# Chapter 119
|
||||
1 Blessed are those whose way is blameless,
|
||||
who walk in the law of the Lord!
|
||||
2 Blessed are those who keep his testimonies,
|
||||
who seek him with their whole heart,
|
||||
3 who also do no wrong,
|
||||
but walk in his ways!
|
||||
4 You have commanded your precepts
|
||||
to be kept diligently.
|
||||
5 Oh that my ways may be steadfast
|
||||
in keeping your statutes!
|
||||
6 Then I shall not be put to shame,
|
||||
having my eyes fixed on all your commandments.
|
||||
7 I will praise you with an upright heart,
|
||||
when I learn your righteous rules.
|
||||
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 my whole heart I seek you;
|
||||
let me not wander from your commandments!
|
||||
11 I have stored up 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 declare
|
||||
all the rules of your mouth.
|
||||
14 In the way of your testimonies I delight
|
||||
as much as in all riches.
|
||||
15 I will meditate on your precepts
|
||||
and fix my eyes on your ways.
|
||||
16 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.
|
||||
18 Open my eyes, that I may behold
|
||||
wondrous things out of your law.
|
||||
19 I am a sojourner on the earth;
|
||||
hide not your commandments from me!
|
||||
20 My soul is consumed with longing
|
||||
for your rules at all times.
|
||||
21 You rebuke the insolent, accursed ones,
|
||||
who wander from your commandments.
|
||||
22 Take away from me scorn and contempt,
|
||||
for I have kept your testimonies.
|
||||
23 Even though princes sit plotting against me,
|
||||
your servant will meditate on your statutes.
|
||||
24 Your testimonies are my delight;
|
||||
they are my counselors.
|
||||
25 My soul clings to the dust;
|
||||
give me life according to your word!
|
||||
26 When I told of my ways, you answered me;
|
||||
teach me your statutes!
|
||||
27 Make me understand the way of your precepts,
|
||||
and I will meditate on your wondrous works.
|
||||
28 My soul melts away for sorrow;
|
||||
strengthen me according to your word!
|
||||
29 Put false ways far from me
|
||||
and graciously teach me your law!
|
||||
30 I have chosen the way of faithfulness;
|
||||
I set your rules before me.
|
||||
31 I cling to your testimonies, O Lord;
|
||||
let me not be put to shame!
|
||||
32 I will run in the way of your commandments
|
||||
when you enlarge my heart!
|
||||
33 Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes;
|
||||
and I will keep it to the end.
|
||||
34 Give me understanding, that I may keep your law
|
||||
and observe it with my whole heart.
|
||||
35 Lead me in the path of your commandments,
|
||||
for I delight in it.
|
||||
36 Incline my heart to your testimonies,
|
||||
and not to selfish gain!
|
||||
37 Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things;
|
||||
and give me life in your ways.
|
||||
38 Confirm to your servant your promise,
|
||||
that you may be feared.
|
||||
39 Turn away the reproach that I dread,
|
||||
for your rules are good.
|
||||
40 Behold, I long for your precepts;
|
||||
in your righteousness give me life!
|
||||
41 Let your steadfast love come to me, O Lord,
|
||||
your salvation according to your promise;
|
||||
42 then shall I have an answer for him who taunts me,
|
||||
for I trust in your word.
|
||||
43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth,
|
||||
for my hope is in your rules.
|
||||
44 I will keep your law continually,
|
||||
forever and ever,
|
||||
45 and I shall walk in a wide place,
|
||||
for I have sought your precepts.
|
||||
46 I will also speak of your testimonies before kings
|
||||
and shall not be put to shame,
|
||||
47 for I find my delight in your commandments,
|
||||
which I love.
|
||||
48 I will lift up my hands toward your commandments, which I love,
|
||||
and I will meditate on your statutes.
|
||||
49 Remember your word to your servant,
|
||||
in which you have made me hope.
|
||||
50 This is my comfort in my affliction,
|
||||
that your promise gives me life.
|
||||
51 The insolent utterly deride me,
|
||||
but I do not turn away from your law.
|
||||
52 When I think of your rules from of old,
|
||||
I take comfort, O Lord.
|
||||
53 Hot indignation seizes me because of the wicked,
|
||||
who forsake your law.
|
||||
54 Your statutes have been my songs
|
||||
in the house of my sojourning.
|
||||
55 I remember your name in the night, O Lord,
|
||||
and keep your law.
|
||||
56 This blessing has fallen to me,
|
||||
that I have kept your precepts.
|
||||
57 The Lord is my portion;
|
||||
I promise to keep your words.
|
||||
58 I entreat your favor with all my heart;
|
||||
be gracious to me according to your promise.
|
||||
59 When I think on my ways,
|
||||
I turn my feet to your testimonies;
|
||||
60 I hasten and do not delay
|
||||
to keep your commandments.
|
||||
61 Though the cords of the wicked ensnare me,
|
||||
I do not forget your law.
|
||||
62 At midnight I rise to praise you,
|
||||
because of your righteous rules.
|
||||
63 I am a companion of all who fear you,
|
||||
of those who keep your precepts.
|
||||
64 The earth, O Lord, is full of your steadfast love;
|
||||
teach me your statutes!
|
||||
65 You have dealt well with 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 do good;
|
||||
teach me your statutes.
|
||||
69 The insolent smear me with lies,
|
||||
but with my whole heart I keep your precepts;
|
||||
70 their heart is unfeeling like fat,
|
||||
but I delight in your law.
|
||||
71 It is good for me that I was afflicted,
|
||||
that I might learn your statutes.
|
||||
72 The law of your mouth is better to me
|
||||
than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
|
||||
73 Your hands have made and fashioned me;
|
||||
give me understanding that I may learn your commandments.
|
||||
74 Those who fear you shall see me and rejoice,
|
||||
because I have hoped in your word.
|
||||
75 I know, O Lord, that your rules are righteous,
|
||||
and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
|
||||
76 Let your steadfast love comfort me
|
||||
according to your promise to your servant.
|
||||
77 Let your mercy come to me, that I may live;
|
||||
for your law is my delight.
|
||||
78 Let the insolent be put to shame,
|
||||
because they have wronged me with falsehood;
|
||||
as for me, I will meditate on your precepts.
|
||||
79 Let those who fear you turn to me,
|
||||
that they may know your testimonies.
|
||||
80 May my heart be blameless in your statutes,
|
||||
that I may not be put to shame!
|
||||
81 My soul longs for your salvation;
|
||||
I hope in your word.
|
||||
82 My eyes long for your promise;
|
||||
I ask, “When will you comfort me?”
|
||||
83 For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke,
|
||||
yet I have not forgotten your statutes.
|
||||
84 How long must your servant endure?
|
||||
When will you judge those who persecute me?
|
||||
85 The insolent have dug pitfalls for me;
|
||||
they do not live according to your law.
|
||||
86 All your commandments are sure;
|
||||
they persecute me with falsehood; help me!
|
||||
87 They have almost made an end of me on earth,
|
||||
but I have not forsaken your precepts.
|
||||
88 In your steadfast love give me life,
|
||||
that I may keep the testimonies of your mouth.
|
||||
89 Forever, O Lord, your word
|
||||
is firmly fixed in the heavens.
|
||||
90 Your faithfulness endures to all generations;
|
||||
you have established the earth, and it stands fast.
|
||||
91 By your appointment they stand this day,
|
||||
for all things are your servants.
|
||||
92 If your law had not been my delight,
|
||||
I would have perished in my affliction.
|
||||
93 I will never forget your precepts,
|
||||
for by them you have given me life.
|
||||
94 I am yours; save me,
|
||||
for I have sought your precepts.
|
||||
95 The wicked lie in wait to destroy me,
|
||||
but I consider your testimonies.
|
||||
96 I have seen a limit to all perfection,
|
||||
but your commandment is exceedingly broad.
|
||||
97 Oh how I love your law!
|
||||
It is my meditation all the day.
|
||||
98 Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies,
|
||||
for it is ever with me.
|
||||
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers,
|
||||
for your testimonies are my meditation.
|
||||
100 I understand more than the aged,
|
||||
for I keep your precepts.
|
||||
101 I hold back my feet from every evil way,
|
||||
in order to keep your word.
|
||||
102 I do not turn aside from your rules,
|
||||
for you have taught me.
|
||||
103 How sweet are your words to my taste,
|
||||
sweeter than honey to my mouth!
|
||||
104 Through your precepts I get understanding;
|
||||
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 an oath and confirmed it,
|
||||
to keep your righteous rules.
|
||||
107 I am severely afflicted;
|
||||
give me life, O Lord, according to your word!
|
||||
108 Accept my freewill offerings of praise, O Lord,
|
||||
and teach me your rules.
|
||||
109 I hold my life in my hand continually,
|
||||
but I do not forget your law.
|
||||
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me,
|
||||
but I do not stray from your precepts.
|
||||
111 Your testimonies are my heritage forever,
|
||||
for they are the joy of my heart.
|
||||
112 I incline my heart to perform your statutes
|
||||
forever, to the end.
|
||||
113 I hate the double-minded,
|
||||
but I love your law.
|
||||
114 You are my hiding place and my shield;
|
||||
I hope in your word.
|
||||
115 Depart from me, you evildoers,
|
||||
that I may keep the commandments of my God.
|
||||
116 Uphold me according to your promise, that I may live,
|
||||
and let me not be put to shame in my hope!
|
||||
117 Hold me up, that I may be safe
|
||||
and have regard for your statutes continually!
|
||||
118 You spurn all who go astray from your statutes,
|
||||
for their cunning is in vain.
|
||||
119 All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross,
|
||||
therefore I love your testimonies.
|
||||
120 My flesh trembles for fear of you,
|
||||
and I am afraid of your judgments.
|
||||
121 I have done what is just and right;
|
||||
do not leave me to my oppressors.
|
||||
122 Give your servant a pledge of good;
|
||||
let not the insolent oppress me.
|
||||
123 My eyes long for your salvation
|
||||
and for the fulfillment of your righteous promise.
|
||||
124 Deal with your servant according to your steadfast love,
|
||||
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 your law has been broken.
|
||||
127 Therefore I love your commandments
|
||||
above gold, above fine gold.
|
||||
128 Therefore I consider all your precepts to be right;
|
||||
I hate every false way.
|
||||
129 Your testimonies are wonderful;
|
||||
therefore my soul keeps them.
|
||||
130 The unfolding of your words gives light;
|
||||
it imparts understanding to the simple.
|
||||
131 I open my mouth and pant,
|
||||
because I long for your commandments.
|
||||
132 Turn to me and be gracious to me,
|
||||
as is your way with those who love your name.
|
||||
133 Keep steady my steps according to your promise,
|
||||
and let no iniquity get dominion over me.
|
||||
134 Redeem me from man's oppression,
|
||||
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 people do not keep your law.
|
||||
137 Righteous are you, O Lord,
|
||||
and right are your rules.
|
||||
138 You have appointed your testimonies in righteousness
|
||||
and in all faithfulness.
|
||||
139 My zeal consumes me,
|
||||
because my foes forget your words.
|
||||
140 Your promise is well tried,
|
||||
and your servant loves it.
|
||||
141 I am small and despised,
|
||||
yet I do not forget your precepts.
|
||||
142 Your righteousness is righteous forever,
|
||||
and your law is true.
|
||||
143 Trouble and anguish have found me out,
|
||||
but your commandments are my delight.
|
||||
144 Your testimonies are righteous forever;
|
||||
give me understanding that I may live.
|
||||
145 With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O Lord!
|
||||
I will keep your statutes.
|
||||
146 I call to you; save me,
|
||||
that I may observe your testimonies.
|
||||
147 I rise before dawn and cry for help;
|
||||
I hope in your words.
|
||||
148 My eyes are awake before the watches of the night,
|
||||
that I may meditate on your promise.
|
||||
149 Hear my voice according to your steadfast love;
|
||||
O Lord, according to your justice give me life.
|
||||
150 They draw near who persecute me with evil purpose;
|
||||
they are far from your law.
|
||||
151 But you are near, O Lord,
|
||||
and all your commandments are true.
|
||||
152 Long have I known from your testimonies
|
||||
that you have founded them forever.
|
||||
153 Look on my affliction and deliver me,
|
||||
for I do not forget your law.
|
||||
154 Plead my cause and redeem me;
|
||||
give me life according to your promise!
|
||||
155 Salvation is far from the wicked,
|
||||
for they do not seek your statutes.
|
||||
156 Great is your mercy, O Lord;
|
||||
give me life according to your rules.
|
||||
157 Many are my persecutors and my adversaries,
|
||||
but I do not swerve from your testimonies.
|
||||
158 I look at the faithless with disgust,
|
||||
because they do not keep your commands.
|
||||
159 Consider how I love your precepts!
|
||||
Give me life according to your steadfast love.
|
||||
160 The sum of your word is truth,
|
||||
and every one of your righteous rules endures forever.
|
||||
161 Princes persecute me without cause,
|
||||
but my heart stands in awe of your words.
|
||||
162 I rejoice at your word
|
||||
like one who finds great spoil.
|
||||
163 I hate and abhor falsehood,
|
||||
but I love your law.
|
||||
164 Seven times a day I praise you
|
||||
for your righteous rules.
|
||||
165 Great peace have those who love your law;
|
||||
nothing can make them stumble.
|
||||
166 I hope for your salvation, O Lord,
|
||||
and I do your commandments.
|
||||
167 My soul keeps your testimonies;
|
||||
I love them exceedingly.
|
||||
168 I keep your precepts and testimonies,
|
||||
for all my ways are before you.
|
||||
169 Let my cry come before you, O Lord;
|
||||
give me understanding according to your word!
|
||||
170 Let my plea come before you;
|
||||
deliver me according to your word.
|
||||
171 My lips will pour forth praise,
|
||||
for you teach me your statutes.
|
||||
172 My tongue will sing of your word,
|
||||
for all your commandments are right.
|
||||
173 Let your hand be ready to help me,
|
||||
for I have chosen your precepts.
|
||||
174 I long for your salvation, O Lord,
|
||||
and your law is my delight.
|
||||
175 Let my soul live and praise you,
|
||||
and let your rules help me.
|
||||
176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant,
|
||||
for I do not forget your commandments.
