH8552, and I shall be innocentH5352 from the greatH7227 transgressionH6588. {the great: or, much}
Let the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310, and the meditationH1902 of my heartH3820, be acceptableH7522 in thy sightH6440, O LORDH3068, my strengthH6697, and my redeemerH1350. {strength: Heb. rock}
The lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 is perfectH8549, convertingH7725 the soulH5315: the testimonyH5715 of the LORDH3068 is sureH539, making wiseH2449 the simpleH6612. {law: or, doctrine} {converting: or, restoring}
The statutesH6490 of the LORDH3068 are rightH3477, rejoicingH8055 the heartH3820: the commandmentH4687 of the LORDH3068 is pureH1249, enlighteningH215 the eyesH5869.
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is cleanH2889, enduringH5975 for everH5703: the judgmentsH4941 of the LORDH3068 are trueH571 and righteousH6663 altogetherH3162. {true: Heb. truth}
More to be desiredH2530 are they than goldH2091, yea, than muchH7227 fine goldH6337: sweeterH4966 also than honeyH1706 and the honeycombH5317+H6688. {the honeycomb: Heb. the dropping of honeycombs}
Moreover by them is thy servantH5650 warnedH2094: and in keepingH8104 of them there is greatH7227 rewardH6118.
Whoso keepethH5341 the lawH8451 is a wiseH995 sonH1121: but he that is a companionH7462 of riotousH2151 men shamethH3637 his fatherH1. {is a companion…: or, feedeth gluttons}
And thou shalt putH5414 into the arkH727 the testimonyH5715 which I shall giveH5414 thee.
And thou shalt putH5414 the mercy seatH3727 aboveH4605 upon the arkH727; and in the arkH727 thou shalt putH5414 the testimonyH5715 that I shall giveH5414 thee.
ALEPH. BlessedH835 are the undefiledH8549 in the wayH1870, who walkH1980 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068. {undefiled: or, perfect, or, sincere}
BlessedH835 are they that keepH5341 his testimoniesH5713, and that seekH1875 him with the whole heartH3820.
They also doH6466 no iniquityH5766: they walkH1980 in his waysH1870.
Thou hast commandedH6680 us to keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490 diligentlyH3966.
O thatH305 my waysH1870 were directedH3559 to keepH8104 thy statutesH2706!
Then shall I not be ashamedH954, when I have respectH5027 unto all thy commandmentsH4687.
I will praiseH3034 thee with uprightnessH3476 of heartH3824, when I shall have learnedH3925 thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941. {thy…: Heb. judgments of thy righteousness}
I will keepH8104 thy statutesH2706: O forsakeH5800 me not utterlyH3966.
BETH. Wherewithal shall a young manH5288 cleanseH2135 his wayH734? by taking heedH8104 thereto according to thy wordH1697.
With my whole heartH3820 have I soughtH1875 thee: O let me not wanderH7686 from thy commandmentsH4687.
Thy wordH565 have I hidH6845 in mine heartH3820, that I might not sinH2398 against thee.
BlessedH1288 art thou, O LORDH3068: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
With my lipsH8193 have I declaredH5608 all the judgmentsH4941 of thy mouthH6310.
I have rejoicedH7797 in the wayH1870 of thy testimoniesH5715, as much as inH5921 all richesH1952.
I will meditateH7878 in thy preceptsH6490, and have respectH5027 unto thy waysH734.
I will delightH8173 myself in thy statutesH2708: I will not forgetH7911 thy wordH1697.
GIMEL. Deal bountifullyH1580 with thy servantH5650, that I may liveH2421, and keepH8104 thy wordH1697.
OpenH1540 thou mine eyesH5869, that I may beholdH5027 wondrous thingsH6381 out of thy lawH8451. {Open: Heb. Reveal}
I am a strangerH1616 in the earthH776: hideH5641 not thy commandmentsH4687 from me.
My soulH5315 breakethH1638 for the longingH8375 that it hath unto thy judgmentsH4941 at all timesH6256.
Thou hast rebukedH1605 the proudH2086 that are cursedH779, which do errH7686 from thy commandmentsH4687.
RemoveH1556 from me reproachH2781 and contemptH937; for I have keptH5341 thy testimoniesH5713.
PrincesH8269 also did sitH3427 and speakH1696 against me: but thy servantH5650 did meditateH7878 in thy statutesH2706.
Thy testimoniesH5713 also are my delightH8191 and my counsellorsH582+H6098. {my counsellors: Heb. men of my counsel}
DALETH. My soulH5315 cleavethH1692 unto the dustH6083: quickenH2421 thou me according to thy wordH1697.
I have declaredH5608 my waysH1870, and thou heardestH6030 me: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
Make me to understandH995 the wayH1870 of thy preceptsH6490: so shall I talkH7878 of thy wondrous worksH6381.
My soulH5315 meltethH1811 for heavinessH8424: strengthenH6965 thou me according unto thy wordH1697. {melteth: Heb. droppeth}
RemoveH5493 from me the wayH1870 of lyingH8267: and grant me thy lawH8451 graciouslyH2603.
I have chosenH977 the wayH1870 of truthH530: thy judgmentsH4941 have I laidH7737 before me.
I have stuckH1692 unto thy testimoniesH5715: O LORDH3068, put me not to shameH954.
I will runH7323 the wayH1870 of thy commandmentsH4687, when thou shalt enlargeH7337 my heartH3820.
HE. TeachH3384 me, O LORDH3068, the wayH1870 of thy statutesH2706; and I shall keepH5341 it unto the endH6118.
Give me understandingH995, and I shall keepH5341 thy lawH8451; yea, I shall observeH8104 it with my whole heartH3820.
Make me to goH1869 in the pathH5410 of thy commandmentsH4687; for therein do I delightH2654.
InclineH5186 my heartH3820 unto thy testimoniesH5715, and not to covetousnessH1215.
Turn awayH5674 mine eyesH5869 from beholdingH7200 vanityH7723; and quickenH2421 thou me in thy wayH1870. {Turn…: Heb. Make to pass}
StablishH6965 thy wordH565 unto thy servantH5650, who is devoted to thy fearH3374.
Turn awayH5674 my reproachH2781 which I fearH3025: for thy judgmentsH4941 are goodH2896.
Behold, I have longedH8373 after thy preceptsH6490: quickenH2421 me in thy righteousnessH6666.
VAU. Let thy merciesH2617 comeH935 also unto me, O LORDH3068, even thy salvationH8668, according to thy wordH565.
So shall I have wherewithH1697 to answerH6030 him that reproachethH2778 me: for I trustH982 in thy wordH1697. {So…: or, So shall I answer him that reproveth me in a thing}
And takeH5337 not the wordH1697 of truthH571 utterlyH3966 out of my mouthH6310; for I have hopedH3176 in thy judgmentsH4941.
So shall I keepH8104 thy lawH8451 continuallyH8548 for everH5769 and everH5703.
And I will walkH1980 at libertyH7342: for I seekH1875 thy preceptsH6490. {at liberty: Heb. at large}
I will speakH1696 of thy testimoniesH5713 also before kingsH4428, and will not be ashamedH954.
And I will delightH8173 myself in thy commandmentsH4687, which I have lovedH157.
My handsH3709 also will I lift upH5375 unto thy commandmentsH4687, which I have lovedH157; and I will meditateH7878 in thy statutesH2706.
ZAIN. RememberH2142 the wordH1697 unto thy servantH5650, upon which thou hast caused me to hopeH3176.
This is my comfortH5165 in my afflictionH6040: for thy wordH565 hath quickenedH2421 me.
The proudH2086 have had me greatlyH3966 in derisionH3887: yet have I not declinedH5186 from thy lawH8451.
I rememberedH2142 thy judgmentsH4941 of oldH5769, O LORDH3068; and have comfortedH5162 myself.
HorrorH2152 hath taken holdH270 upon me because of the wickedH7563 that forsakeH5800 thy lawH8451.
Thy statutesH2706 have been my songsH2158 in the houseH1004 of my pilgrimageH4033.
I have rememberedH2142 thy nameH8034, O LORDH3068, in the nightH3915, and have keptH8104 thy lawH8451.
This I had, because I keptH5341 thy preceptsH6490.
CHETH. Thou art my portionH2506, O LORDH3068: I have saidH559 that I would keepH8104 thy wordsH1697.
I intreatedH2470 thy favourH6440 with my whole heartH3820: be mercifulH2603 unto me according to thy wordH565. {favour: Heb. face}
I thoughtH2803 on my waysH1870, and turnedH7725 my feetH7272 unto thy testimoniesH5713.
I made hasteH2363, and delayedH4102 not to keepH8104 thy commandmentsH4687.
The bandsH2256 of the wickedH7563 have robbedH5749 me: but I have not forgottenH7911 thy lawH8451. {bands: or, companies}
At midnightH2676+H3915 I will riseH6965 to give thanksH3034 unto thee because of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
I am a companionH2270 of all them that fearH3372 thee, and of them that keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490.
The earthH776, O LORDH3068, is fullH4390 of thy mercyH2617: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
TETH. Thou hast dealtH6213 wellH2896 with thy servantH5650, O LORDH3068, according unto thy wordH1697.
TeachH3925 me goodH2898 judgmentH2940 and knowledgeH1847: for I have believedH539 thy commandmentsH4687.
Before I was afflictedH6031 I went astrayH7683: but now have I keptH8104 thy wordH565.
Thou art goodH2896, and doest goodH2895; teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
The proudH2086 have forgedH2950 a lieH8267 against me: but I will keepH5341 thy preceptsH6490 with my whole heartH3820.
Their heartH3820 is as fatH2954 as greaseH2459; but I delightH8173 in thy lawH8451.
It is goodH2896 for me that I have been afflictedH6031; that I might learnH3925 thy statutesH2706.
The lawH8451 of thy mouthH6310 is betterH2896 unto me than thousandsH505 of goldH2091 and silverH3701.
JOD. Thy handsH3027 have madeH6213 me and fashionedH3559 me: give me understandingH995, that I may learnH3925 thy commandmentsH4687.
They that fearH3373 thee will be gladH8055 when they seeH7200 me; because I have hopedH3176 in thy wordH1697.
I knowH3045, O LORDH3068, that thy judgmentsH4941 are rightH6664, and that thou in faithfulnessH530 hast afflictedH6031 me. {right: Heb. righteousness}
Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindnessH2617 be for my comfortH5162, according to thy wordH565 unto thy servantH5650. {for…: Heb. to comfort me}
Let thy tender merciesH7356 comeH935 unto me, that I may liveH2421: for thy lawH8451 is my delightH8191.
Let the proudH2086 be ashamedH954; for they dealt perverselyH5791 with me without a causeH8267: but I will meditateH7878 in thy preceptsH6490.
Let those that fearH3373 thee turnH7725 unto me, and those that have knownH3045+H3045 thy testimoniesH5713.
Let my heartH3820 be soundH8549 in thy statutesH2706; that I be not ashamedH954.
CAPH. My soulH5315 faintethH3615 for thy salvationH8668: but I hopeH3176 in thy wordH1697.
Mine eyesH5869 failH3615 for thy wordH565, sayingH559, When wilt thou comfortH5162 me?
For I am become like a bottleH4997 in the smokeH7008; yet do I not forgetH7911 thy statutesH2706.
How many are the daysH3117 of thy servantH5650? when wilt thou executeH6213 judgmentH4941 on them that persecuteH7291 me?
The proudH2086 have diggedH3738 pitsH7882 for me, which are not after thy lawH8451.
All thy commandmentsH4687 are faithfulH530: they persecuteH7291 me wrongfullyH8267; helpH5826 thou me. {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}
They had almostH4592 consumedH3615 me upon earthH776; but I forsookH5800 not thy preceptsH6490.
QuickenH2421 me after thy lovingkindnessH2617; so shall I keepH8104 the testimonyH5715 of thy mouthH6310.
LAMED. For everH5769, O LORDH3068, thy wordH1697 is settledH5324 in heavenH8064.
Thy faithfulnessH530 is unto allH1755 generationsH1755: thou hast establishedH3559 the earthH776, and it abidethH5975. {unto…: Heb. to generation and generation} {abideth: Heb. standeth}
They continueH5975 this dayH3117 according to thine ordinancesH4941: for all are thy servantsH5650.
UnlessH3884 thy lawH8451 had been my delightsH8191, I should then have perishedH6 in mine afflictionH6040.
I will neverH5769 forgetH7911 thy preceptsH6490: for with them thou hast quickenedH2421 me.
I am thine, saveH3467 me; for I have soughtH1875 thy preceptsH6490.
The wickedH7563 have waitedH6960 for me to destroyH6 me: but I will considerH995 thy testimoniesH5713.
I have seenH7200 an endH7093 of all perfectionH8502: but thy commandmentH4687 is exceedingH3966 broadH7342.
MEM. O how love IH157 thy lawH8451! it is my meditationH7881 all the dayH3117.
Thou through thy commandmentsH4687 hast made me wiserH2449 than mine enemiesH341: for they are everH5769 with me. {they…: Heb. it is ever with me}
I have more understandingH7919 than all my teachersH3925: for thy testimoniesH5715 are my meditationH7881.
I understandH995 more than the ancientsH2205, because I keepH5341 thy preceptsH6490.
I have refrainedH3607 my feetH7272 from every evilH7451 wayH734, that I might keepH8104 thy wordH1697.
I have not departedH5493 from thy judgmentsH4941: for thou hast taughtH3384 me.
How sweetH4452 are thy wordsH565 unto my tasteH2441! yea, sweeter than honeyH1706 to my mouthH6310! {taste: Heb. palate}
Through thy preceptsH6490 I get understandingH995: therefore I hateH8130 every falseH8267 wayH734.
NUN. Thy wordH1697 is a lampH5216 unto my feetH7272, and a lightH216 unto my pathH5410. {lamp: or, candle}
I have swornH7650, and I will performH6965 it, that I will keepH8104 thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
I am afflictedH6031 very muchH3966: quickenH2421 me, O LORDH3068, according unto thy wordH1697.
AcceptH7521, I beseech thee, the freewill offeringsH5071 of my mouthH6310, O LORDH3068, and teachH3925 me thy judgmentsH4941.
My soulH5315 is continuallyH8548 in my handH3709: yet do I not forgetH7911 thy lawH8451.
The wickedH7563 have laidH5414 a snareH6341 for me: yet I erredH8582 not from thy preceptsH6490.
Thy testimoniesH5715 have I taken as an heritageH5157 for everH5769: for they are the rejoicingH8342 of my heartH3820.
I have inclinedH5186 mine heartH3820 to performH6213 thy statutesH2706 alwayH5769, even unto the endH6118. {to perform: Heb. to do}
SAMECH. I hateH8130 vain thoughtsH5588: but thy lawH8451 do I loveH157.
Thou art my hiding placeH5643 and my shieldH4043: I hopeH3176 in thy wordH1697.
DepartH5493 from me, ye evildoersH7489: for I will keepH5341 the commandmentsH4687 of my GodH430.
UpholdH5564 me according unto thy wordH565, that I may liveH2421: and let me not be ashamedH954 of my hopeH7664.
Hold thou me upH5582, and I shall be safeH3467: and I will have respectH8159 unto thy statutesH2706 continuallyH8548.
Thou hast trodden downH5541 all them that errH7686 from thy statutesH2706: for their deceitH8649 is falsehoodH8267.
Thou puttest awayH7673 all the wickedH7563 of the earthH776 like drossH5509: therefore I loveH157 thy testimoniesH5713. {puttest…: Heb. causest to cease}
My fleshH1320 tremblethH5568 for fearH6343 of thee; and I am afraidH3372 of thy judgmentsH4941.
AIN. I have doneH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6664: leaveH3240 me not to mine oppressorsH6231.
Be suretyH6148 for thy servantH5650 for goodH2896: let not the proudH2086 oppressH6231 me.
Mine eyesH5869 failH3615 for thy salvationH3444, and for the wordH565 of thy righteousnessH6664.
DealH6213 with thy servantH5650 according unto thy mercyH2617, and teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
I am thy servantH5650; give me understandingH995, that I may knowH3045 thy testimoniesH5713.
It is timeH6256 for thee, LORDH3068, to workH6213: for they have made voidH6565 thy lawH8451.
Therefore I loveH157 thy commandmentsH4687 above goldH2091; yea, above fine goldH6337.
Therefore I esteem all thy preceptsH6490 concerning all things to be rightH3474; and I hateH8130 every falseH8267 wayH734.
PE. Thy testimoniesH5715 are wonderfulH6382: therefore doth my soulH5315 keepH5341 them.
The entranceH6608 of thy wordsH1697 giveth lightH215; it giveth understandingH995 unto the simpleH6612.
I openedH6473 my mouthH6310, and pantedH7602: for I longedH2968 for thy commandmentsH4687.
LookH6437 thou upon me, and be mercifulH2603 unto me, as thou usestH4941 to do unto those that loveH157 thy nameH8034. {as thou…: Heb. according to the custom toward those, etc}
OrderH3559 my stepsH6471 in thy wordH565: and let not any iniquityH205 have dominionH7980 over me.
DeliverH6299 me from the oppressionH6233 of manH120: so will I keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490.
Make thy faceH6440 to shineH215 upon thy servantH5650; and teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
RiversH6388 of watersH4325 run downH3381 mine eyesH5869, because they keepH8104 not thy lawH8451.
TZADDI. RighteousH6662 art thou, O LORDH3068, and uprightH3477 are thy judgmentsH4941.
Thy testimoniesH5713 that thou hast commandedH6680 are righteousH6664 and veryH3966 faithfulH530. {righteous: Heb. righteousness} {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}
My zealH7068 hath consumedH6789 me, because mine enemiesH6862 have forgottenH7911 thy wordsH1697. {consumed…: Heb. cut me off}
Thy wordH565 is veryH3966 pureH6884: therefore thy servantH5650 lovethH157 it. {pure: Heb. tried, or, refined}
I am smallH6810 and despisedH959: yet do not I forgetH7911 thy preceptsH6490.
Thy righteousnessH6666 is an everlastingH5769 righteousnessH6664, and thy lawH8451 is the truthH571.
TroubleH6862 and anguishH4689 have taken holdH4672 on me: yet thy commandmentsH4687 are my delightsH8191. {taken…: Heb. found me}
The righteousnessH6664 of thy testimoniesH5715 is everlastingH5769: give me understandingH995, and I shall liveH2421.
KOPH. I criedH7121 with my whole heartH3820; hearH6030 me, O LORDH3068: I will keepH5341 thy statutesH2706.
I criedH7121 unto thee; saveH3467 me, and I shall keepH8104 thy testimoniesH5713. {and I…: or, that I may keep}
I preventedH6923 the dawning of the morningH5399, and criedH7768: I hopedH3176 in thy wordH1697.
Mine eyesH5869 preventH6923 the night watchesH821, that I might meditateH7878 in thy wordH565.
HearH8085 my voiceH6963 according unto thy lovingkindnessH2617: O LORDH3068, quickenH2421 me according to thy judgmentH4941.
They draw nighH7126 that followH7291 after mischiefH2154: they are farH7368 from thy lawH8451.
Thou art nearH7138, O LORDH3068; and all thy commandmentsH4687 are truthH571.
Concerning thy testimoniesH5713, I have knownH3045 of oldH6924 that thou hast foundedH3245 them for everH5769.
RESH. ConsiderH7200 mine afflictionH6040, and deliverH2502 me: for I do not forgetH7911 thy lawH8451.
PleadH7378 my causeH7379, and deliverH1350 me: quickenH2421 me according to thy wordH565.
SalvationH3444 is farH7350 from the wickedH7563: for they seekH1875 not thy statutesH2706.
GreatH7227 are thy tender merciesH7356, O LORDH3068: quickenH2421 me according to thy judgmentsH4941. {Great: or, Many}
ManyH7227 are my persecutorsH7291 and mine enemiesH6862; yet do I not declineH5186 from thy testimoniesH5715.
I beheldH7200 the transgressorsH898, and was grievedH6962; because they keptH8104 not thy wordH565.
ConsiderH7200 how I loveH157 thy preceptsH6490: quickenH2421 me, O LORDH3068, according to thy lovingkindnessH2617.
Thy wordH1697 is trueH571 from the beginningH7218: and every one of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941 endureth for everH5769. {Thy word…: Heb. The beginning of thy word is true}
SCHIN. PrincesH8269 have persecutedH7291 me without a causeH2600: but my heartH3820 standeth in aweH6342 of thy wordH1697.
I rejoiceH7797 at thy wordH565, as one that findethH4672 greatH7227 spoilH7998.
I hateH8130 and abhorH8581 lyingH8267: but thy lawH8451 do I loveH157.
Seven timesH7651 a dayH3117 do I praiseH1984 thee because of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
GreatH7227 peaceH7965 have they which loveH157 thy lawH8451: and nothing shall offendH4383 them. {nothing…: Heb. they shall have no stumblingblock}
LORDH3068, I have hopedH7663 for thy salvationH3444, and doneH6213 thy commandmentsH4687.
My soulH5315 hath keptH8104 thy testimoniesH5713; and I loveH157 them exceedinglyH3966.
I have keptH8104 thy preceptsH6490 and thy testimoniesH5713: for all my waysH1870 are before thee.
TAU. Let my cryH7440 come nearH7126 beforeH6440 thee, O LORDH3068: give me understandingH995 according to thy wordH1697.
Let my supplicationH8467 comeH935 beforeH6440 thee: deliverH5337 me according to thy wordH565.
My lipsH8193 shall utterH5042 praiseH8416, when thou hast taughtH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
My tongueH3956 shall speakH6030 of thy wordH565: for all thy commandmentsH4687 are righteousnessH6664.
Let thine handH3027 helpH5826 me; for I have chosenH977 thy preceptsH6490.
I have longedH8373 for thy salvationH3444, O LORDH3068; and thy lawH8451 is my delightH8191.
Let my soulH5315 liveH2421, and it shall praiseH1984 thee; and let thy judgmentsH4941 helpH5826 me.
I have gone astrayH8582 like a lostH6 sheepH7716; seekH1245 thy servantH5650; for I do not forgetH7911 thy commandmentsH4687.
ForG1063 finding faultG3201 with themG846, he saithG3004, BeholdG2400, the daysG2250 comeG2064, saithG3004 the LordG2962, whenG2532 I will makeG4931 a newG2537 covenantG1242 withG1909 the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 andG2532 withG1909 the houseG3624 of JudahG2455:
NotG3756 according toG2596 the covenantG1242 thatG3739 I made withG4160 theirG846 fathersG3962 inG1722 the dayG2250 when I tookG1949 themG846 by the handG3450+G5495 to leadG1806 themG846 out ofG1537 the landG1093 of EgyptG125; becauseG3754 theyG846 continuedG1696 notG3756 inG1722 myG3450 covenantG1242, and IG2504 regardedG272 themG846 notG272, saithG3004 the LordG2962.
ForG3754 thisG3778 is the covenantG1242 thatG3739 I will makeG1303 with the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 afterG3326 thoseG1565 daysG2250, saithG3004 the LordG2962; I will putG1325 myG3450 lawsG3551 intoG1519 theirG846 mindG1271, andG2532 writeG1924 themG846 inG1909 theirG846 heartsG2588: andG2532 I will beG2071 toG1519 themG846 a GodG2316, andG2532 theyG846 shall beG2071 toG1519 meG3427 a peopleG2992: {put: Gr. give} {in: or, upon}
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon MuthlabbenH4192+H1121, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. I will praiseH3034 thee, O LORDH3068, with my whole heartH3820; I will shew forthH5608 all thy marvellous worksH6381.
I will be gladH8055 and rejoiceH5970 in thee: I will sing praiseH2167 to thy nameH8034, O thou most HighH5945.
When mine enemiesH341 are turnedH7725 backH268, they shall fallH3782 and perishH6 at thy presenceH6440.
For thou hast maintainedH6213 my rightH4941 and my causeH1779; thou satestH3427 in the throneH3678 judgingH8199 rightH6664. {maintained…: Heb. made my judgment} {judging right: Heb. judging in righteousness}
Thou hast rebukedH1605 the heathenH1471, thou hast destroyedH6 the wickedH7563, thou hast put outH4229 their nameH8034 for everH5769 and everH5703.
O thou enemyH341, destructionsH2723 are come to a perpetualH5331 endH8552: and thou hast destroyedH5428 citiesH6145+H5892; their memorialH2143 is perishedH6 with themH1992. {O thou…: or, The destructions of the enemy are come to a perpetual end: and their cities hast thou destroyed, etc}
But the LORDH3068 shall endureH3427 for everH5769: he hath preparedH3559 his throneH3678 for judgmentH4941.
And he shall judgeH8199 the worldH8398 in righteousnessH6664, he shall minister judgmentH1777 to the peopleH3816 in uprightnessH4339.
The LORDH3068 also will be a refugeH4869 for the oppressedH1790, a refugeH4869 in timesH6256 of troubleH6869. {a refuge: Heb. an high place}
And they that knowH3045 thy nameH8034 will put their trustH982 in thee: for thou, LORDH3068, hast not forsakenH5800 them that seekH1875 thee.
Sing praisesH2167 to the LORDH3068, which dwellethH3427 in ZionH6726: declareH5046 among the peopleH5971 his doingsH5949.
When he maketh inquisitionH1875 for bloodH1818, he rememberethH2142 them: he forgettethH7911 not the cryH6818 of the humbleH6035+H6041. {humble: or, afflicted}
Have mercyH2603 upon me, O LORDH3068; considerH7200 my troubleH6040 which I suffer of them that hateH8130 me, thou that liftest me upH7311 from the gatesH8179 of deathH4194:
That I may shew forthH5608 all thy praiseH8416 in the gatesH8179 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726: I will rejoiceH1523 in thy salvationH3444.
The heathenH1471 are sunk downH2883 in the pitH7845 that they madeH6213: in the netH7568 whichH2098 they hidH2934 is their own footH7272 takenH3920.
The LORDH3068 is knownH3045 by the judgmentH4941 which he executethH6213: the wickedH7563 is snaredH5367 in the workH6467 of his own handsH3709. HiggaionH1902. SelahH5542. {Higgaion: that is, Meditation}
The wickedH7563 shall be turnedH7725 into hellH7585, and all the nationsH1471 that forgetH7913 GodH430.
For the needyH34 shall not alwayH5331 be forgottenH7911: the expectationH8615 of the poorH6041+H6035 shall not perishH6 for everH5703.
AriseH6965, O LORDH3068; let not manH582 prevailH5810: let the heathenH1471 be judgedH8199 in thy sightH6440.
PutH7896 them in fearH4172+H4172, O LORDH3068: that the nationsH1471 may knowH3045 themselves to be but menH582. SelahH5542.
Why standestH5975 thou afar offH7350, O LORDH3068? why hidestH5956 thou thyself in timesH6256 of troubleH6869?
The wickedH7563 in his prideH1346 doth persecuteH1814 the poorH6041: let them be takenH8610 in the devicesH4209 thatH2098 they have imaginedH2803. {The wicked…: Heb. In the pride of the wicked he doth persecute}
For the wickedH7563 boastethH1984 of his heart'sH5315 desireH8378, and blessethH1288 the covetousH1214, whom the LORDH3068 abhorrethH5006. {heart's: Heb. soul's} {blesseth…: or, the covetous blesseth himself, he abhorreth the LORD}
The wickedH7563, through the prideH1363 of his countenanceH639, will not seekH1875 after God: GodH430 is not in all his thoughtsH4209. {God is…: or, all his thoughts are, There is no God}
His waysH1870 are alwaysH6256 grievousH2342; thy judgmentsH4941 are far aboveH4791 out of his sight: as for all his enemiesH6887, he puffethH6315 at them.
He hath saidH559 in his heartH3820, I shall not be movedH4131: for I shall neverH1755+H1755 be in adversityH7451. {never: Heb. unto generation and generation}
His mouthH6310 is fullH4390 of cursingH423 and deceitH4820 and fraudH8496: under his tongueH3956 is mischiefH5999 and vanityH205. {deceit: Heb. deceits} {vanity: or, iniquity}
He sittethH3427 in the lurking placesH3993 of the villagesH2691: in the secret placesH4565 doth he murderH2026 the innocentH5355: his eyesH5869 are privily setH6845 against the poorH2489. {are…: Heb. hide themselves}
He lieth in waitH693 secretlyH4565 as a lionH738 in his denH5520: he lieth in waitH693 to catchH2414 the poorH6041: he doth catchH2414 the poorH6041, when he drawethH4900 him into his netH7568. {secretly: Heb. in the secret places}
He crouchethH1794, and humblethH7817 himself, that the poorH2426+H2489+H2489 may fallH5307 by his strong onesH6099. {He…: Heb. He breaketh himself} {by…: or, into his strong parts}
He hath saidH559 in his heartH3820, GodH410 hath forgottenH7911: he hidethH5641 his faceH6440; he will neverH5331 seeH7200 it.
AriseH6965, O LORDH3068; O GodH410, lift upH5375 thine handH3027: forgetH7911 not the humbleH6035+H6041. {humble: or, afflicted}
Wherefore doth the wickedH7563 contemnH5006 GodH430? he hath saidH559 in his heartH3820, Thou wilt not requireH1875 it.
Thou hast seenH7200 it; for thou beholdestH5027 mischiefH5999 and spiteH3708, to requiteH5414 it with thy handH3027: the poorH2489 committethH5800 himself unto thee; thou art the helperH5826 of the fatherlessH3490. {committeth: Heb. leaveth}
BreakH7665 thou the armH2220 of the wickedH7563 and the evilH7451 man: seek outH1875 his wickednessH7562 till thou findH4672 noneH1077.
The LORDH3068 is KingH4428 for everH5769 and everH5703: the heathenH1471 are perishedH6 out of his landH776.
LORDH3068, thou hast heardH8085 the desireH8378 of the humbleH6035: thou wilt prepareH3559 their heartH3820, thou wilt cause thine earH241 to hearH7181: {prepare: or, establish}
To judgeH8199 the fatherlessH3490 and the oppressedH1790, that the manH582 of the earthH776 may no moreH3254 oppressH6206. {oppress: or, terrify}
A Psalm of DavidH1732, when he changedH8138 his behaviourH2940 beforeH6440 AbimelechH40; who drove him awayH1644, and he departedH3212. I will blessH1288 the LORDH3068 at all timesH6256: his praiseH8416 shall continuallyH8548 be in my mouthH6310. {Abimelech: or, Achish}
My soulH5315 shall make her boastH1984 in the LORDH3068: the humbleH6035 shall hearH8085 thereof, and be gladH8055.
O magnifyH1431 the LORDH3068 with me, and let us exaltH7311 his nameH8034 togetherH3162.
I soughtH1875 the LORDH3068, and he heardH6030 me, and deliveredH5337 me from all my fearsH4035.
They lookedH5027 unto him, and were lightenedH5102: and their facesH6440 were not ashamedH2659. {were lightened: or, they flowed unto him}
This poor manH6041 criedH7121, and the LORDH3068 heardH8085 him, and savedH3467 him out of all his troublesH6869.
The angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 encampethH2583 round aboutH5439 them that fearH3373 him, and deliverethH2502 them.
O tasteH2938 and seeH7200 that the LORDH3068 is goodH2896: blessedH835 is the manH1397 that trustethH2620 in him.
O fearH3372 the LORDH3068, ye his saintsH6918: for there is no wantH4270 to them that fearH3373 him.
The young lionsH3715 do lackH7326, and suffer hungerH7456: but they that seekH1875 the LORDH3068 shall not wantH2637 any goodH2896 thing.
ComeH3212, ye childrenH1121, hearkenH8085 unto me: I will teachH3925 you the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068.
What manH376 is he that desirethH2655 lifeH2416, and lovethH157 many daysH3117, that he may seeH7200 goodH2896?
KeepH5341 thy tongueH3956 from evilH7451, and thy lipsH8193 from speakingH1696 guileH4820.
DepartH5493 from evilH7451, and doH6213 goodH2896; seekH1245 peaceH7965, and pursueH7291 it.
The eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068 are upon the righteousH6662, and his earsH241 are open unto their cryH7775.
The faceH6440 of the LORDH3068 is against them that doH6213 evilH7451, to cut offH3772 the remembranceH2143 of them from the earthH776.
The righteous cryH6817, and the LORDH3068 hearethH8085, and deliverethH5337 them out of all their troublesH6869.
The LORDH3068 is nighH7138 unto them that are of a brokenH7665 heartH3820; and savethH3467 such as be of a contriteH1793 spiritH7307. {unto…: Heb. to the broken of heart} {of a contrite…: Heb. contrite of spirit}
ManyH7227 are the afflictionsH7451 of the righteousH6662: but the LORDH3068 deliverethH5337 him out of them all.
He keepethH8104 all his bonesH6106: not oneH259 of themH2007 is brokenH7665.
EvilH7451 shall slayH4191 the wickedH7563: and they that hateH8130 the righteousH6662 shall be desolateH816. {desolate: or, guilty}
The LORDH3068 redeemethH6299 the soulH5315 of his servantsH5650: and none of them that trustH2620 in him shall be desolateH816. {desolate: or, guilty}
A Psalm of DavidH1732. FretH2734 not thyself because of evildoersH7489, neither be thou enviousH7065 against the workersH6213 of iniquityH5766.
For they shall soonH4120 be cut downH5243 like the grassH2682, and witherH5034 as the greenH3418 herbH1877.
TrustH982 in the LORDH3068, and doH6213 goodH2896; so shalt thou dwellH7931 in the landH776, and verilyH530 thou shalt be fedH7462. {verily: Heb. in truth, or, stableness}
DelightH6026 thyself also in the LORDH3068; and he shall giveH5414 thee the desiresH4862 of thine heartH3820.
CommitH1556 thy wayH1870 unto the LORDH3068; trustH982 also in him; and he shall bring it to passH6213. {Commit…: Heb. Roll thy way upon}
And he shall bring forthH3318 thy righteousnessH6664 as the lightH216, and thy judgmentH4941 as the noondayH6672.
RestH1826 in the LORDH3068, and wait patientlyH2342 for him: fretH2734 not thyself because of him who prosperethH6743 in his wayH1870, because of the manH376 who bringethH6213 wicked devicesH4209 to passH6213. {Rest in: Heb. Be silent to}
CeaseH7503 from angerH639, and forsakeH5800 wrathH2534: fretH2734 not thyself in any wiseH389 to do evilH7489.
For evildoersH7489 shall be cut offH3772: but those that waitH6960 upon the LORDH3068, they shall inheritH3423 the earthH776.
For yet a little whileH4592, and the wickedH7563 shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently considerH995 his placeH4725, and it shall not be.
But the meekH6035 shall inheritH3423 the earthH776; and shall delightH6026 themselves in the abundanceH7230 of peaceH7965.
The wickedH7563 plottethH2161 against the justH6662, and gnashethH2786 upon him with his teethH8127. {plotteth: or, practiseth}
The LordH136 shall laughH7832 at him: for he seethH7200 that his dayH3117 is comingH935.
The wickedH7563 have drawn outH6605 the swordH2719, and have bentH1869 their bowH7198, to cast downH5307 the poorH6041 and needyH34, and to slayH2873 such as be of uprightH3477 conversationH1870. {such…: Heb. the upright of way}
Their swordH2719 shall enterH935 into their own heartH3820, and their bowsH7198 shall be brokenH7665.
A littleH4592 that a righteous manH6662 hath is betterH2896 than the richesH1995 of manyH7227 wickedH7563.
For the armsH2220 of the wickedH7563 shall be brokenH7665: but the LORDH3068 upholdethH5564 the righteousH6662.
The LORDH3068 knowethH3045 the daysH3117 of the uprightH8549: and their inheritanceH5159 shall be for everH5769.
They shall not be ashamedH954 in the evilH7451 timeH6256: and in the daysH3117 of famineH7459 they shall be satisfiedH7646.
But the wickedH7563 shall perishH6, and the enemiesH341 of the LORDH3068 shall be as the fatH3368 of lambsH3733: they shall consumeH3615; into smokeH6227 shall they consume awayH3615. {the fat: Heb. the preciousness}
The wickedH7563 borrowethH3867, and payeth not againH7999: but the righteousH6662 sheweth mercyH2603, and givethH5414.
For such as be blessedH1288 of him shall inheritH3423 the earthH776; and they that be cursedH7043 of him shall be cut offH3772.
The stepsH4703 of a good manH1397 are orderedH3559 by the LORDH3068: and he delightethH2654 in his wayH1870. {ordered: or, established}
Though he fallH5307, he shall not be utterly cast downH2904: for the LORDH3068 upholdethH5564 him with his handH3027.
I have been youngH5288, and now am oldH2204; yet have I not seenH7200 the righteousH6662 forsakenH5800, nor his seedH2233 beggingH1245 breadH3899.
He is everH3117 mercifulH2603, and lendethH3867; and his seedH2233 is blessedH1293. {ever: Heb. all the day}
DepartH5493 from evilH7451, and doH6213 goodH2896; and dwellH7931 for evermoreH5769.
For the LORDH3068 lovethH157 judgmentH4941, and forsakethH5800 not his saintsH2623; they are preservedH8104 for everH5769: but the seedH2233 of the wickedH7563 shall be cut offH3772.
The righteousH6662 shall inheritH3423 the landH776, and dwellH7931 therein for everH5703.
The mouthH6310 of the righteousH6662 speakethH1897 wisdomH2451, and his tongueH3956 talkethH1696 of judgmentH4941.
The lawH8451 of his GodH430 is in his heartH3820; none of his stepsH838 shall slideH4571. {steps: or, goings}
The wickedH7563 watchethH6822 the righteousH6662, and seekethH1245 to slayH4191 him.
The LORDH3068 will not leaveH5800 him in his handH3027, nor condemnH7561 him when he is judgedH8199.
WaitH6960 on the LORDH3068, and keepH8104 his wayH1870, and he shall exaltH7311 thee to inheritH3423 the landH776: when the wickedH7563 are cut offH3772, thou shalt seeH7200 it.
I have seenH7200 the wickedH7563 in great powerH6184, and spreadingH6168 himself like a greenH7488 bay treeH249. {a green…: or, a green tree that groweth in his own soil}
Yet he passed awayH5674, and, lo, he was not: yea, I soughtH1245 him, but he could not be foundH4672.
MarkH8104 the perfectH8535 man, and beholdH7200 the uprightH3477: for the endH319 of that manH376 is peaceH7965.
But the transgressorsH6586 shall be destroyedH8045 togetherH3162: the endH319 of the wickedH7563 shall be cut offH3772.
But the salvationH8668 of the righteousH6662 is of the LORDH3068: he is their strengthH4581 in the timeH6256 of troubleH6869.
And the LORDH3068 shall helpH5826 them, and deliverH6403 them: he shall deliverH6403 them from the wickedH7563, and saveH3467 them, because they trustH2620 in him.
PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. I will praiseH3034 the LORDH3068 with my whole heartH3824, in the assemblyH5475 of the uprightH3477, and in the congregationH5712. {Praise ye…: Heb. Hallelujah}
The worksH4639 of the LORDH3068 are greatH1419, sought outH1875 of all them that have pleasureH2656 therein.
His workH6467 is honourableH1935 and gloriousH1926: and his righteousnessH6666 endurethH5975 for everH5703.
He hath madeH6213 his wonderful worksH6381 to be rememberedH2143: the LORDH3068 is graciousH2587 and full of compassionH7349.
He hath givenH5414 meatH2964 unto them that fearH3373 him: he will everH5769 be mindfulH2142 of his covenantH1285. {meat: Heb. prey}
He hath shewedH5046 his peopleH5971 the powerH3581 of his worksH4639, that he may giveH5414 them the heritageH5159 of the heathenH1471.
The worksH4639 of his handsH3027 are verityH571 and judgmentH4941; all his commandmentsH6490 are sureH539.
They stand fastH5564 for everH5703 and everH5769, and are doneH6213 in truthH571 and uprightnessH3477. {stand…: Heb. are established}
He sentH7971 redemptionH6304 unto his peopleH5971: he hath commandedH6680 his covenantH1285 for everH5769: holyH6918 and reverendH3372 is his nameH8034.
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is the beginningH7225 of wisdomH2451: a goodH2896 understandingH7922 have all they that doH6213 his commandments: his praiseH8416 endurethH5975 for everH5703. {a good…: or, good success} {his commandments: Heb. them}
PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. BlessedH835 is the manH376 that fearethH3372 the LORDH3068, that delightethH2654 greatlyH3966 in his commandmentsH4687. {Praise…: Heb. Hallelujah}
His seedH2233 shall be mightyH1368 upon earthH776: the generationH1755 of the uprightH3477 shall be blessedH1288.
WealthH1952 and richesH6239 shall be in his houseH1004: and his righteousnessH6666 endurethH5975 for everH5703.
Unto the uprightH3477 there arisethH2224 lightH216 in the darknessH2822: he is graciousH2587, and full of compassionH7349, and righteousH6662.
A goodH2896 manH376 sheweth favourH2603, and lendethH3867: he will guideH3557 his affairsH1697 with discretionH4941. {discretion: Heb. judgment}
Surely he shall not be movedH4131 for everH5769: the righteousH6662 shall be in everlastingH5769 remembranceH2143.
He shall not be afraidH3372 of evilH7451 tidingsH8052: his heartH3820 is fixedH3559, trustingH982 in the LORDH3068.
His heartH3820 is establishedH5564, he shall not be afraidH3372, until he seeH7200 his desire upon his enemiesH6862.
He hath dispersedH6340, he hath givenH5414 to the poorH34; his righteousnessH6666 endurethH5975 for everH5703; his hornH7161 shall be exaltedH7311 with honourH3519.
The wickedH7563 shall seeH7200 it, and be grievedH3707; he shall gnashH2786 with his teethH8127, and melt awayH4549: the desireH8378 of the wickedH7563 shall perishH6.
David'sH1732 Psalm of praiseH8416. I will extolH7311 thee, my GodH430, O kingH4428; and I will blessH1288 thy nameH8034 for everH5769 and everH5703.
Every dayH3117 will I blessH1288 thee; and I will praiseH1984 thy nameH8034 for everH5769 and everH5703.
GreatH1419 is the LORDH3068, and greatlyH3966 to be praisedH1984; and his greatnessH1420 is unsearchableH2714. {and his…: Heb. and of his greatness there is no search}
OneH1755 generationH1755 shall praiseH7623 thy worksH4639 to another, and shall declareH5046 thy mighty actsH1369.
I will speakH7878 of the gloriousH3519 honourH1926 of thy majestyH1935, and of thy wondrousH6381 worksH1697. {works: Heb. things, or, words}
And men shall speakH559 of the mightH5807 of thy terrible actsH3372: and I will declareH5608 thy greatnessH1420. {declare: Heb. declare it}
They shall abundantly utterH5042 the memoryH2143 of thy greatH7227 goodnessH2898, and shall singH7442 of thy righteousnessH6666.
The LORDH3068 is graciousH2587, and full of compassionH7349; slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH1419 mercyH2617. {of great…: Heb. great in mercy}
The LORDH3068 is goodH2896 to all: and his tender merciesH7356 are over all his worksH4639.
All thy worksH4639 shall praiseH3034 thee, O LORDH3068; and thy saintsH2623 shall blessH1288 thee.
They shall speakH559 of the gloryH3519 of thy kingdomH4438, and talkH1696 of thy powerH1369;
To make knownH3045 to the sonsH1121 of menH120 his mighty actsH1369, and the gloriousH3519 majestyH1926 of his kingdomH4438.
Thy kingdomH4438 is an everlastingH5769 kingdomH4438, and thy dominionH4475 endureth throughout allH1755 generationsH1755. {an…: Heb. a kingdom of all ages}
The LORDH3068 upholdethH5564 all that fallH5307, and raiseth upH2210 all those that be bowed downH3721.
The eyesH5869 of all waitH7663 upon thee; and thou givestH5414 them their meatH400 in due seasonH6256. {wait…: or, look unto}
Thou openestH6605 thine handH3027, and satisfiestH7646 the desireH7522 of every living thingH2416.
The LORDH3068 is righteousH6662 in all his waysH1870, and holyH2623 in all his worksH4639. {holy: or, merciful, or, bountiful}
The LORDH3068 is nighH7138 unto all them that callH7121 upon him, to all that callH7121 upon him in truthH571.
He will fulfilH6213 the desireH7522 of them that fearH3373 him: he also will hearH8085 their cryH7775, and will saveH3467 them.
The LORDH3068 preservethH8104 all them that loveH157 him: but all the wickedH7563 will he destroyH8045.
My mouthH6310 shall speakH1696 the praiseH8416 of the LORDH3068: and let all fleshH1320 blessH1288 his holyH6944 nameH8034 for everH5769 and everH5703.
ALEPH. BlessedH835 are the undefiledH8549 in the wayH1870, who walkH1980 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068. {undefiled: or, perfect, or, sincere}
BlessedH835 are they that keepH5341 his testimoniesH5713, and that seekH1875 him with the whole heartH3820.
They also doH6466 no iniquityH5766: they walkH1980 in his waysH1870.
Thou hast commandedH6680 us to keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490 diligentlyH3966.
O thatH305 my waysH1870 were directedH3559 to keepH8104 thy statutesH2706!
Then shall I not be ashamedH954, when I have respectH5027 unto all thy commandmentsH4687.
I will praiseH3034 thee with uprightnessH3476 of heartH3824, when I shall have learnedH3925 thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941. {thy…: Heb. judgments of thy righteousness}
I will keepH8104 thy statutesH2706: O forsakeH5800 me not utterlyH3966.
BETH. Wherewithal shall a young manH5288 cleanseH2135 his wayH734? by taking heedH8104 thereto according to thy wordH1697.
With my whole heartH3820 have I soughtH1875 thee: O let me not wanderH7686 from thy commandmentsH4687.
Thy wordH565 have I hidH6845 in mine heartH3820, that I might not sinH2398 against thee.
BlessedH1288 art thou, O LORDH3068: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
With my lipsH8193 have I declaredH5608 all the judgmentsH4941 of thy mouthH6310.
I have rejoicedH7797 in the wayH1870 of thy testimoniesH5715, as much as inH5921 all richesH1952.
I will meditateH7878 in thy preceptsH6490, and have respectH5027 unto thy waysH734.
I will delightH8173 myself in thy statutesH2708: I will not forgetH7911 thy wordH1697.
GIMEL. Deal bountifullyH1580 with thy servantH5650, that I may liveH2421, and keepH8104 thy wordH1697.
OpenH1540 thou mine eyesH5869, that I may beholdH5027 wondrous thingsH6381 out of thy lawH8451. {Open: Heb. Reveal}
I am a strangerH1616 in the earthH776: hideH5641 not thy commandmentsH4687 from me.
My soulH5315 breakethH1638 for the longingH8375 that it hath unto thy judgmentsH4941 at all timesH6256.
Thou hast rebukedH1605 the proudH2086 that are cursedH779, which do errH7686 from thy commandmentsH4687.
RemoveH1556 from me reproachH2781 and contemptH937; for I have keptH5341 thy testimoniesH5713.
PrincesH8269 also did sitH3427 and speakH1696 against me: but thy servantH5650 did meditateH7878 in thy statutesH2706.
Thy testimoniesH5713 also are my delightH8191 and my counsellorsH582+H6098. {my counsellors: Heb. men of my counsel}
DALETH. My soulH5315 cleavethH1692 unto the dustH6083: quickenH2421 thou me according to thy wordH1697.
I have declaredH5608 my waysH1870, and thou heardestH6030 me: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
Make me to understandH995 the wayH1870 of thy preceptsH6490: so shall I talkH7878 of thy wondrous worksH6381.
My soulH5315 meltethH1811 for heavinessH8424: strengthenH6965 thou me according unto thy wordH1697. {melteth: Heb. droppeth}
RemoveH5493 from me the wayH1870 of lyingH8267: and grant me thy lawH8451 graciouslyH2603.
I have chosenH977 the wayH1870 of truthH530: thy judgmentsH4941 have I laidH7737 before me.
I have stuckH1692 unto thy testimoniesH5715: O LORDH3068, put me not to shameH954.
I will runH7323 the wayH1870 of thy commandmentsH4687, when thou shalt enlargeH7337 my heartH3820.
HE. TeachH3384 me, O LORDH3068, the wayH1870 of thy statutesH2706; and I shall keepH5341 it unto the endH6118.
Give me understandingH995, and I shall keepH5341 thy lawH8451; yea, I shall observeH8104 it with my whole heartH3820.
Make me to goH1869 in the pathH5410 of thy commandmentsH4687; for therein do I delightH2654.
InclineH5186 my heartH3820 unto thy testimoniesH5715, and not to covetousnessH1215.
Turn awayH5674 mine eyesH5869 from beholdingH7200 vanityH7723; and quickenH2421 thou me in thy wayH1870. {Turn…: Heb. Make to pass}
StablishH6965 thy wordH565 unto thy servantH5650, who is devoted to thy fearH3374.
Turn awayH5674 my reproachH2781 which I fearH3025: for thy judgmentsH4941 are goodH2896.
Behold, I have longedH8373 after thy preceptsH6490: quickenH2421 me in thy righteousnessH6666.
VAU. Let thy merciesH2617 comeH935 also unto me, O LORDH3068, even thy salvationH8668, according to thy wordH565.
So shall I have wherewithH1697 to answerH6030 him that reproachethH2778 me: for I trustH982 in thy wordH1697. {So…: or, So shall I answer him that reproveth me in a thing}
And takeH5337 not the wordH1697 of truthH571 utterlyH3966 out of my mouthH6310; for I have hopedH3176 in thy judgmentsH4941.
So shall I keepH8104 thy lawH8451 continuallyH8548 for everH5769 and everH5703.
And I will walkH1980 at libertyH7342: for I seekH1875 thy preceptsH6490. {at liberty: Heb. at large}
I will speakH1696 of thy testimoniesH5713 also before kingsH4428, and will not be ashamedH954.
And I will delightH8173 myself in thy commandmentsH4687, which I have lovedH157.
My handsH3709 also will I lift upH5375 unto thy commandmentsH4687, which I have lovedH157; and I will meditateH7878 in thy statutesH2706.
ZAIN. RememberH2142 the wordH1697 unto thy servantH5650, upon which thou hast caused me to hopeH3176.
This is my comfortH5165 in my afflictionH6040: for thy wordH565 hath quickenedH2421 me.
The proudH2086 have had me greatlyH3966 in derisionH3887: yet have I not declinedH5186 from thy lawH8451.
I rememberedH2142 thy judgmentsH4941 of oldH5769, O LORDH3068; and have comfortedH5162 myself.
HorrorH2152 hath taken holdH270 upon me because of the wickedH7563 that forsakeH5800 thy lawH8451.
Thy statutesH2706 have been my songsH2158 in the houseH1004 of my pilgrimageH4033.
I have rememberedH2142 thy nameH8034, O LORDH3068, in the nightH3915, and have keptH8104 thy lawH8451.
This I had, because I keptH5341 thy preceptsH6490.
CHETH. Thou art my portionH2506, O LORDH3068: I have saidH559 that I would keepH8104 thy wordsH1697.
I intreatedH2470 thy favourH6440 with my whole heartH3820: be mercifulH2603 unto me according to thy wordH565. {favour: Heb. face}
I thoughtH2803 on my waysH1870, and turnedH7725 my feetH7272 unto thy testimoniesH5713.
I made hasteH2363, and delayedH4102 not to keepH8104 thy commandmentsH4687.
The bandsH2256 of the wickedH7563 have robbedH5749 me: but I have not forgottenH7911 thy lawH8451. {bands: or, companies}
At midnightH2676+H3915 I will riseH6965 to give thanksH3034 unto thee because of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
I am a companionH2270 of all them that fearH3372 thee, and of them that keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490.
The earthH776, O LORDH3068, is fullH4390 of thy mercyH2617: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
TETH. Thou hast dealtH6213 wellH2896 with thy servantH5650, O LORDH3068, according unto thy wordH1697.
TeachH3925 me goodH2898 judgmentH2940 and knowledgeH1847: for I have believedH539 thy commandmentsH4687.
Before I was afflictedH6031 I went astrayH7683: but now have I keptH8104 thy wordH565.
Thou art goodH2896, and doest goodH2895; teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
The proudH2086 have forgedH2950 a lieH8267 against me: but I will keepH5341 thy preceptsH6490 with my whole heartH3820.
Their heartH3820 is as fatH2954 as greaseH2459; but I delightH8173 in thy lawH8451.
It is goodH2896 for me that I have been afflictedH6031; that I might learnH3925 thy statutesH2706.
The lawH8451 of thy mouthH6310 is betterH2896 unto me than thousandsH505 of goldH2091 and silverH3701.
JOD. Thy handsH3027 have madeH6213 me and fashionedH3559 me: give me understandingH995, that I may learnH3925 thy commandmentsH4687.
They that fearH3373 thee will be gladH8055 when they seeH7200 me; because I have hopedH3176 in thy wordH1697.
I knowH3045, O LORDH3068, that thy judgmentsH4941 are rightH6664, and that thou in faithfulnessH530 hast afflictedH6031 me. {right: Heb. righteousness}
Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindnessH2617 be for my comfortH5162, according to thy wordH565 unto thy servantH5650. {for…: Heb. to comfort me}
Let thy tender merciesH7356 comeH935 unto me, that I may liveH2421: for thy lawH8451 is my delightH8191.
Let the proudH2086 be ashamedH954; for they dealt perverselyH5791 with me without a causeH8267: but I will meditateH7878 in thy preceptsH6490.
Let those that fearH3373 thee turnH7725 unto me, and those that have knownH3045+H3045 thy testimoniesH5713.
Let my heartH3820 be soundH8549 in thy statutesH2706; that I be not ashamedH954.
CAPH. My soulH5315 faintethH3615 for thy salvationH8668: but I hopeH3176 in thy wordH1697.
Mine eyesH5869 failH3615 for thy wordH565, sayingH559, When wilt thou comfortH5162 me?
For I am become like a bottleH4997 in the smokeH7008; yet do I not forgetH7911 thy statutesH2706.
How many are the daysH3117 of thy servantH5650? when wilt thou executeH6213 judgmentH4941 on them that persecuteH7291 me?
The proudH2086 have diggedH3738 pitsH7882 for me, which are not after thy lawH8451.
All thy commandmentsH4687 are faithfulH530: they persecuteH7291 me wrongfullyH8267; helpH5826 thou me. {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}
They had almostH4592 consumedH3615 me upon earthH776; but I forsookH5800 not thy preceptsH6490.
QuickenH2421 me after thy lovingkindnessH2617; so shall I keepH8104 the testimonyH5715 of thy mouthH6310.
LAMED. For everH5769, O LORDH3068, thy wordH1697 is settledH5324 in heavenH8064.
Thy faithfulnessH530 is unto allH1755 generationsH1755: thou hast establishedH3559 the earthH776, and it abidethH5975. {unto…: Heb. to generation and generation} {abideth: Heb. standeth}
They continueH5975 this dayH3117 according to thine ordinancesH4941: for all are thy servantsH5650.
UnlessH3884 thy lawH8451 had been my delightsH8191, I should then have perishedH6 in mine afflictionH6040.
I will neverH5769 forgetH7911 thy preceptsH6490: for with them thou hast quickenedH2421 me.
I am thine, saveH3467 me; for I have soughtH1875 thy preceptsH6490.
The wickedH7563 have waitedH6960 for me to destroyH6 me: but I will considerH995 thy testimoniesH5713.
I have seenH7200 an endH7093 of all perfectionH8502: but thy commandmentH4687 is exceedingH3966 broadH7342.
MEM. O how love IH157 thy lawH8451! it is my meditationH7881 all the dayH3117.
Thou through thy commandmentsH4687 hast made me wiserH2449 than mine enemiesH341: for they are everH5769 with me. {they…: Heb. it is ever with me}
I have more understandingH7919 than all my teachersH3925: for thy testimoniesH5715 are my meditationH7881.
I understandH995 more than the ancientsH2205, because I keepH5341 thy preceptsH6490.
I have refrainedH3607 my feetH7272 from every evilH7451 wayH734, that I might keepH8104 thy wordH1697.
I have not departedH5493 from thy judgmentsH4941: for thou hast taughtH3384 me.
How sweetH4452 are thy wordsH565 unto my tasteH2441! yea, sweeter than honeyH1706 to my mouthH6310! {taste: Heb. palate}
Through thy preceptsH6490 I get understandingH995: therefore I hateH8130 every falseH8267 wayH734.
NUN. Thy wordH1697 is a lampH5216 unto my feetH7272, and a lightH216 unto my pathH5410. {lamp: or, candle}
I have swornH7650, and I will performH6965 it, that I will keepH8104 thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
I am afflictedH6031 very muchH3966: quickenH2421 me, O LORDH3068, according unto thy wordH1697.
AcceptH7521, I beseech thee, the freewill offeringsH5071 of my mouthH6310, O LORDH3068, and teachH3925 me thy judgmentsH4941.
My soulH5315 is continuallyH8548 in my handH3709: yet do I not forgetH7911 thy lawH8451.
The wickedH7563 have laidH5414 a snareH6341 for me: yet I erredH8582 not from thy preceptsH6490.
Thy testimoniesH5715 have I taken as an heritageH5157 for everH5769: for they are the rejoicingH8342 of my heartH3820.
I have inclinedH5186 mine heartH3820 to performH6213 thy statutesH2706 alwayH5769, even unto the endH6118. {to perform: Heb. to do}
SAMECH. I hateH8130 vain thoughtsH5588: but thy lawH8451 do I loveH157.
Thou art my hiding placeH5643 and my shieldH4043: I hopeH3176 in thy wordH1697.
DepartH5493 from me, ye evildoersH7489: for I will keepH5341 the commandmentsH4687 of my GodH430.
UpholdH5564 me according unto thy wordH565, that I may liveH2421: and let me not be ashamedH954 of my hopeH7664.
Hold thou me upH5582, and I shall be safeH3467: and I will have respectH8159 unto thy statutesH2706 continuallyH8548.
Thou hast trodden downH5541 all them that errH7686 from thy statutesH2706: for their deceitH8649 is falsehoodH8267.
Thou puttest awayH7673 all the wickedH7563 of the earthH776 like drossH5509: therefore I loveH157 thy testimoniesH5713. {puttest…: Heb. causest to cease}
My fleshH1320 tremblethH5568 for fearH6343 of thee; and I am afraidH3372 of thy judgmentsH4941.
AIN. I have doneH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6664: leaveH3240 me not to mine oppressorsH6231.
Be suretyH6148 for thy servantH5650 for goodH2896: let not the proudH2086 oppressH6231 me.
Mine eyesH5869 failH3615 for thy salvationH3444, and for the wordH565 of thy righteousnessH6664.
DealH6213 with thy servantH5650 according unto thy mercyH2617, and teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
I am thy servantH5650; give me understandingH995, that I may knowH3045 thy testimoniesH5713.
It is timeH6256 for thee, LORDH3068, to workH6213: for they have made voidH6565 thy lawH8451.
Therefore I loveH157 thy commandmentsH4687 above goldH2091; yea, above fine goldH6337.
Therefore I esteem all thy preceptsH6490 concerning all things to be rightH3474; and I hateH8130 every falseH8267 wayH734.
PE. Thy testimoniesH5715 are wonderfulH6382: therefore doth my soulH5315 keepH5341 them.
The entranceH6608 of thy wordsH1697 giveth lightH215; it giveth understandingH995 unto the simpleH6612.
I openedH6473 my mouthH6310, and pantedH7602: for I longedH2968 for thy commandmentsH4687.
LookH6437 thou upon me, and be mercifulH2603 unto me, as thou usestH4941 to do unto those that loveH157 thy nameH8034. {as thou…: Heb. according to the custom toward those, etc}
OrderH3559 my stepsH6471 in thy wordH565: and let not any iniquityH205 have dominionH7980 over me.
DeliverH6299 me from the oppressionH6233 of manH120: so will I keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490.
Make thy faceH6440 to shineH215 upon thy servantH5650; and teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
RiversH6388 of watersH4325 run downH3381 mine eyesH5869, because they keepH8104 not thy lawH8451.
TZADDI. RighteousH6662 art thou, O LORDH3068, and uprightH3477 are thy judgmentsH4941.
Thy testimoniesH5713 that thou hast commandedH6680 are righteousH6664 and veryH3966 faithfulH530. {righteous: Heb. righteousness} {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}
My zealH7068 hath consumedH6789 me, because mine enemiesH6862 have forgottenH7911 thy wordsH1697. {consumed…: Heb. cut me off}
Thy wordH565 is veryH3966 pureH6884: therefore thy servantH5650 lovethH157 it. {pure: Heb. tried, or, refined}
I am smallH6810 and despisedH959: yet do not I forgetH7911 thy preceptsH6490.
Thy righteousnessH6666 is an everlastingH5769 righteousnessH6664, and thy lawH8451 is the truthH571.
TroubleH6862 and anguishH4689 have taken holdH4672 on me: yet thy commandmentsH4687 are my delightsH8191. {taken…: Heb. found me}
The righteousnessH6664 of thy testimoniesH5715 is everlastingH5769: give me understandingH995, and I shall liveH2421.
KOPH. I criedH7121 with my whole heartH3820; hearH6030 me, O LORDH3068: I will keepH5341 thy statutesH2706.
I criedH7121 unto thee; saveH3467 me, and I shall keepH8104 thy testimoniesH5713. {and I…: or, that I may keep}
I preventedH6923 the dawning of the morningH5399, and criedH7768: I hopedH3176 in thy wordH1697.
Mine eyesH5869 preventH6923 the night watchesH821, that I might meditateH7878 in thy wordH565.
HearH8085 my voiceH6963 according unto thy lovingkindnessH2617: O LORDH3068, quickenH2421 me according to thy judgmentH4941.
They draw nighH7126 that followH7291 after mischiefH2154: they are farH7368 from thy lawH8451.
Thou art nearH7138, O LORDH3068; and all thy commandmentsH4687 are truthH571.
Concerning thy testimoniesH5713, I have knownH3045 of oldH6924 that thou hast foundedH3245 them for everH5769.
RESH. ConsiderH7200 mine afflictionH6040, and deliverH2502 me: for I do not forgetH7911 thy lawH8451.
PleadH7378 my causeH7379, and deliverH1350 me: quickenH2421 me according to thy wordH565.
SalvationH3444 is farH7350 from the wickedH7563: for they seekH1875 not thy statutesH2706.
GreatH7227 are thy tender merciesH7356, O LORDH3068: quickenH2421 me according to thy judgmentsH4941. {Great: or, Many}
ManyH7227 are my persecutorsH7291 and mine enemiesH6862; yet do I not declineH5186 from thy testimoniesH5715.
I beheldH7200 the transgressorsH898, and was grievedH6962; because they keptH8104 not thy wordH565.
ConsiderH7200 how I loveH157 thy preceptsH6490: quickenH2421 me, O LORDH3068, according to thy lovingkindnessH2617.
Thy wordH1697 is trueH571 from the beginningH7218: and every one of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941 endureth for everH5769. {Thy word…: Heb. The beginning of thy word is true}
SCHIN. PrincesH8269 have persecutedH7291 me without a causeH2600: but my heartH3820 standeth in aweH6342 of thy wordH1697.
I rejoiceH7797 at thy wordH565, as one that findethH4672 greatH7227 spoilH7998.
I hateH8130 and abhorH8581 lyingH8267: but thy lawH8451 do I loveH157.
Seven timesH7651 a dayH3117 do I praiseH1984 thee because of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
GreatH7227 peaceH7965 have they which loveH157 thy lawH8451: and nothing shall offendH4383 them. {nothing…: Heb. they shall have no stumblingblock}
LORDH3068, I have hopedH7663 for thy salvationH3444, and doneH6213 thy commandmentsH4687.
My soulH5315 hath keptH8104 thy testimoniesH5713; and I loveH157 them exceedinglyH3966.
I have keptH8104 thy preceptsH6490 and thy testimoniesH5713: for all my waysH1870 are before thee.
TAU. Let my cryH7440 come nearH7126 beforeH6440 thee, O LORDH3068: give me understandingH995 according to thy wordH1697.
Let my supplicationH8467 comeH935 beforeH6440 thee: deliverH5337 me according to thy wordH565.
My lipsH8193 shall utterH5042 praiseH8416, when thou hast taughtH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
My tongueH3956 shall speakH6030 of thy wordH565: for all thy commandmentsH4687 are righteousnessH6664.
Let thine handH3027 helpH5826 me; for I have chosenH977 thy preceptsH6490.
I have longedH8373 for thy salvationH3444, O LORDH3068; and thy lawH8451 is my delightH8191.
Let my soulH5315 liveH2421, and it shall praiseH1984 thee; and let thy judgmentsH4941 helpH5826 me.
I have gone astrayH8582 like a lostH6 sheepH7716; seekH1245 thy servantH5650; for I do not forgetH7911 thy commandmentsH4687.
ALEPH. BlessedH835 are the undefiledH8549 in the wayH1870, who walkH1980 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068. {undefiled: or, perfect, or, sincere}
BlessedH835 are they that keepH5341 his testimoniesH5713, and that seekH1875 him with the whole heartH3820.
They also doH6466 no iniquityH5766: they walkH1980 in his waysH1870.
Thou hast commandedH6680 us to keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490 diligentlyH3966.
O thatH305 my waysH1870 were directedH3559 to keepH8104 thy statutesH2706!
Then shall I not be ashamedH954, when I have respectH5027 unto all thy commandmentsH4687.
I will praiseH3034 thee with uprightnessH3476 of heartH3824, when I shall have learnedH3925 thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941. {thy…: Heb. judgments of thy righteousness}
I will keepH8104 thy statutesH2706: O forsakeH5800 me not utterlyH3966.
BETH. Wherewithal shall a young manH5288 cleanseH2135 his wayH734? by taking heedH8104 thereto according to thy wordH1697.
With my whole heartH3820 have I soughtH1875 thee: O let me not wanderH7686 from thy commandmentsH4687.
Thy wordH565 have I hidH6845 in mine heartH3820, that I might not sinH2398 against thee.
BlessedH1288 art thou, O LORDH3068: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
With my lipsH8193 have I declaredH5608 all the judgmentsH4941 of thy mouthH6310.
I have rejoicedH7797 in the wayH1870 of thy testimoniesH5715, as much as inH5921 all richesH1952.
I will meditateH7878 in thy preceptsH6490, and have respectH5027 unto thy waysH734.
I will delightH8173 myself in thy statutesH2708: I will not forgetH7911 thy wordH1697.
GIMEL. Deal bountifullyH1580 with thy servantH5650, that I may liveH2421, and keepH8104 thy wordH1697.
OpenH1540 thou mine eyesH5869, that I may beholdH5027 wondrous thingsH6381 out of thy lawH8451. {Open: Heb. Reveal}
I am a strangerH1616 in the earthH776: hideH5641 not thy commandmentsH4687 from me.
My soulH5315 breakethH1638 for the longingH8375 that it hath unto thy judgmentsH4941 at all timesH6256.
Thou hast rebukedH1605 the proudH2086 that are cursedH779, which do errH7686 from thy commandmentsH4687.
RemoveH1556 from me reproachH2781 and contemptH937; for I have keptH5341 thy testimoniesH5713.
PrincesH8269 also did sitH3427 and speakH1696 against me: but thy servantH5650 did meditateH7878 in thy statutesH2706.
Thy testimoniesH5713 also are my delightH8191 and my counsellorsH582+H6098. {my counsellors: Heb. men of my counsel}
DALETH. My soulH5315 cleavethH1692 unto the dustH6083: quickenH2421 thou me according to thy wordH1697.
I have declaredH5608 my waysH1870, and thou heardestH6030 me: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
Make me to understandH995 the wayH1870 of thy preceptsH6490: so shall I talkH7878 of thy wondrous worksH6381.
My soulH5315 meltethH1811 for heavinessH8424: strengthenH6965 thou me according unto thy wordH1697. {melteth: Heb. droppeth}
RemoveH5493 from me the wayH1870 of lyingH8267: and grant me thy lawH8451 graciouslyH2603.
I have chosenH977 the wayH1870 of truthH530: thy judgmentsH4941 have I laidH7737 before me.
I have stuckH1692 unto thy testimoniesH5715: O LORDH3068, put me not to shameH954.
I will runH7323 the wayH1870 of thy commandmentsH4687, when thou shalt enlargeH7337 my heartH3820.
HE. TeachH3384 me, O LORDH3068, the wayH1870 of thy statutesH2706; and I shall keepH5341 it unto the endH6118.
Give me understandingH995, and I shall keepH5341 thy lawH8451; yea, I shall observeH8104 it with my whole heartH3820.
Make me to goH1869 in the pathH5410 of thy commandmentsH4687; for therein do I delightH2654.
InclineH5186 my heartH3820 unto thy testimoniesH5715, and not to covetousnessH1215.
Turn awayH5674 mine eyesH5869 from beholdingH7200 vanityH7723; and quickenH2421 thou me in thy wayH1870. {Turn…: Heb. Make to pass}
StablishH6965 thy wordH565 unto thy servantH5650, who is devoted to thy fearH3374.
Turn awayH5674 my reproachH2781 which I fearH3025: for thy judgmentsH4941 are goodH2896.
Behold, I have longedH8373 after thy preceptsH6490: quickenH2421 me in thy righteousnessH6666.
VAU. Let thy merciesH2617 comeH935 also unto me, O LORDH3068, even thy salvationH8668, according to thy wordH565.
So shall I have wherewithH1697 to answerH6030 him that reproachethH2778 me: for I trustH982 in thy wordH1697. {So…: or, So shall I answer him that reproveth me in a thing}
And takeH5337 not the wordH1697 of truthH571 utterlyH3966 out of my mouthH6310; for I have hopedH3176 in thy judgmentsH4941.
So shall I keepH8104 thy lawH8451 continuallyH8548 for everH5769 and everH5703.
And I will walkH1980 at libertyH7342: for I seekH1875 thy preceptsH6490. {at liberty: Heb. at large}
I will speakH1696 of thy testimoniesH5713 also before kingsH4428, and will not be ashamedH954.
And I will delightH8173 myself in thy commandmentsH4687, which I have lovedH157.
My handsH3709 also will I lift upH5375 unto thy commandmentsH4687, which I have lovedH157; and I will meditateH7878 in thy statutesH2706.
ZAIN. RememberH2142 the wordH1697 unto thy servantH5650, upon which thou hast caused me to hopeH3176.
This is my comfortH5165 in my afflictionH6040: for thy wordH565 hath quickenedH2421 me.
The proudH2086 have had me greatlyH3966 in derisionH3887: yet have I not declinedH5186 from thy lawH8451.
I rememberedH2142 thy judgmentsH4941 of oldH5769, O LORDH3068; and have comfortedH5162 myself.
HorrorH2152 hath taken holdH270 upon me because of the wickedH7563 that forsakeH5800 thy lawH8451.
Thy statutesH2706 have been my songsH2158 in the houseH1004 of my pilgrimageH4033.
I have rememberedH2142 thy nameH8034, O LORDH3068, in the nightH3915, and have keptH8104 thy lawH8451.
This I had, because I keptH5341 thy preceptsH6490.
CHETH. Thou art my portionH2506, O LORDH3068: I have saidH559 that I would keepH8104 thy wordsH1697.
I intreatedH2470 thy favourH6440 with my whole heartH3820: be mercifulH2603 unto me according to thy wordH565. {favour: Heb. face}
I thoughtH2803 on my waysH1870, and turnedH7725 my feetH7272 unto thy testimoniesH5713.
I made hasteH2363, and delayedH4102 not to keepH8104 thy commandmentsH4687.
The bandsH2256 of the wickedH7563 have robbedH5749 me: but I have not forgottenH7911 thy lawH8451. {bands: or, companies}
At midnightH2676+H3915 I will riseH6965 to give thanksH3034 unto thee because of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
I am a companionH2270 of all them that fearH3372 thee, and of them that keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490.
The earthH776, O LORDH3068, is fullH4390 of thy mercyH2617: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
TETH. Thou hast dealtH6213 wellH2896 with thy servantH5650, O LORDH3068, according unto thy wordH1697.
TeachH3925 me goodH2898 judgmentH2940 and knowledgeH1847: for I have believedH539 thy commandmentsH4687.
Before I was afflictedH6031 I went astrayH7683: but now have I keptH8104 thy wordH565.
Thou art goodH2896, and doest goodH2895; teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
The proudH2086 have forgedH2950 a lieH8267 against me: but I will keepH5341 thy preceptsH6490 with my whole heartH3820.
Their heartH3820 is as fatH2954 as greaseH2459; but I delightH8173 in thy lawH8451.
It is goodH2896 for me that I have been afflictedH6031; that I might learnH3925 thy statutesH2706.
The lawH8451 of thy mouthH6310 is betterH2896 unto me than thousandsH505 of goldH2091 and silverH3701.
JOD. Thy handsH3027 have madeH6213 me and fashionedH3559 me: give me understandingH995, that I may learnH3925 thy commandmentsH4687.
They that fearH3373 thee will be gladH8055 when they seeH7200 me; because I have hopedH3176 in thy wordH1697.
I knowH3045, O LORDH3068, that thy judgmentsH4941 are rightH6664, and that thou in faithfulnessH530 hast afflictedH6031 me. {right: Heb. righteousness}
Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindnessH2617 be for my comfortH5162, according to thy wordH565 unto thy servantH5650. {for…: Heb. to comfort me}
Let thy tender merciesH7356 comeH935 unto me, that I may liveH2421: for thy lawH8451 is my delightH8191.
Let the proudH2086 be ashamedH954; for they dealt perverselyH5791 with me without a causeH8267: but I will meditateH7878 in thy preceptsH6490.
Let those that fearH3373 thee turnH7725 unto me, and those that have knownH3045+H3045 thy testimoniesH5713.
Let my heartH3820 be soundH8549 in thy statutesH2706; that I be not ashamedH954.
CAPH. My soulH5315 faintethH3615 for thy salvationH8668: but I hopeH3176 in thy wordH1697.
Mine eyesH5869 failH3615 for thy wordH565, sayingH559, When wilt thou comfortH5162 me?
For I am become like a bottleH4997 in the smokeH7008; yet do I not forgetH7911 thy statutesH2706.
How many are the daysH3117 of thy servantH5650? when wilt thou executeH6213 judgmentH4941 on them that persecuteH7291 me?
The proudH2086 have diggedH3738 pitsH7882 for me, which are not after thy lawH8451.
All thy commandmentsH4687 are faithfulH530: they persecuteH7291 me wrongfullyH8267; helpH5826 thou me. {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}
They had almostH4592 consumedH3615 me upon earthH776; but I forsookH5800 not thy preceptsH6490.
QuickenH2421 me after thy lovingkindnessH2617; so shall I keepH8104 the testimonyH5715 of thy mouthH6310.
LAMED. For everH5769, O LORDH3068, thy wordH1697 is settledH5324 in heavenH8064.
Thy faithfulnessH530 is unto allH1755 generationsH1755: thou hast establishedH3559 the earthH776, and it abidethH5975. {unto…: Heb. to generation and generation} {abideth: Heb. standeth}
They continueH5975 this dayH3117 according to thine ordinancesH4941: for all are thy servantsH5650.
UnlessH3884 thy lawH8451 had been my delightsH8191, I should then have perishedH6 in mine afflictionH6040.
I will neverH5769 forgetH7911 thy preceptsH6490: for with them thou hast quickenedH2421 me.
I am thine, saveH3467 me; for I have soughtH1875 thy preceptsH6490.
The wickedH7563 have waitedH6960 for me to destroyH6 me: but I will considerH995 thy testimoniesH5713.
I have seenH7200 an endH7093 of all perfectionH8502: but thy commandmentH4687 is exceedingH3966 broadH7342.
MEM. O how love IH157 thy lawH8451! it is my meditationH7881 all the dayH3117.
Thou through thy commandmentsH4687 hast made me wiserH2449 than mine enemiesH341: for they are everH5769 with me. {they…: Heb. it is ever with me}
I have more understandingH7919 than all my teachersH3925: for thy testimoniesH5715 are my meditationH7881.
I understandH995 more than the ancientsH2205, because I keepH5341 thy preceptsH6490.
I have refrainedH3607 my feetH7272 from every evilH7451 wayH734, that I might keepH8104 thy wordH1697.
I have not departedH5493 from thy judgmentsH4941: for thou hast taughtH3384 me.
How sweetH4452 are thy wordsH565 unto my tasteH2441! yea, sweeter than honeyH1706 to my mouthH6310! {taste: Heb. palate}
Through thy preceptsH6490 I get understandingH995: therefore I hateH8130 every falseH8267 wayH734.
NUN. Thy wordH1697 is a lampH5216 unto my feetH7272, and a lightH216 unto my pathH5410. {lamp: or, candle}
I have swornH7650, and I will performH6965 it, that I will keepH8104 thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
I am afflictedH6031 very muchH3966: quickenH2421 me, O LORDH3068, according unto thy wordH1697.
AcceptH7521, I beseech thee, the freewill offeringsH5071 of my mouthH6310, O LORDH3068, and teachH3925 me thy judgmentsH4941.
My soulH5315 is continuallyH8548 in my handH3709: yet do I not forgetH7911 thy lawH8451.
The wickedH7563 have laidH5414 a snareH6341 for me: yet I erredH8582 not from thy preceptsH6490.
Thy testimoniesH5715 have I taken as an heritageH5157 for everH5769: for they are the rejoicingH8342 of my heartH3820.
I have inclinedH5186 mine heartH3820 to performH6213 thy statutesH2706 alwayH5769, even unto the endH6118. {to perform: Heb. to do}
SAMECH. I hateH8130 vain thoughtsH5588: but thy lawH8451 do I loveH157.
Thou art my hiding placeH5643 and my shieldH4043: I hopeH3176 in thy wordH1697.
DepartH5493 from me, ye evildoersH7489: for I will keepH5341 the commandmentsH4687 of my GodH430.
UpholdH5564 me according unto thy wordH565, that I may liveH2421: and let me not be ashamedH954 of my hopeH7664.
Hold thou me upH5582, and I shall be safeH3467: and I will have respectH8159 unto thy statutesH2706 continuallyH8548.
Thou hast trodden downH5541 all them that errH7686 from thy statutesH2706: for their deceitH8649 is falsehoodH8267.
Thou puttest awayH7673 all the wickedH7563 of the earthH776 like drossH5509: therefore I loveH157 thy testimoniesH5713. {puttest…: Heb. causest to cease}
My fleshH1320 tremblethH5568 for fearH6343 of thee; and I am afraidH3372 of thy judgmentsH4941.
AIN. I have doneH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6664: leaveH3240 me not to mine oppressorsH6231.
Be suretyH6148 for thy servantH5650 for goodH2896: let not the proudH2086 oppressH6231 me.
Mine eyesH5869 failH3615 for thy salvationH3444, and for the wordH565 of thy righteousnessH6664.
DealH6213 with thy servantH5650 according unto thy mercyH2617, and teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
I am thy servantH5650; give me understandingH995, that I may knowH3045 thy testimoniesH5713.
It is timeH6256 for thee, LORDH3068, to workH6213: for they have made voidH6565 thy lawH8451.
Therefore I loveH157 thy commandmentsH4687 above goldH2091; yea, above fine goldH6337.
Therefore I esteem all thy preceptsH6490 concerning all things to be rightH3474; and I hateH8130 every falseH8267 wayH734.
PE. Thy testimoniesH5715 are wonderfulH6382: therefore doth my soulH5315 keepH5341 them.
The entranceH6608 of thy wordsH1697 giveth lightH215; it giveth understandingH995 unto the simpleH6612.
I openedH6473 my mouthH6310, and pantedH7602: for I longedH2968 for thy commandmentsH4687.
LookH6437 thou upon me, and be mercifulH2603 unto me, as thou usestH4941 to do unto those that loveH157 thy nameH8034. {as thou…: Heb. according to the custom toward those, etc}
OrderH3559 my stepsH6471 in thy wordH565: and let not any iniquityH205 have dominionH7980 over me.
DeliverH6299 me from the oppressionH6233 of manH120: so will I keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490.
Make thy faceH6440 to shineH215 upon thy servantH5650; and teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
RiversH6388 of watersH4325 run downH3381 mine eyesH5869, because they keepH8104 not thy lawH8451.
TZADDI. RighteousH6662 art thou, O LORDH3068, and uprightH3477 are thy judgmentsH4941.
Thy testimoniesH5713 that thou hast commandedH6680 are righteousH6664 and veryH3966 faithfulH530. {righteous: Heb. righteousness} {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}
My zealH7068 hath consumedH6789 me, because mine enemiesH6862 have forgottenH7911 thy wordsH1697. {consumed…: Heb. cut me off}
Thy wordH565 is veryH3966 pureH6884: therefore thy servantH5650 lovethH157 it. {pure: Heb. tried, or, refined}
I am smallH6810 and despisedH959: yet do not I forgetH7911 thy preceptsH6490.
Thy righteousnessH6666 is an everlastingH5769 righteousnessH6664, and thy lawH8451 is the truthH571.
TroubleH6862 and anguishH4689 have taken holdH4672 on me: yet thy commandmentsH4687 are my delightsH8191. {taken…: Heb. found me}
The righteousnessH6664 of thy testimoniesH5715 is everlastingH5769: give me understandingH995, and I shall liveH2421.
KOPH. I criedH7121 with my whole heartH3820; hearH6030 me, O LORDH3068: I will keepH5341 thy statutesH2706.
I criedH7121 unto thee; saveH3467 me, and I shall keepH8104 thy testimoniesH5713. {and I…: or, that I may keep}
I preventedH6923 the dawning of the morningH5399, and criedH7768: I hopedH3176 in thy wordH1697.
Mine eyesH5869 preventH6923 the night watchesH821, that I might meditateH7878 in thy wordH565.
HearH8085 my voiceH6963 according unto thy lovingkindnessH2617: O LORDH3068, quickenH2421 me according to thy judgmentH4941.
They draw nighH7126 that followH7291 after mischiefH2154: they are farH7368 from thy lawH8451.
Thou art nearH7138, O LORDH3068; and all thy commandmentsH4687 are truthH571.
Concerning thy testimoniesH5713, I have knownH3045 of oldH6924 that thou hast foundedH3245 them for everH5769.
RESH. ConsiderH7200 mine afflictionH6040, and deliverH2502 me: for I do not forgetH7911 thy lawH8451.
PleadH7378 my causeH7379, and deliverH1350 me: quickenH2421 me according to thy wordH565.
SalvationH3444 is farH7350 from the wickedH7563: for they seekH1875 not thy statutesH2706.
GreatH7227 are thy tender merciesH7356, O LORDH3068: quickenH2421 me according to thy judgmentsH4941. {Great: or, Many}
ManyH7227 are my persecutorsH7291 and mine enemiesH6862; yet do I not declineH5186 from thy testimoniesH5715.
I beheldH7200 the transgressorsH898, and was grievedH6962; because they keptH8104 not thy wordH565.
ConsiderH7200 how I loveH157 thy preceptsH6490: quickenH2421 me, O LORDH3068, according to thy lovingkindnessH2617.
Thy wordH1697 is trueH571 from the beginningH7218: and every one of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941 endureth for everH5769. {Thy word…: Heb. The beginning of thy word is true}
SCHIN. PrincesH8269 have persecutedH7291 me without a causeH2600: but my heartH3820 standeth in aweH6342 of thy wordH1697.
I rejoiceH7797 at thy wordH565, as one that findethH4672 greatH7227 spoilH7998.
I hateH8130 and abhorH8581 lyingH8267: but thy lawH8451 do I loveH157.
Seven timesH7651 a dayH3117 do I praiseH1984 thee because of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
GreatH7227 peaceH7965 have they which loveH157 thy lawH8451: and nothing shall offendH4383 them. {nothing…: Heb. they shall have no stumblingblock}
LORDH3068, I have hopedH7663 for thy salvationH3444, and doneH6213 thy commandmentsH4687.
My soulH5315 hath keptH8104 thy testimoniesH5713; and I loveH157 them exceedinglyH3966.
I have keptH8104 thy preceptsH6490 and thy testimoniesH5713: for all my waysH1870 are before thee.
TAU. Let my cryH7440 come nearH7126 beforeH6440 thee, O LORDH3068: give me understandingH995 according to thy wordH1697.
Let my supplicationH8467 comeH935 beforeH6440 thee: deliverH5337 me according to thy wordH565.
My lipsH8193 shall utterH5042 praiseH8416, when thou hast taughtH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
My tongueH3956 shall speakH6030 of thy wordH565: for all thy commandmentsH4687 are righteousnessH6664.
Let thine handH3027 helpH5826 me; for I have chosenH977 thy preceptsH6490.
I have longedH8373 for thy salvationH3444, O LORDH3068; and thy lawH8451 is my delightH8191.
Let my soulH5315 liveH2421, and it shall praiseH1984 thee; and let thy judgmentsH4941 helpH5826 me.
I have gone astrayH8582 like a lostH6 sheepH7716; seekH1245 thy servantH5650; for I do not forgetH7911 thy commandmentsH4687.
ALEPH. BlessedH835 are the undefiledH8549 in the wayH1870, who walkH1980 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068. {undefiled: or, perfect, or, sincere}
BlessedH835 are they that keepH5341 his testimoniesH5713, and that seekH1875 him with the whole heartH3820.
They also doH6466 no iniquityH5766: they walkH1980 in his waysH1870.
Thou hast commandedH6680 us to keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490 diligentlyH3966.
O thatH305 my waysH1870 were directedH3559 to keepH8104 thy statutesH2706!
Then shall I not be ashamedH954, when I have respectH5027 unto all thy commandmentsH4687.
I will praiseH3034 thee with uprightnessH3476 of heartH3824, when I shall have learnedH3925 thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941. {thy…: Heb. judgments of thy righteousness}
I will keepH8104 thy statutesH2706: O forsakeH5800 me not utterlyH3966.
BETH. Wherewithal shall a young manH5288 cleanseH2135 his wayH734? by taking heedH8104 thereto according to thy wordH1697.
With my whole heartH3820 have I soughtH1875 thee: O let me not wanderH7686 from thy commandmentsH4687.
Thy wordH565 have I hidH6845 in mine heartH3820, that I might not sinH2398 against thee.
BlessedH1288 art thou, O LORDH3068: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
With my lipsH8193 have I declaredH5608 all the judgmentsH4941 of thy mouthH6310.
I have rejoicedH7797 in the wayH1870 of thy testimoniesH5715, as much as inH5921 all richesH1952.
I will meditateH7878 in thy preceptsH6490, and have respectH5027 unto thy waysH734.
I will delightH8173 myself in thy statutesH2708: I will not forgetH7911 thy wordH1697.
GIMEL. Deal bountifullyH1580 with thy servantH5650, that I may liveH2421, and keepH8104 thy wordH1697.
OpenH1540 thou mine eyesH5869, that I may beholdH5027 wondrous thingsH6381 out of thy lawH8451. {Open: Heb. Reveal}
I am a strangerH1616 in the earthH776: hideH5641 not thy commandmentsH4687 from me.
My soulH5315 breakethH1638 for the longingH8375 that it hath unto thy judgmentsH4941 at all timesH6256.
Thou hast rebukedH1605 the proudH2086 that are cursedH779, which do errH7686 from thy commandmentsH4687.
RemoveH1556 from me reproachH2781 and contemptH937; for I have keptH5341 thy testimoniesH5713.
PrincesH8269 also did sitH3427 and speakH1696 against me: but thy servantH5650 did meditateH7878 in thy statutesH2706.
Thy testimoniesH5713 also are my delightH8191 and my counsellorsH582+H6098. {my counsellors: Heb. men of my counsel}
DALETH. My soulH5315 cleavethH1692 unto the dustH6083: quickenH2421 thou me according to thy wordH1697.
I have declaredH5608 my waysH1870, and thou heardestH6030 me: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
Make me to understandH995 the wayH1870 of thy preceptsH6490: so shall I talkH7878 of thy wondrous worksH6381.
My soulH5315 meltethH1811 for heavinessH8424: strengthenH6965 thou me according unto thy wordH1697. {melteth: Heb. droppeth}
RemoveH5493 from me the wayH1870 of lyingH8267: and grant me thy lawH8451 graciouslyH2603.
I have chosenH977 the wayH1870 of truthH530: thy judgmentsH4941 have I laidH7737 before me.
I have stuckH1692 unto thy testimoniesH5715: O LORDH3068, put me not to shameH954.
I will runH7323 the wayH1870 of thy commandmentsH4687, when thou shalt enlargeH7337 my heartH3820.
HE. TeachH3384 me, O LORDH3068, the wayH1870 of thy statutesH2706; and I shall keepH5341 it unto the endH6118.
Give me understandingH995, and I shall keepH5341 thy lawH8451; yea, I shall observeH8104 it with my whole heartH3820.
Make me to goH1869 in the pathH5410 of thy commandmentsH4687; for therein do I delightH2654.
InclineH5186 my heartH3820 unto thy testimoniesH5715, and not to covetousnessH1215.
Turn awayH5674 mine eyesH5869 from beholdingH7200 vanityH7723; and quickenH2421 thou me in thy wayH1870. {Turn…: Heb. Make to pass}
StablishH6965 thy wordH565 unto thy servantH5650, who is devoted to thy fearH3374.
Turn awayH5674 my reproachH2781 which I fearH3025: for thy judgmentsH4941 are goodH2896.
Behold, I have longedH8373 after thy preceptsH6490: quickenH2421 me in thy righteousnessH6666.
VAU. Let thy merciesH2617 comeH935 also unto me, O LORDH3068, even thy salvationH8668, according to thy wordH565.
So shall I have wherewithH1697 to answerH6030 him that reproachethH2778 me: for I trustH982 in thy wordH1697. {So…: or, So shall I answer him that reproveth me in a thing}
And takeH5337 not the wordH1697 of truthH571 utterlyH3966 out of my mouthH6310; for I have hopedH3176 in thy judgmentsH4941.
So shall I keepH8104 thy lawH8451 continuallyH8548 for everH5769 and everH5703.
And I will walkH1980 at libertyH7342: for I seekH1875 thy preceptsH6490. {at liberty: Heb. at large}
I will speakH1696 of thy testimoniesH5713 also before kingsH4428, and will not be ashamedH954.
And I will delightH8173 myself in thy commandmentsH4687, which I have lovedH157.
My handsH3709 also will I lift upH5375 unto thy commandmentsH4687, which I have lovedH157; and I will meditateH7878 in thy statutesH2706.
ZAIN. RememberH2142 the wordH1697 unto thy servantH5650, upon which thou hast caused me to hopeH3176.
This is my comfortH5165 in my afflictionH6040: for thy wordH565 hath quickenedH2421 me.
The proudH2086 have had me greatlyH3966 in derisionH3887: yet have I not declinedH5186 from thy lawH8451.
I rememberedH2142 thy judgmentsH4941 of oldH5769, O LORDH3068; and have comfortedH5162 myself.
HorrorH2152 hath taken holdH270 upon me because of the wickedH7563 that forsakeH5800 thy lawH8451.
Thy statutesH2706 have been my songsH2158 in the houseH1004 of my pilgrimageH4033.
I have rememberedH2142 thy nameH8034, O LORDH3068, in the nightH3915, and have keptH8104 thy lawH8451.
This I had, because I keptH5341 thy preceptsH6490.
CHETH. Thou art my portionH2506, O LORDH3068: I have saidH559 that I would keepH8104 thy wordsH1697.
I intreatedH2470 thy favourH6440 with my whole heartH3820: be mercifulH2603 unto me according to thy wordH565. {favour: Heb. face}
I thoughtH2803 on my waysH1870, and turnedH7725 my feetH7272 unto thy testimoniesH5713.
I made hasteH2363, and delayedH4102 not to keepH8104 thy commandmentsH4687.
The bandsH2256 of the wickedH7563 have robbedH5749 me: but I have not forgottenH7911 thy lawH8451. {bands: or, companies}
At midnightH2676+H3915 I will riseH6965 to give thanksH3034 unto thee because of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
I am a companionH2270 of all them that fearH3372 thee, and of them that keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490.
The earthH776, O LORDH3068, is fullH4390 of thy mercyH2617: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
TETH. Thou hast dealtH6213 wellH2896 with thy servantH5650, O LORDH3068, according unto thy wordH1697.
TeachH3925 me goodH2898 judgmentH2940 and knowledgeH1847: for I have believedH539 thy commandmentsH4687.
Before I was afflictedH6031 I went astrayH7683: but now have I keptH8104 thy wordH565.
Thou art goodH2896, and doest goodH2895; teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
The proudH2086 have forgedH2950 a lieH8267 against me: but I will keepH5341 thy preceptsH6490 with my whole heartH3820.
Their heartH3820 is as fatH2954 as greaseH2459; but I delightH8173 in thy lawH8451.
It is goodH2896 for me that I have been afflictedH6031; that I might learnH3925 thy statutesH2706.
The lawH8451 of thy mouthH6310 is betterH2896 unto me than thousandsH505 of goldH2091 and silverH3701.
JOD. Thy handsH3027 have madeH6213 me and fashionedH3559 me: give me understandingH995, that I may learnH3925 thy commandmentsH4687.
They that fearH3373 thee will be gladH8055 when they seeH7200 me; because I have hopedH3176 in thy wordH1697.
I knowH3045, O LORDH3068, that thy judgmentsH4941 are rightH6664, and that thou in faithfulnessH530 hast afflictedH6031 me. {right: Heb. righteousness}
Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindnessH2617 be for my comfortH5162, according to thy wordH565 unto thy servantH5650. {for…: Heb. to comfort me}
Let thy tender merciesH7356 comeH935 unto me, that I may liveH2421: for thy lawH8451 is my delightH8191.
Let the proudH2086 be ashamedH954; for they dealt perverselyH5791 with me without a causeH8267: but I will meditateH7878 in thy preceptsH6490.
Let those that fearH3373 thee turnH7725 unto me, and those that have knownH3045+H3045 thy testimoniesH5713.
Let my heartH3820 be soundH8549 in thy statutesH2706; that I be not ashamedH954.
CAPH. My soulH5315 faintethH3615 for thy salvationH8668: but I hopeH3176 in thy wordH1697.
Mine eyesH5869 failH3615 for thy wordH565, sayingH559, When wilt thou comfortH5162 me?
For I am become like a bottleH4997 in the smokeH7008; yet do I not forgetH7911 thy statutesH2706.
How many are the daysH3117 of thy servantH5650? when wilt thou executeH6213 judgmentH4941 on them that persecuteH7291 me?
The proudH2086 have diggedH3738 pitsH7882 for me, which are not after thy lawH8451.
All thy commandmentsH4687 are faithfulH530: they persecuteH7291 me wrongfullyH8267; helpH5826 thou me. {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}
They had almostH4592 consumedH3615 me upon earthH776; but I forsookH5800 not thy preceptsH6490.
QuickenH2421 me after thy lovingkindnessH2617; so shall I keepH8104 the testimonyH5715 of thy mouthH6310.
LAMED. For everH5769, O LORDH3068, thy wordH1697 is settledH5324 in heavenH8064.
Thy faithfulnessH530 is unto allH1755 generationsH1755: thou hast establishedH3559 the earthH776, and it abidethH5975. {unto…: Heb. to generation and generation} {abideth: Heb. standeth}
They continueH5975 this dayH3117 according to thine ordinancesH4941: for all are thy servantsH5650.
UnlessH3884 thy lawH8451 had been my delightsH8191, I should then have perishedH6 in mine afflictionH6040.
I will neverH5769 forgetH7911 thy preceptsH6490: for with them thou hast quickenedH2421 me.
I am thine, saveH3467 me; for I have soughtH1875 thy preceptsH6490.
The wickedH7563 have waitedH6960 for me to destroyH6 me: but I will considerH995 thy testimoniesH5713.
I have seenH7200 an endH7093 of all perfectionH8502: but thy commandmentH4687 is exceedingH3966 broadH7342.
MEM. O how love IH157 thy lawH8451! it is my meditationH7881 all the dayH3117.
Thou through thy commandmentsH4687 hast made me wiserH2449 than mine enemiesH341: for they are everH5769 with me. {they…: Heb. it is ever with me}
I have more understandingH7919 than all my teachersH3925: for thy testimoniesH5715 are my meditationH7881.
I understandH995 more than the ancientsH2205, because I keepH5341 thy preceptsH6490.
I have refrainedH3607 my feetH7272 from every evilH7451 wayH734, that I might keepH8104 thy wordH1697.
I have not departedH5493 from thy judgmentsH4941: for thou hast taughtH3384 me.
How sweetH4452 are thy wordsH565 unto my tasteH2441! yea, sweeter than honeyH1706 to my mouthH6310! {taste: Heb. palate}
Through thy preceptsH6490 I get understandingH995: therefore I hateH8130 every falseH8267 wayH734.
NUN. Thy wordH1697 is a lampH5216 unto my feetH7272, and a lightH216 unto my pathH5410. {lamp: or, candle}
I have swornH7650, and I will performH6965 it, that I will keepH8104 thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
I am afflictedH6031 very muchH3966: quickenH2421 me, O LORDH3068, according unto thy wordH1697.
AcceptH7521, I beseech thee, the freewill offeringsH5071 of my mouthH6310, O LORDH3068, and teachH3925 me thy judgmentsH4941.
My soulH5315 is continuallyH8548 in my handH3709: yet do I not forgetH7911 thy lawH8451.
The wickedH7563 have laidH5414 a snareH6341 for me: yet I erredH8582 not from thy preceptsH6490.
Thy testimoniesH5715 have I taken as an heritageH5157 for everH5769: for they are the rejoicingH8342 of my heartH3820.
I have inclinedH5186 mine heartH3820 to performH6213 thy statutesH2706 alwayH5769, even unto the endH6118. {to perform: Heb. to do}
SAMECH. I hateH8130 vain thoughtsH5588: but thy lawH8451 do I loveH157.
Thou art my hiding placeH5643 and my shieldH4043: I hopeH3176 in thy wordH1697.
DepartH5493 from me, ye evildoersH7489: for I will keepH5341 the commandmentsH4687 of my GodH430.
UpholdH5564 me according unto thy wordH565, that I may liveH2421: and let me not be ashamedH954 of my hopeH7664.
Hold thou me upH5582, and I shall be safeH3467: and I will have respectH8159 unto thy statutesH2706 continuallyH8548.
Thou hast trodden downH5541 all them that errH7686 from thy statutesH2706: for their deceitH8649 is falsehoodH8267.
Thou puttest awayH7673 all the wickedH7563 of the earthH776 like drossH5509: therefore I loveH157 thy testimoniesH5713. {puttest…: Heb. causest to cease}
My fleshH1320 tremblethH5568 for fearH6343 of thee; and I am afraidH3372 of thy judgmentsH4941.
AIN. I have doneH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6664: leaveH3240 me not to mine oppressorsH6231.
Be suretyH6148 for thy servantH5650 for goodH2896: let not the proudH2086 oppressH6231 me.
Mine eyesH5869 failH3615 for thy salvationH3444, and for the wordH565 of thy righteousnessH6664.
DealH6213 with thy servantH5650 according unto thy mercyH2617, and teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
I am thy servantH5650; give me understandingH995, that I may knowH3045 thy testimoniesH5713.
It is timeH6256 for thee, LORDH3068, to workH6213: for they have made voidH6565 thy lawH8451.
Therefore I loveH157 thy commandmentsH4687 above goldH2091; yea, above fine goldH6337.
Therefore I esteem all thy preceptsH6490 concerning all things to be rightH3474; and I hateH8130 every falseH8267 wayH734.
PE. Thy testimoniesH5715 are wonderfulH6382: therefore doth my soulH5315 keepH5341 them.
The entranceH6608 of thy wordsH1697 giveth lightH215; it giveth understandingH995 unto the simpleH6612.
I openedH6473 my mouthH6310, and pantedH7602: for I longedH2968 for thy commandmentsH4687.
LookH6437 thou upon me, and be mercifulH2603 unto me, as thou usestH4941 to do unto those that loveH157 thy nameH8034. {as thou…: Heb. according to the custom toward those, etc}
OrderH3559 my stepsH6471 in thy wordH565: and let not any iniquityH205 have dominionH7980 over me.
DeliverH6299 me from the oppressionH6233 of manH120: so will I keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490.
Make thy faceH6440 to shineH215 upon thy servantH5650; and teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
RiversH6388 of watersH4325 run downH3381 mine eyesH5869, because they keepH8104 not thy lawH8451.
TZADDI. RighteousH6662 art thou, O LORDH3068, and uprightH3477 are thy judgmentsH4941.
Thy testimoniesH5713 that thou hast commandedH6680 are righteousH6664 and veryH3966 faithfulH530. {righteous: Heb. righteousness} {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}
My zealH7068 hath consumedH6789 me, because mine enemiesH6862 have forgottenH7911 thy wordsH1697. {consumed…: Heb. cut me off}
Thy wordH565 is veryH3966 pureH6884: therefore thy servantH5650 lovethH157 it. {pure: Heb. tried, or, refined}
I am smallH6810 and despisedH959: yet do not I forgetH7911 thy preceptsH6490.
Thy righteousnessH6666 is an everlastingH5769 righteousnessH6664, and thy lawH8451 is the truthH571.
TroubleH6862 and anguishH4689 have taken holdH4672 on me: yet thy commandmentsH4687 are my delightsH8191. {taken…: Heb. found me}
The righteousnessH6664 of thy testimoniesH5715 is everlastingH5769: give me understandingH995, and I shall liveH2421.
KOPH. I criedH7121 with my whole heartH3820; hearH6030 me, O LORDH3068: I will keepH5341 thy statutesH2706.
I criedH7121 unto thee; saveH3467 me, and I shall keepH8104 thy testimoniesH5713. {and I…: or, that I may keep}
I preventedH6923 the dawning of the morningH5399, and criedH7768: I hopedH3176 in thy wordH1697.
Mine eyesH5869 preventH6923 the night watchesH821, that I might meditateH7878 in thy wordH565.
HearH8085 my voiceH6963 according unto thy lovingkindnessH2617: O LORDH3068, quickenH2421 me according to thy judgmentH4941.
They draw nighH7126 that followH7291 after mischiefH2154: they are farH7368 from thy lawH8451.
Thou art nearH7138, O LORDH3068; and all thy commandmentsH4687 are truthH571.
Concerning thy testimoniesH5713, I have knownH3045 of oldH6924 that thou hast foundedH3245 them for everH5769.
RESH. ConsiderH7200 mine afflictionH6040, and deliverH2502 me: for I do not forgetH7911 thy lawH8451.
PleadH7378 my causeH7379, and deliverH1350 me: quickenH2421 me according to thy wordH565.
SalvationH3444 is farH7350 from the wickedH7563: for they seekH1875 not thy statutesH2706.
GreatH7227 are thy tender merciesH7356, O LORDH3068: quickenH2421 me according to thy judgmentsH4941. {Great: or, Many}
ManyH7227 are my persecutorsH7291 and mine enemiesH6862; yet do I not declineH5186 from thy testimoniesH5715.
I beheldH7200 the transgressorsH898, and was grievedH6962; because they keptH8104 not thy wordH565.
ConsiderH7200 how I loveH157 thy preceptsH6490: quickenH2421 me, O LORDH3068, according to thy lovingkindnessH2617.
Thy wordH1697 is trueH571 from the beginningH7218: and every one of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941 endureth for everH5769. {Thy word…: Heb. The beginning of thy word is true}
SCHIN. PrincesH8269 have persecutedH7291 me without a causeH2600: but my heartH3820 standeth in aweH6342 of thy wordH1697.
I rejoiceH7797 at thy wordH565, as one that findethH4672 greatH7227 spoilH7998.
I hateH8130 and abhorH8581 lyingH8267: but thy lawH8451 do I loveH157.
Seven timesH7651 a dayH3117 do I praiseH1984 thee because of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
GreatH7227 peaceH7965 have they which loveH157 thy lawH8451: and nothing shall offendH4383 them. {nothing…: Heb. they shall have no stumblingblock}
LORDH3068, I have hopedH7663 for thy salvationH3444, and doneH6213 thy commandmentsH4687.
My soulH5315 hath keptH8104 thy testimoniesH5713; and I loveH157 them exceedinglyH3966.
I have keptH8104 thy preceptsH6490 and thy testimoniesH5713: for all my waysH1870 are before thee.
TAU. Let my cryH7440 come nearH7126 beforeH6440 thee, O LORDH3068: give me understandingH995 according to thy wordH1697.
Let my supplicationH8467 comeH935 beforeH6440 thee: deliverH5337 me according to thy wordH565.
My lipsH8193 shall utterH5042 praiseH8416, when thou hast taughtH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
My tongueH3956 shall speakH6030 of thy wordH565: for all thy commandmentsH4687 are righteousnessH6664.
Let thine handH3027 helpH5826 me; for I have chosenH977 thy preceptsH6490.
I have longedH8373 for thy salvationH3444, O LORDH3068; and thy lawH8451 is my delightH8191.
Let my soulH5315 liveH2421, and it shall praiseH1984 thee; and let thy judgmentsH4941 helpH5826 me.
I have gone astrayH8582 like a lostH6 sheepH7716; seekH1245 thy servantH5650; for I do not forgetH7911 thy commandmentsH4687.
IG1473 amG1510 AlphaG1 andG2532 OmegaG5598, the beginningG746 andG2532 the endingG5056, saithG3004 the LordG2962, whichG3588 isG5607+G3801, andG2532 whichG3588 wasG2258+G3801, andG2532 whichG3588 is to comeG2064+G3801, the AlmightyG3841.
SayingG3004, IG1473 amG1510 AlphaG1 andG2532 OmegaG5598, the firstG4413 andG2532 the lastG2078: andG2532, WhatG3739 thou seestG991, writeG1125 inG1519 a bookG975, andG2532 sendG3992 it unto the sevenG2033 churchesG1577 whichG3588 are inG1722 AsiaG773; untoG1519 EphesusG2181, andG2532 untoG1519 SmyrnaG4667, andG2532 untoG1519 PergamosG4010, andG2532 untoG1519 ThyatiraG2363, andG2532 untoG1519 SardisG4554, andG2532 untoG1519 PhiladelphiaG5359, andG2532 untoG1519 LaodiceaG2993.
AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto meG3427, It is doneG1096. IG1473 amG1510 AlphaG1 andG2532 OmegaG5598, the beginningG746 andG2532 the endG5056. IG1473 will giveG1325 unto him that is athirstG1372 ofG1537 the fountainG4077 of the waterG5204 of lifeG2222 freelyG1432.
IG1473 amG1510 AlphaG1 andG2532 OmegaG5598, the beginningG746 andG2532 the endG5056, the firstG4413 andG2532 the lastG2078.
GodG2316, who at sundry timesG4181 andG2532 in divers mannersG4187 spakeG2980 in time pastG3819 unto the fathersG3962 byG1722 the prophetsG4396,
BlessedG3107 are the poorG4434 in spiritG4151: forG3754 theirsG846 isG2076 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.
BlessedG3107 are they that mournG3996: forG3754 theyG846 shall be comfortedG3870.
BlessedG3107 are the meekG4239: forG3754 theyG846 shall inheritG2816 the earthG1093.
BlessedG3107 are they whichG3588 do hungerG3983 andG2532 thirstG1372 after righteousnessG1343: forG3754 theyG846 shall be filledG5526.
BlessedG3107 are the mercifulG1655: forG3754 theyG846 shall obtain mercyG1653.
BlessedG3107 are the pureG2513 in heartG2588: forG3754 theyG846 shall seeG3700 GodG2316.
BlessedG3107 are the peacemakersG1518: forG3754 theyG846 shall be calledG2564 the childrenG5207 of GodG2316.
BlessedG3107 are they which are persecutedG1377 forG1752 righteousness' sakeG1343: forG3754 theirsG846 isG2076 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.
BlessedG3107 are yeG2075, whenG3752 men shall revileG3679 youG5209, andG2532 persecuteG1377 you, andG2532 shall sayG2036 all mannerG3956 of evilG4190+G4487 againstG2596 youG5216 falselyG5574, for my sakeG1752+G1700. {falsely: Gr. lying}
RejoiceG5463, andG2532 be exceeding gladG21: forG3754 greatG4183 is yourG5216 rewardG3408 inG1722 heavenG3772: forG1063 soG3779 persecuted theyG1377 the prophetsG4396 whichG3588 were beforeG4253 youG5216.
But this shall be the covenantH1285 that I will makeH3772 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; AfterH310 those daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, I will putH5414 my lawH8451 in their inward partsH7130, and writeH3789 it in their heartsH3820; and will be their GodH430, and they shall be my peopleH5971.
And the LORDH3068 calledH7121 unto MosesH4872, and spakeH1696 unto him out of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, sayingH559,
SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, If any manH120 of you bringH7126 an offeringH7133 unto the LORDH3068, ye shall bringH7126 your offeringH7133 of the cattleH929, even of the herdH1241, and of the flockH6629.
If his offeringH7133 be a burnt sacrificeH5930 of the herdH1241, let him offerH7126 a maleH2145 without blemishH8549: he shall offerH7126 it of his own voluntary willH7522 at the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And he shall putH5564 his handH3027 upon the headH7218 of the burnt offeringH5930; and it shall be acceptedH7521 for him to make atonementH3722 for him.
And he shall killH7819 the bullockH1121+H1241 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: and the priestsH3548, Aaron'sH175 sonsH1121, shall bringH7126 the bloodH1818, and sprinkleH2236 the bloodH1818 round aboutH5439 upon the altarH4196 that is by the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
ForG1063 evenG2532 the SonG5207 of manG444 cameG2064 notG3756 to be ministered untoG1247, butG235 to ministerG1247, andG2532 to giveG1325 hisG846 lifeG5590 a ransomG3083 forG473 manyG4183.
AndG2532 I fellG4098 atG1715 hisG846 feetG4228 to worshipG4352 himG846. AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto meG3427, SeeG3708 thou do it notG3361: I amG1510 thyG4675 fellowservantG4889, andG2532 of thyG4675 brethrenG80 that haveG2192 the testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424: worshipG4352 GodG2316: forG1063 the testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424 isG2076 the spiritG4151 of prophecyG4394.
ALEPH. BlessedH835 are the undefiledH8549 in the wayH1870, who walkH1980 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068. {undefiled: or, perfect, or, sincere}
BlessedH835 are they that keepH5341 his testimoniesH5713, and that seekH1875 him with the whole heartH3820.
They also doH6466 no iniquityH5766: they walkH1980 in his waysH1870.
Thou hast commandedH6680 us to keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490 diligentlyH3966.
O thatH305 my waysH1870 were directedH3559 to keepH8104 thy statutesH2706!
Then shall I not be ashamedH954, when I have respectH5027 unto all thy commandmentsH4687.
I will praiseH3034 thee with uprightnessH3476 of heartH3824, when I shall have learnedH3925 thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941. {thy…: Heb. judgments of thy righteousness}
I will keepH8104 thy statutesH2706: O forsakeH5800 me not utterlyH3966.
BETH. Wherewithal shall a young manH5288 cleanseH2135 his wayH734? by taking heedH8104 thereto according to thy wordH1697.
With my whole heartH3820 have I soughtH1875 thee: O let me not wanderH7686 from thy commandmentsH4687.
Thy wordH565 have I hidH6845 in mine heartH3820, that I might not sinH2398 against thee.
BlessedH1288 art thou, O LORDH3068: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
With my lipsH8193 have I declaredH5608 all the judgmentsH4941 of thy mouthH6310.
I have rejoicedH7797 in the wayH1870 of thy testimoniesH5715, as much as inH5921 all richesH1952.
I will meditateH7878 in thy preceptsH6490, and have respectH5027 unto thy waysH734.
I will delightH8173 myself in thy statutesH2708: I will not forgetH7911 thy wordH1697.
GIMEL. Deal bountifullyH1580 with thy servantH5650, that I may liveH2421, and keepH8104 thy wordH1697.
OpenH1540 thou mine eyesH5869, that I may beholdH5027 wondrous thingsH6381 out of thy lawH8451. {Open: Heb. Reveal}
I am a strangerH1616 in the earthH776: hideH5641 not thy commandmentsH4687 from me.
My soulH5315 breakethH1638 for the longingH8375 that it hath unto thy judgmentsH4941 at all timesH6256.
Thou hast rebukedH1605 the proudH2086 that are cursedH779, which do errH7686 from thy commandmentsH4687.
RemoveH1556 from me reproachH2781 and contemptH937; for I have keptH5341 thy testimoniesH5713.
PrincesH8269 also did sitH3427 and speakH1696 against me: but thy servantH5650 did meditateH7878 in thy statutesH2706.
Thy testimoniesH5713 also are my delightH8191 and my counsellorsH582+H6098. {my counsellors: Heb. men of my counsel}
DALETH. My soulH5315 cleavethH1692 unto the dustH6083: quickenH2421 thou me according to thy wordH1697.
I have declaredH5608 my waysH1870, and thou heardestH6030 me: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
Make me to understandH995 the wayH1870 of thy preceptsH6490: so shall I talkH7878 of thy wondrous worksH6381.
My soulH5315 meltethH1811 for heavinessH8424: strengthenH6965 thou me according unto thy wordH1697. {melteth: Heb. droppeth}
RemoveH5493 from me the wayH1870 of lyingH8267: and grant me thy lawH8451 graciouslyH2603.
I have chosenH977 the wayH1870 of truthH530: thy judgmentsH4941 have I laidH7737 before me.
I have stuckH1692 unto thy testimoniesH5715: O LORDH3068, put me not to shameH954.
I will runH7323 the wayH1870 of thy commandmentsH4687, when thou shalt enlargeH7337 my heartH3820.
HE. TeachH3384 me, O LORDH3068, the wayH1870 of thy statutesH2706; and I shall keepH5341 it unto the endH6118.
Give me understandingH995, and I shall keepH5341 thy lawH8451; yea, I shall observeH8104 it with my whole heartH3820.
Make me to goH1869 in the pathH5410 of thy commandmentsH4687; for therein do I delightH2654.
InclineH5186 my heartH3820 unto thy testimoniesH5715, and not to covetousnessH1215.
Turn awayH5674 mine eyesH5869 from beholdingH7200 vanityH7723; and quickenH2421 thou me in thy wayH1870. {Turn…: Heb. Make to pass}
StablishH6965 thy wordH565 unto thy servantH5650, who is devoted to thy fearH3374.
Turn awayH5674 my reproachH2781 which I fearH3025: for thy judgmentsH4941 are goodH2896.
Behold, I have longedH8373 after thy preceptsH6490: quickenH2421 me in thy righteousnessH6666.
VAU. Let thy merciesH2617 comeH935 also unto me, O LORDH3068, even thy salvationH8668, according to thy wordH565.
So shall I have wherewithH1697 to answerH6030 him that reproachethH2778 me: for I trustH982 in thy wordH1697. {So…: or, So shall I answer him that reproveth me in a thing}
And takeH5337 not the wordH1697 of truthH571 utterlyH3966 out of my mouthH6310; for I have hopedH3176 in thy judgmentsH4941.
So shall I keepH8104 thy lawH8451 continuallyH8548 for everH5769 and everH5703.
And I will walkH1980 at libertyH7342: for I seekH1875 thy preceptsH6490. {at liberty: Heb. at large}
I will speakH1696 of thy testimoniesH5713 also before kingsH4428, and will not be ashamedH954.
And I will delightH8173 myself in thy commandmentsH4687, which I have lovedH157.
My handsH3709 also will I lift upH5375 unto thy commandmentsH4687, which I have lovedH157; and I will meditateH7878 in thy statutesH2706.
ZAIN. RememberH2142 the wordH1697 unto thy servantH5650, upon which thou hast caused me to hopeH3176.
This is my comfortH5165 in my afflictionH6040: for thy wordH565 hath quickenedH2421 me.
The proudH2086 have had me greatlyH3966 in derisionH3887: yet have I not declinedH5186 from thy lawH8451.
I rememberedH2142 thy judgmentsH4941 of oldH5769, O LORDH3068; and have comfortedH5162 myself.
HorrorH2152 hath taken holdH270 upon me because of the wickedH7563 that forsakeH5800 thy lawH8451.
Thy statutesH2706 have been my songsH2158 in the houseH1004 of my pilgrimageH4033.
I have rememberedH2142 thy nameH8034, O LORDH3068, in the nightH3915, and have keptH8104 thy lawH8451.
This I had, because I keptH5341 thy preceptsH6490.
CHETH. Thou art my portionH2506, O LORDH3068: I have saidH559 that I would keepH8104 thy wordsH1697.
I intreatedH2470 thy favourH6440 with my whole heartH3820: be mercifulH2603 unto me according to thy wordH565. {favour: Heb. face}
I thoughtH2803 on my waysH1870, and turnedH7725 my feetH7272 unto thy testimoniesH5713.
I made hasteH2363, and delayedH4102 not to keepH8104 thy commandmentsH4687.
The bandsH2256 of the wickedH7563 have robbedH5749 me: but I have not forgottenH7911 thy lawH8451. {bands: or, companies}
At midnightH2676+H3915 I will riseH6965 to give thanksH3034 unto thee because of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
I am a companionH2270 of all them that fearH3372 thee, and of them that keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490.
The earthH776, O LORDH3068, is fullH4390 of thy mercyH2617: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
TETH. Thou hast dealtH6213 wellH2896 with thy servantH5650, O LORDH3068, according unto thy wordH1697.
TeachH3925 me goodH2898 judgmentH2940 and knowledgeH1847: for I have believedH539 thy commandmentsH4687.
Before I was afflictedH6031 I went astrayH7683: but now have I keptH8104 thy wordH565.
Thou art goodH2896, and doest goodH2895; teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
The proudH2086 have forgedH2950 a lieH8267 against me: but I will keepH5341 thy preceptsH6490 with my whole heartH3820.
Their heartH3820 is as fatH2954 as greaseH2459; but I delightH8173 in thy lawH8451.
It is goodH2896 for me that I have been afflictedH6031; that I might learnH3925 thy statutesH2706.
The lawH8451 of thy mouthH6310 is betterH2896 unto me than thousandsH505 of goldH2091 and silverH3701.
JOD. Thy handsH3027 have madeH6213 me and fashionedH3559 me: give me understandingH995, that I may learnH3925 thy commandmentsH4687.
They that fearH3373 thee will be gladH8055 when they seeH7200 me; because I have hopedH3176 in thy wordH1697.
I knowH3045, O LORDH3068, that thy judgmentsH4941 are rightH6664, and that thou in faithfulnessH530 hast afflictedH6031 me. {right: Heb. righteousness}
Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindnessH2617 be for my comfortH5162, according to thy wordH565 unto thy servantH5650. {for…: Heb. to comfort me}
Let thy tender merciesH7356 comeH935 unto me, that I may liveH2421: for thy lawH8451 is my delightH8191.
Let the proudH2086 be ashamedH954; for they dealt perverselyH5791 with me without a causeH8267: but I will meditateH7878 in thy preceptsH6490.
Let those that fearH3373 thee turnH7725 unto me, and those that have knownH3045+H3045 thy testimoniesH5713.
Let my heartH3820 be soundH8549 in thy statutesH2706; that I be not ashamedH954.
CAPH. My soulH5315 faintethH3615 for thy salvationH8668: but I hopeH3176 in thy wordH1697.
Mine eyesH5869 failH3615 for thy wordH565, sayingH559, When wilt thou comfortH5162 me?
For I am become like a bottleH4997 in the smokeH7008; yet do I not forgetH7911 thy statutesH2706.
How many are the daysH3117 of thy servantH5650? when wilt thou executeH6213 judgmentH4941 on them that persecuteH7291 me?
The proudH2086 have diggedH3738 pitsH7882 for me, which are not after thy lawH8451.
All thy commandmentsH4687 are faithfulH530: they persecuteH7291 me wrongfullyH8267; helpH5826 thou me. {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}
They had almostH4592 consumedH3615 me upon earthH776; but I forsookH5800 not thy preceptsH6490.
QuickenH2421 me after thy lovingkindnessH2617; so shall I keepH8104 the testimonyH5715 of thy mouthH6310.
LAMED. For everH5769, O LORDH3068, thy wordH1697 is settledH5324 in heavenH8064.
Thy faithfulnessH530 is unto allH1755 generationsH1755: thou hast establishedH3559 the earthH776, and it abidethH5975. {unto…: Heb. to generation and generation} {abideth: Heb. standeth}
They continueH5975 this dayH3117 according to thine ordinancesH4941: for all are thy servantsH5650.
UnlessH3884 thy lawH8451 had been my delightsH8191, I should then have perishedH6 in mine afflictionH6040.
I will neverH5769 forgetH7911 thy preceptsH6490: for with them thou hast quickenedH2421 me.
I am thine, saveH3467 me; for I have soughtH1875 thy preceptsH6490.
The wickedH7563 have waitedH6960 for me to destroyH6 me: but I will considerH995 thy testimoniesH5713.
I have seenH7200 an endH7093 of all perfectionH8502: but thy commandmentH4687 is exceedingH3966 broadH7342.
MEM. O how love IH157 thy lawH8451! it is my meditationH7881 all the dayH3117.
Thou through thy commandmentsH4687 hast made me wiserH2449 than mine enemiesH341: for they are everH5769 with me. {they…: Heb. it is ever with me}
I have more understandingH7919 than all my teachersH3925: for thy testimoniesH5715 are my meditationH7881.
I understandH995 more than the ancientsH2205, because I keepH5341 thy preceptsH6490.
I have refrainedH3607 my feetH7272 from every evilH7451 wayH734, that I might keepH8104 thy wordH1697.
I have not departedH5493 from thy judgmentsH4941: for thou hast taughtH3384 me.
How sweetH4452 are thy wordsH565 unto my tasteH2441! yea, sweeter than honeyH1706 to my mouthH6310! {taste: Heb. palate}
Through thy preceptsH6490 I get understandingH995: therefore I hateH8130 every falseH8267 wayH734.
NUN. Thy wordH1697 is a lampH5216 unto my feetH7272, and a lightH216 unto my pathH5410. {lamp: or, candle}
I have swornH7650, and I will performH6965 it, that I will keepH8104 thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
I am afflictedH6031 very muchH3966: quickenH2421 me, O LORDH3068, according unto thy wordH1697.
AcceptH7521, I beseech thee, the freewill offeringsH5071 of my mouthH6310, O LORDH3068, and teachH3925 me thy judgmentsH4941.
My soulH5315 is continuallyH8548 in my handH3709: yet do I not forgetH7911 thy lawH8451.
The wickedH7563 have laidH5414 a snareH6341 for me: yet I erredH8582 not from thy preceptsH6490.
Thy testimoniesH5715 have I taken as an heritageH5157 for everH5769: for they are the rejoicingH8342 of my heartH3820.
I have inclinedH5186 mine heartH3820 to performH6213 thy statutesH2706 alwayH5769, even unto the endH6118. {to perform: Heb. to do}
SAMECH. I hateH8130 vain thoughtsH5588: but thy lawH8451 do I loveH157.
Thou art my hiding placeH5643 and my shieldH4043: I hopeH3176 in thy wordH1697.
DepartH5493 from me, ye evildoersH7489: for I will keepH5341 the commandmentsH4687 of my GodH430.
UpholdH5564 me according unto thy wordH565, that I may liveH2421: and let me not be ashamedH954 of my hopeH7664.
Hold thou me upH5582, and I shall be safeH3467: and I will have respectH8159 unto thy statutesH2706 continuallyH8548.
Thou hast trodden downH5541 all them that errH7686 from thy statutesH2706: for their deceitH8649 is falsehoodH8267.
Thou puttest awayH7673 all the wickedH7563 of the earthH776 like drossH5509: therefore I loveH157 thy testimoniesH5713. {puttest…: Heb. causest to cease}
My fleshH1320 tremblethH5568 for fearH6343 of thee; and I am afraidH3372 of thy judgmentsH4941.
AIN. I have doneH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6664: leaveH3240 me not to mine oppressorsH6231.
Be suretyH6148 for thy servantH5650 for goodH2896: let not the proudH2086 oppressH6231 me.
Mine eyesH5869 failH3615 for thy salvationH3444, and for the wordH565 of thy righteousnessH6664.
DealH6213 with thy servantH5650 according unto thy mercyH2617, and teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
I am thy servantH5650; give me understandingH995, that I may knowH3045 thy testimoniesH5713.
It is timeH6256 for thee, LORDH3068, to workH6213: for they have made voidH6565 thy lawH8451.
Therefore I loveH157 thy commandmentsH4687 above goldH2091; yea, above fine goldH6337.
Therefore I esteem all thy preceptsH6490 concerning all things to be rightH3474; and I hateH8130 every falseH8267 wayH734.
PE. Thy testimoniesH5715 are wonderfulH6382: therefore doth my soulH5315 keepH5341 them.
The entranceH6608 of thy wordsH1697 giveth lightH215; it giveth understandingH995 unto the simpleH6612.
I openedH6473 my mouthH6310, and pantedH7602: for I longedH2968 for thy commandmentsH4687.
LookH6437 thou upon me, and be mercifulH2603 unto me, as thou usestH4941 to do unto those that loveH157 thy nameH8034. {as thou…: Heb. according to the custom toward those, etc}
OrderH3559 my stepsH6471 in thy wordH565: and let not any iniquityH205 have dominionH7980 over me.
DeliverH6299 me from the oppressionH6233 of manH120: so will I keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490.
Make thy faceH6440 to shineH215 upon thy servantH5650; and teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
RiversH6388 of watersH4325 run downH3381 mine eyesH5869, because they keepH8104 not thy lawH8451.
TZADDI. RighteousH6662 art thou, O LORDH3068, and uprightH3477 are thy judgmentsH4941.
Thy testimoniesH5713 that thou hast commandedH6680 are righteousH6664 and veryH3966 faithfulH530. {righteous: Heb. righteousness} {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}
My zealH7068 hath consumedH6789 me, because mine enemiesH6862 have forgottenH7911 thy wordsH1697. {consumed…: Heb. cut me off}
Thy wordH565 is veryH3966 pureH6884: therefore thy servantH5650 lovethH157 it. {pure: Heb. tried, or, refined}
I am smallH6810 and despisedH959: yet do not I forgetH7911 thy preceptsH6490.
Thy righteousnessH6666 is an everlastingH5769 righteousnessH6664, and thy lawH8451 is the truthH571.
TroubleH6862 and anguishH4689 have taken holdH4672 on me: yet thy commandmentsH4687 are my delightsH8191. {taken…: Heb. found me}
The righteousnessH6664 of thy testimoniesH5715 is everlastingH5769: give me understandingH995, and I shall liveH2421.
KOPH. I criedH7121 with my whole heartH3820; hearH6030 me, O LORDH3068: I will keepH5341 thy statutesH2706.
I criedH7121 unto thee; saveH3467 me, and I shall keepH8104 thy testimoniesH5713. {and I…: or, that I may keep}
I preventedH6923 the dawning of the morningH5399, and criedH7768: I hopedH3176 in thy wordH1697.
Mine eyesH5869 preventH6923 the night watchesH821, that I might meditateH7878 in thy wordH565.
HearH8085 my voiceH6963 according unto thy lovingkindnessH2617: O LORDH3068, quickenH2421 me according to thy judgmentH4941.
They draw nighH7126 that followH7291 after mischiefH2154: they are farH7368 from thy lawH8451.
Thou art nearH7138, O LORDH3068; and all thy commandmentsH4687 are truthH571.
Concerning thy testimoniesH5713, I have knownH3045 of oldH6924 that thou hast foundedH3245 them for everH5769.
RESH. ConsiderH7200 mine afflictionH6040, and deliverH2502 me: for I do not forgetH7911 thy lawH8451.
PleadH7378 my causeH7379, and deliverH1350 me: quickenH2421 me according to thy wordH565.
SalvationH3444 is farH7350 from the wickedH7563: for they seekH1875 not thy statutesH2706.
GreatH7227 are thy tender merciesH7356, O LORDH3068: quickenH2421 me according to thy judgmentsH4941. {Great: or, Many}
ManyH7227 are my persecutorsH7291 and mine enemiesH6862; yet do I not declineH5186 from thy testimoniesH5715.
I beheldH7200 the transgressorsH898, and was grievedH6962; because they keptH8104 not thy wordH565.
ConsiderH7200 how I loveH157 thy preceptsH6490: quickenH2421 me, O LORDH3068, according to thy lovingkindnessH2617.
Thy wordH1697 is trueH571 from the beginningH7218: and every one of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941 endureth for everH5769. {Thy word…: Heb. The beginning of thy word is true}
SCHIN. PrincesH8269 have persecutedH7291 me without a causeH2600: but my heartH3820 standeth in aweH6342 of thy wordH1697.
I rejoiceH7797 at thy wordH565, as one that findethH4672 greatH7227 spoilH7998.
I hateH8130 and abhorH8581 lyingH8267: but thy lawH8451 do I loveH157.
Seven timesH7651 a dayH3117 do I praiseH1984 thee because of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
GreatH7227 peaceH7965 have they which loveH157 thy lawH8451: and nothing shall offendH4383 them. {nothing…: Heb. they shall have no stumblingblock}
LORDH3068, I have hopedH7663 for thy salvationH3444, and doneH6213 thy commandmentsH4687.
My soulH5315 hath keptH8104 thy testimoniesH5713; and I loveH157 them exceedinglyH3966.
I have keptH8104 thy preceptsH6490 and thy testimoniesH5713: for all my waysH1870 are before thee.
TAU. Let my cryH7440 come nearH7126 beforeH6440 thee, O LORDH3068: give me understandingH995 according to thy wordH1697.
Let my supplicationH8467 comeH935 beforeH6440 thee: deliverH5337 me according to thy wordH565.
My lipsH8193 shall utterH5042 praiseH8416, when thou hast taughtH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
My tongueH3956 shall speakH6030 of thy wordH565: for all thy commandmentsH4687 are righteousnessH6664.
Let thine handH3027 helpH5826 me; for I have chosenH977 thy preceptsH6490.
I have longedH8373 for thy salvationH3444, O LORDH3068; and thy lawH8451 is my delightH8191.
Let my soulH5315 liveH2421, and it shall praiseH1984 thee; and let thy judgmentsH4941 helpH5826 me.
I have gone astrayH8582 like a lostH6 sheepH7716; seekH1245 thy servantH5650; for I do not forgetH7911 thy commandmentsH4687.
BlessedH835 is the manH376 that walkethH1980 not in the counselH6098 of the ungodlyH7563, nor standethH5975 in the wayH1870 of sinnersH2400, nor sittethH3427 in the seatH4186 of the scornfulH3887. {ungodly: or, wicked}
BlessedH835 is the manH376 that walkethH1980 not in the counselH6098 of the ungodlyH7563, nor standethH5975 in the wayH1870 of sinnersH2400, nor sittethH3427 in the seatH4186 of the scornfulH3887. {ungodly: or, wicked}
But his delightH2656 is in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068; and in his lawH8451 doth he meditateH1897 dayH3119 and nightH3915.
And he shall be like a treeH6086 plantedH8362 by the riversH6388 of waterH4325, that bringeth forthH5414 his fruitH6529 in his seasonH6256; his leafH5929 also shall not witherH5034; and whatsoever he doethH6213 shall prosperH6743. {wither: Heb. fade}
The ungodlyH7563 are not so: but are like the chaffH4671 which the windH7307 driveth awayH5086.
Therefore the ungodlyH7563 shall not standH6965 in the judgmentH4941, nor sinnersH2400 in the congregationH5712 of the righteousH6662.
For the LORDH3068 knowethH3045 the wayH1870 of the righteousH6662: but the wayH1870 of the ungodlyH7563 shall perishH6.
ALEPH. BlessedH835 are the undefiledH8549 in the wayH1870, who walkH1980 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068. {undefiled: or, perfect, or, sincere}
BlessedH835 are they that keepH5341 his testimoniesH5713, and that seekH1875 him with the whole heartH3820.
They also doH6466 no iniquityH5766: they walkH1980 in his waysH1870.
Thou hast commandedH6680 us to keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490 diligentlyH3966.
O thatH305 my waysH1870 were directedH3559 to keepH8104 thy statutesH2706!
Then shall I not be ashamedH954, when I have respectH5027 unto all thy commandmentsH4687.
I will praiseH3034 thee with uprightnessH3476 of heartH3824, when I shall have learnedH3925 thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941. {thy…: Heb. judgments of thy righteousness}
I will keepH8104 thy statutesH2706: O forsakeH5800 me not utterlyH3966.
BETH. Wherewithal shall a young manH5288 cleanseH2135 his wayH734? by taking heedH8104 thereto according to thy wordH1697.
With my whole heartH3820 have I soughtH1875 thee: O let me not wanderH7686 from thy commandmentsH4687.
Thy wordH565 have I hidH6845 in mine heartH3820, that I might not sinH2398 against thee.
BlessedH1288 art thou, O LORDH3068: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
With my lipsH8193 have I declaredH5608 all the judgmentsH4941 of thy mouthH6310.
I have rejoicedH7797 in the wayH1870 of thy testimoniesH5715, as much as inH5921 all richesH1952.
I will meditateH7878 in thy preceptsH6490, and have respectH5027 unto thy waysH734.
I will delightH8173 myself in thy statutesH2708: I will not forgetH7911 thy wordH1697.
GIMEL. Deal bountifullyH1580 with thy servantH5650, that I may liveH2421, and keepH8104 thy wordH1697.
OpenH1540 thou mine eyesH5869, that I may beholdH5027 wondrous thingsH6381 out of thy lawH8451. {Open: Heb. Reveal}
I am a strangerH1616 in the earthH776: hideH5641 not thy commandmentsH4687 from me.
My soulH5315 breakethH1638 for the longingH8375 that it hath unto thy judgmentsH4941 at all timesH6256.
Thou hast rebukedH1605 the proudH2086 that are cursedH779, which do errH7686 from thy commandmentsH4687.
RemoveH1556 from me reproachH2781 and contemptH937; for I have keptH5341 thy testimoniesH5713.
PrincesH8269 also did sitH3427 and speakH1696 against me: but thy servantH5650 did meditateH7878 in thy statutesH2706.
Thy testimoniesH5713 also are my delightH8191 and my counsellorsH582+H6098. {my counsellors: Heb. men of my counsel}
DALETH. My soulH5315 cleavethH1692 unto the dustH6083: quickenH2421 thou me according to thy wordH1697.
I have declaredH5608 my waysH1870, and thou heardestH6030 me: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
Make me to understandH995 the wayH1870 of thy preceptsH6490: so shall I talkH7878 of thy wondrous worksH6381.
My soulH5315 meltethH1811 for heavinessH8424: strengthenH6965 thou me according unto thy wordH1697. {melteth: Heb. droppeth}
RemoveH5493 from me the wayH1870 of lyingH8267: and grant me thy lawH8451 graciouslyH2603.
I have chosenH977 the wayH1870 of truthH530: thy judgmentsH4941 have I laidH7737 before me.
I have stuckH1692 unto thy testimoniesH5715: O LORDH3068, put me not to shameH954.
I will runH7323 the wayH1870 of thy commandmentsH4687, when thou shalt enlargeH7337 my heartH3820.
HE. TeachH3384 me, O LORDH3068, the wayH1870 of thy statutesH2706; and I shall keepH5341 it unto the endH6118.
Give me understandingH995, and I shall keepH5341 thy lawH8451; yea, I shall observeH8104 it with my whole heartH3820.
Make me to goH1869 in the pathH5410 of thy commandmentsH4687; for therein do I delightH2654.
InclineH5186 my heartH3820 unto thy testimoniesH5715, and not to covetousnessH1215.
Turn awayH5674 mine eyesH5869 from beholdingH7200 vanityH7723; and quickenH2421 thou me in thy wayH1870. {Turn…: Heb. Make to pass}
StablishH6965 thy wordH565 unto thy servantH5650, who is devoted to thy fearH3374.
Turn awayH5674 my reproachH2781 which I fearH3025: for thy judgmentsH4941 are goodH2896.
Behold, I have longedH8373 after thy preceptsH6490: quickenH2421 me in thy righteousnessH6666.
VAU. Let thy merciesH2617 comeH935 also unto me, O LORDH3068, even thy salvationH8668, according to thy wordH565.
So shall I have wherewithH1697 to answerH6030 him that reproachethH2778 me: for I trustH982 in thy wordH1697. {So…: or, So shall I answer him that reproveth me in a thing}
And takeH5337 not the wordH1697 of truthH571 utterlyH3966 out of my mouthH6310; for I have hopedH3176 in thy judgmentsH4941.
So shall I keepH8104 thy lawH8451 continuallyH8548 for everH5769 and everH5703.
And I will walkH1980 at libertyH7342: for I seekH1875 thy preceptsH6490. {at liberty: Heb. at large}
I will speakH1696 of thy testimoniesH5713 also before kingsH4428, and will not be ashamedH954.
And I will delightH8173 myself in thy commandmentsH4687, which I have lovedH157.
My handsH3709 also will I lift upH5375 unto thy commandmentsH4687, which I have lovedH157; and I will meditateH7878 in thy statutesH2706.
ZAIN. RememberH2142 the wordH1697 unto thy servantH5650, upon which thou hast caused me to hopeH3176.
This is my comfortH5165 in my afflictionH6040: for thy wordH565 hath quickenedH2421 me.
The proudH2086 have had me greatlyH3966 in derisionH3887: yet have I not declinedH5186 from thy lawH8451.
I rememberedH2142 thy judgmentsH4941 of oldH5769, O LORDH3068; and have comfortedH5162 myself.
HorrorH2152 hath taken holdH270 upon me because of the wickedH7563 that forsakeH5800 thy lawH8451.
Thy statutesH2706 have been my songsH2158 in the houseH1004 of my pilgrimageH4033.
I have rememberedH2142 thy nameH8034, O LORDH3068, in the nightH3915, and have keptH8104 thy lawH8451.
This I had, because I keptH5341 thy preceptsH6490.
CHETH. Thou art my portionH2506, O LORDH3068: I have saidH559 that I would keepH8104 thy wordsH1697.
I intreatedH2470 thy favourH6440 with my whole heartH3820: be mercifulH2603 unto me according to thy wordH565. {favour: Heb. face}
I thoughtH2803 on my waysH1870, and turnedH7725 my feetH7272 unto thy testimoniesH5713.
I made hasteH2363, and delayedH4102 not to keepH8104 thy commandmentsH4687.
The bandsH2256 of the wickedH7563 have robbedH5749 me: but I have not forgottenH7911 thy lawH8451. {bands: or, companies}
At midnightH2676+H3915 I will riseH6965 to give thanksH3034 unto thee because of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
I am a companionH2270 of all them that fearH3372 thee, and of them that keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490.
The earthH776, O LORDH3068, is fullH4390 of thy mercyH2617: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
TETH. Thou hast dealtH6213 wellH2896 with thy servantH5650, O LORDH3068, according unto thy wordH1697.
TeachH3925 me goodH2898 judgmentH2940 and knowledgeH1847: for I have believedH539 thy commandmentsH4687.
Before I was afflictedH6031 I went astrayH7683: but now have I keptH8104 thy wordH565.
Thou art goodH2896, and doest goodH2895; teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
The proudH2086 have forgedH2950 a lieH8267 against me: but I will keepH5341 thy preceptsH6490 with my whole heartH3820.
Their heartH3820 is as fatH2954 as greaseH2459; but I delightH8173 in thy lawH8451.
It is goodH2896 for me that I have been afflictedH6031; that I might learnH3925 thy statutesH2706.
The lawH8451 of thy mouthH6310 is betterH2896 unto me than thousandsH505 of goldH2091 and silverH3701.
JOD. Thy handsH3027 have madeH6213 me and fashionedH3559 me: give me understandingH995, that I may learnH3925 thy commandmentsH4687.
They that fearH3373 thee will be gladH8055 when they seeH7200 me; because I have hopedH3176 in thy wordH1697.
I knowH3045, O LORDH3068, that thy judgmentsH4941 are rightH6664, and that thou in faithfulnessH530 hast afflictedH6031 me. {right: Heb. righteousness}
Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindnessH2617 be for my comfortH5162, according to thy wordH565 unto thy servantH5650. {for…: Heb. to comfort me}
Let thy tender merciesH7356 comeH935 unto me, that I may liveH2421: for thy lawH8451 is my delightH8191.
Let the proudH2086 be ashamedH954; for they dealt perverselyH5791 with me without a causeH8267: but I will meditateH7878 in thy preceptsH6490.
Let those that fearH3373 thee turnH7725 unto me, and those that have knownH3045+H3045 thy testimoniesH5713.
Let my heartH3820 be soundH8549 in thy statutesH2706; that I be not ashamedH954.
CAPH. My soulH5315 faintethH3615 for thy salvationH8668: but I hopeH3176 in thy wordH1697.
Mine eyesH5869 failH3615 for thy wordH565, sayingH559, When wilt thou comfortH5162 me?
For I am become like a bottleH4997 in the smokeH7008; yet do I not forgetH7911 thy statutesH2706.
How many are the daysH3117 of thy servantH5650? when wilt thou executeH6213 judgmentH4941 on them that persecuteH7291 me?
The proudH2086 have diggedH3738 pitsH7882 for me, which are not after thy lawH8451.
All thy commandmentsH4687 are faithfulH530: they persecuteH7291 me wrongfullyH8267; helpH5826 thou me. {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}
They had almostH4592 consumedH3615 me upon earthH776; but I forsookH5800 not thy preceptsH6490.
QuickenH2421 me after thy lovingkindnessH2617; so shall I keepH8104 the testimonyH5715 of thy mouthH6310.
LAMED. For everH5769, O LORDH3068, thy wordH1697 is settledH5324 in heavenH8064.
Thy faithfulnessH530 is unto allH1755 generationsH1755: thou hast establishedH3559 the earthH776, and it abidethH5975. {unto…: Heb. to generation and generation} {abideth: Heb. standeth}
They continueH5975 this dayH3117 according to thine ordinancesH4941: for all are thy servantsH5650.
UnlessH3884 thy lawH8451 had been my delightsH8191, I should then have perishedH6 in mine afflictionH6040.
I will neverH5769 forgetH7911 thy preceptsH6490: for with them thou hast quickenedH2421 me.
I am thine, saveH3467 me; for I have soughtH1875 thy preceptsH6490.
The wickedH7563 have waitedH6960 for me to destroyH6 me: but I will considerH995 thy testimoniesH5713.
I have seenH7200 an endH7093 of all perfectionH8502: but thy commandmentH4687 is exceedingH3966 broadH7342.
MEM. O how love IH157 thy lawH8451! it is my meditationH7881 all the dayH3117.
Thou through thy commandmentsH4687 hast made me wiserH2449 than mine enemiesH341: for they are everH5769 with me. {they…: Heb. it is ever with me}
I have more understandingH7919 than all my teachersH3925: for thy testimoniesH5715 are my meditationH7881.
I understandH995 more than the ancientsH2205, because I keepH5341 thy preceptsH6490.
I have refrainedH3607 my feetH7272 from every evilH7451 wayH734, that I might keepH8104 thy wordH1697.
I have not departedH5493 from thy judgmentsH4941: for thou hast taughtH3384 me.
How sweetH4452 are thy wordsH565 unto my tasteH2441! yea, sweeter than honeyH1706 to my mouthH6310! {taste: Heb. palate}
Through thy preceptsH6490 I get understandingH995: therefore I hateH8130 every falseH8267 wayH734.
NUN. Thy wordH1697 is a lampH5216 unto my feetH7272, and a lightH216 unto my pathH5410. {lamp: or, candle}
I have swornH7650, and I will performH6965 it, that I will keepH8104 thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
I am afflictedH6031 very muchH3966: quickenH2421 me, O LORDH3068, according unto thy wordH1697.
AcceptH7521, I beseech thee, the freewill offeringsH5071 of my mouthH6310, O LORDH3068, and teachH3925 me thy judgmentsH4941.
My soulH5315 is continuallyH8548 in my handH3709: yet do I not forgetH7911 thy lawH8451.
The wickedH7563 have laidH5414 a snareH6341 for me: yet I erredH8582 not from thy preceptsH6490.
Thy testimoniesH5715 have I taken as an heritageH5157 for everH5769: for they are the rejoicingH8342 of my heartH3820.
I have inclinedH5186 mine heartH3820 to performH6213 thy statutesH2706 alwayH5769, even unto the endH6118. {to perform: Heb. to do}
SAMECH. I hateH8130 vain thoughtsH5588: but thy lawH8451 do I loveH157.
Thou art my hiding placeH5643 and my shieldH4043: I hopeH3176 in thy wordH1697.
DepartH5493 from me, ye evildoersH7489: for I will keepH5341 the commandmentsH4687 of my GodH430.
UpholdH5564 me according unto thy wordH565, that I may liveH2421: and let me not be ashamedH954 of my hopeH7664.
Hold thou me upH5582, and I shall be safeH3467: and I will have respectH8159 unto thy statutesH2706 continuallyH8548.
Thou hast trodden downH5541 all them that errH7686 from thy statutesH2706: for their deceitH8649 is falsehoodH8267.
Thou puttest awayH7673 all the wickedH7563 of the earthH776 like drossH5509: therefore I loveH157 thy testimoniesH5713. {puttest…: Heb. causest to cease}
My fleshH1320 tremblethH5568 for fearH6343 of thee; and I am afraidH3372 of thy judgmentsH4941.
AIN. I have doneH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6664: leaveH3240 me not to mine oppressorsH6231.
Be suretyH6148 for thy servantH5650 for goodH2896: let not the proudH2086 oppressH6231 me.
Mine eyesH5869 failH3615 for thy salvationH3444, and for the wordH565 of thy righteousnessH6664.
DealH6213 with thy servantH5650 according unto thy mercyH2617, and teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
I am thy servantH5650; give me understandingH995, that I may knowH3045 thy testimoniesH5713.
It is timeH6256 for thee, LORDH3068, to workH6213: for they have made voidH6565 thy lawH8451.
Therefore I loveH157 thy commandmentsH4687 above goldH2091; yea, above fine goldH6337.
Therefore I esteem all thy preceptsH6490 concerning all things to be rightH3474; and I hateH8130 every falseH8267 wayH734.
PE. Thy testimoniesH5715 are wonderfulH6382: therefore doth my soulH5315 keepH5341 them.
The entranceH6608 of thy wordsH1697 giveth lightH215; it giveth understandingH995 unto the simpleH6612.
I openedH6473 my mouthH6310, and pantedH7602: for I longedH2968 for thy commandmentsH4687.
LookH6437 thou upon me, and be mercifulH2603 unto me, as thou usestH4941 to do unto those that loveH157 thy nameH8034. {as thou…: Heb. according to the custom toward those, etc}
OrderH3559 my stepsH6471 in thy wordH565: and let not any iniquityH205 have dominionH7980 over me.
DeliverH6299 me from the oppressionH6233 of manH120: so will I keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490.
Make thy faceH6440 to shineH215 upon thy servantH5650; and teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
RiversH6388 of watersH4325 run downH3381 mine eyesH5869, because they keepH8104 not thy lawH8451.
TZADDI. RighteousH6662 art thou, O LORDH3068, and uprightH3477 are thy judgmentsH4941.
Thy testimoniesH5713 that thou hast commandedH6680 are righteousH6664 and veryH3966 faithfulH530. {righteous: Heb. righteousness} {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}
My zealH7068 hath consumedH6789 me, because mine enemiesH6862 have forgottenH7911 thy wordsH1697. {consumed…: Heb. cut me off}
Thy wordH565 is veryH3966 pureH6884: therefore thy servantH5650 lovethH157 it. {pure: Heb. tried, or, refined}
I am smallH6810 and despisedH959: yet do not I forgetH7911 thy preceptsH6490.
Thy righteousnessH6666 is an everlastingH5769 righteousnessH6664, and thy lawH8451 is the truthH571.
TroubleH6862 and anguishH4689 have taken holdH4672 on me: yet thy commandmentsH4687 are my delightsH8191. {taken…: Heb. found me}
The righteousnessH6664 of thy testimoniesH5715 is everlastingH5769: give me understandingH995, and I shall liveH2421.
KOPH. I criedH7121 with my whole heartH3820; hearH6030 me, O LORDH3068: I will keepH5341 thy statutesH2706.
I criedH7121 unto thee; saveH3467 me, and I shall keepH8104 thy testimoniesH5713. {and I…: or, that I may keep}
I preventedH6923 the dawning of the morningH5399, and criedH7768: I hopedH3176 in thy wordH1697.
Mine eyesH5869 preventH6923 the night watchesH821, that I might meditateH7878 in thy wordH565.
HearH8085 my voiceH6963 according unto thy lovingkindnessH2617: O LORDH3068, quickenH2421 me according to thy judgmentH4941.
They draw nighH7126 that followH7291 after mischiefH2154: they are farH7368 from thy lawH8451.
Thou art nearH7138, O LORDH3068; and all thy commandmentsH4687 are truthH571.
Concerning thy testimoniesH5713, I have knownH3045 of oldH6924 that thou hast foundedH3245 them for everH5769.
RESH. ConsiderH7200 mine afflictionH6040, and deliverH2502 me: for I do not forgetH7911 thy lawH8451.
PleadH7378 my causeH7379, and deliverH1350 me: quickenH2421 me according to thy wordH565.
SalvationH3444 is farH7350 from the wickedH7563: for they seekH1875 not thy statutesH2706.
GreatH7227 are thy tender merciesH7356, O LORDH3068: quickenH2421 me according to thy judgmentsH4941. {Great: or, Many}
ManyH7227 are my persecutorsH7291 and mine enemiesH6862; yet do I not declineH5186 from thy testimoniesH5715.
I beheldH7200 the transgressorsH898, and was grievedH6962; because they keptH8104 not thy wordH565.
ConsiderH7200 how I loveH157 thy preceptsH6490: quickenH2421 me, O LORDH3068, according to thy lovingkindnessH2617.
Thy wordH1697 is trueH571 from the beginningH7218: and every one of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941 endureth for everH5769. {Thy word…: Heb. The beginning of thy word is true}
SCHIN. PrincesH8269 have persecutedH7291 me without a causeH2600: but my heartH3820 standeth in aweH6342 of thy wordH1697.
I rejoiceH7797 at thy wordH565, as one that findethH4672 greatH7227 spoilH7998.
I hateH8130 and abhorH8581 lyingH8267: but thy lawH8451 do I loveH157.
Seven timesH7651 a dayH3117 do I praiseH1984 thee because of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
GreatH7227 peaceH7965 have they which loveH157 thy lawH8451: and nothing shall offendH4383 them. {nothing…: Heb. they shall have no stumblingblock}
LORDH3068, I have hopedH7663 for thy salvationH3444, and doneH6213 thy commandmentsH4687.
My soulH5315 hath keptH8104 thy testimoniesH5713; and I loveH157 them exceedinglyH3966.
I have keptH8104 thy preceptsH6490 and thy testimoniesH5713: for all my waysH1870 are before thee.
TAU. Let my cryH7440 come nearH7126 beforeH6440 thee, O LORDH3068: give me understandingH995 according to thy wordH1697.
Let my supplicationH8467 comeH935 beforeH6440 thee: deliverH5337 me according to thy wordH565.
My lipsH8193 shall utterH5042 praiseH8416, when thou hast taughtH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
My tongueH3956 shall speakH6030 of thy wordH565: for all thy commandmentsH4687 are righteousnessH6664.
Let thine handH3027 helpH5826 me; for I have chosenH977 thy preceptsH6490.
I have longedH8373 for thy salvationH3444, O LORDH3068; and thy lawH8451 is my delightH8191.
Let my soulH5315 liveH2421, and it shall praiseH1984 thee; and let thy judgmentsH4941 helpH5826 me.
I have gone astrayH8582 like a lostH6 sheepH7716; seekH1245 thy servantH5650; for I do not forgetH7911 thy commandmentsH4687.
But this shall be the covenantH1285 that I will makeH3772 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; AfterH310 those daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, I will putH5414 my lawH8451 in their inward partsH7130, and writeH3789 it in their heartsH3820; and will be their GodH430, and they shall be my peopleH5971.
Also, thou sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 unto the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559, Ye mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068:
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because the enemyH341 hath saidH559 against you, AhaH1889, even the ancientH5769 high placesH1116 are ours in possessionH4181:
Therefore prophesyH5012 and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because they have made you desolateH8074, and swallowed you upH7602 on every sideH5439, that ye might be a possessionH4181 unto the residueH7611 of the heathenH1471, and ye are taken upH5927 in the lipsH8193 of talkersH3956, and are an infamyH1681 of the peopleH5971: {Because: Heb. Because for because} {are…: or, ye are made to come up on the lip of the tongue}
Therefore, ye mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH136 GODH3069; Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 to the mountainsH2022, and to the hillsH1389, to the riversH650, and to the valleysH1516, to the desolateH8074 wastesH2723, and to the citiesH5892 that are forsakenH5800, which became a preyH957 and derisionH3933 to the residueH7611 of the heathenH1471 that are round aboutH5439; {rivers: or, bottoms, or, dales}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Surely in the fireH784 of my jealousyH7068 have I spokenH1696 against the residueH7611 of the heathenH1471, and against all IdumeaH123, which have appointedH5414 my landH776 into their possessionH4181 with the joyH8057 of all their heartH3824, with despitefulH7589 mindsH5315, to cast it outH4054 for a preyH957.
ProphesyH5012 therefore concerning the landH127 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto the mountainsH2022, and to the hillsH1389, to the riversH650, and to the valleysH1516, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I have spokenH1696 in my jealousyH7068 and in my furyH2534, because ye have borneH5375 the shameH3639 of the heathenH1471:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I have lifted upH5375 mine handH3027, Surely the heathenH1471 that are aboutH5439 you, they shall bearH5375 their shameH3639.
But ye, O mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, ye shall shoot forthH5414 your branchesH6057, and yieldH5375 your fruitH6529 to my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478; for they are at handH7126 to comeH935.
For, behold, I am for you, and I will turnH6437 unto you, and ye shall be tilledH5647 and sownH2232:
And I will multiplyH7235 menH120 upon you, all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, even all of it: and the citiesH5892 shall be inhabitedH3427, and the wastesH2723 shall be buildedH1129:
And I will multiplyH7235 upon you manH120 and beastH929; and they shall increaseH7235 and bring fruitH6509: and I will settleH3427 you after your old estatesH6927, and will do betterH2895 unto you than at your beginningsH7221: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Yea, I will cause menH120 to walkH3212 upon you, even my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and they shall possessH3423 thee, and thou shalt be their inheritanceH5159, and thou shalt no moreH3254 henceforth bereaveH7921 them of men.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because they sayH559 unto you, Thou land devourest upH398 menH120, and hast bereavedH7921 thy nationsH1471;
Therefore thou shalt devourH398 menH120 no more, neither bereaveH7921+H3782 thy nationsH1471 any more, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {bereave: or, cause to fall}
Neither will I cause men to hearH8085 in thee the shameH3639 of the heathenH1471 any more, neither shalt thou bearH5375 the reproachH2781 of the peopleH5971 any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nationsH1471 to fallH3782 any more, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, when the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in their own landH127, they defiledH2930 it by their own wayH1870 and by their doingsH5949: their wayH1870 was beforeH6440 me as the uncleannessH2932 of a removed womanH5079.
Wherefore I pouredH8210 my furyH2534 upon them for the bloodH1818 that they had shedH8210 upon the landH776, and for their idolsH1544 wherewith they had pollutedH2930 it:
And I scatteredH6327 them among the heathenH1471, and they were dispersedH2219 through the countriesH776: according to their wayH1870 and according to their doingsH5949 I judgedH8199 them.
And when they enteredH935 unto the heathenH1471, whither they wentH935, they profanedH2490 my holyH6944 nameH8034, when they saidH559 to them, These are the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068, and are gone forthH3318 out of his landH776.
But I had pityH2550 for mine holyH6944 nameH8034, which the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 had profanedH2490 among the heathenH1471, whither they wentH935.
Therefore sayH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I doH6213 not this for your sakes, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, but for mine holyH6944 name'sH8034 sake, which ye have profanedH2490 among the heathenH1471, whither ye wentH935.
And I will sanctifyH6942 my greatH1419 nameH8034, which was profanedH2490 among the heathenH1471, which ye have profanedH2490 in the midstH8432 of them; and the heathenH1471 shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, when I shall be sanctifiedH6942 in you before their eyesH5869. {their: or, your}
For I will takeH3947 you from amongH4480 the heathenH1471, and gatherH6908 you out of all countriesH776, and will bringH935 you into your own landH127.
Then will I sprinkleH2236 cleanH2889 waterH4325 upon you, and ye shall be cleanH2891: from all your filthinessH2932, and from all your idolsH1544, will I cleanseH2891 you.
A newH2319 heartH3820 also will I giveH5414 you, and a newH2319 spiritH7307 will I putH5414 withinH7130 you: and I will take awayH5493 the stonyH68 heartH3820 out of your fleshH1320, and I will giveH5414 you an heartH3820 of fleshH1320.
And I will putH5414 my spiritH7307 withinH7130 you, and causeH6213 you to walkH3212 in my statutesH2706, and ye shall keepH8104 my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them.
And ye shall dwellH3427 in the landH776 that I gaveH5414 to your fathersH1; and ye shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be your GodH430.
I will also saveH3467 you from all your uncleannessesH2932: and I will callH7121 for the cornH1715, and will increaseH7235 it, and layH5414 no famineH7458 upon you.
And I will multiplyH7235 the fruitH6529 of the treeH6086, and the increaseH8570 of the fieldH7704, that ye shall receiveH3947 no more reproachH2781 of famineH7458 among the heathenH1471.
Then shall ye rememberH2142 your own evilH7451 waysH1870, and your doingsH4611 that were not goodH2896, and shall lotheH6962 yourselves in your own sightH6440 for your iniquitiesH5771 and for your abominationsH8441.
Not for your sakes doH6213 I this, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, be it knownH3045 unto you: be ashamedH954 and confoundedH3637 for your own waysH1870, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; In the dayH3117 that I shall have cleansedH2891 you from all your iniquitiesH5771 I will also cause you to dwellH3427 in the citiesH5892, and the wastesH2723 shall be buildedH1129.
And the desolateH8074 landH776 shall be tilledH5647, whereas it lay desolateH8077 in the sightH5869 of all that passed byH5674.
And they shall sayH559, ThisH1977 landH776 that was desolateH8074 is become like the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731; and the wasteH2720 and desolateH8074 and ruinedH2040 citiesH5892 are become fencedH1219, and are inhabitedH3427.
Then the heathenH1471 that are leftH7604 round aboutH5439 you shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 buildH1129 the ruinedH2040 places, and plantH5193 that that was desolateH8074: I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it, and I will doH6213 it.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will yet for this be enquiredH1875 of by the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, to doH6213 it for them; I will increaseH7235 them with menH120 like a flockH6629.
As the holyH6944 flockH6629, as the flockH6629 of JerusalemH3389 in her solemn feastsH4150; so shall the wasteH2720 citiesH5892 be filledH4392 with flocksH6629 of menH120: and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {holy…: Heb. flock of holy things}
And it came to pass in the eleventhH6249+H6240 yearH8141, in the firstH259 day of the monthH2320, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, because that TyrusH6865 hath saidH559 against JerusalemH3389, AhaH1889, she is brokenH7665 that was the gatesH1817 of the peopleH5971: she is turnedH5437 unto me: I shall be replenishedH4390, now she is laid wasteH2717:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I am against thee, O TyrusH6865, and will cause manyH7227 nationsH1471 to come upH5927 against thee, as the seaH3220 causeth his wavesH1530 to come upH5927.
And they shall destroyH7843 the wallsH2346 of TyrusH6865, and break downH2040 her towersH4026: I will also scrapeH5500 her dustH6083 from her, and makeH5414 her like the topH6706 of a rockH5553.
It shall be a place for the spreadingH4894 of netsH2764 in the midstH8432 of the seaH3220: for I have spokenH1696 it, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069: and it shall become a spoilH957 to the nationsH1471.
And her daughtersH1323 which are in the fieldH7704 shall be slainH2026 by the swordH2719; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will bringH935 upon TyrusH6865 NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, a kingH4428 of kingsH4428, from the northH6828, with horsesH5483, and with chariotsH7393, and with horsemenH6571, and companiesH6951, and muchH7227 peopleH5971.
He shall slayH2026 with the swordH2719 thy daughtersH1323 in the fieldH7704: and he shall makeH5414 a fortH1785 against thee, and castH8210 a mountH5550 against thee, and lift upH6965 the bucklerH6793 against thee. {cast…: or, pour out the engine of shot}
And he shall setH5414 enginesH4239 of warH6904 against thy wallsH2346, and with his axesH2719 he shall break downH5422 thy towersH4026.
By reason of the abundanceH8229 of his horsesH5483 their dustH80 shall coverH3680 thee: thy wallsH2346 shall shakeH7493 at the noiseH6963 of the horsemenH6571, and of the wheelsH1534, and of the chariotsH7393, when he shall enterH935 into thy gatesH8179, as men enterH3996 into a cityH5892 wherein is made a breachH1234. {as men…: Heb. according to the enterings of a city broken up}
With the hoofsH6541 of his horsesH5483 shall he tread downH7429 all thy streetsH2351: he shall slayH2026 thy peopleH5971 by the swordH2719, and thy strongH5797 garrisonsH4676 shall go downH3381 to the groundH776.
And they shall make a spoilH7997 of thy richesH2428, and make a preyH962 of thy merchandiseH7404: and they shall break downH2040 thy wallsH2346, and destroyH5422 thy pleasantH2532 housesH1004: and they shall layH7760 thy stonesH68 and thy timberH6086 and thy dustH6083 in the midstH8432 of the waterH4325. {thy pleasant…: Heb. houses of thy desire}
And I will cause the noiseH1995 of thy songsH7892 to ceaseH7673; and the soundH6963 of thy harpsH3658 shall be no more heardH8085.
And I will makeH5414 thee like the topH6706 of a rockH5553: thou shalt be a place to spreadH4894 netsH2764 uponH4894; thou shalt be builtH1129 no more: for I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 to TyrusH6865; Shall not the islesH339 shakeH7493 at the soundH6963 of thy fallH4658, when the woundedH2491 cryH602, when the slaughterH2027 is madeH2026 in the midstH8432 of thee?
Then all the princesH5387 of the seaH3220 shall come downH3381 from their thronesH3678, and lay awayH5493 their robesH4598, and put offH6584 their broideredH7553 garmentsH899: they shall clotheH3847 themselves with tremblingH2731; they shall sitH3427 upon the groundH776, and shall trembleH2729 at every momentH7281, and be astonishedH8074 at thee. {trembling: Heb. tremblings}
And they shall take upH5375 a lamentationH7015 for thee, and sayH559 to thee, How art thou destroyedH6, that wast inhabitedH3427 of seafaring menH3220, the renownedH1984 cityH5892, which wast strongH2389 in the seaH3220, she and her inhabitantsH3427, which causeH5414 their terrorH2851 to be on all that hauntH3427 it! {of…: Heb. of the seas}
Now shall the islesH339 trembleH2729 in the dayH3117 of thy fallH4658; yea, the islesH339 that are in the seaH3220 shall be troubledH926 at thy departureH3318.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; When I shall makeH5414 thee a desolateH2717 cityH5892, like the citiesH5892 that are not inhabitedH3427; when I shall bring upH5927 the deepH8415 upon thee, and greatH7227 watersH4325 shall coverH3680 thee;
When I shall bring thee downH3381 with them that descendH3381 into the pitH953, with the peopleH5971 of old timeH5769, and shall setH3427 thee in the low partsH8482 of the earthH776, in places desolateH2723 of oldH5769, with them that go downH3381 to the pitH953, that thou be not inhabitedH3427; and I shall setH5414 gloryH6643 in the landH776 of the livingH2416;
I will makeH5414 thee a terrorH1091, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought forH1245, yet shalt thou neverH5769 be foundH4672 again, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {a terror: Heb. terrors}
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came again unto me, sayingH559,
Now, thou sonH1121 of manH120, take upH5375 a lamentationH7015 for TyrusH6865;
And sayH559 unto TyrusH6865, O thou that art situateH3427 at the entryH3997 of the seaH3220, which art a merchantH7402 of the peopleH5971 for manyH7227 islesH339, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; O TyrusH6865, thou hast saidH559, I am of perfectH3632 beautyH3308. {of perfect…: Heb. perfect of beauty}
Thy bordersH1366 are in the midstH3820 of the seasH3220, thy buildersH1129 have perfectedH3634 thy beautyH3308. {midst: Heb. heart}

Of the oaksH437 of BashanH1316 have they madeH6213 thine oarsH4880; the companyH1323 of the AshuritesH839 have madeH6213 thy benchesH7175 of ivoryH8127, brought out of the islesH339 of ChittimH3794. {the company…: or, they have made thy hatches of ivory well trodden} {company: Heb. daughter}
Fine linenH8336 with broidered workH7553 from EgyptH4714 was that which thou spreadest forthH4666 to be thy sailH5251; blueH8504 and purpleH713 from the islesH339 of ElishahH473 was that which coveredH4374 thee. {blue…: or, purple and scarlet}

They of PersiaH6539 and of LudH3865 and of PhutH6316 were in thine armyH2428, thy menH582 of warH4421: they hangedH8518 the shieldH4043 and helmetH3553 in thee; they set forthH5414 thy comelinessH1926.

The shipsH591 of TarshishH8659 did singH7788 of thee in thy marketH4627: and thou wast replenishedH4390, and made veryH3966 gloriousH3513 in the midstH3820 of the seasH3220.
Thy rowersH7751 have broughtH935 thee into greatH7227 watersH4325: the eastH6921 windH7307 hath brokenH7665 thee in the midstH3820 of the seasH3220. {midst: Heb. heart}
Thy richesH1952, and thy fairsH5801, thy merchandiseH4627, thy marinersH4419, and thy pilotsH2259, thy calkersH919+H2388, and the occupiersH6148 of thy merchandiseH4627, and all thy menH582 of warH4421, that are in thee, and in all thy companyH6951 which is in the midstH8432 of thee, shall fallH5307 into the midstH3820 of the seasH3220 in the dayH3117 of thy ruinH4658. {and in…: or, even with all} {midst of the seas: Heb. heart, etc}

And they shall make themselves utterlyH7144 baldH7139 for thee, and girdH2296 them with sackclothH8242, and they shall weepH1058 for thee with bitternessH4751 of heartH5315 and bitterH4751 wailingH4553.
And in their wailingH5204 they shall take upH5375 a lamentationH7015 for thee, and lamentH6969 over thee, saying, What city is like TyrusH6865, like the destroyedH1822 in the midstH8432 of the seaH3220?
When thy waresH5801 went forthH3318 out of the seasH3220, thou filledstH7646 manyH7227 peopleH5971; thou didst enrichH6238 the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 with the multitudeH7230 of thy richesH1952 and of thy merchandiseH4627.
In the timeH6256 when thou shalt be brokenH7665 by the seasH3220 in the depthsH4615 of the watersH4325 thy merchandiseH4627 and all thy companyH6951 in the midstH8432 of thee shall fallH5307.
All the inhabitantsH3427 of the islesH339 shall be astonishedH8074 at thee, and their kingsH4428 shall be soreH8178 afraidH8175, they shall be troubledH7481 in their countenanceH6440.
The merchantsH5503 among the peopleH5971 shall hissH8319 at thee; thou shalt be a terrorH1091, and never shalt be any moreH5704+H5769. {a terror: Heb. terrors} {never…: Heb. shalt not be for ever}
ButG1161 heG846 saidG2036, Yea ratherG3304, blessedG3107 are they that hearG191 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, andG2532 keepG5442 itG846.
And ye shall seekH1245 me, and findH4672 me, when ye shall searchH1875 for me with all your heartH3824.
The justH6662 LORDH3068 is in the midstH7130 thereof; he will not doH6213 iniquityH5766: everyH1242 morningH1242 doth he bringH5414 his judgmentH4941 to lightH216, he failethH5737 not; but the unjustH5767 knowethH3045 no shameH1322. {every…: Heb. morning by morning}
WhosoeverG3956 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316 dothG4160 notG3756 commit sinG266; forG3754 hisG846 seedG4690 remainethG3306 inG1722 himG846: andG2532 he cannotG3756+G1410 sinG264, becauseG3754 he is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316.
BlessedH835 is the manH120 whose strengthH5797 is in thee; in whose heartH3824 are the waysH4546 of them.
WhereforeG5620, myG3450 belovedG27, asG2531 ye haveG5219 alwaysG3842 obeyedG5219, notG3361 asG5613 inG1722 myG3450 presenceG3952 onlyG3440, butG235 nowG3568 muchG4183 moreG3123 inG1722 myG3450 absenceG666, work outG2716 your ownG1438 salvationG4991 withG3326 fearG5401 andG2532 tremblingG5156.
ForG1063 it isG2076 GodG2316 whichG3588 workethG1754 inG1722 youG5213 bothG2532 to willG2309 andG2532 to doG1754 ofG5228 his good pleasureG2107.
AndG2532 straightwayG2112 the fatherG3962 of the childG3813 cried outG2896, and saidG3004 withG3326 tearsG1144, LordG2962, I believeG4100; help thouG997 mineG3450 unbeliefG570.
EpaphrasG1889, who is one ofG1537 youG5216, a servantG1401 of ChristG5547, salutethG782 youG5209, alwaysG3842 labouring ferventlyG75 forG5228 youG5216 inG1722 prayersG4335, thatG2443 ye may standG2476 perfectG5046 andG2532 completeG4137 inG1722 allG3956 the willG2307 of GodG2316. {labouring…: or, striving} {complete: or, filled}
WhereforeG1352 alsoG2532 it is containedG4023 inG1722 the scriptureG1124, BeholdG2400, I layG5087 inG1722 SionG4622 a chief cornerG204 stoneG3037, electG1588, preciousG1784: andG2532 he that believethG4100 onG1909 himG846 shallG2617 not beG3364 confoundedG2617.
IfG1437 ye loveG25 meG3165, keepG5083 myG1699 commandmentsG1785.
Cast me not awayH7993 from thy presenceH6440; and takeH3947 not thy holyH6944 spiritH7307 from me.
