Psalm 119

Blessed are the undefiled in the
way, who walk in the law of the Lord.

Blessed are they that keep
his testimonies, and that

seek him with the whole heart.

They also do no iniquity:
they walk in his ways.

Thou hast commanded us to
keep thy precepts diligently.

O that my ways were directed
to keep thy statutes!

Then shall I not be ashamed, when I
have respect unto all thy commandments.

I will praise thee with uprightness
of heart, when I shall have

learned thy righteous judgments.

I will keep thy statutes:
O forsake me not utterly.

Wherewithal shall a young
man cleanse his way?

by taking heed thereto
according to thy word.

With my whole heart have I sought thee: O
let me not wander from thy commandments.

Thy word have I hid in mine heart,
that I might not sin against thee.

Blessed art thou, O Lord:
teach me thy statutes.

With my lips have I declared
all the judgments of thy mouth.

I have rejoiced in the way of thy
testimonies, as much as in all riches.

I will meditate in thy precepts,
and have respect unto thy ways.

I will delight myself in thy
statutes: I will not forget thy word.

Deal bountifully with thy servant,
that I may live, and keep thy word.

Open thou mine eyes, that I may
behold wondrous things out of thy law.

I am a stranger in the earth:
hide not thy commandments from me.

My soul breaketh for the longing that
it hath unto thy judgments at all times.

Thou hast rebuked the proud
that are cursed, which do

err from thy commandments.

Remove from me reproach and contempt;
for I have kept thy testimonies.

Princes also did sit and speak
against me: but thy servant

did meditate in thy statutes.

Thy testimonies also are my
delight and my counselors.

My soul cleaveth unto the dust:
quicken thou me according to thy word.

I have declared my ways, and thou
heardest me: teach me thy statutes.

Make me to understand the way
of thy precepts: so shall I

talk of thy wondrous works.

My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen
thou me according unto thy word.

Remove from me the way of lying:
and grant me thy law graciously.

I have chosen the way of truth: thy
judgments have I laid before me.

I have stuck unto thy testimonies:
O Lord, put me not to shame.

I will run the way of thy commandments,
when thou shalt enlarge my heart.

Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes;
and I shall keep it unto the end.

Give me understanding, and I
shall keep thy law; yea, I shall

observe it with my whole heart.

Make me to go in the path of thy
commandments; for therein do I delight.

Incline my heart unto thy
testimonies, and not to covetousness.

Turn away mine eyes from beholding
vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.

Stablish thy word unto thy servant,
who is devoted to thy fear.

Turn away my reproach which I
fear: for thy judgments are good.

Behold, I have longed after thy precepts:
quicken me in thy righteousness.

Let thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord,
even thy salvation, according to thy word.

So shall I have wherewith to
answer him that reproacheth

me: for I trust in thy word.

And take not the word of truth
utterly out of my mouth; for

I have hoped in thy judgments.

So shall I keep thy law
continually for ever and ever.

And I will walk at liberty:
for I seek thy precepts.

I will speak of thy testimonies also
before kings, and will not be ashamed.

And I will delight myself in thy
commandments, which I have loved.

thy commandments, which I have loved;

and I will meditate in thy statutes.

upon which thou hast caused me to hope.

This is my comfort in my affliction:
for thy word hath The proud have

in the house of my pilgrimage.

my whole heart: be merciful

unto me according to thy word.

thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.

me: give me understanding, that

I may learn thy commandments.

saying, When wilt thou comfort me?

smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.

when wilt thou execute judgment
on them that persecute me?

me, which are not after thy law.

persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.

earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
