Psalms 119:89-176 ASV

89 For ever, O Jehovah, Thy word is settled in heaven.

90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: Thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.

91 They abide this day according to thine ordinances; For all things are thy servants.

92 Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction.

93 I will never forget thy precepts; For with them thou hast quickened me.

94 I am thine, save me; For I have sought thy precepts.

95 The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me; But I will consider thy testimonies. MEM.

96 I have seen an end of all perfection; But thy commandment is exceeding broad.

97 Oh how love I thy law! It is my meditation all the day.

98 Thy commandments make me wiser than mine enemies; For they are ever with me.

99 I have more understanding than all my teachers; For thy testimonies are my meditation.

100 I understand more than the aged, Because I have kept thy precepts.

101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, That I might observe thy word.

102 I have not turned aside from thine ordinances; For thou hast taught me.

103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: Therefore I hate every false way. NUN.

105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And light unto my path.

106 I have sworn, and have confirmed it, That I will observe thy righteous ordinances.

107 I am afflicted very much: Quicken me, O Jehovah, according unto thy word.

108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill-offerings of my mouth, O Jehovah, And teach me thine ordinances.

109 My soul is continually in my hand; Yet do I not forget thy law.

110 The wicked have laid a snare for me; Yet have I not gone astray from thy precepts.

111 Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever; For they are the rejoicing of my heart.

112 I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes For ever, even unto the end. SAMEKH.

113 I hate them that are of a double mind; But thy law do I love.

114 Thou art my hiding-place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

115 Depart from me, ye evil-doers, That I may keep the commandments of my God.

116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live; And let me not be ashamed of my hope.

117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe, And shall have respect unto thy statutes continually.

118 Thou hast set at nought all them that err from thy statutes; For their deceit is falsehood.

119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: Therefore I love thy testimonies.

120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; And I am afraid of thy judgments. AYIN.

121 I have done justice and righteousness: Leave me not to mine oppressors.

122 Be surety for thy servant for good: Let not the proud oppress me.

123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, And for thy righteous word.

124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy lovingkindness, And teach me thy statutes.

125 I am thy servant; give me understanding, That I may know thy testimonies.

126 It is time for Jehovah to work; For they have made void thy law.

127 Therefore I love thy commandments Above gold, yea, above fine gold.

128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; And I hate every false way. 

129 Thy testimonies are wonderful; Therefore doth my soul keep them.

130 The opening of thy words giveth light; It giveth understanding unto the simple.

131 I opened wide my mouth, and panted; For I longed for thy commandments.

132 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me, As thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.

133 Establish my footsteps in thy word; And let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

134 Redeem me from the oppression of man: So will I observe thy precepts.

135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; And teach me thy statutes.

136 Streams of water run down mine eyes, Because they observe not thy law. TSADHE.

137 Righteous art thou, O Jehovah, And upright are thy judgments.

138 Thou hast commanded thy testimonies in righteousness And very faithfulness.

139 My zeal hath consumed me, Because mine adversaries have forgotten thy words.

140 Thy word is very pure; Therefore thy servant loveth it.

141 I am small and despised; Yet do I not forget thy precepts.

142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And thy law is truth.

143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me; Yet thy commandments are my delight.

144 Thy testimonies are righteous for ever: Give me understanding, and I shall live. QOPH.

145 I have called with my whole heart; answer me, O Jehovah: I will keep thy statutes.

146 I have called unto thee; save me, And I shall observe thy testimonies.

147 I anticipated the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy words.

148 Mine eyes anticipated the night-watches, That I might meditate on thy word.

149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: Quicken me, O Jehovah, according to thine ordinances.

150 They draw nigh that follow after wickedness; They are far from thy law.

151 Thou art nigh, O Jehovah; And all thy commandments are truth.

152 Of old have I known from thy testimonies, That thou hast founded them for ever. RESH.

153 Consider mine affliction, and deliver me; For I do not forget thy law.

154 Plead thou my cause, and redeem me: Quicken me according to thy word.

155 Salvation is far from the wicked; For they seek not thy statutes.

156 Great are thy tender mercies, O Jehovah: Quicken me according to thine ordinances.

157 Many are my persecutors and mine adversaries; Yet have I not swerved from thy testimonies.

158 I beheld the treacherous, and was grieved, Because they observe not thy word.

159 Consider how I love thy precepts: Quicken me, O Jehovah, according to thy lovingkindness.

160 The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth for ever. SHIN.

161 Princes have persecuted me without a cause; But my heart standeth in awe of thy words.

162 I rejoice at thy word, As one that findeth great spoil.

163 I hate and abhor falsehood; But thy law do I love.

164 Seven times a day do I praise thee, Because of thy righteous ordinances.

165 Great peace have they that love thy law; And they have no occasion of stumbling.

166 I have hoped for thy salvation, O Jehovah, And have done thy commandments.

167 My soul hath observed thy testimonies; And I love them exceedingly.

168 I have observed thy precepts and thy testimonies; For all my ways are before thee. TAV.

169 Let my cry come near before thee, O Jehovah: Give me understanding according to thy word.

170 Let my supplication come before thee: Deliver me according to thy word.

171 Let my lips utter praise; For thou teachest me thy statutes.

172 Let my tongue sing of thy word; For all thy commandments are righteousness.

173 Let thy hand be ready to help me; For I have chosen thy precepts.

174 I have longed for thy salvation, O Jehovah; And thy law is my delight.

175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; And let thine ordinances help me.

176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; Seek thy servant; For I do not forget thy commandments.
