# Chapter 119
|
||||
1 How happy are those whose way is blameless,
|
||||
who walk according to the Lord’s instruction!
|
||||
2 Happy are those who keep his decrees
|
||||
and seek him with all their heart.
|
||||
3 They do nothing wrong;
|
||||
they walk in his ways.
|
||||
4 You have commanded that your precepts
|
||||
be diligently kept.
|
||||
5 If only my ways were committed
|
||||
to keeping your statutes!
|
||||
6 Then I would not be ashamed
|
||||
when I think about all your commands.
|
||||
7 I will praise you with an upright heart
|
||||
when I learn your righteous judgments.
|
||||
8 I will keep your statutes;
|
||||
never abandon me.
|
||||
9 How can a young man keep his way pure?
|
||||
By keeping your word.
|
||||
10 I have sought you with all my heart;
|
||||
don’t let me wander from your commands.
|
||||
11 I have treasured your word in my heart
|
||||
so that I may not sin against you.
|
||||
12 Lord, may you be blessed;
|
||||
teach me your statutes.
|
||||
13 With my lips I proclaim
|
||||
all the judgments from your mouth.
|
||||
14 I rejoice in the way revealed by your decrees
|
||||
as much as in all riches.
|
||||
15 I will meditate on your precepts
|
||||
and think about your ways.
|
||||
16 I will delight in your statutes;
|
||||
I will not forget your word.
|
||||
17 Deal generously with your servant
|
||||
so that I might live;
|
||||
then I will keep your word.
|
||||
18 Open my eyes so that I may contemplate
|
||||
wondrous things from your instruction.
|
||||
19 I am a resident alien on earth;
|
||||
do not hide your commands from me.
|
||||
20 I am continually overcome
|
||||
with longing for your judgments.
|
||||
21 You rebuke the arrogant,
|
||||
the ones under a curse,
|
||||
who wander from your commands.
|
||||
22 Take insult and contempt away from me,
|
||||
for I have kept your decrees.
|
||||
23 Though princes sit together speaking against me,
|
||||
your servant will think about your statutes;
|
||||
24 your decrees are my delight
|
||||
and my counselors.
|
||||
25 My life is down in the dust;
|
||||
give me life through your word.
|
||||
26 I told you about my life,
|
||||
and you answered me;
|
||||
teach me your statutes.
|
||||
27 Help me understand
|
||||
the meaning of your precepts
|
||||
so that I can meditate on your wonders.
|
||||
28 I am weary from grief;
|
||||
strengthen me through your word.
|
||||
29 Keep me from the way of deceit
|
||||
and graciously give me your instruction.
|
||||
30 I have chosen the way of truth;
|
||||
I have set your ordinances before me.
|
||||
31 I cling to your decrees;
|
||||
Lord, do not put me to shame.
|
||||
32 I pursue the way of your commands,
|
||||
for you broaden my understanding.
|
||||
33 Teach me, Lord, the meaning of your statutes,
|
||||
and I will always keep them.
|
||||
34 Help me understand your instruction,
|
||||
and I will obey it
|
||||
and follow it with all my heart.
|
||||
35 Help me stay on the path of your commands,
|
||||
for I take pleasure in it.
|
||||
36 Turn my heart to your decrees
|
||||
and not to dishonest profit.
|
||||
37 Turn my eyes
|
||||
from looking at what is worthless;
|
||||
give me life in your ways.
|
||||
38 Confirm what you said to your servant,
|
||||
for it produces reverence for you.
|
||||
39 Turn away the disgrace I dread;
|
||||
indeed, your judgments are good.
|
||||
40 How I long for your precepts!
|
||||
Give me life through your righteousness.
|
||||
41 Let your faithful love come to me, Lord,
|
||||
your salvation, as you promised.
|
||||
42 Then I can answer the one who taunts me,
|
||||
for I trust in your word.
|
||||
43 Never take the word of truth from my mouth,
|
||||
for I hope in your judgments.
|
||||
44 I will always obey your instruction,
|
||||
forever and ever.
|
||||
45 I will walk freely in an open place
|
||||
because I study your precepts.
|
||||
46 I will speak of your decrees before kings
|
||||
and not be ashamed.
|
||||
47 I delight in your commands,
|
||||
which I love.
|
||||
48 I will lift up my hands to your commands,
|
||||
which I love,
|
||||
and will meditate on your statutes.
|
||||
49 Remember your word to your servant;
|
||||
you have given me hope through it.
|
||||
50 This is my comfort in my affliction:
|
||||
Your promise has given me life.
|
||||
51 The arrogant constantly ridicule me,
|
||||
but I do not turn away from your instruction.
|
||||
52 Lord, I remember your judgments from long ago
|
||||
and find comfort.
|
||||
53 Fury seizes me because of the wicked
|
||||
who reject your instruction.
|
||||
54 Your statutes are the theme of my song
|
||||
during my earthly life.
|
||||
55 Lord, I remember your name in the night,
|
||||
and I obey your instruction.
|
||||
56 This is my practice:
|
||||
I obey your precepts.
|
||||
57 The Lord is my portion;
|
||||
I have promised to keep your words.
|
||||
58 I have sought your favor with all my heart;
|
||||
be gracious to me according to your promise.
|
||||
59 I thought about my ways
|
||||
and turned my steps back to your decrees.
|
||||
60 I hurried, not hesitating
|
||||
to keep your commands.
|
||||
61 Though the ropes of the wicked
|
||||
were wrapped around me,
|
||||
I did not forget your instruction.
|
||||
62 I rise at midnight to thank you
|
||||
for your righteous judgments.
|
||||
63 I am a friend to all who fear you,
|
||||
to those who keep your precepts.
|
||||
64 Lord, the earth is filled with your faithful love;
|
||||
teach me your statutes.
|
||||
65 Lord, you have treated your servant well,
|
||||
just as you promised.
|
||||
66 Teach me good judgment and discernment,
|
||||
for I rely on your commands.
|
||||
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 The arrogant have smeared me with lies,
|
||||
but I obey your precepts with all my heart.
|
||||
70 Their hearts are hard and insensitive,
|
||||
but I delight in your instruction.
|
||||
71 It was good for me to be afflicted
|
||||
so that I could learn your statutes.
|
||||
72 Instruction from your lips is better for me
|
||||
than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
|
||||
73 Your hands made me and formed me;
|
||||
give me understanding
|
||||
so that I can learn your commands.
|
||||
74 Those who fear you will see me and rejoice,
|
||||
for I put my hope in your word.
|
||||
75 I know, Lord, that your judgments are just
|
||||
and that you have afflicted me fairly.
|
||||
76 May your faithful love comfort me
|
||||
as you promised your servant.
|
||||
77 May your compassion come to me
|
||||
so that I may live,
|
||||
for your instruction is my delight.
|
||||
78 Let the arrogant be put to shame
|
||||
for slandering me with lies;
|
||||
I will meditate on your precepts.
|
||||
79 Let those who fear you,
|
||||
those who know your decrees, turn to me.
|
||||
80 May my heart be blameless regarding your statutes
|
||||
so that I will not be put to shame.
|
||||
81 I long for your salvation;
|
||||
I put my hope in your word.
|
||||
82 My eyes grow weary
|
||||
looking for what you have promised;
|
||||
I ask, “When will you comfort me?”
|
||||
83 Though I have become like a wineskin dried 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;
|
||||
they violate your instruction.
|
||||
86 All your commands are true;
|
||||
people persecute me with lies—help me!
|
||||
87 They almost ended my life on earth,
|
||||
but I did not abandon your precepts.
|
||||
88 Give me life in accordance with your faithful love,
|
||||
and I will obey the decree you have spoken.
|
||||
89 Lord, your word is forever;
|
||||
it is firmly fixed in heaven.
|
||||
90 Your faithfulness is for all generations;
|
||||
you established the earth, and it stands firm.
|
||||
91 Your judgments stand firm today,
|
||||
for all things are your servants.
|
||||
92 If your instruction had not been my delight,
|
||||
I would have died in my affliction.
|
||||
93 I will never forget your precepts,
|
||||
for you have given me life through them.
|
||||
94 I am yours; save me,
|
||||
for I have studied your precepts.
|
||||
95 The wicked hope to destroy me,
|
||||
but I contemplate your decrees.
|
||||
96 I have seen a limit to all perfection,
|
||||
but your command is without limit.
|
||||
97 How I love your instruction!
|
||||
It is my meditation all day long.
|
||||
98 Your command makes me wiser than my enemies,
|
||||
for it is always with me.
|
||||
99 I have more insight than all my teachers
|
||||
because your decrees are my meditation.
|
||||
100 I understand more than the elders
|
||||
because I obey your precepts.
|
||||
101 I have kept my feet from every evil path
|
||||
to follow your word.
|
||||
102 I have not turned from your judgments,
|
||||
for you yourself have instructed me.
|
||||
103 How sweet your word is 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 for my feet
|
||||
and a light on my path.
|
||||
106 I have solemnly sworn
|
||||
to keep your righteous judgments.
|
||||
107 I am severely afflicted;
|
||||
Lord, give me life according to your word.
|
||||
108 Lord, please accept my freewill offerings of praise,
|
||||
and teach me your judgments.
|
||||
109 My life is constantly in danger,
|
||||
yet I do not forget your instruction.
|
||||
110 The wicked have set a trap for me,
|
||||
but I have not wandered from your precepts.
|
||||
111 I have your decrees as a heritage forever;
|
||||
indeed, they are the joy of my heart.
|
||||
112 I am resolved to obey your statutes
|
||||
to the very end.
|
||||
113 I hate those who are double-minded,
|
||||
but I love your instruction.
|
||||
114 You are my shelter and my shield;
|
||||
I put my hope in your word.
|
||||
115 Depart from me, you evil ones,
|
||||
so that I may obey my God’s commands.
|
||||
116 Sustain me as you promised, and I will live;
|
||||
do not let me be ashamed of my hope.
|
||||
117 Sustain me so that I can be safe
|
||||
and always be concerned about your statutes.
|
||||
118 You reject all who stray from your statutes,
|
||||
for their deceit is a lie.
|
||||
119 You remove all the wicked on earth
|
||||
as if they were dross from metal;
|
||||
therefore, I love your decrees.
|
||||
120 I tremble in awe of you;
|
||||
I fear your judgments.
|
||||
121 I have done what is just and right;
|
||||
do not leave me to my oppressors.
|
||||
122 Guarantee your servant’s well-being;
|
||||
do not let the arrogant oppress me.
|
||||
123 My eyes grow weary looking for your salvation
|
||||
and for your righteous promise.
|
||||
124 Deal with your servant based on your faithful love;
|
||||
teach me your statutes.
|
||||
125 I am your servant; give me understanding
|
||||
so that I may know your decrees.
|
||||
126 It is time for the Lord to act,
|
||||
for they have violated your instruction.
|
||||
127 Since I love your commands
|
||||
more than gold, even the purest gold,
|
||||
128 I carefully follow all your precepts
|
||||
and hate every false way.
|
||||
129 Your decrees are wondrous;
|
||||
therefore I obey them.
|
||||
130 The revelation of your words brings light
|
||||
and gives understanding to the inexperienced.
|
||||
131 I open my mouth and pant
|
||||
because I long for your commands.
|
||||
132 Turn to me and be gracious to me,
|
||||
as is your practice toward those who love your name.
|
||||
133 Make my steps steady through your promise;
|
||||
don’t let any sin dominate me.
|
||||
134 Redeem me from human oppression,
|
||||
and I will keep your precepts.
|
||||
135 Make your face shine on your servant,
|
||||
and teach me your statutes.
|
||||
136 My eyes pour out streams of tears
|
||||
because people do not follow your instruction.
|
||||
137 You are righteous, Lord,
|
||||
and your judgments are just.
|
||||
138 The decrees you issue are righteous
|
||||
and altogether trustworthy.
|
||||
139 My anger overwhelms me
|
||||
because my foes forget your words.
|
||||
140 Your word is completely pure,
|
||||
and your servant loves it.
|
||||
141 I am insignificant and despised,
|
||||
but I do not forget your precepts.
|
||||
142 Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,
|
||||
and your instruction is true.
|
||||
143 Trouble and distress have overtaken me,
|
||||
but your commands are my delight.
|
||||
144 Your decrees are righteous forever.
|
||||
Give me understanding, and I will live.
|
||||
145 I call with all my heart; answer me, Lord.
|
||||
I will obey your statutes.
|
||||
146 I call to you; save me,
|
||||
and I will keep your decrees.
|
||||
147 I rise before dawn and cry out for help;
|
||||
I put my hope in your word.
|
||||
148 I am awake through each watch of the night
|
||||
to meditate on your promise.
|
||||
149 In keeping with your faithful love, hear my voice.
|
||||
Lord, give me life in keeping with your justice.
|
||||
150 Those who pursue evil plans come near;
|
||||
they are far from your instruction.
|
||||
151 You are near, Lord,
|
||||
and all your commands are true.
|
||||
152 Long ago I learned from your decrees
|
||||
that you have established them forever.
|
||||
153 Consider my affliction and rescue me,
|
||||
for I have not forgotten your instruction.
|
||||
154 Champion my cause and redeem me;
|
||||
give me life as you promised.
|
||||
155 Salvation is far from the wicked
|
||||
because they do not study your statutes.
|
||||
156 Your compassions are many, Lord;
|
||||
give me life according to your judgments.
|
||||
157 My persecutors and foes are many.
|
||||
I have not turned from your decrees.
|
||||
158 I have seen the disloyal and feel disgust
|
||||
because they do not keep your word.
|
||||
159 Consider how I love your precepts;
|
||||
Lord, give me life according to your faithful love.
|
||||
160 The entirety of your word is truth,
|
||||
each of your righteous judgments endures forever.
|
||||
161 Princes have persecuted me without cause,
|
||||
but my heart fears only your word.
|
||||
162 I rejoice over your promise
|
||||
like one who finds vast treasure.
|
||||
163 I hate and abhor falsehood,
|
||||
but I love your instruction.
|
||||
164 I praise you seven times a day
|
||||
for your righteous judgments.
|
||||
165 Abundant peace belongs to those
|
||||
who love your instruction;
|
||||
nothing makes them stumble.
|
||||
166 Lord, I hope for your salvation
|
||||
and carry out your commands.
|
||||
167 I obey your decrees
|
||||
and love them greatly.
|
||||
168 I obey your precepts and decrees,
|
||||
for all my ways are before you.
|
||||
169 Let my cry reach you, Lord;
|
||||
give me understanding according to your word.
|
||||
170 Let my plea reach you;
|
||||
rescue me according to your promise.
|
||||
171 My lips pour out praise,
|
||||
for you teach me your statutes.
|
||||
172 My tongue sings about your promise,
|
||||
for all your commands are righteous.
|
||||
173 May your hand be ready to help me,
|
||||
for I have chosen your precepts.
|
||||
174 I long for your salvation, Lord,
|
||||
and your instruction is my delight.
|
||||
175 Let me live, and I will praise you;
|
||||
may your judgments help me.
|
||||
176 I wander like a lost sheep;
|
||||
seek your servant,
|
||||
for I do not forget your commands.
