Psalms 119:67-139 in English

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

⁷⁶ Let, I pray thee, thy lovingkindness be for my comfort, According to thy word unto thy servant.

⁷⁷ Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live; For thy law is my delight.

⁷⁸ Let the proud be put to shame; for they have overthrown me wrongfully: But I will meditate on thy precepts.

⁷⁹ Let those that fear thee turn unto me; And they shall know thy testimonies.

⁸⁰ Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes, That I be not put to shame.

⁸¹ My soul fainteth for thy salvation; But I hope in thy word.

⁸² Mine eyes fail for thy word, While I say, When wilt thou comfort me?

⁸³ For I am become like a wine-skin in the smoke; Yet do I not forget thy statutes.

⁸⁴ How many are the days of thy servant? When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

⁸⁵ The proud have digged pits for me, Who are not according to thy law.

⁸⁶ All thy commandments are faithful: They persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.

⁸⁷ They had almost consumed me upon earth; But I forsook not thy precepts.

⁸⁸ Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; So shall I observe the testimony of thy mouth.

⁸⁹ For ever, O Jehovah, Thy word is settled in heaven.

⁹⁰ Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: Thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.

⁹¹ They abide this day according to thine ordinances; For all things are thy servants.

⁹² Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction.

⁹³ I will never forget thy precepts; For with them thou hast quickened me.

⁹⁴ I am thine, save me; For I have sought thy precepts.

⁹⁵ The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me; But I will consider thy testimonies.

⁹⁶ I have seen an end of all perfection; But thy commandment is exceeding broad.

⁹⁷ Oh how love I thy law! It is my meditation all the day.

⁹⁹ I have more understanding than all my teachers; For thy testimonies are my meditation.

¹⁰⁰ I understand more than the aged, Because I have kept thy precepts.

¹⁰¹ I have refrained my feet from every evil way, That I might observe thy word.

¹⁰² I have not turned aside from thine ordinances; For thou hast taught me.

¹⁰⁴ Through thy precepts I get understanding: Therefore I hate every false way.

¹⁰⁵ Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And light unto my path.

¹⁰⁶ I have sworn, and have confirmed it, That I will observe thy righteous ordinances.

¹⁰⁷ I am afflicted very much: Quicken me, O Jehovah, according unto thy word.

¹⁰⁸ Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill-offerings of my mouth, O Jehovah, And teach me thine ordinances.

¹⁰⁹ My soul is continually in my hand; Yet do I not forget thy law.

¹¹⁰ The wicked have laid a snare for me; Yet have I not gone astray from thy precepts.

¹¹¹ Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever; For they are the rejoicing of my heart.

¹¹² I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes For ever, even unto the end.

¹¹³ I hate them that are of a double mind; But thy law do I love.

¹²⁶ It is time for Jehovah to work; For they have made void thy law.

¹²⁷ Therefore I love thy commandments Above gold, yea, above fine gold.

¹²⁸ Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; And I hate every false way.

¹²⁹ Thy testimonies are wonderful; Therefore doth my soul keep them.

¹³⁰ The opening of thy words giveth light; It giveth understanding unto the simple.

¹³² Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me, As thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.

¹³³ Establish my footsteps in thy word; And let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

¹³⁴ Redeem me from the oppression of man: So will I observe thy precepts.
