2. Blessed[H835] are they that keep[H5341] his testimonies[H5713], That seek[H1875] him with the whole heart[H3820].
3. Yea[H6466], they do no unrighteousness[H5766]; They walk[H1980] in his ways[H1870].
4. Thou hast commanded[H6680] us thy precepts[H6490], That we should observe[H8104] them diligently[H3966].
5. Oh that[H305] my ways[H1870] were established[H3559] To observe[H8104] thy statutes[H2706]!
6. Then shall I not be put to shame[H954], When I have respect[H5027] unto all thy commandments[H4687].
7. I will give thanks[H3034] unto thee with uprightness[H3476] of heart[H3824], When I learn[H3925] thy righteous[H6664] judgments[H4941].
8. I will observe[H8104] thy statutes[H2706]: Oh forsake[H5800] me not utterly[H3966].
9. BETH[H5288]. Wherewith shall a young man cleanse[H2135] his way[H734]? By taking heed[H8104] thereto according to thy word[H1697].
10. With my whole heart[H3820] have I sought[H1875] thee[H7686]: Oh let me not wander from thy commandments[H4687].

18. Open[H1540] thou mine eyes[H5869], that I may behold[H5027] Wondrous things[H6381] out of thy law[H8451].
19. I am a sojourner[H1616] in the earth[H776]: Hide[H5641] not thy commandments from me[H4687].
20. My soul[H5315] breaketh[H1638] for the longing[H8375] That it hath unto thine ordinances[H4941] at all times[H6256].
21. Thou hast rebuked[H1605] the proud[H2086] that are cursed[H779], That do wander[H7686] from thy commandments[H4687].
22. Take[H1556] away from me reproach[H2781] and contempt[H937]; For I have kept[H5341] thy testimonies[H5713].
23. Princes[H8269] also sat[H3427] and talked[H1696] against me[H5650]; But thy servant did meditate[H7878] on thy statutes[H2706].
24. Thy testimonies[H5713] also are my delight[H8191] And my counsellors[H582].
25. DALETH[H5315]. My soul cleaveth[H1692] unto the dust[H6083]: Quicken[H2421] thou me according to thy word[H1697].
26. I declared[H5608] my ways[H1870], and thou answeredst[H6030] me[H3925]: Teach me thy statutes[H2706].
27. Make me to understand[H995] the way[H1870] of thy precepts[H6490]: So shall I meditate[H7878] on thy wondrous works[H6381].
28. My soul[H5315] melteth[H1811] for heaviness[H8424]: Strengthen[H6965] thou me according unto thy word[H1697].
29. Remove[H5493] from me the way[H1870] of falsehood[H8267]; And grant me thy law[H8451] graciously[H2603].
30. I have chosen[H977] the way[H1870] of faithfulness[H530]: Thine ordinances[H4941] have I set before me[H7737].

32. I will run[H7323] the way[H1870] of thy commandments[H4687], When thou shalt enlarge[H7337] my heart[H3820].
33. HE[H3384]. Teach me[H3068], O Jehovah, the way[H1870] of thy statutes[H2706]; And I shall keep[H5341] it unto the end[H6118].
34. Give me understanding[H995], and I shall keep[H5341] thy law[H8451]; Yea[H8104], I shall observe it with my whole heart[H3820].

37. Turn away[H5674] mine eyes[H5869] from beholding[H7200] vanity[H7723], And quicken[H2421] me in thy ways[H1870].

40. Behold[H8373], I have longed after thy precepts[H6490]: Quicken[H2421] me in thy righteousness[H6666].
41. VAV[H2617]. Let thy lovingkindnesses also come[H935] unto me[H3068], O Jehovah, Even thy salvation[H8668], according to thy word[H565].
42. So shall I have[H1697] an answer[H6030] for him that reproacheth[H2778] me[H982]; For I trust in thy word[H1697].
43. And take[H5337] not the word[H1697] of truth[H571] utterly[H3966] out of my mouth[H6310]; For I have hoped[H3176] in thine ordinances[H4941].
44. So shall I observe[H8104] thy law[H8451] continually[H8548] For ever[H5769] and ever[H5703].
45. And I shall walk[H1980] at liberty[H7342]; For I have sought[H1875] thy precepts[H6490].
46. I will also speak[H1696] of thy testimonies[H5713] before kings[H4428], And shall not be put to shame[H954].
47. And I will delight[H8173] myself in thy commandments[H4687], Which I have loved[H157].
48. I will lift up[H5375] my hands[H3709] also unto thy commandments[H4687], which I have loved[H157]; And I will meditate[H7878] on thy statutes[H2706].
49. ZAYIN[H2142]. Remember the word[H1697] unto thy servant[H5650], Because thou hast made me to hope[H3176].
50. This is my comfort[H5165] in my affliction[H6040]; For thy word[H565] hath quickened me[H2421].
51. The proud[H2086] have had me greatly[H3966] in derision[H3887]: Yet have I not swerved[H5186] from thy law[H8451].
52. I have remembered[H2142] thine ordinances[H4941] of old[H5769], O Jehovah[H3068], And have comforted myself[H5162].

54. Thy statutes[H2706] have been my songs[H2158] In the house[H1004] of my pilgrimage[H4033].
55. I have remembered[H2142] thy name[H8034], O Jehovah[H3068], in the night[H3915], And have observed[H8104] thy law[H8451].
56. This I have had[H5341], Because I have kept thy precepts[H6490].
57. HHETH[H3068]. Jehovah is my portion[H2506]: I have said[H559] that I would observe[H8104] thy words[H1697].
58. I entreated[H2470] thy favor[H6440] with my whole heart[H3820]: Be merciful[H2603] unto me according to thy word[H565].
59. I thought[H2803] on my ways[H1870], And turned[H7725] my feet[H7272] unto thy testimonies[H5713].
60. I made haste[H2363], and delayed[H4102] not[H8104], To observe thy commandments[H4687].
61. The cords[H2256] of the wicked[H7563] have wrapped[H5749] me round[H7911]; But I have not forgotten thy law[H8451].
62. At midnight[H2676] I will rise[H6965] to give thanks[H3034] unto thee Because of thy righteous[H6664] ordinances[H4941].
63. I am a companion[H2270] of all them that fear[H3372] thee[H8104], And of them that observe thy precepts[H6490].
64. The earth[H776], O Jehovah[H3068], is full[H4390] of thy lovingkindness[H2617]: Teach[H3925] me thy statutes[H2706].
65. TETH[H6213]. Thou hast dealt well[H2896] with thy servant[H5650], O Jehovah[H3068], according unto thy word[H1697].
66. Teach[H3925] me good[H2898] judgment[H2940] and knowledge[H1847]; For I have believed[H539] in thy commandments[H4687].
67. Before I was afflicted[H6031] I went astray[H7683]; But now I observe[H8104] thy word[H565].
68. Thou art good[H2896], and doest good[H2895]; Teach[H3925] me thy statutes[H2706].
69. The proud[H2086] have forged[H2950] a lie[H8267] against me[H3820]: With my whole heart will I keep[H5341] thy precepts[H6490].
70. Their heart[H3820] is as fat[H2954] as grease[H2459]; But I delight[H8173] in thy law[H8451].
71. It is good[H2896] for me that I have been afflicted[H6031]; That I may learn[H3925] thy statutes[H2706].
72. The law[H8451] of thy mouth[H6310] is better[H2896] unto me Than thousands[H505] of gold[H2091] and silver[H3701].
73. YODH[H3027]. Thy hands have made[H6213] me and fashioned[H6213] me[H995]: Give me understanding, that I may learn[H3925] thy commandments[H4687].
74. They that fear[H3373] thee shall see[H7200] me and be glad[H8055], Because I have hoped[H3176] in thy word[H1697].
75. I know[H3045], O Jehovah[H3068], that thy judgments[H4941] are righteous[H6664], And that in faithfulness[H530] thou hast afflicted me[H6031].
76. Let[H2617], I pray thee, thy lovingkindness be for my comfort[H5162], According to thy word[H565] unto thy servant[H5650].
77. Let thy tender mercies[H7356] come[H935] unto me[H2421], that I may live; For thy law[H8451] is my delight[H8191].
78. Let the proud[H2086] be put to shame[H954]; For they have overthrown[H5791] me wrongfully[H8267]: But I will meditate[H7878] on thy precepts[H6490].
79. Let those that fear[H3373] thee turn[H7725] unto me[H3045]; And they shall know thy testimonies[H5713].
80. Let my heart[H3820] be perfect[H8549] in thy statutes[H2706], That I be not put to shame[H954].
81. KAPH[H5315]. My soul fainteth[H3615] for thy salvation[H8668]; But I hope[H3176] in thy word[H1697].
82. Mine eyes[H5869] fail[H3615] for thy word[H565], While I say[H559], When wilt thou comfort me[H5162]?
83. For I am become like a wine-skin[H4997] in the smoke[H7008]; Yet do I not forget[H7911] thy statutes[H2706].
84. How many are the days[H3117] of thy servant[H5650]? When wilt thou execute[H6213] judgment[H4941] on them that persecute me[H7291]?
85. The proud[H2086] have digged[H3738] pits[H7882] for me[H8451], Who are not according to thy law.
86. All thy commandments[H4687] are faithful[H530]: They persecute[H7291] me wrongfully[H8267]; Help thou me[H5826].
87. They had almost[H4592] consumed[H3615] me upon earth[H776]; But I forsook[H5800] not thy precepts[H6490].
88. Quicken[H2421] me after thy lovingkindness[H2617]; So shall I observe[H8104] the testimony[H5715] of thy mouth[H6310].
89. LAMEDH[H5769]. For ever, O Jehovah[H3068], Thy word[H1697] is settled[H5324] in heaven[H8064].
90. Thy faithfulness[H530] is unto all[H1755] generations[H1755]: Thou hast established[H3559] the earth[H776], and it abideth[H5975].
91. They abide[H5975] this day[H3117] according to thine ordinances[H4941]; For all things are thy servants[H5650].
92. Unless[H3884] thy law[H8451] had been my delight[H8191], I should then have perished[H6] in mine affliction[H6040].
93. I will never[H5769] forget[H7911] thy precepts[H6490]; For with them thou hast quickened me[H2421].
94. I am thine[H3467], save me[H1875]; For I have sought thy precepts[H6490].
95. The wicked[H7563] have waited[H6960] for me[H6], to destroy me[H995]; But I will consider thy testimonies[H5713].
96. I have seen[H7200] an end[H7093] of all perfection[H8502]; But thy commandment[H4687] is exceeding[H3966] broad[H7342].
97. MEM[H157]. Oh how love I thy law[H8451]! It is my meditation[H7881] all the day[H3117].
98. Thy commandments[H4687] make me wiser[H2449] than mine enemies[H341]; For they are ever with me[H5769].
99. I have more understanding[H7919] than all my teachers[H3925]; For thy testimonies[H5715] are my meditation[H7881].
100. I understand[H995] more than the aged[H2205], Because I have kept[H5341] thy precepts[H6490].
101. I have refrained[H3607] my feet[H7272] from every evil[H7451] way[H734], That I might observe[H8104] thy word[H1697].
102. I have not turned[H5493] aside from thine ordinances[H4941]; For thou hast taught me[H3384].
103. How sweet[H4452] are thy words[H565] unto my taste[H2441]! Yea[H1706], sweeter than honey to my mouth[H6310]!
104. Through thy precepts[H6490] I get understanding[H995]: Therefore I hate[H8130] every false[H8267] way[H734].
105. NUN[H1697]. Thy word is a lamp[H5216] unto my feet[H7272], And light[H216] unto my path[H5410].
106. I have sworn[H7650], and have confirmed[H6965] it[H8104], That I will observe thy righteous[H6664] ordinances[H4941].
107. I am afflicted[H6031] very much[H3966]: Quicken[H2421] me[H3068], O Jehovah, according unto thy word[H1697].
108. Accept[H7521], I beseech thee[H5071], the freewill-offerings of my mouth[H6310], O Jehovah[H3068], And teach[H3925] me thine ordinances[H4941].
109. My soul[H5315] is continually[H8548] in my hand[H3709]; Yet do I not forget[H7911] thy law[H8451].
110. The wicked[H7563] have laid[H5414] a snare[H6341] for me[H8582]; Yet have I not gone astray from thy precepts[H6490].
111. Thy testimonies[H5715] have I taken as a heritage[H5157] for ever[H5769]; For they are the rejoicing[H8342] of my heart[H3820].
112. I have inclined[H5186] my heart[H3820] to perform[H6213] thy statutes[H2706] For ever[H6118], even unto the end.
113. SAMEKH[H8130]. I hate them that are of a double mind[H5588]; But thy law[H8451] do I love[H157].
114. Thou art my hiding-place[H5643] and my shield[H4043]: I hope[H3176] in thy word[H1697].
115. Depart[H5493] from me[H7489], ye evil-doers, That I may keep[H5341] the commandments[H4687] of my God[H430].
116. Uphold[H5564] me according unto thy word[H565], that I may live[H2421]; And let me not be ashamed[H954] of my hope[H7664].
117. Hold thou me up[H5582], and I shall be safe[H3467], And shall have respect[H8159] unto thy statutes[H2706] continually[H8548].
118. Thou hast set at nought[H5541] all them that err[H7686] from thy statutes[H2706]; For their deceit[H8649] is falsehood[H8267].
119. Thou puttest away[H7673] all the wicked[H7563] of the earth[H776] like dross[H5509]: Therefore I love[H157] thy testimonies[H5713].
120. My flesh[H1320] trembleth[H5568] for fear[H6343] of thee[H3372]; And I am afraid of thy judgments[H4941].
121. AYIN[H6213]. I have done justice[H4941] and righteousness[H6664]: Leave[H3240] me not to mine oppressors[H6231].
122. Be surety[H6148] for thy servant[H5650] for good[H2896]: Let not the proud[H2086] oppress me[H6231].
123. Mine eyes[H5869] fail[H3615] for thy salvation[H3444], And for thy righteous[H6664] word[H565].
124. Deal[H6213] with thy servant[H5650] according unto thy lovingkindness[H2617], And teach[H3925] me thy statutes[H2706].
125. I am thy servant[H5650]; Give me understanding[H995], That I may know[H3045] thy testimonies[H5713].
126. It is time[H6256] for Jehovah[H3068] to work[H6213]; For they have made void[H6565] thy law[H8451].
127. Therefore I love[H157] thy commandments[H4687] Above gold[H2091], yea[H6337], above fine gold.
128. Therefore I esteem all thy precepts[H6490] concerning all things to be right[H3474]; And I hate[H8130] every false[H8267] way[H734].
129. PE[H5715]. Thy testimonies are wonderful[H6382]; Therefore doth my soul[H5315] keep them[H5341].
130. The opening[H6608] of thy words[H1697] giveth light[H215]; It giveth understanding[H995] unto the simple[H6612].
131. I opened[H6473] wide my mouth[H6310], and panted[H7602]; For I longed[H2968] for thy commandments[H4687].
132. Turn[H6437] thee unto me[H2603], and have mercy upon me[H4941], As thou usest to do unto those that love[H157] thy name[H8034].
133. Establish[H3559] my footsteps[H6471] in thy word[H565]; And let not any iniquity[H205] have dominion over me[H7980].
134. Redeem[H6299] me from the oppression[H6233] of man[H120]: So will I observe[H8104] thy precepts[H6490].
135. Make thy face[H6440] to shine[H215] upon thy servant[H5650]; And teach[H3925] me thy statutes[H2706].
136. Streams[H6388] of water[H4325] run down[H3381] mine eyes[H5869], Because they observe[H8104] not thy law[H8451].
137. TSADHE[H6662]. Righteous art thou[H3068], O Jehovah, And upright[H3477] are thy judgments[H4941].
138. Thou hast commanded[H6680] thy testimonies[H5713] in righteousness[H6664] And very[H3966] faithfulness[H530].
139. My zeal[H7068] hath consumed[H6789] me[H6862], Because mine adversaries have forgotten[H7911] thy words[H1697].
140. Thy word[H565] is very[H3966] pure[H6884]; Therefore thy servant[H5650] loveth it[H157].
141. I am small[H6810] and despised[H959]; Yet do I not forget[H7911] thy precepts[H6490].
142. Thy righteousness[H6666] is an everlasting[H5769] righteousness[H6664], And thy law[H8451] is truth[H571].
143. Trouble[H6862] and anguish[H4689] have taken hold[H4672] on me[H4687]; Yet thy commandments are my delight[H8191].
144. Thy testimonies[H5715] are righteous[H6664] for ever[H5769]: Give me understanding[H995], and I shall live[H2421].
145. QOPH[H7121]. I have called with my whole heart[H3820]; Answer[H6030] me[H3068], O Jehovah: I will keep[H5341] thy statutes[H2706].
146. I have called[H7121] unto thee[H3467]; Save me[H8104], And I shall observe thy testimonies[H5713].
147. I anticipated[H6923] the dawning of the morning[H5399], and cried[H7768]: I hoped[H3176] in thy words[H1697].
148. Mine eyes[H5869] anticipated[H6923] the night-watches[H821], That I might meditate[H7878] on thy word[H565].
149. Hear[H8085] my voice[H6963] according unto thy lovingkindness[H2617]: Quicken[H2421] me[H3068], O Jehovah, according to thine ordinances[H4941].
