Psalm 119

119 Happy are they who live uprightly, living by the Eternal’s law!

2 Happy are they who follow his injunctions, giving him undivided hearts,

3 who do no wrong, who keep to his paths!

4 Thou has laid down thy behests for us to do them diligently;

5 oh that my life were set on thine obedience!

6 No shame befalls me when I heed thy commands.

7 As I learn the justice of thy rulings, I thank thee with unfeignèd heart;

8 I will obey thee: never do thou forsake me.

9 How can a young man keep life clean? By keeping to thy word.

10 I give thee an undivided heart; oh never may I stray from thy control!

11 I store thy word within my heart, to keep myself from sinning against thee.

12 Blessed be thou, O Eternal; teach my thy will.

13 My lips recount all that thy lips enjoin;

14 I find more joy in thine injunctions than in any wealth.

15 I muse on thy behests and mark thy paths;

16 I delight in thy will, I never forget thy word.

17 Deal kindly with thy servant, that I live to do thy bidding;

18 open mine eyes to see the wonders of thy law;

19 hide not thy commands from me, an alien on the earth.

20 My soul yearns all the time for thee to intervene,

21 to check the arrogant, to curse all those who swerve from thy control;

22 relieve me from their insults and contempt, for I follow thine injunctions.

23 Nobles may plan to attack me, but thy servant muses on thine orders;

24 my advisers are thine own injunctions – I delight in them.

25 My soul is bowed to the dust: revive me, as thou hast promised;

26 teach me thine orders, thou who answerest me when I tell thee my plight;

27 show me how thy will works, that I may muse upon thy wondrous deeds.

28 My soul is melting under trouble: nerve me as thou hast promised;

29 keep me from being false to thee, and graciously direct me.

30 A faithful life is what I choose, thy demands I desire;

31 O thou Eternal, disappoint me not, I bind me to thy bidding;

32 I will obey thee eagerly, as thou dost open up my life.

33 Teach me, Eternal, how thine orders run, and I will follow to the end;

34 instruct me how to carry out thy law, and I will keep it with all my heart;

35 lead me in thine obedience, for it is my joy.

36 Incline my heart to thy behests, and to no love of gain,

37 make me alive to follow thee, and turn mine eyes from cravings vain.

38 Fulfil thy promise to thy servant, to advance thy faith;

39 remove the insults that I dread, and intervene for good;

40 as thou art true, revive me; I am yearning for thy will.

41 Let thy love come to my rescue, as thou has promised;

42 then I can face my revilers, relying on thy promise;

43 leave me not speechless for the truth: my hope is, thou wilt intervene.

44 I would obey thy law continually, always and evermore;

45 let me live unhampered, for I study thy behests.

46 I bear testimony to thy law before kings, unashamed;

47 I take delight in thy commands, so dear to me,

48 I adore thy commands and muse upon thine orders.

49 Remember thy promise to thy servant, for thou didst bid me hope;

50 this comforts me in trouble, thy promise puts life into me.

51 Arrogant men may deride me, but from thy law I never swerve;

52 I console myself, remembering thy judgments of old.

53 Hot indignation seizes me at the ungodly who forsake thy law.

54 Thy statutes are my songs, as I wander through the world.

55 I remember thy name by night and I obey thy law;

56 this is my blessed lot, to carry out thy behests.

57 Yes, O Eternal, to obey thy bidding, this is my lot;

58 with all my heart I pray thee to revive me, as thou hast promised.

59 Thinking on how to live, I turn to thy directions,

60 I hasten instantly to follow thy commands;

61 evil men may ensnare me, but I never forget thy law.

62 At midnight I rise to praise thee for thy just interventions;

63 I keep company with all thy worshippers who carry out thy will;

64 teach me thine orders, for the world is full of thy goodness.

65 Thou has been good to thy servant, as thou didst promise;

66 train me in judgment and knowledge, for I believe in thy commands;

67 before my trouble I went wrong, but now I do thy bidding.

68 Thou art good and doest good, teach me thine orders;

69 proud men bespatter me with lies, but I carry out thy behests;

70 their minds are gross and dull, but I thrill to thy law.

71 It is good for me to have been in trouble – to learn thy will;

72 thy law means more to me than piles of gold and silver.

73 Thy hands made and moulded me, to understand thine orders;

74 may thy worshippers rejoice to see me waiting on thy word!

75 Just are thy dealings, I know, thou wert faithful in afflicting me;

76 but now console me with thy love, as thou has promised thy servant;

77 let thy compassion bring me life, for my delight is in thy law.

78 Confound the arrogant who illtreat me, as I muse on thy behests;

79 let thy worshippers learn how thou rulest, by turning to my case;

80 let my obedience to thee be perfect, that I may not be disgraced.

81 My soul pines for thy saving aid, I am waiting for thy promise;

82 I pine with looking for thy promises; when wilt thou comfort me?

83 Though shrivelled like a wineskin in the smoke, I never forget thine orders.

84 How few thy servant’s days? When wilt thou doom my persecutors?

85 Insolent creatures, reckless of thy law, they dig pitfalls for me;

86 help me against their wanton wiles, O faithful lawgiver!

87 They nearly made an end of me, but I would not give up thy laws;

88 as thou art loving, revive me, and I will do thy bidding.

89 O thou Eternal, evermore thy law stands fast in heaven,

90 thy faithful promise holds from age to age, sure upon earth;

91 thy rule and order last to-day, for all things are thy servants.

92 Unless thy law had been my comfort, I would have died in my misery;

93 never shall I forget thy laws, for they put new life into me.

94 Help me, for I am thine, I study thy behests;

95 the ungodly lie in wait to kill me, but I pay close heed to thine orders.

96 I see a limit to all things, but thy law has a mighty range.

97 Oh how I love thy law! I muse upon it all day long;

98 thy commands make me wiser than my foes; I am never without them.

99 I have more insight than all these oracles, for I muse on thine injunctions!

100 I know more than these sages, for I carry out thy behests!

101 I avoid all evil courses, that I may do thy bidding;

102 thou art my teacher, never do I swerve from thine instructions.

103 How sweet thy sayings are, sweeter than honey to the taste!

104 I learn sense from thy behests, learn to hate godless ways.

105 Thy law is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path;

106 I swore to follow thy just decrees, and I will do it;

107 revive me as thou hast promised, O Eternal, in my great misery.

108 Accept the vows I breathe to thee, and teach me thy decrees;

109 my life is ever in danger, but I never forget thy law;

110 ungodly men set snares for me, but I never give up thine orders.

111 I have a lasting heritage in thy commands, thy are my heart’s delight;

112 I set myself to execute thine orders ever, at every step.

113 I hate men who are half and half, I love thy law;

114 I await thy promise, thou my shield and shelter.

Begone, you villains, let me keep my God’s commands!

116 Uphold me, as thou hast promised, disappoint not my hope, but let me live;

117 hold me up safe, let me delight for ever in thy will.

118 Thou spurnest all who swerve from thy will, their notions end in nothing.

119 I count all the ungodly so much dross; I love thy rule and order;

120 my being shudders before thee, in awe of thy judgments.

121 Leave me not to be oppressed, for I have done right and justice;

122 pledge thy word to help me, let not the arrogant oppress me;

123 I pine with looking for thy rescue, for thy saving promise.

124 Deal in kindness with thy servant, teach thy laws to me;

125 instruct thy servant, let me understand thine orders.

126 High time for thee to act! – men break thy law;

127 but I love thy commands above all things, above solid gold;

128 I order all my life by thy behests, I hate all godless ways.

129 Thy laws are a wondrous mystery – my soul obeys them –

130 the interpretation of thy words enlightens and instructs the open-minded;

131 and I am open, eager, panting for thy commands.

132 Turn to me and have pity – it is due to those who love thee;

133 direct my steps as thou hast promised, free from evil influence;

134 deliver me from man’s oppression, that I may do thy behests.

135 Smile on thy servant, teach thy laws to me;

136 when men are disobedient to thy law, mine eyes stream with tears.

137 O thou Eternal, thou art just, thy sentences are true;

138 the rules thou has enjoined are just and absolutely sure.

139 Zeal carries me away, when my foes forget thy laws;

140 thy promises are tried and true, thy servant loves them;

141 I am weak and despised, but I never forget thy behests.

142 Thy justice is eternal justice, and thy law is truth itself;

143 trouble and anguish seize me, but thy commands are my comfort;

144 thy laws are ever just; let me know them and so live.

145 Answer me as I cry with all my heart, for I would obey thine orders;

146 I call to thee, O Eternal, help me, and I will do thy bidding.

147 I am up before the dawn to pray, waiting for thy promises;

148 I waken through the night to muse upon thy word;

149 oh listen – thou art kind; revive me – thou art just.

150 My pursuers draw near in malice, far away from thy law;

151 but, O Eternal, thou art near, all thy commands are true;

152 I have long seen that thy decrees are valid for all time.

153 Look at what I suffer, save me, for I never forget thy law;

154 take my part, avenge, revive me as thou hast promised.

155 The ungodly are far from help, for they have no mind to thy laws;

156 O Eternal, rich in pity, revive me – thou art just;

157 I never swerve from thy control, though many persecute and press me.

158 I loathe apostates when I see how they disobey thy law;

159 look at my own love for thy law, and in thy love revive me;

160 the sum of thy commands is truth, and all thy just commands are ever binding.

161 Nobles persecute me wantonly, but my heart stands in awe of thy commands.

162 I delight in thy promise, as in ample spoil;

163 ungodliness I hate and I abhor, but I do love thy law.

164 Seven times a day I praise thee for the justice of thy rule;

165 right well they fare who love thy law; their road is clear.

166 I do thy bidding, O Eternal, and I hope for thy deliverance;

167 my soul obeys thy laws, I love them dearly;

168 I obey thy laws and thy behests, I live all my life under thine eye.

169 Let my cry come before thee, O Eternal, and enlighten me as thou hast promised;

170 let my entreaty reach thee, and relieve me as thou hast promised.

171 Let my lips praise thee for teaching me thine orders;

172 let me sing of thy word, for just are all thy commands;

173 let thy hand come to my help, for I have chosen to obey thee.

174 I am longing for thy help, O thou Eternal, and thy law is my delight;

175 let me live that I may praise thee, help me by thy judgments;

176 seek out thy servant in his wanderings, for I forget not thy commands.
