1 | Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. |
2 | Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. |
3 | They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. |
4 | Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. |
5 | O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! |
6 | Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. |
7 | I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. |
8 | I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly. |
9 | Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. |
10 | With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. |
11 | Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. |
12 | Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes. |
13 | With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. |
14 | I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. |
15 | I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. |
16 | I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. |
17 | Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word. |
18 | Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. |
19 | I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me. |
20 | My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times. |
21 | Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments. |
22 | Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies. |
23 | Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. |
24 | Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors. |
25 | My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word. |
26 | I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes. |
27 | Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. |
28 | My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word. |
29 | Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. |
30 | I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me. |
31 | I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame. |
32 | I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart. |
33 | Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end. |
34 | Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. |
35 | Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight. |
36 | Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. |
37 | Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way. |
38 | Establish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear. |
39 | Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good. |
40 | Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness. |
41 | Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word. |
42 | So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. |
43 | And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. |
44 | So shall I keep thy law continually forever and ever. |
45 | And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. |
46 | I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. |
47 | And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. |
48 | My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. |
49 | Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. |
50 | This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me. |
51 | The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law. |
52 | I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself. |
53 | Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law. |
54 | Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. |
55 | I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law. |
56 | This I had, because I kept thy precepts. |
57 | Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words. |
58 | I entreated thy favor with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word. |
59 | I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. |
60 | I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. |
61 | The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law. |
62 | At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments. |
63 | I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts. |
64 | The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes. |
65 | Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word. |
66 | Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. |
67 | Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. |
68 | Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. |
69 | The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart. |
70 | Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law. |
71 | It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. |
72 | The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. |
73 | Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. |
74 | They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word. |
75 | I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. |
76 | Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. |
77 | Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight. |
78 | Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts. |
79 | Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies. |
80 | Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed. |
81 | My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word. |
82 | Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me? |
83 | For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes. |
84 | How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? |
85 | The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law. |
86 | All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. |
87 | They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts. |
88 | Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth. |
