Psalms 119:33-75

³³Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of thy statutes; And I shall keep it unto the end.

³⁴Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; Yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

³⁵Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; For therein do I delight.

³⁶Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, And not to covetousness.

³⁷Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity, And quicken me in thy ways.

³⁸Confirm unto thy servant thy word, Which is in order unto the fear of thee.

³⁹Turn away my reproach whereof I am afraid; For thine ordinances are good.

⁴⁰Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: Quicken me in thy righteousness.

⁴¹Let thy lovingkindnesses also come unto me, O Jehovah, Even thy salvation, according to thy word.

⁴²So shall I have an answer for him that reproacheth me; For I trust in thy word.

⁴³And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; For I have hoped in thine ordinances.

⁴⁴So shall I observe thy law continually For ever and ever.

⁴⁵And I shall walk at liberty; For I have sought thy precepts.

⁴⁶I will also speak of thy testimonies before kings, And shall not be put to shame.

⁴⁷And I will delight myself in thy commandments, Which I have loved.

⁴⁸I will lift up my hands also unto thy commandments, which I have loved; And I will meditate on thy statutes.

⁴⁹Remember the word unto thy servant, Because thou hast made me to hope.

⁵⁰This is my comfort in my affliction; For thy word hath quickened me.

⁵¹The proud have had me greatly in derision: Yet have I not swerved from thy law.

⁵²I have remembered thine ordinances of old, O Jehovah, And have comforted myself.

⁵³Hot indignation hath taken hold upon me, Because of the wicked that forsake thy law.

⁵⁴Thy statutes have been my songs In the house of my pilgrimage.

⁵⁵I have remembered thy name, O Jehovah, in the night, And have observed thy law.

⁵⁶This I have had, Because I have kept thy precepts.

⁵⁷Jehovah is my portion: I have said that I would observe thy words.

⁵⁸I entreated thy favor with my whole heart: Be merciful unto me according to thy word.

⁵⁹I thought on my ways, And turned my feet unto thy testimonies.

⁶⁰I made haste, and delayed not, To observe thy commandments.

⁶¹The cords of the wicked have wrapped me round; But I have not forgotten thy law.

⁶²At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee Because of thy righteous ordinances.

⁶³I am a companion of all them that fear thee, And of them that observe thy precepts.

⁶⁴The earth, O Jehovah, is full of thy lovingkindness: Teach me thy statutes.

⁶⁵Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Jehovah, according unto thy word.

⁶⁶Teach me good judgment and knowledge; For I have believed in thy commandments.

⁶⁷Before I was afflicted I went astray; But now I observe thy word.

⁶⁸Thou art good, and doest good; Teach me thy statutes.

⁶⁹The proud have forged a lie against me: With my whole heart will I keep thy precepts.

⁷⁰Their heart is as fat as grease; But I delight in thy law.

⁷¹It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I may learn thy statutes.

⁷²The law of thy mouth is better unto me Than thousands of gold and silver.

⁷³Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: Give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

⁷⁴They that fear thee shall see me and be glad, Because I have hoped in thy word.

⁷⁵I know, O Jehovah, that thy judgments are righteous, And that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.
