Psalms 119
- 58 I have sought Your face with all my heart; be gracious to me according to Your promise.
- 59 I considered my ways and turned my steps to Your testimonies.
- 60 I hurried without hesitating to keep Your commandments.
- 61 Though the ropes of the wicked bind me, I do not forget Your law.
- 62 At midnight I rise to give You thanks for Your righteous judgments.
- 63 I am a friend to all who fear You, and to those who keep Your precepts.
- 64 The earth is filled with Your loving devotion, O LORD; teach me Your statutes.
- 65 You are good to Your servant, O LORD, according to Your word.
- 66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in Your commandments.
- 67 Before I was afflicted, I went astray; but now I keep Your word.
- 68 You are good, and You do what is good; teach me Your statutes.
- 69 Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies, I keep Your precepts with all my heart.
- 70 Their hearts are hard and callous, but I delight in Your law.
- 71 It was good for me to be afflicted, that I might learn Your statutes.
- 72 The law from Your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.
- 73 Your hands have made me and fashioned me; give me understanding to learn Your commandments.
- 74 May those who fear You see me and rejoice, for I have hoped in Your word.
- 75 I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are righteous, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.
- 76 May Your loving devotion comfort me, I pray, according to Your promise to Your servant.
- 77 May Your compassion come to me, that I may live, for Your law is my delight.
- 78 May the arrogant be put to shame for subverting me with a lie; I will meditate on Your precepts.
- 79 May those who fear You turn to me, those who know Your testimonies.
- 80 May my heart be blameless in Your statutes, that I may not be put to shame.
- 81 My soul faints for Your salvation; I wait for Your word.
- 82 My eyes fail, looking for Your promise; I ask, “When will You comfort me?”
- 83 Though I am like a wineskin dried up by smoke, I do not forget Your statutes.
- 84 How many days must Your servant wait? When will You execute judgment on my persecutors?
- 85 The arrogant have dug pits for me in violation of Your law.
- 86 All Your commandments are faithful; I am persecuted without cause—help me!
- 87 They almost wiped me from the earth, but I have not forsaken Your precepts.
- 88 Revive me according to Your loving devotion, that I may obey the testimony of Your mouth.
- 89 Your word, O LORD, is everlasting; it is firmly fixed in the heavens.
- 90 Your faithfulness continues through all generations; You established the earth, and it endures.
- 91 Your ordinances stand to this day, for all things are servants to You.
- 92 If Your law had not been my delight, then I would have perished in my affliction.
- 93 I will never forget Your precepts, for by them You have revived me.
- 94 I am Yours; save me, for I have sought Your precepts.
- 95 The wicked wait to destroy me, but I will ponder Your testimonies.
- 96 I have seen a limit to all perfection, but Your commandment is without limit.
- 97 Oh, how I love Your law! All day long it is my meditation.
- 98 Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies, for they are always with me.
- 99 I have more insight than all my teachers, for Your testimonies are my meditation.
- 100 I discern more than the elders, for I obey Your precepts.
- 101 I have kept my feet from every evil path, that I may keep Your word.
- 102 I have not departed from Your ordinances, for You Yourself have taught me.
- 103 How sweet are Your words to my taste— sweeter than honey in my mouth!
- 104 I gain understanding from Your precepts; therefore I hate every false way.
- 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
- 106 I have sworn and confirmed that I will keep Your righteous judgments.
- 107 I am severely afflicted, O LORD; revive me through Your word.
- 108 Accept the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me Your judgments.
- 109 I constantly take my life in my hands, yet I do not forget Your law.
- 110 The wicked have set a snare for me, but I have not strayed from Your precepts.
- 111 Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.
- 112 I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes, even to the very end.
- 113 The double-minded I despise, but Your law I love.
- 114 You are my hiding place and my shield; I put my hope in Your word.
- 115 Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may obey the commandments of my God.
- 116 Sustain me as You promised, that I may live; let me not be ashamed of my hope.
- 117 Uphold me, and I will be saved, that I may always regard Your statutes.
- 118 You reject all who stray from Your statutes, for their deceitfulness is in vain.
- 119 All the wicked on earth You discard like dross; therefore I love Your testimonies.
- 120 My flesh trembles in awe of You; I stand in fear of Your judgments.
- 121 I have done what is just and right; do not leave me to my oppressors.
- 122 Ensure Your servant’s well-being; do not let the arrogant oppress me.
- 123 My eyes fail, looking for Your salvation, and for Your righteous promise.
- 124 Deal with Your servant according to Your loving devotion, and teach me Your statutes.
- 125 I am Your servant; give me understanding, that I may know Your testimonies.
- 126 It is time for the LORD to act, for they have broken Your law.
- 127 Therefore I love Your commandments more than gold, even the purest gold.
- 128 Therefore I admire all Your precepts and hate every false way.
- 129 Wonderful are Your testimonies; therefore I obey them.
- 130 The unfolding of Your words gives light; it informs the simple.
- 131 I open my mouth and pant, longing for Your commandments.
- 132 Turn to me and show me mercy, as You do to those who love Your name.
- 133 Order my steps in Your word; let no sin rule over me.
- 134 Redeem me from the oppression of man, that I may keep Your precepts.
- 135 Make Your face shine upon Your servant, and teach me Your statutes.
- 136 My eyes shed streams of tears because Your law is not obeyed.
- 137 Righteous are You, O LORD, and upright are Your judgments.
- 138 The testimonies You have laid down are righteous and altogether faithful.
- 139 My zeal has consumed me because my foes forget Your words.
- 140 Your promise is completely pure; therefore Your servant loves it.
- 141 I am lowly and despised, but I do not forget Your precepts.
- 142 Your righteousness is everlasting and Your law is true.
