1 BLESSED are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. | |
2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. | |
3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. | |
4 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. | |
5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! | |
6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. | |
7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. | |
8 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly. | |
9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. | |
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. | |
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. | |
12 Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes. | |
13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. | |
14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. | |
15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. | |
16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. | |
17 Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word. | |
18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. | |
19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me. | |
20 My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times. | |
21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments. | |
22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies. | |
23 Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. | |
24 Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors. | |
25 My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word. | |
26 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes. | |
27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. | |
28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word. | |
29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. | |
30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me. | |
31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame. | |
32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart. | |
33 Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end. | |
34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. | |
35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight. | |
36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. | |
37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way. | |
38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear. | |
39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good. | |
40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness. | |
41 Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word. | |
42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. | |
43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. | |
44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever. | |
45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. | |
46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. | |
47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. | |
48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. | |
49 Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. | |
50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me. | |
51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law. | |
52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself. | |
53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law. | |
54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. | |
55 I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law. | |
56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts. | |
57 Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words. | |
58 I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word. | |
59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. | |
60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. | |
61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law. | |
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments. | |
63 I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts. | |
64 The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes. | |
65 Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word. | |
66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. | |
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. | |
68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. | |
69 The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart. | |
70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law. | |
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. | |
72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. | |
73 Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. | |
74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word. | |
75 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. | |
76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. | |
77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight. | |
78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts. | |
79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies. | |
80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed. | |
81 My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word. | |
82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me? | |
83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes. | |
84 How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? | |
85 The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law. | |
86 All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. | |
87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts. | |
88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth. | |
89 For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. | |
90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. | |
91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants. | |
92 Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction. | |
93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me. | |
94 I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts. | |
95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies. | |
96 I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad. | |
97 O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. | |
98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. | |
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. | |
100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. | |
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. | |
102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. | |
103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! | |
104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. | |
105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. | |
106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. | |
107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word. | |
108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments. | |
109 My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. | |
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts. | |
111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. | |
112 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end. | |
113 I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. | |
114 Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. | |
115 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. | |
116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. | |
117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. | |
118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. | |
119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. | |
120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. | |
121 I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors. | |
122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. | |
123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness. | |
124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. | |
125 I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. | |
126 It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law. | |
127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. | |
128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. | |
129 Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. | |
130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. | |
131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments. | |
132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name. | |
133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. | |
134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. | |
135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. | |
136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law. | |
137 Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments. | |
138 Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful. | |
139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. | |
140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. | |
141 I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts. | |
142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth. | |
143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights. | |
144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. | |
145 I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes. | |
146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies. | |
147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. | |
148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word. | |
149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment. | |
150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law. | |
151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth. | |
152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever. | |
153 Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law. | |
154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word. | |
155 Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes. | |
156 Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments. | |
157 Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies. | |
158 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word. | |
159 Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness. | |
160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. | |
161 Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. | |
162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. | |
163 I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. | |
164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments. | |
165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. | |
166 LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments. | |
167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly. | |
168 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee. | |
169 Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word. | |
170 Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word. | |
171 My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes. | |
172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness. | |
173 Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts. | |
174 I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight. | |
175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me. | |
176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments. | |
