Psalms 119:131-170

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.

¹⁴⁶I cried to thee, make thou me safe; that I keep thy commandments.

¹⁴⁷I before came in ripeness, and I cried; I hoped above on thy words.

¹⁴⁸Mine eyes before came to thee full early; that I should bethink on thy speeches.

¹⁴⁹Lord, hear thou my voice by thy mercy; and quicken or enliven thou me by thy doom.

¹⁵⁰They that pursue me nighed to wickedness; forsooth they be made far from thy law.

¹⁵¹Lord, thou art nigh; and all thy ways be truth.

¹⁵²In the beginning I knew of thy witnessings; for thou hast founded those or them without end.

¹⁵³Resh. See thou my meekness, and deliver thou me; for I forgat not thy law.

¹⁵⁴Deem thou my doom, and again-buy thou me; quicken thou me for thy speech.

¹⁵⁵Health is far from sinners; for they sought not thy justifyings.

¹⁵⁶Lord, thy mercies be many; quicken thou me by thy doom.

¹⁵⁷They be many that pursue me, and do tribulation to me; I bowed not away from thy witnessings.

¹⁵⁸I saw breakers of the law, and I was melted, either languished; for they kept not thy speeches.

¹⁵⁹Lord, see thou, for I loved thy commandments; quicken thou me in thy mercy.

¹⁶⁰The beginning of thy word is truth; all the dooms of thy rightwise-ness be without end.

¹⁶¹Schin. Princes pursued me with-out cause; and my heart dreaded of thy words.

¹⁶²I shall be glad on thy speeches; as he that findeth many spoils.

¹⁶³I hated and loathed wickedness; forsooth I loved thy law.

¹⁶⁴I said praisings to thee seven times in the day; on the dooms of thy rightfulness or rightwiseness.

¹⁶⁵Much peace is to them that love thy law; and no cause of stumbling is to them.

¹⁶⁶Lord, I abode thine health; and I loved thy behests.

¹⁶⁷My soul kept thy witnessings; and loved those or them greatly.

¹⁶⁸I kept thy commandments, and thy witnessings; for all my ways be in thy sight.

¹⁶⁹Tau. Lord, my beseeching come nigh in thy sight; by thy speech give thou understanding to me.

¹⁷⁰Mine asking enter into thy sight; by thy speech deliver thou me.
