119 ALEPH

 How fortunate are those about whom no one can say truthfully that they have done things that are wrong!

Those are the people who always obey Yahweh’s instructions.

2 How fortunate are those who do what he tells them to do!

Those are the people who sincerely want to know him.

3 They certainly do not want to cheat other people;

they live in a way that pleases Yahweh.

4 Yahweh, you have given us your instructions

so that we would carefully obey them.

5 I want very much to continually obey everything that you command!

6 If I did that, then I would not be ashamed

when I think about everything that you command.

7 As I learn all of your just regulations,

I thank you sincerely.

8 I will obey your regulations;

do not desert me!

in order to not sin against you.

12 Yahweh, I praise you;

teach me your rules.

13 I have proclaimed to the people all of the things that you have commanded us to do.

14 I delight in obeying your instructions;

I enjoy that more than being very rich.

I will not forget what you have said.

GIMEL

in order that I may continue to live and obey you.

18 Help me to understand

how wonderful your instructions are.

19 I am living here on the earth for only a short time;

please let me know your instructions.

20 I am weak from constantly desiring to know your instructions.

21 You rebuke people who are proud;

you curse people who disobey your commands.

22 Do not allow them to continue to insult and scorn me;

I request this because I have obeyed what you have required.

23 Rulers gather together and plan ways to harm me,

but I, your servant, will meditate on what you have commanded me.

24 Yes, I am delighted with your requirements;

they are like good advisors for me.

DALETH

25 Sometimes I feel like I will soon die;

allow me to live as you have told me that you would do.

26 When I told you about what was happening with me, you responded to me;

teach me the things that you want me to do.

27 Help me to understand how you want me to behave,

and then I can think about how amazing your instructions are.

28 I am very sad, with the result that I am becoming weak;

enable me to be strong again through a message from you.

29 Prevent me from telling lies,

and be kind to me by teaching me your instructions.

30 I have decided that I will faithfully obey you;

I know that what you say is right.

31 Yahweh, I try to carefully obey what you say;

please do not allow me to do anything shameful.

32 I eagerly obey your instructions

because you help me increasingly to understand how they benefit me.

33 Yahweh, teach me what your regulations mean,

and then I will always obey them.

34 Help me to understand your instructions

so that I may eagerly obey them.

35 I am happy to do the things that you command,

so teach me the best way to obey them.

36 Cause me to want to do what you say

rather than to want to get things that belong to other people.

37 Do not allow me to desire things that are not good for me;

make me able to live as you want me to live.

38 Please do what you promised to do for me, your servant.

Your promises are what cause people to deeply revere you.

39 I become afraid when my enemies insult me for obeying you;

so please stop them,

because it is good to do what you tell us to do.

40 Indeed, I very much desire to obey what you have declared that we should do!

Because you are righteous, please make me joyful again in living for you.

WAW

41 Then I will know that you faithfully love me, Yahweh;

and that you will save me as you promised that you would do.

42 After you do that, I will be able to reply to those who insult me

because I trust what you have said.

43 Please do allow me to truthfully tell them how you saved me;

you see, I am patiently waiting for you to act justly.

44 I will consistently obey your instructions,

for as long as I live.

I love to do them.

48 I eagerly ask to receive more of your commandments.

I love them,

and I will think deeply about everything that you require us to do.

ZAYIN

49 Please do what you said you would do for me, the one who serves you,

because what you have said has caused me to confidently expect good things from you.

50 When I am suffering, your promise to me comforts me;

knowing that you will do what you have said makes me joyful again in living for you.

51 Proud people are always making fun of me,

but I do not stop obeying your instructions.

52 Yahweh, I think about your regulations that you gave to us long ago.

Doing that comforts me.

53 When I see wicked people disregard your instructions,

I become very angry.

54 During this short time that I am living here on the earth,

the regulations that you have given to us are like music to me.

55 Yahweh, even during the night I think about you,

so that I always obey your instructions.

56 This is what I do;

I obey your regulations.

HETH

57 Yahweh, you have granted to me that I would belong to you,

and I promise to obey what you tell me to do.

58 I earnestly plead with you to be good to me;

act kindly to me as you promised that you would do.

59 I think about my behavior,

and when it is wrong, I once again obey what you tell me to do.

60 When I understand your instructions,

I do them immediately.

61 Wicked people try to make me do bad things,

but I continue to obey your instructions.

62 In the middle of the night I get up,

in order to praise you

because everything that you say is completely right.

63 I am a friend of all those who deeply revere you,

yes, to all those who obey what you tell us to do.

64 Yahweh, you faithfully love people all over the earth;

please continue to teach me how you want people to live.

TETH

65 Yahweh, you have done good things for me, your servant,

just as you promised that you would do.

66 Teach me to understand what is happening around me and to think carefully before I decide what to do,

because I believe that the best way to live is to obey what you tell us to do.

67 Before you afflicted me, I did things that were wrong,

but now I obey what you say to do.

68 You are good, and what you do is good;

teach me the good things that you have told us to do.

69 Proud people tell many lies about me,

but as for me, I enthusiastically obey what you have told us to do.

70 Those people are stupid,

but as for me, I happily obey your instructions.

71 It was good for me that you afflicted me

because the result was that I learned how good your regulations are.

72 The instructions that you give to us are beneficial to me.

They are more beneficial than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.

YODH

73 You created me and made me who I am;

please help me to be wise so that I may learn to obey what you tell me to do.

74 I want everyone who deeply reveres you to see what you have done for me.

Then they will be glad, because they will see how good it is that I have trusted you to do what you said.

75 Yahweh, I know that when you judge people, you are always right.

I know that you have made me suffer only because you faithfully love me.

76 Please comfort me by showing that you faithfully love me

as you said to me, your servant, that you would do.

77 I want you to act mercifully to me in order that I may continue to live,

because I am delighted with your instruction.

78 Cause the proud people who falsely accuse me to be ashamed;

but as for me, I will continue meditating on what you have commanded that I should do.

79 Cause those who deeply revere you to come to me

in order that they may learn what you say to us.

80 Enable me to want to perfectly obey your regulations

in order that I may not be ashamed because of not doing that.

KAPH

81 I desperately long for you to save me from my enemies,

but I will wait, knowing that you will answer my prayer.

82 My eyes are tired from watching for you to do what you promised that you would do,

and I ask, “When will you help me?”

83 Indeed, I feel as weak and useless as a wineskin that is shriveled up from hanging a long time in the smoke,

but I have not forgotten your regulations.

84 I, your servant, cannot wait any longer!

I want you to punish those who persecute me soon!

85 It is as though my proud enemies have dug deep pits for me to fall into.

These people disobey your instructions to us.

86 Everything that you tell us to do is truly good for us;

but people are persecuting me by telling lies about me, so please help me!

87 Those people have come very close to killing me,

but as for me, I have not stopped obeying what you have told us to do.

88 Because you faithfully love me, allow me to continue to live

so that I may continue to obey what you have instructed us to do.

LAMEDH

89 Yahweh, what you have proclaimed is eternal;

it exists forever in heaven.

90 You will continue to act faithfully for people of every generation;

you have put the earth in its place, and it remains firmly there.

91 To this day, all things on the earth remain because you decided that they should remain;

that is because everything on the earth serves you.

92 If I had not been delighted to obey your instructions,

then I would have died because of what I was suffering.

93 I will always remember what you have declared that we should do.

I obeyed those things, and as a result, you have enabled me to continue to live.

94 I belong to you; please save me from my enemies

because I intentionally obey what you have declared that we should do.

95 Wicked men are waiting to ambush and kill me,

but I think about what you have instructed us to do.

96 I have learned that there is a limit to even the best that people can achieve,

but what you decree is limitless.

MEM

97 I love your instructions very much!

I meditate on them throughout the day.

98 Because I know what you have told us to do

and because I think about those things all the time,

I have become wiser than my enemies.

99 I understand more than any of my teachers do

because I continually think about everything that you tell us.

100 I behave more intelligently than many old people do

because I obey what you have declared that we should do.

101 I have avoided all evil behavior

in order that I may obey what you have told us to do.

102 I have not stopped obeying your regulations

because you are the one who taught them to me.

103 When I read your words,

it is like eating something sweet;

yes, it is even better than eating honey!

104 Because I have learned what you have declared that we should do,

I am able to understand many things;

therefore, I hate all evil activities.

NUN

105 Your instruction is like a lamp that guides me;

yes, it is like a light that shows me where to walk.

106 I have solemnly promised, and I am solemnly promising it again,

that I will always obey your regulations;

they are always right.

107 Yahweh, I am suffering very much;

cause me to be strong again as you have promised to do.

108 Yahweh, sometimes the sacrifices that I offer to you are just my prayers to thank and praise you.

Please accept them,

and teach me the things that you tell us to do.

109 My enemies are constantly trying to kill me,

but I do not forget your instructions.

110 Wicked people have tried to seize me as a hunter tries to catch little animals with a trap,

but I have not disobeyed what you declared that we should do.

111 You have given me your instructions and they are mine forever;

Indeed, they are what make me joyful.

112 I have determined that I will always obey your commands as long as I live, to the very end.

SAMEKH

113 I hate people who cannot decide what to commit to,

but I love your instructions.

114 You are like a place where I can hide from my enemies,

and you are like a shield behind which I am protected from them;

I will wait, knowing that you will answer my prayer.

115 You people who do evil things, go away from me

so that I may obey what my God has commanded!

116 Please enable me to be strong as you promised that you would do,

in order that I may continue to live.

I am confidently expecting that you will restore me;

please do not disappoint me.

117 Please take care of me so that I can be safe

and so that I can always pay attention to what you have decreed that we should do.

118 You despise everyone who disregards what you have decreed that we should do;

indeed, they deceive others by lying.

119 You get rid of all the wicked people on the earth as people get rid of trash;

therefore, I love what you say to us.

120 I tremble because I am afraid of you;

I am afraid because you punish those who do not obey the rules that you have given to us.

AYIN

121 But I have done what is right and fair;

so please do not allow people to oppress me.

122 Please ensure that good things will happen for me, your servant,

and do not allow proud people to oppress me.

123 My eyes are tired from watching for you to save me,

yes, from watching for you to do what is right, as you promised to do.

124 Please do things for me, your servant, to show that you faithfully love me,

and teach me how to do what you have decreed that we should do.

125 I am one who serves you;

please enable me to understand what you want me to know

in order that I may learn what you have instructed us to do.

126 Yahweh, you should punish people now

because they have disobeyed your laws.

127 Because I do not want to be like those people, I love your instructions more than I love gold;

I love them more than I love very pure gold.

128 So I am careful to obey everything that you have declared that we should do,

and I hate all of the evil things that people do.

129 All the things that you have instructed us to do are wonderful,

so I obey them enthusiastically.

130 When someone explains what you have said to us,

it is as though he is opening a door to a bright light that allows people to see what they did not see before;

what he says causes even people who have not studied your instructions to be wise.

131 I eagerly desire to know what you have commanded us,

as eagerly as though I were panting for food and water.

132 Pay attention to me and act kindly to me

as is right for you to do for all those who love you.

133 Please guide me by your instructions;

do not allow me to desire to do sinful things more than to obey you.

134 Rescue me from the people who oppress me

so that I may obey what you have declared that we should do.

135 Please act kindly toward me, your servant,

and teach me what you have decreed that we should do.

136 I cry very much

because many people do not obey your instructions.

TSADHE

137 Yahweh, you are righteous

and the rules that you have given to us are just.

138 All of the things that you have instructed us to do are absolutely right

and exactly what we need.

139 I am furious

because my enemies disregard what you have told us to do.

140 All of the things that you have said are perfectly dependable,

and I, your servant, love them.

141 I am not important, and people despise me,

but I do not forget what you have declared that we should do.

142 You are righteous and you will be righteous forever,

and your instructions are completely reliable.

143 I am constantly stressed and anxious,

but what you have commanded us causes me to rejoice.

144 All of the things that you have instructed us to do are always right;

help me to understand them in order that I may continue to live.

QOPH

145 Yahweh, fervently I call out to you; please answer me!

I fully intend to obey what you have decreed that we should do.

146 I call out to you, “Save me,

in order that I may obey the things that you have instructed us to do.”

147 Each morning I arise before dawn and call to you to help me;

I confidently wait for you to do what you have promised to do.

148 All during the night I am awake,

so that I can think about what you have said to us.

149 Yahweh, because you faithfully love me,

please listen to me while I pray;

because you do what is right, make me joyful again in living for you.

150 People who intend to harm me are approaching me;

they completely disregard your instructions.

151 But Yahweh, you are near to me,

and I know that what you command is completely right.

152 Long ago, I learned from what you have said

that you established your commandments to last forever.

RESH

153 Please acknowledge that I am suffering, and save me from it,

because I continually obey your instructions.

154 Defend me when others accuse me and rescue me from them;

allow me to continue to live as you promised that you would do.

155 Wicked people do not obey what you have decreed that we should do,

so you will certainly not save them.

156 Yahweh, you are constantly being merciful to me in many ways;

because you always do what is right, please allow me to continue to live.

157 Many people cause me to suffer,

but I continue to obey what you have instructed us to do.

158 When I look at those who are not faithful to you, I feel disgust

because they do not obey what you have instructed us to do.

159 Yahweh, please notice that I love what you have declared that we should do;

because you faithfully love me, please allow me to continue to live.

160 Everything that you have said is true;

every statement that you have made is right and will endure forever.

SIN and SHIN

161 Rulers persecute me for no reason,

but I deeply respect your words.

162 The things that you say make me very happy,

as happy as someone who has found a great treasure.

163 I thoroughly hate all lies

but I love your instructions.

164 I praise you throughout the day

because everything that you tell us to do is completely right.

165 Those who love your instructions live very peacefully;

they will continually do the right thing.

166 Yahweh, I confidently expect that you will rescue me,

and I obey what you have commanded us.

167 I obey what you have told us to do;

I love all of it very much.

168 I obey what you have instructed us to do,

because you know everything that I do.

TAW

169 Yahweh, please listen as I call out to you to help me;

help me to understand your message, as you said that you would do.

170 Please pay attention to me while I pray to you to help me,

and rescue me as you said that you would do.

171 I intend to continue praising you abundantly

because you teach me what you have told us to do.

172 I intend to continue singing about your instructions

because everything that you command us to do is right.

173 Please be always ready to help me

because I have chosen to obey what you have declared that we should do.

174 Yahweh, I eagerly desire for you to rescue me from my enemies,

and I greatly enjoy your instructions.

175 Please allow me to continue to live in order that I may continue to praise you

and may the things that you tell us to do continue to help me.

176 I am as vulnerable as a sheep that has left its flock;

please search for me, your servant, because I have not forgotten what you have commanded us.
