Psalms 119:106-150

¹⁰⁶I have sworn, and I will perform it, to observe thy righteous ordinances.

¹⁰⁷I am afflicted exceedingly much: O Lord, revive me, according to thy word.

¹⁰⁸Receive in favor the freewill-offerings of my mouth, I beseech thee, O Lord, and teach me thy ordinances.

¹⁰⁹My life is in my hand continually: yet thy law do I not forget.

¹¹⁰The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet have I not erred from thy precepts.

¹¹¹I have taken thy testimonies as a heritage to eternity; for they are the joy of my heart.

¹¹²I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes always, in all their ways.

¹¹³SAMECH. Those of divided thoughts I hate; but thy law do I love.

¹¹⁴My shelter and my shield art thou: for thy word do I wait.

¹¹⁵Depart from me, ye evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of God.

¹¹⁶Uphold me according to thy promise, that I may live, and let me not be made ashamed of my hope.

¹¹⁷Support me that I may be placed in safety, and I will direct my regard unto thy statutes continually.

¹¹⁸Thou hast trodden down all that erringly stray from thy statutes; for falsehood is their deceit.

¹¹⁹Like dross dost thou put away all the wicked of the earth: therefore do I love thy testimonies.

¹²⁰My flesh trembleth shudderingly from dread of thee, and of thy decrees am I afraid.

¹²¹'AYIN. I have executed justice and righteousness: leave me not to those who oppress me.

¹²²Protect thy servant for good: let not the presumptuous oppress me.

¹²³My eyes look eagerly for thy salvation, and for thy righteous promise.

¹²⁴Deal with thy servant according to thy kindness, and thy statutes do thou teach me.

¹²⁵I am thy servant: give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.

¹²⁶It is time to act for the Lord: they have broken thy law.

¹²⁷Therefore do I love thy commandments more than gold, and more than fine gold.

¹²⁸Therefore do I esteem all thy precepts in all things as right: every path of falsehood do I hate.

¹²⁹PE. Wonderful are thy testimonies: therefore doth my soul keep them.

¹³⁰The opening of thy words giveth light, it giveth understanding unto the simple.

¹³¹I opened my mouth, and panted for breath; because for thy commandments did I long.

¹³²Turn thou unto me, and be gracious unto me, as is thy wont unto those that love thy name.

¹³³My steps establish thou through thy promise, and suffer not any wrong to have dominion over me.

¹³⁴Deliver me from the oppression of man, and I will observe thy precepts.

¹³⁵Let thy face shine upon thy servant, and teach me thy statutes.

¹³⁶Streams of water have run down my eyes; because they had not observed thy law.

¹³⁷TZADDE. Righteous art thou, O Lord, and upright are thy decrees.

¹³⁸Thou hast commanded thy testimonies, as righteous and faithful exceedingly.

¹³⁹My zeal destroyeth me; because my assailants have forgotten thy words.

¹⁴⁰Thy promise is greatly refined, and thy servant loveth it.

¹⁴¹I am little and despised: yet thy precepts have I not forgotten.

¹⁴²Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.

¹⁴³Distress and trouble have overtaken me: yet are thy commandments my delights.

¹⁴⁴Righteous are thy testimonies for everlasting: give me understanding, that I may live.

¹⁴⁵KOPH. I have called with all my heart: answer me, O Lord: thy statutes will I keep.

¹⁴⁶I have called on thee, save me, and I will observe thy testimonies.

¹⁴⁷I come before thee in the dawn of morning, and cry: for thy word do I wait.

¹⁴⁸My eyes are awake before the night-watches, that I may meditate in thy saying.

¹⁴⁹Hear my voice according to thy kindness: O Lord, according to thy decree do thou grant me life.

¹⁵⁰They that pursue mischievous devices draw nigh: from thy law are they far.
