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.
151Near art thou, O Lord; and all thy commandments are the truth.
152Of old already I knew of thy testimonies; because for eternity hast thou founded them.
153RESH. Look on my affliction, and release me; for thy law have I not forgotten.
154Plead my cause, and deliver me: according to thy promise do thou revive me.
155Far from the wicked is salvation; because thy statutes have they not sought for.
156Thy mercies are abundant, O Lord; according to thy decrees do thou revive me.
157Many are my persecutors and my assailants: yet from thy testimonies do I not turn away.
158I beheld the treacherous, and felt disgust; because they observed not thy saying.
159Behold that I love thy precepts: O Lord, according to thy kindness do thou revive me.
160The summit of thy word is truth: and the whole of thy righteous judgment endureth for ever.
161SHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause; but of thy word standeth my heart in dread.
162I am rejoiced over thy promise, as one that findeth great spoil.
163Falsehood I hate and abhor: but thy law do I love.
164Seven times in the day do I praise thee because of thy righteous decrees.
165Abundant peace have they who love thy law; and thee is nothing that causeth them to stumble.
166I have hoped for thy salvation, O Lord, and thy commandments have I fulfilled.
167My soul hath observed thy testimonies, and I love them exceedingly.
168I have observed thy precepts and thy testimonies; because all my ways are before thee.
