Psalms 119:71-172

⁷¹It is good to me, that thou hast made me meek; that I learn thy justi-fyings.

⁷²The law out of thy mouth is better to me; than thousands of gold and silver.

⁷³Jod. Thine hands made me, and formed me; give thou understanding to me, that I learn thy behests.

⁷⁴They that dread thee shall see me, and they shall be glad; for I hoped more on thy words.

⁷⁵Lord, I knew, that thy dooms be equity; and in thy truth thou hast made me meek.

⁷⁶Thy mercy be made, that it comfort me; by thy speech to thy servant.

⁷⁷Thy merciful doings come to me, and I shall live; for thy law is my thinking.

⁷⁸They that be proud be shamed, for unjustly they did wickedness against me; but I shall be exercised in thy behests.

⁷⁹They that dread thee be turned to me; and they that know thy witnessings.

⁸⁰Mine heart be made unwemmed in thy justifyings; that I be not shamed.

⁸¹Caph. My soul failed into thine health; and I hoped more in thy word.

⁸²Mine eyes failed into thy speech; saying, When shalt thou comfort me?

⁸³For I am made as a bouget or bottle in frost; I have not forgotten thy justifyings.

⁸⁴How many be the days of thy servant; when thou shalt make doom of them that pursue me?

⁸⁵Wicked men told to me janglings; but not as thy law.

⁸⁶All thy commandments be truth; wicked men have pursued me, help thou me.

⁸⁷Almost they ended me in the earth; but I forsook not thy command-ments.

⁸⁸By thy mercy quicken thou me; and I shall keep the witnessings of thy mouth.

⁸⁹Lamed. Lord, thy word dwelleth in heaven; without end.

⁹⁰Thy truth dwelleth in generation, and into generation; thou hast founded the earth, and it dwelleth.

⁹¹The day lasteth continually by thy ordinances; for all things serve to thee.

⁹²But for thy law was my thinking; then peradventure I had perished in my lowness.

⁹³Without end I shall not forget thy justifyings; for in those or them thou hast quickened me.

⁹⁴I am thine, make thou me safe; for I have sought thy justifyings.

⁹⁵Sinners abode me, for to lose me; I understood thy witnessings.

⁹⁶I saw the end of all end; thy commandment is full large.

⁹⁷Mem. Lord, how loved I or I loved thy law; all day it is my thinking.

⁹⁸Above mine enemies thou madest me prudent by thy commandment; for it is to me without end.

⁹⁹I understood over all men teaching me; for thy witnessings is my thinking.

¹⁰⁰I understood above eld or old men; for I sought thy commandments.

¹⁰¹I forbade my feet from all evil way; that I keep thy words.

¹⁰²I bowed not from thy dooms; for thou hast set law to me.

¹⁰³Thy speeches be full sweet to my cheeks; above honey to my mouth.

¹⁰⁴I understood of thy behests; there-fore I hated all the ways of wickedness.

¹⁰⁵Nun. Thy word is a lantern to my feet; and a light to my paths.

¹⁰⁶I swore, and purposed steadfastly; to keep the dooms of thy rightfulness or rightwiseness.

¹⁰⁷I am made low by all things; Lord, quicken thou me by thy word.

¹⁰⁸Lord, make thou well pleasing the willful things of my mouth; and teach thou me thy dooms.

¹⁰⁹My soul is evermore in mine hands; and I forgat not thy law.

¹¹⁰Sinners setted a snare to me; and I erred not from thy commandments.

¹¹¹I purchased thy witnessings by heritage without end; for those or they be the full out joying of mine heart.

¹¹²I bowed mine heart to do thy justifyings without end; for reward.

¹¹³Samech. I hated wicked men; and I loved thy law.

¹¹⁴Thou art mine helper, and mine up-taker; and I hoped more in thy word.

¹¹⁵Ye wicked men, bow away from me; and I shall seek the command-ments of my God.

¹¹⁶Up-take thou me by thy word, and I shall live; and shame thou not me for mine abiding.

¹¹⁷Help thou me, and I shall be safe; and I shall bethink evermore in thy justifyings.

¹¹⁸Thou hast forsaken all men going away from thy dooms; for the thought of them is unjust.

¹¹⁹I areckoned all the sinners of earth to be breakers of the law; therefore I loved thy witnessings.

¹²⁰Nail thou my flesh with thy dread; for I dreaded of thy dooms.

¹²¹Ain. I did doom and rightwise-ness; betake thou not me to them that falsely challenge me.

¹²²Take up thy servant into goodness; they that be proud challenge not me.

¹²³Mine eyes failed into thine health; and into the speech of thy rightful-ness or rightwiseness.

¹²⁴Do thou with thy servant after thy mercy; and teach thou me thy justify-ings.

¹²⁵I am thy servant; give thou under-standing to me, that I know thy witnessings.

¹²⁶Lord, it is time to do; they have destroyed thy law.

¹²⁷Therefore I loved thy command-ments; more than gold and topaz.

¹²⁸Therefore I was dressed to all thy behests; I hated all wicked way.

¹²⁹Pe. Lord, thy witnessings be wonderful; therefore my soul sought those or them.

¹³⁰Declaring of thy words lighteneth; and it giveth understanding to meek men.

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.

¹⁷¹My lips shall tell out an hymn; when thou hast taught me thy justi-fyings.

¹⁷²My tongue shall pronounce thy speech; for why all thy command-ments be equity.
