85The proud have digged pits for me, which is not according to thy law.
86All thy commandments are faithfulness. They persecute me wrongfully: help thou me.
87They had almost consumed me upon the earth; but as for me, I forsook not thy precepts.
88Quicken me according to thy loving-kindness, and I will keep the testimony of thy mouth.
89LAMED. For ever, O Jehovah, thy word is settled in the heavens.
90Thy faithfulness is from generation to generation: thou hast established the earth, and it standeth.
91By thine ordinances they stand this day; for all things are thy servants.
92Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
93I will never forget thy precepts; for by them thou hast quickened me.
94I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.
95The wicked have awaited me to destroy me; but I attend unto thy testimonies.
96I have seen an end of all perfection: thy commandment is exceeding broad.
97MEM. Oh how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
98Thy commandments make me wiser than mine enemies; for they are ever with me.
99I have more understanding than all my teachers; for thy testimonies are my meditation.
100I understand more than the aged, because I have observed thy precepts.
101I have refrained my feet from every evil path, that I might keep thy word.
102I have not departed from thy judgments; for it is thou that hast taught me.
103How sweet are thy *words unto my taste! more than honey to my mouth!
104From thy precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false path.
105NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
106I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
107I am afflicted very much; O Jehovah, quicken me according to thy word.
108Accept, I beseech thee, Jehovah, the voluntary-offerings of my mouth, and teach me thy judgments.
109My life is continually in my hand; but I do not forget thy law.
110The wicked have laid a snare for me; but I have not wandered from thy precepts.
111Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever; for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
112I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes for ever, unto the end.
113SAMECH. The double-minded have I hated; but thy law do I love.
114Thou art my hiding-place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
115Depart from me, ye evil-doers; and I will observe the commandments of my God.
116Uphold me according to thy *word, that I may live; and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
117Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe; and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.
118Thou hast set at nought all them that wander from thy statutes; for their deceit is falsehood.
119Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross; therefore I love thy testimonies.
120My flesh shuddereth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
121AIN. I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.
122Be surety for thy servant for good; let not the proud oppress me.
123Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the *word of thy righteousness.
124Deal with thy servant according to thy loving-kindness, and teach me thy statutes.
125I am thy servant; give me understanding that I may know thy testimonies.
126It is time for Jehovah to work: they have made void thy law.
127Therefore I love thy commandments above gold, yea, above fine gold.
128Therefore I regard all thy precepts concerning all things to be right: I hate every false path.
129PE. Thy testimonies are wonderful; therefore doth my soul observe them.
130The entrance of thy words giveth light, giving understanding unto the simple.
131I opened my mouth wide and panted; for I longed for thy commandments.
132Turn unto me, and be gracious unto me, as thou art wont to do unto those that love thy name.
133Establish my steps in thy *word; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
134Deliver me from the oppression of man; and I will keep thy precepts.
135Make thy face to shine upon thy servant, and teach me thy statutes.
136Mine eyes run down with streams of water, because they keep not thy law.
137TZADE. Righteous art thou, Jehovah, and upright are thy judgments.
138Thou hast commanded thy testimonies in righteousness and exceeding faithfulness.
139My zeal destroyeth me, because mine oppressors have forgotten thy words.
140Thy *word is exceeding pure, and thy servant loveth it.
141I am little and despised: thy precepts have I not forgotten.
142Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is truth.
143Trouble and anguish have taken hold upon me: thy commandments are my delights.
144The righteousness of thy testimonies is for ever: give me understanding, and I shall live.
145KOPH. I have called with my whole heart; answer me, O Jehovah: I will observe thy statutes.
146I call upon thee; save me, and I will keep thy testimonies.
147I anticipate the morning-dawn and I cry: I hope in thy word.
148Mine eyes anticipate the night-watches, that I may meditate in thy *word.
149Hear my voice according to thy loving-kindness: O Jehovah, quicken me according to thy judgment.
150They have drawn nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
151Thou, Jehovah, art near, and all thy commandments are truth.
152From thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
153RESH. See mine affliction, and deliver me; for I have not forgotten thy law.
154Plead my cause, and redeem me: quicken me according to thy *word.
155Salvation is far from the wicked; for they seek not thy statutes.
156Many are thy tender mercies, O Jehovah; quicken me according to thy judgments.
157Many are my persecutors and mine oppressors; I have not declined from thy testimonies.
158I beheld them that deal treacherously, and was grieved; because they kept not thy *word.
159See how I have loved thy precepts: quicken me, O Jehovah, according to thy loving-kindness.
160The sum of thy word is truth, and every righteous judgment of thine is for ever.
161SHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause; but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
162I have joy in thy *word, as one that findeth great spoil.
163I hate and abhor falsehood; thy law do I love.
164Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.
165Great peace have they that love thy law, and nothing doth stumble them.
166I have hoped for thy salvation, O Jehovah, and have done thy commandments.
167My soul hath kept thy testimonies, and I love them exceedingly.
168I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies; for all my ways are before thee.
