Psalms 119:104-145

¹⁰⁴I understood of thy behests; there-fore I hated all the ways of wickedness.

¹⁰⁵Nun. Thy word is a lantern to my feet; and a light to my paths.

¹⁰⁶I swore, and purposed steadfastly; to keep the dooms of thy rightfulness or rightwiseness.

¹⁰⁷I am made low by all things; Lord, quicken thou me by thy word.

¹⁰⁸Lord, make thou well pleasing the willful things of my mouth; and teach thou me thy dooms.

¹⁰⁹My soul is evermore in mine hands; and I forgat not thy law.

¹¹⁰Sinners setted a snare to me; and I erred not from thy commandments.

¹¹¹I purchased thy witnessings by heritage without end; for those or they be the full out joying of mine heart.

¹¹²I bowed mine heart to do thy justifyings without end; for reward.

¹¹³Samech. I hated wicked men; and I loved thy law.

¹¹⁴Thou art mine helper, and mine up-taker; and I hoped more in thy word.

¹¹⁵Ye wicked men, bow away from me; and I shall seek the command-ments of my God.

¹¹⁶Up-take thou me by thy word, and I shall live; and shame thou not me for mine abiding.

¹¹⁷Help thou me, and I shall be safe; and I shall bethink evermore in thy justifyings.

¹¹⁸Thou hast forsaken all men going away from thy dooms; for the thought of them is unjust.

¹¹⁹I areckoned all the sinners of earth to be breakers of the law; therefore I loved thy witnessings.

¹²⁰Nail thou my flesh with thy dread; for I dreaded of thy dooms.

¹²¹Ain. I did doom and rightwise-ness; betake thou not me to them that falsely challenge me.

¹²²Take up thy servant into goodness; they that be proud challenge not me.

¹²³Mine eyes failed into thine health; and into the speech of thy rightful-ness or rightwiseness.

¹²⁴Do thou with thy servant after thy mercy; and teach thou me thy justify-ings.

¹²⁵I am thy servant; give thou under-standing to me, that I know thy witnessings.

¹²⁶Lord, it is time to do; they have destroyed thy law.

¹²⁷Therefore I loved thy command-ments; more than gold and topaz.

¹²⁸Therefore I was dressed to all thy behests; I hated all wicked way.

¹²⁹Pe. Lord, thy witnessings be wonderful; therefore my soul sought those or them.

¹³⁰Declaring of thy words lighteneth; and it giveth understanding to meek men.

¹³¹I opened my mouth, and drew the spirit; for I desired thy commandments.

¹³²Behold thou on me, and have mercy on me; by the doom of them that love thy name.

¹³³Dress thou my goings by thy speech; that all unrightfulness have not lordship on me.

¹³⁴Again-buy thou me from the false challenges of men; that I keep thy behests.

¹³⁵Lighten thy face on thy servant; and teach thou me thy justifyings.

¹³⁶Mine eyes led forth the outgoings of waters; for they kept not thy law.

¹³⁷Tzaddi. Lord, thou art just or rightwise; and thy doom is rightful or right.

¹³⁸Thou hast commanded rightfulness or rightwiseness, thy witnessings; and thy truth greatly to be kept.

¹³⁹My fervent love made me to be melted, either languished; for mine enemies forgat thy words.

¹⁴⁰Thy speech is set afire; and thy servant loved it.

¹⁴¹I am young, and despised; I forgat not thy justifyings.

¹⁴²Lord, thy rightfulness or rightwise-ness is rightfulness or rightwiseness without end; and thy law is truth.

¹⁴³Tribulation and anguish have found me; thy behests is my thinking.

¹⁴⁴Thy witnessings is equity without end; give thou understanding to me, and I shall live.

¹⁴⁵Koph. I cried in all mine heart, Lord, hear thou me; I shall seek thy justifyings.
