Tehillim
Book h
Psalm 107
107:1Give
thanks to the LORD,
For he is good,
For his
loving kindness endures forever.
107:2Let
the redeemed by the LORD say so,
Whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
107:3And
gathered out of the lands,
From the east and from the west,
From the north and from the south.
107:4They
wandered in the wilderness in a desert way.
They found no city to live in.
107:5Hungry
and thirsty,
Their soul fainted in them.
107:6Then
they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
And he delivered them out of their distresses,
107:7He
led them also by a straight way,
That they might go to a city to live in.
107:8Let
them praise the LORD for his loving kindness,
For his wonderful works to the children of men!
107:9For
he satisfies the longing soul.
He fills the hungry soul with good.
107:10Some
sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
Being bound in affliction and iron,
107:11Because
they rebelled against the words of G-d,
And condemned the counsel of Ha`Elyon.
107:12Therefore
he brought down their heart with labor.
They fell down, and there was none to help.
107:13Then
they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
And he saved them out of their distresses.
107:14He
brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
And broke their bonds in sunder.
107:15Let
them praise the LORD for his loving kindness,
For his wonderful works to the children of men!
107:16For
he has broken the gates of brass,
And cut through bars of iron.
107:17Fools
are afflicted because of their disobedience,
And because of their iniquities.
107:18Their
soul abhors all kinds of food.
They draw near to the gates of death.
107:19Then
they cry to the LORD in their trouble,
He saves them out of their distresses.
107:20He
sends his word, and heals them,
And delivers them from their graves.
107:21Let
them praise the LORD for his loving kindness,
For his wonderful works to the children of men!
107:22Let
them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
And declare his works with singing.
107:23Those
who go down to the sea in ships,
Who do business in great waters;
107:24These
see the LORD's works,
And his wonders in the deep.
107:25For
he commands, and raises the stormy wind,
Which lifts up its waves.
107:26They
mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths.
Their soul melts away because of trouble.
107:27They
reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man,
And are at their wits' end.
107:28Then
they cry to the LORD in their trouble,
And he brings them out of their distress.
107:29He
makes the storm a calm,
So that its waves are still.
107:30Then
they are glad because it is calm,
So he brings them to their desired haven.
107:31Let
them praise the LORD for his loving kindness,
For his wonderful works for the children of men!
107:32Let
them exalt him also in the assembly of the people,
And praise him in the seat of the elders.
107:33He
turns rivers into a desert,
Water springs into a thirsty ground,
107:34And
a fruitful land into a salt waste,
For the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
107:35He
turns a desert into a pool of water,
And a dry land into water springs.
107:36There
he makes the hungry live,
That they may prepare a city to live in,
107:37Sow
fields, plant vineyards,
And reap the fruits of increase.
107:38He
blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly.
He doesn't allow their livestock to decrease.
107:39Again,
they are diminished and bowed down
Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
107:40He
pours contempt on princes,
And causes them to wander in a trackless waste.
107:41Yet
he lifts the needy out of their affliction,
And increases their families like a flock.
107:42The
upright will see it, and be glad.
All the wicked will shut their mouths.
107:43Whoever
is wise will pay attention to these things.
They will consider the loving kindnesses of the LORD.
Psalm 108
A Song.
A Psalm by David.
108:1My
heart is steadfast, G-d.
I will sing and I will make music with my soul.
108:2Wake
up, harp and lyre!
I will wake up the dawn.
108:3I
will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations.
I will sing praises to you among the peoples.
108:4For
your loving kindness is great above the heavens.
Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
108:5Be
exalted, G-d, above the heavens,
Let your glory be over all the earth.
108:6That
your beloved may be delivered,
Save with your right hand, and answer us.
108:7God
has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph,
I will divide Shekhem, and measure out the valley of Sukkot.
108:8Gil`ad
is mine. Menasheh is mine.
Efrayim also is my helmet.
Yehudah is my scepter.
108:9Mo'av
is my wash pot.
I will toss my sandal on Edom.
I will shout over Peleshet."
108:10Who
will bring me into the fortified city?
Who has led me to Edom?
108:11Haven't
you rejected us, G-d?
You don't go forth, G-d, with our armies.
108:12Give
us help against the enemy,
For the help of man is vain.
108:13Through
G-d, we will do valiantly.
For it is he who will tread down our enemies.
Psalm 109
For the
Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
109:1God
of my praise, don't remain silent,
109:2For
they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit
against me.
They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.
109:3They
have also surrounded me with words of hatred,
And fought against me without a cause.
109:4In
return for my love, they are my adversaries;
But I am in prayer.
109:5They
have rewarded me evil for good,
And hatred for my love.
109:6Set
a wicked man over him.
Let an adversary stand at his right hand.
109:7When
he is judged, let him come forth guilty.
Let his prayer be turned into sin.
109:8Let
his days be few.
Let another take his office.
109:9Let
his children be fatherless,
And his wife a widow.
109:10Let
his children be wandering beggars.
Let them be sought from their ruins.
109:11Let
the creditor seize all that he has.
Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.
109:12Let
there be none to extend kindness to him,
Neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children.
109:13Let
his posterity be cut off.
In the generation following let their name be blotted out.
109:14Let
the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by the LORD.
Don't let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
109:15Let
them be before the LORD continually,
That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth;
109:16Because
he didn't remember to show kindness,
But persecuted the poor and needy man,
The broken in heart, to kill them.
109:17Yes,
he loved cursing, and it came to him.
He didn't delight in blessing, and it was far from him.
109:18He
clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment.
It came into his inward parts like water,
Like oil into his bones.
109:19Let
it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself,
For the belt that is always around him.
109:20This
is the reward of my adversaries from the LORD,
Of those who speak evil against my soul.
109:21But
deal with me, the LORD the Lord, for your name's sake,
Because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;
109:22For
I am poor and needy.
My heart is wounded within me.
109:23I
fade away like an evening shadow.
I am shaken off like a arbeh.
109:24My
knees are weak through fasting.
My body is thin and lacks fat.
109:25I
have also become a reproach to them.
When they see me, they shake their head.
109:26Help
me, LORD, my G-d.
Save me according to your loving kindness;
109:27That
they may know that this is your hand;
That you, LORD, have done it.
109:28They
may curse, but you bless.
When they arise, they will be shamed,
But your servant shall rejoice.
109:29Let
my adversaries be clothed with dishonor.
Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
109:30I
will give great thanks to the LORD with my mouth.
Yes, I will praise him among the multitude.
109:31For
he will stand at the right hand of the needy,
To save him from those who judge his soul.
Psalm 110
A Psalm
by David.
110:1The
LORD says to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand,
Until I make your enemies your footstool for your feet."
110:2The
LORD will send forth the rod of your strength out of Tziyon.
Rule in the midst of your enemies.
110:3Your
people offer themselves willingly in the day of your power, in holy
array.
Out of the womb of the morning, you have the dew of your youth.
110:4The
LORD has sworn, and will not change his mind:
"You are a kohen forever in the order of
Malki-Tzedek."
110:5The
Lord is at your right hand.
He will crush kings in the day of his wrath.
110:6He
will judge among the nations.
He will heap up dead bodies.
He will crush the ruler of the whole earth.
110:7He
will drink of the brook in the way;
Therefore he will lift up his head.
Psalm 111
111:1Praise
the LORD!
I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart,
In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.
111:2The
LORD's works are great,
Pondered by all those who delight in them.
111:3His
work is honor and majesty.
His righteousness endures forever.
111:4He
has caused his wonderful works to be remembered.
The LORD is gracious and merciful.
111:5He
has given food to those who fear him.
He always remembers his covenant.
111:6He
has shown his people the power of his works,
In giving them the heritage of the nations.
111:7The
works of his hands are truth and justice.
All his precepts are sure.
111:8They
are established forever and ever.
They are done in truth and uprightness.
111:9He
has sent redemption to his people.
He has ordained his covenant forever.
His name is holy and awesome!
111:10The
fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.
All those who do his work have a good understanding.
His
praise endures forever!
Psalm 112
112:1Praise
the LORD!
Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
Who delights greatly in his mitzvot.
112:2His
seed will be mighty in the land.
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
112:3Wealth
and riches are in his house.
His righteousness endures forever.
112:4Light
dawns in the darkness for the upright,
Gracious, merciful, and righteous.
112:5It
is well with the man who deals graciously and lends.
He will maintain his cause in judgment.
112:6For
he will never be shaken.
The righteous will be remembered forever.
112:7He
will not be afraid of evil news.
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
112:8His
heart is established.
He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries.
112:9He
has dispersed, he has given to the poor.
His righteousness endures forever.
His horn will be exalted with honor.
112:10The
wicked will see it, and be grieved.
He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away.
The desire of the wicked will perish.
Psalm 113
113:1Praise
the LORD!
Praise, you servants of the LORD,
Praise the name of the LORD.
113:2Blessed
be the name of the LORD,
From this time forth and forevermore.
113:3From
the rising of the sun to the going down of the same,
The LORD's name is to be praised.
113:4The
LORD is high above all nations,
His glory above the heavens.
113:5Who
is like the LORD, our G-d,
Who has his seat on high,
113:6Who
stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?
113:7He
raises up the poor out of the dust.
Lifts up the needy from the ash heap;
113:8That
he may set him with princes,
Even with the princes of his people.
113:9He
settles the barren woman in her home,
As a joyful mother of children.
Praise
the LORD!
Psalm 114
114:1When
Yisra'el went forth out of Egypt,
The house of Ya`akov from a people of foreign language;
114:2Yehudah
became his sanctuary,
Yisra'el his dominion.
114:3The
sea saw it, and fled.
The Yarden was driven back.
114:4The
mountains skipped like rams,
The little hills like lambs.
114:5What
was it, you sea, that you fled?
You Yarden, that you turned back?
114:6You
mountains, that you skipped like rams;
You little hills, like lambs?
114:7Tremble,
you earth, at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the G-d of Ya`akov,
114:8Who
turned the rock into a pool of water,
The flint into a spring of waters.
Psalm 115
115:1Not
to us, LORD, not to us,
But to your name give glory,
For your loving kindness, and for your truth's sake.
115:2Why
should the nations say,
"Where is their G-d, now?"
115:3But
our G-d is in the heavens.
He does whatever he pleases.
115:4Their
idols are silver and gold,
The work of men's hands.
115:5They
have mouths, but they don't speak;
They have eyes, but they don't see;
115:6They
have ears, but they don't hear;
They have noses, but they don't smell;
115:7They
have hands, but they don't feel;
They have feet, but they don't walk;
Neither do they speak through their throat.
115:8Those
who make them will be like them;
Yes, everyone who trusts in them.
115:9Yisra'el,
trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield.
115:10House
of Aharon, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield.
115:11You
who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield.
115:12The
LORD remembers us. He will bless us.
He will bless the house of Yisra'el.
He will bless the house of Aharon.
115:13He
will bless those who fear the LORD,
Both small and great.
115:14May
the LORD increase you more and more,
You and your children.
115:15Blessed
are you by the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.
115:16The
heavens are the heavens of the LORD;
But the earth has he given to the children of men.
115:17The
dead don't praise the LORD,
Neither any who go down into silence;
115:18But
we will bless the LORD,
From this time forth and forevermore.
Praise
the LORD!
Psalm 116
116:1I
love the LORD, because he listens to my voice,
And my cries for mercy.
116:2Because
he has turned his ear to me,
Therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
116:3The
cords of death surrounded me,
The pains of She'ol got a hold of me.
I found trouble and sorrow.
116:4Then
called I on the name of the LORD:
"The LORD, I beg you, deliver my soul."
116:5Gracious
is the LORD, and righteous;
Yes, our G-d is merciful.
116:6The
LORD preserves the simple.
I was brought low, and he saved me.
116:7Return
to your rest, my soul,
For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
116:8For
you have delivered my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
And my feet from falling.
116:9I
will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
116:10I
believed, therefore I said,
"I was greatly afflicted."
116:11I
said in my haste,
"All men are liars."
116:12What
will I give to the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
116:13I
will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the LORD.
116:14I
will pay my vows to the LORD,
Yes, in the presence of all his people.
116:15Precious
in the sight of the LORD is the death of his holy ones.
116:16LORD,
truly I am your servant.
I am your servant, the son of your handmaid.
You have freed me from my chains.
116:17I
will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And will call on the name of the LORD.
116:18I
will pay my vows to the LORD,
Yes, in the presence of all his people,
116:19In
the courts of the LORD's house,
In the midst of you, Yerushalayim.
Praise
the LORD!
Psalm 117
117:1Praise
the LORD, all you nations!
Extol him, all you peoples!
117:2For
his loving kindness is great toward us.
The LORD's faithfulness endures forever.
Praise
the LORD!
Psalm 118
118:1Give
thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
For his loving kindness endures forever.
118:2Let
Yisra'el now say
That his loving kindness endures forever.
118:3Let
the house of Aharon now say
That his loving kindness endures forever.
118:4Now
let those who fear the LORD say
That his loving kindness endures forever.
118:5Out
of my distress, I called on the LORD.
The LORD answered me with freedom.
118:6The
LORD is on my side. I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
118:7The
LORD is on my side among those who help me.
Therefore I will look in triumph at those who hate me.
118:8It
is better to take refuge in the LORD,
Than to put confidence in man.
118:9It
is better to take refuge in the LORD,
Than to put confidence in princes.
118:10All
the nations surrounded me,
But in the name of the LORD, I cut them off.
118:11They
surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me.
In the name of the LORD I indeed cut them off.
118:12They
surrounded me like bees.
They are quenched like the burning thorns.
In the name of the LORD I cut them off.
118:13You
pushed me back hard, to make me fall,
But the LORD helped me.
118:14The
LORD is my strength and song.
He has become my yeshu`ah.
118:15The
voice of rejoicing and yeshu`ah is in the tents
of the righteous.
"The right hand of the LORD does valiantly.
118:16The
right hand of the LORD is exalted!
The right hand of the LORD does valiantly!"
118:17I
will not die, but live,
And declare the LORD's works.
118:18The
LORD has punished me severely,
But he has not given me over to death.
118:19Open
to me the gates of righteousness.
I will enter into them.
I will give thanks to the LORD.
118:20This
is the gate of the LORD;
The righteous will enter into it.
118:21I
will give thanks to you, for you have answered me,
And have become my yeshu`ah.
118:22The
stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner.
118:23This
is the LORD's doing.
It is marvelous in our eyes.
118:24This
is the day that the LORD has made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it!
118:25Save
us now, we beg you, LORD;
LORD, we beg you, now send prosperity.
118:26Blessed
is he who comes in the name of the LORD!
We have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
118:27The
LORD is G-d, and he has given us light.
Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.
118:28You
are my G-d, and I will give thanks to you.
You are my G-d, I will exalt you.
118:29Oh
give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
For his loving kindness endures forever.
Psalm 119
a
119:1Blessed
are those whose ways are blameless,
Who walk according to the LORD's law.
119:2Blessed
are those who keep his statutes,
Who seek him with their whole heart.
119:3Yes,
they do nothing wrong.
They walk in his ways.
119:4You
have commanded your precepts,
That we should fully obey them.
119:5Oh
that my ways were steadfast
To obey your statutes!
119:6Then
I wouldn't be disappointed,
When I consider all of your mitzvot.
119:7I
will give thanks to you with uprightness of heart,
When I learn your righteous judgments.
119:8I
will observe your statutes.
Don't utterly forsake me.
b
119:9How
can a young man keep his way pure?
By living according to your word.
119:10With
my whole heart, I have sought you.
Don't let me wander from your mitzvot.
119:11I
have hidden your word in my heart,
That I might not sin against you.
119:12Blessed
are you, LORD.
Teach me your statutes.
119:13With
my lips,
I have declared all the ordinances of your mouth.
119:14I
have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies,
As much as in all riches.
119:15I
will meditate on your precepts,
And consider your ways.
119:16I
will delight myself in your statutes.
I will not forget your word.
g
119:17Do
good to your servant.
I will live and I will obey your word.
119:18Open
my eyes,
That I may see wondrous things out of your law.
119:19I
am a stranger on the earth.
Don't hide your mitzvot from me.
119:20My
soul is consumed with longing for your ordinances at all times.
119:21You
have rebuked the proud who are cursed,
Who wander from your mitzvot.
119:22Take
reproach and contempt away from me,
For I have kept your statutes.
119:23Though
princes sit and slander me,
Your servant will meditate on your statutes.
119:24Indeed
your statutes are my delight,
And my counselors.
d
119:25My
soul is laid low in the dust.
Revive me according to your word!
119:26I
declared my ways, and you answered me.
Teach me your statutes.
119:27Let
me understand the teaching of your precepts!
Then I will meditate on your wondrous works.
119:28My
soul is weary with sorrow:
Strengthen me according to your word.
119:29Keep
me from the way of deceit.
Grant me your law graciously!
119:30I
have chosen the way of truth.
I have set my heart on your law.
119:31I
cling to your statutes, LORD.
Don't let me be disappointed.
119:32I
run in the path of your mitzvot,
For you have set my heart free.
h
119:33Teach
me, LORD, the way of your statutes.
I will keep them to the end.
119:34Give
me understanding, and I will keep your law.
Yes, I will obey it with my whole heart.
119:35Direct
me in the path of your mitzvot,
For I delight in them.
119:36Turn
my heart toward your statutes,
Not toward selfish gain.
119:37Turn
my eyes away from looking at worthless things.
Revive me in your ways.
119:38Fulfill
your promise to your servant,
That you may be feared.
119:39Take
away my disgrace that I dread,
For your ordinances are good.
119:40Behold,
I long for your precepts!
Revive me in your righteousness.
w
119:41Let
your loving kindness also come to me, LORD,
Your yeshu`ah, according to your word.
119:42So
I will have an answer for him who reproaches me,
For I trust in your word.
119:43Don't
snatch the word of truth out of my mouth,
For I put my hope in your ordinances.
119:44So
I will obey your law continually,
Forever and ever.
119:45I
will walk in liberty,
For I have sought your precepts.
119:46I
will also speak of your statutes before kings,
And will not be disappointed.
119:47I
will delight myself in your mitzvot,
Because I love them.
119:48I
reach out my hands for your mitzvot, which I
love.
I will meditate on your statutes.
z
119:49Remember
your word to your servant,
Because you gave me hope.
119:50This
is my comfort in my affliction,
For your word has revived me.
119:51The
arrogant mock me excessively,
But I don't swerve from your law.
119:52I
remember your ordinances of old, LORD,
And have comforted myself.
119:53Indignation
has taken hold on me,
Because of the wicked who forsake your law.
119:54Your
statutes have been my songs,
In the house where I live.
119:55I
have remembered your name, LORD, in the night,
And I obey your law.
119:56This
is my way,
That I keep your precepts.
x
119:57The
LORD is my portion.
I promised to obey your words.
119:58I
sought your favor with my whole heart.
Be merciful to me according to your word.
119:59I
considered my ways,
And turned my steps to your statutes.
119:60I
will hurry, and not delay,
To obey your mitzvot.
119:61The
ropes of the wicked bind me,
But I won't forget your law.
119:62At
midnight I will rise to give thanks to you,
Because of your righteous ordinances.
119:63I
am a friend of all those who fear you,
Of those who observe your precepts.
119:64The
earth is full of your loving kindness, LORD.
Teach me your statutes.
j
119:65Do
good to your servant,
According to your word, LORD.
119:66Teach
me good judgment and knowledge,
For I believe in your mitzvot.
119:67Before
I was afflicted, I went astray;
But now I observe your word.
119:68You
are good, and do good.
Teach me your statutes.
119:69The
proud have smeared a lie upon me.
With my whole heart, I will keep your precepts.
119:70Their
heart is as callous as the fat,
But I delight in your law.
119:71It
is good for me that I have been afflicted,
That I may learn your statutes.
119:72The
law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of pieces of gold
and silver.
y
119:73Your
hands have made me and formed me.
Give me understanding, that I may learn your mitzvot.
119:74Those
who fear you will see me and be glad,
Because I have put my hope in your word.
119:75LORD,
I know that your judgments are righteous,
That in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
119:76Please
let your loving kindness be for my comfort,
According to your word to your servant.
119:77Let
your tender mercies come to me, that I may live;
For your law is my delight.
119:78Let
the proud be disappointed, for they have overthrown me wrongfully.
I will meditate on your precepts.
119:79Let
those who fear you turn to me.
They will know your statutes.
119:80Let
my heart be blameless toward your decrees,
That I may not be disappointed.
k
119:81My
soul faints for your salvation.
I hope in your word.
119:82My
eyes fail for your word.
I say, "When will you comfort me?"
119:83For
I have become like a wineskin in the smoke.
I don't forget your statutes.
119:84How
many are the days of your servant?
When will you execute judgment on those who persecute me?
119:85The
proud have dug pits for me,
Contrary to your law.
119:86All
of your mitzvot are faithful.
They persecute me wrongfully.
Help me!
119:87They
had almost wiped me from the earth,
But I didn't forsake your precepts.
119:88Preserve
my life according to your loving kindness,
So I will obey the statutes of your mouth.
l
119:89LORD,
your word is settled in heaven forever.
119:90Your
faithfulness is to all generations.
You have established the earth, and it remains.
119:91Your
laws remain to this day,
For all things serve you.
119:92Unless
your law had been my delight,
I would have perished in my affliction.
119:93I
will never forget your precepts,
For with them, you have revived me.
119:94I
am yours.
Save me, for I have sought your precepts.
119:95The
wicked have waited for me, to destroy me.
I will consider your statutes.
119:96I
have seen a limit to all perfection,
But your commands are boundless.
m
119:97How
love I your law!
It is my meditation all day.
119:98Your
mitzvot make me wiser than my enemies,
For your mitzvot are always with me.
119:99I
have more understanding than all my teachers,
For your testimonies are my meditation.
119:100I
understand more than the aged,
Because I have kept your precepts.
119:101I
have kept my feet from every evil way,
That I might observe your word.
119:102I
have not turned aside from your ordinances,
For you have taught me.
119:103How
sweet are your promises to my taste,
More than honey to my mouth!
119:104Through
your precepts, I get understanding;
Therefore I hate every false way.
n
119:105Your
word is a lamp to my feet,
And a light for my path.
119:106I
have sworn, and have confirmed it,
That I will obey your righteous ordinances.
119:107I
am afflicted very much.
Revive me, LORD, according to your word.
119:108Accept,
I beg you, the willing offerings of my mouth.
LORD, teach me your ordinances.
119:109My
soul is continually in my hand,
Yet I won't forget your law.
119:110The
wicked have laid a snare for me,
Yet I haven't gone astray from your precepts.
119:111I
have taken your testimonies as a heritage forever,
For they are the joy of my heart.
119:112I
have set my heart to perform your statutes forever,
Even to the end.
s
119:113I
hate double-minded men,
But I love your law.
119:114You
are my hiding place and my shield.
I hope in your word.
119:115Depart
from me, you evildoers,
That I may keep the mitzvot of my G-d.
119:116Uphold
me according to your word, that I may live.
Let me not be ashamed of my hope.
119:117Hold
me up, and I will be safe,
And will have respect for your statutes continually.
119:118You
reject all those who stray from your statutes,
For their deceit is in vain.
119:119You
put away all the wicked of the earth like dross.
Therefore I love your testimonies.
119:120My
flesh trembles for fear of you.
I am afraid of your judgments.
[
119:121I
have done what is just and righteous.
Don't leave me to my oppressors.
119:122Ensure
your servant's well-being.
Don't let the proud oppress me.
119:123My
eyes fail watching for your yeshu`ah,
For your righteous word.
119:124Deal
with your servant according to your loving kindness.
Teach me your statutes.
119:125I
am your servant. Give me understanding,
That I may know your testimonies.
119:126It
is time to act, LORD,
For they break your law.
119:127Therefore
I love your mitzvot more than gold,
Yes, more than pure gold.
119:128Therefore
I consider all of your precepts to be right.
I hate every false way.
p
119:129Your
testimonies are wonderful,
Therefore my soul keeps them.
119:130The
entrance of your words gives light.
It gives understanding to the simple.
119:131I
opened my mouth wide and panted,
For I longed for your mitzvot.
119:132Turn
to me, and have mercy on me,
As you always do to those who love your name.
119:133Establish
my footsteps in your word.
Don't let any iniquity have dominion over me.
119:134Redeem
me from the oppression of man,
So I will observe your precepts.
119:135Make
your face shine on your servant.
Teach me your statutes.
119:136Streams
of tears run down my eyes,
Because they don't observe your law.
c
119:137You
are righteous, LORD.
Your judgments are upright.
119:138You
have commanded your statutes in righteousness.
They are fully trustworthy.
119:139My
zeal wears me out,
Because my enemies ignore your words.
119:140Your
promises have been thoroughly tested,
And your servant loves them.
119:141I
am small and despised.
I don't forget your precepts.
119:142Your
righteousness is an everlasting righteousness.
Your law is truth.
119:143Trouble
and anguish have taken hold of me.
Your mitzvot are my delight.
119:144Your
testimonies are righteous forever.
Give me understanding, that I may live.
q
119:145I
have called with my whole heart.
Answer me, LORD!
I will keep your statutes.
119:146I
have called to you. Save me!
I will obey your statutes.
119:147I
rise before dawn and cry for help.
I put my hope in your words.
119:148My
eyes stay open through the night watches,
That I might meditate on your word.
119:149Hear
my voice according to your loving kindness.
Revive me, LORD, according to your ordinances.
119:150They
draw near who follow after wickedness.
They are far from your law.
119:151You
are near, LORD.
All your mitzvot are truth.
119:152Of
old I have known from your testimonies,
That you have founded them forever.
r
119:153Consider
my affliction, and deliver me,
For I don't forget your law.
119:154Plead
my cause, and redeem me!
Revive me according to your promise.
119:155Salvation
is far from the wicked,
For they don't seek your statutes.
119:156Great
are your tender mercies, LORD.
Revive me according to your ordinances.
