Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the Law of the LORD. |
|
2
|
Blessed are those who keep His testimonies and seek Him with all their heart. |
|
3
|
They do no iniquity; they walk in His ways. |
|
4
|
You have ordained Your precepts, that we should keep them diligently. |
|
5
|
Oh, that my ways were committed to keeping Your statutes! |
|
6
|
Then I would not be ashamed when I consider all Your commandments. |
|
7
|
I will praise You with an upright heart when I learn Your righteous judgments. |
|
8
|
I will keep Your statutes; do not utterly forsake me. |
|
9
|
How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to Your word. |
|
10
|
With all my heart I have sought You; do not let me stray from Your commandments. |
|
11
|
I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You. |
|
12
|
Blessed are You, O LORD; teach me Your statutes. |
|
13
|
With my lips I proclaim all the judgments of Your mouth. |
|
14
|
I rejoice in the way of Your testimonies as much as in all riches. |
|
15
|
I will meditate on Your precepts and regard Your ways. |

|
I will delight in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word. |

17
|
Deal bountifully with Your servant, that I may live and keep Your word. |

Open my eyes that I may see wondrous things from Your law. |
|
19
|
I am a stranger on the earth; do not hide Your commandments from me. |
|
20
|
My soul is consumed with longing for Your judgments at all times. |
|
21
|
You rebuke the arrogant—the cursed who stray from Your commandments. |
|
22
|
Remove my scorn and contempt, for I have kept Your testimonies. |
|
23
|
Though rulers sit and slander me, Your servant meditates on Your statutes. |
|
24
|
Your testimonies are indeed my delight; they are my counselors. |
|
25
|
My soul cleaves to the dust; revive me according to Your word. |
|
26
|
I recounted my ways, and You answered me; teach me Your statutes. |
|
27
|
Make clear to me the way of Your precepts; then I will meditate on Your wonders. |
|
28
|
My soul melts with sorrow; strengthen me according to Your word. |
|
29
|
Remove me from the path of deceit and graciously grant me Your law. |
|
30
|
I have chosen the way of truth; I have set Your ordinances before me. |
|
31
|
I cling to Your testimonies, O LORD; let me not be put to shame. |
|
32
|
I run in the path of Your commandments, for You will enlarge my heart. |
|
33
|
Teach me, O LORD, the way of Your statutes, and I will keep them to the end. |
|
34
|
Give me understanding that I may obey Your law, and follow it with all my heart. |
|
35
|
Direct me in the path of Your commandments, for there I find delight. |
|
36
|
Turn my heart to Your testimonies and not to covetous gain. |
|
37
|
Turn my eyes away from worthless things; revive me with Your word. |
|
38
|
Establish Your word to Your servant, to produce reverence for You. |
|
39
|
Turn away the disgrace I dread, for Your judgments are good. |
|
40
|
How I long for Your precepts! Revive me in Your righteousness. |
|
41
|
May Your loving devotion come to me, O LORD, Your salvation, according to Your promise. |
|
42
|
Then I can answer him who taunts, for I trust in Your word. |
|
43
|
Never take Your word of truth from my mouth, for I hope in Your judgments. |
|
44
|
I will always obey Your law, forever and ever. |
|
45
|
And I will walk in freedom, for I have sought Your precepts. |
|
46
|
I will speak of Your testimonies before kings, and I will not be ashamed. |
|
47
|
I delight in Your commandments because I love them. |
|
48
|
I lift up my hands to Your commandments, which I love, and I meditate on Your statutes. |
|
49
|
Remember Your word to Your servant, upon which You have given me hope. |
|
50
|
This is my comfort in affliction, that Your promise has given me life. |
|
51
|
The arrogant utterly deride me, but I do not turn from Your law. |
|
52
|
I remember Your judgments of old, O LORD, and in them I find comfort. |
|
53
|
Rage has taken hold of me because of the wicked who reject Your law. |
|
54
|
Your statutes are songs to me in the house of my pilgrimage. |
|
55
|
In the night, O LORD, I remember Your name, that I may keep Your law. |
|
56
|
This is my practice, for I obey Your precepts. |
|
57
|
The LORD is my portion; I have promised to keep Your words. |
|
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. |

I call to You; save me, that I may keep Your testimonies. |
|
147
|
I rise before dawn and cry for help; in Your word I have put my hope. |
|
148
|
My eyes anticipate the watches of night, that I may meditate on Your word. |
|
149
|
Hear my voice, O LORD, according to Your loving devotion; give me life according to Your justice. |
|
150
|
Those who follow after wickedness draw near; they are far from Your law. |
|
151
|
You are near, O LORD, and all Your commandments are true. |
|
152
|
Long ago I learned from Your testimonies that You have established them forever. |
|
153
|
Look upon my affliction and rescue me, for I have not forgotten Your law. |

The entirety of Your word is truth, and all Your righteous judgments endure forever. |
|
161
|
Rulers persecute me without cause, but my heart fears only Your word. |
|
162
|
I rejoice in Your promise like one who finds great spoil. |
|
163
|
I hate and abhor falsehood, but Your law I love. |
|
164
|
Seven times a day I praise You for Your righteous judgments. |
