Psalms 119:43-81

⁴³And Thou takest not utterly away From my mouth the word of truth, Because for Thy judgment I have hoped.

⁴⁴And I keep Thy law continually, To the age and for ever.

⁴⁵And I walk habitually in a broad place, For Thy precepts I have sought.

⁴⁶And I speak of Thy testimonies before kings, And I am not ashamed.

⁴⁷And I delight myself in Thy commands, That I have loved,

⁴⁸And I lift up my hands unto Thy commands, That I have loved, And I do meditate on Thy statutes!

⁴⁹Zain. Remember the word to Thy servant, On which Thou hast caused me to hope.

⁵⁰This is my comfort in mine affliction, That Thy saying hath quickened me.

⁵¹The proud have utterly scorned me, From Thy law I have not turned aside.

⁵²I remembered Thy judgments of old, O Jehovah, And I comfort myself.

⁵³Horror hath seized me, Because of the wicked forsaking Thy law.

⁵⁴Songs have been to me Thy statutes, In the house of my sojournings.

⁵⁵I have remembered in the night Thy name, O Jehovah, And I do keep Thy law.

⁵⁶This hath been to me, That Thy precepts I have kept!

⁵⁷Cheth. My portion is Jehovah; I have said — to keep Thy words,

⁵⁸I appeased Thy face with the whole heart, Favour me according to Thy saying.

⁵⁹I have reckoned my ways, And turn back my feet unto Thy testimonies.

⁶⁰I have made haste, And delayed not, to keep Thy commands.

⁶¹Cords of the wicked have surrounded me, Thy law I have not forgotten.

⁶²At midnight I rise to give thanks to Thee, For the judgments of Thy righteousness.

⁶³A companion I am to all who fear Thee, And to those keeping Thy precepts.

⁶⁴Of Thy kindness, O Jehovah, the earth is full, Thy statutes teach Thou me!

⁶⁵Teth. Good Thou didst with Thy servant, O Jehovah, According to Thy word.

⁶⁶The goodness of reason and knowledge teach me, For in Thy commands I have believed.

⁶⁷Before I am afflicted, I — I am erring, And now Thy saying I have kept.

⁶⁸Good Thou art, and doing good, Teach me Thy statutes.

⁶⁹Forged against me falsehood have the proud, I with the whole heart keep Thy precepts.

⁷⁰Insensate as fat hath been their heart, I — in Thy law I have delighted.

⁷¹Good for me that I have been afflicted, That I might learn Thy statutes.

⁷²Better to me is the law of Thy mouth Than thousands of gold and silver!

⁷³Yod. Thy hands made me and establish me, Cause me to understand, and I learn Thy commands.

⁷⁴Those fearing Thee see me and rejoice, Because for Thy word I have hoped.

⁷⁵I have known, O Jehovah, That righteous are Thy judgments, And in faithfulness Thou hast afflicted me.

⁷⁶Let, I pray Thee, Thy kindness be to comfort me, According to Thy saying to Thy servant.

⁷⁷Meet me do Thy mercies, and I live, For Thy law is my delight.

⁷⁸Ashamed are the proud, For with falsehood they dealt perversely with me. I meditate in Thy precepts.

⁷⁹Those fearing Thee turn back to me, And those knowing Thy testimonies.

⁸⁰My heart is perfect in Thy statutes, So that I am not ashamed.

⁸¹Kaph. Consumed for Thy salvation hath been my soul, For Thy word I have hoped.
