PSALM 119

I Love Your Law, O Yahweh

Aleph

1 How blessed ^H835 are those whose way ^H1870 is [fn]blameless ^H8549,

Who walk ^H1980 in the law ^H8451 of Yahweh ^H3068.

2 How blessed ^H835 are those who observe ^H5341 His testimonies ^H5713,

They seek ^H1875 Him with all ^H3605 their heart ^H3820.

3 They also ^H637 do not ^H3808 work ^H6466 unrighteousness ^H5766;

They walk ^H1980 in His ways ^H1870.

4 You have commanded ^H6680 us,

To keep ^H8104 Your precepts ^H6490 [fn]diligently ^H3966.

5 Oh ^H305 may my ways ^H1870 be established ^H3559

To keep ^H8104 Your statutes ^H2706!

6 Then ^H227 I shall not be ^H954 ashamed ^H954

When I look ^H5027 [fn]upon all ^H3605 Your commandments ^H4687.

7 I shall give ^H3034 thanks ^H3034 to You with uprightness ^H3476 of heart ^H3824,

When I learn ^H3925 Your righteous ^H6664 judgments ^H4941.

8 I shall keep ^H8104 Your statutes ^H2706;

Do not forsake ^H5800 me utterly ^H5704 H3966!

Beth

9 How ^H4100 can a young ^H5288 man ^H5288 keep ^H2135 his way ^H734 pure ^H2135?

By keeping ^H8104 it according to Your word ^H1697.

10 With all ^H3605 my heart ^H3820 I have sought ^H1875 You;

Do not let me stray ^H7686 from Your commandments ^H4687.

11 Your word ^H565 I have treasured ^H6845 in my heart ^H3820,

That I may not sin ^H2398 against You.

12 Blessed ^H1288 are You, O Yahweh ^H3068;

Teach ^H3925 me Your statutes ^H2706.

13 With my lips ^H8193 I have recounted ^H5608

All ^H3605 the judgments ^H4941 of Your mouth ^H6310.

14 I have rejoiced ^H7797 in the way ^H1870 of Your testimonies ^H5715,

[fn]As much ^H5921 as in all ^H3605 riches ^H1952.

15 I will muse ^H7878 upon Your precepts ^H6490

And look ^H5027 upon Your ways ^H734.

16 I shall [fn]delight ^H8173 in Your statutes ^H2708;

I shall not forget ^H7911 Your word ^H1697.

Gimel

17 Deal ^H1580 bountifully ^H1580 with Your slave ^H5650,

That I may live ^H2421 and keep ^H8104 Your word ^H1697.

18 Open ^H1540 my eyes ^H5869, that I may behold ^H5027

Wonderful ^H6381 things ^H6381 from Your law ^H8451.

19 I am a sojourner ^H1616 in the earth ^H776;

Do not hide ^H5641 Your commandments ^H4687 from me.

20 My soul ^H5315 is crushed ^H1638 [fn]with longing ^H8375

For ^H413 Your judgments ^H4941 at all ^H3605 times ^H6256.

21 You rebuke ^H1605 the arrogant ^H2086, [fn]the cursed ^H779,

Who stray ^H7686 from Your commandments ^H4687.

22 Take ^H1556 away ^H1556 reproach ^H2781 and contempt ^H937 from me,

For I observe ^H5341 Your testimonies ^H5713.

23 Even ^H1571 though princes ^H8269 sit ^H3427 and talk ^H1696 against me,

Your slave ^H5650 muses ^H7878 on Your statutes ^H2706.

24 Your testimonies ^H5713 also ^H1571 are my delight ^H8191;

They are [fn]my counselors ^H376 H6098.

Daleth

25 My soul ^H5315 clings ^H1692 to the dust ^H6083;

Revive ^H2421 me according to Your word ^H1697.

26 I have recounted ^H5608 my ways ^H1870, and You have answered ^H6030 me;

Teach ^H3925 me Your statutes ^H2706.

27 Make me understand ^H995 the way ^H1870 of Your precepts ^H6490,

So I will muse ^H7878 on Your wondrous ^H6381 deeds ^H6381.

28 My soul ^H5315 [fn]weeps ^H1811 because ^H4480 of grief ^H8424;

Raise ^H6965 me up ^H6965 according to Your word ^H1697.

29 Remove ^H5493 the false ^H8267 way ^H1870 from me,

And graciously ^H2603 grant ^H2603 me Your law ^H8451.

30 I have chosen ^H977 the faithful ^H530 way ^H1870;

I have [fn]placed ^H7737 Your judgments ^H4941 before me.

31 I cling ^H1692 to Your testimonies ^H5715;

O Yahweh ^H3068, do not put ^H954 me to ^H954 shame ^H954!

32 I shall run ^H7323 the way ^H1870 of Your commandments ^H4687,

For You will enlarge ^H7337 my heart ^H3820.

He

33 Instruct ^H3384 me, O Yahweh ^H3068, in the way ^H1870 of Your statutes ^H2706,

That I may observe ^H5341 it to the end ^H6118.

34 Cause ^H995 me to understand ^H995, that I may observe ^H5341 Your law ^H8451

And keep ^H8104 it with all ^H3605 my heart ^H3820.

35 Cause me to walk ^H1869 in the path ^H5410 of Your commandments ^H4687,

For I delight ^H2654 in it.

36 Cause ^H5186 my heart ^H3820 to incline ^H5186 to Your testimonies ^H5715

And not to dishonest gain ^H1215.

37 Cause ^H5674 my eyes ^H5869 to turn ^H5674 away ^H5674 from looking ^H7200 at worthlessness ^H7723,

And revive ^H2421 me in Your ways ^H1870.

38 Cause ^H6965 Your [fn]word ^H565 to be established ^H6965 for Your slave ^H5650,

[fn]As that which ^H834 produces fear ^H3374 for You.

39 Cause ^H5674 my reproach ^H2781 which ^H834 I dread ^H3025 to pass ^H5674 away ^H5674,

For Your judgments ^H4941 are good ^H2896.

40 Behold ^H2009, I long ^H8373 for Your precepts ^H6490;

Revive ^H2421 me in Your righteousness ^H6666.

Vav

41 May Your lovingkindnesses ^H2617 also come ^H935 to me, O Yahweh ^H3068,

Your salvation ^H8668 according to Your [fn]word ^H565;

42 So I will have ^H6030 an ^H6030 answer ^H6030 H1697 for him who reproaches ^H2778 me,

For I trust ^H982 in Your word ^H1697.

43 And do not take ^H5337 away the word ^H1697 of truth ^H571 utterly ^H5704 H3966 from my mouth ^H6310,

For I [fn]wait ^H3176 for Your judgments ^H4941.

44 So I will keep ^H8104 Your law ^H8451 continually ^H8548,

Forever ^H5769 and ever ^H5703.

45 And I will walk ^H1980 in a wide ^H7342 place ^H7342,

For I seek ^H1875 Your precepts ^H6490.

46 I will also speak ^H1696 of Your testimonies ^H5713 before ^H5048 kings ^H4428

And I shall not be ^H954 ashamed ^H954.

47 I shall [fn]delight ^H8173 in Your commandments ^H4687,

Which ^H834 I love ^H157.

48 And I shall lift ^H5375 up ^H5375 my hands ^H3709 to Your commandments ^H4687,

Which ^H834 I love ^H157;

And I will muse ^H7878 on Your statutes ^H2706.

Zayin

49 Remember ^H2142 the word ^H1697 to Your slave ^H5650,

[fn]In which ^H834 You have made me wait ^H3176.

50 This ^H2088 is my comfort ^H5165 in my affliction ^H6040,

That Your word ^H565 has [fn]revived ^H2421 me.

51 The arrogant ^H2086 utterly ^H5704 H3966 scoff ^H3887 at me,

Yet I do not turn ^H5186 aside ^H5186 from Your law ^H8451.

52 I have remembered ^H2142 Your judgments ^H4941 from [fn]of ^H5769 old ^H5769, O Yahweh ^H3068,

And comfort ^H5162 myself.

53 Burning ^H2152 indignation ^H2152 has seized ^H270 me because ^H4480 of the wicked ^H7563,

Who forsake ^H5800 Your law ^H8451.

54 Your statutes ^H2706 have become my songs ^H2158

In the house ^H1004 of my sojourning ^H4033.

55 I remember ^H2142 in the night ^H3915 Your name ^H8034, O Yahweh ^H3068,

So I keep ^H8104 Your law ^H8451.

56 This ^H2088 has become ^H1961 mine,

[fn]That I observe ^H5341 Your precepts ^H6490.

Heth

57 Yahweh ^H3068 is my portion ^H2506;

I have [fn]promised ^H559 to keep ^H8104 Your words ^H1697.

58 I have sought ^H2470 to please ^H2470 Your face ^H6440 with all ^H3605 my heart ^H3820;

Be ^H2603 gracious ^H2603 to me according to Your [fn]word ^H565.

59 I thought ^H2803 upon my ways ^H1870

And I turned ^H7725 my feet ^H7272 to Your testimonies ^H5713.

60 I hastened ^H2363 and did not delay ^H4102

To keep ^H8104 Your commandments ^H4687.

61 The cords ^H2256 of the wicked ^H7563 have encircled ^H5749 me,

But I have not forgotten ^H7911 Your law ^H8451.

62 At midnight ^H2676 H3915 I shall rise ^H6965 to give ^H3034 thanks ^H3034 to You

Because ^H5921 of Your righteous ^H6664 judgments ^H4941.

63 I am a companion ^H2270 of all ^H3605 those who ^H834 [fn]fear ^H3372 You,

And of those who keep ^H8104 Your precepts ^H6490.

64 The earth ^H776, O Yahweh ^H3068, is full ^H4390 of Your lovingkindness ^H2617;

Teach ^H3925 me Your statutes ^H2706.

Teth

65 You have dealt ^H6213 well ^H2896 with Your slave ^H5650,

O Yahweh ^H3068, according to Your word ^H1697.

66 Teach ^H3925 me good ^H2898 [fn]discernment ^H2940 and knowledge ^H1847,

For I believe ^H539 in Your commandments ^H4687.

67 Before ^H2962 I was afflicted ^H6031 I went ^H7683 astray ^H7683,

But now ^H6258 I keep ^H8104 Your word ^H565.

68 You are good ^H2896 and do ^H3190 good ^H3190;

Teach ^H3925 me Your statutes ^H2706.

69 The arrogant ^H2086 have smeared ^H2950 me with lying ^H8267;

With all ^H3605 my heart ^H3820 I will observe ^H5341 Your precepts ^H6490.

70 Their heart ^H3820 is [fn]covered ^H2954 with fat ^H2459,

But I delight ^H8173 in Your law ^H8451.

71 It is good ^H2895 for me that I was afflicted ^H6031,

That I may learn ^H3925 Your statutes ^H2706.

72 The law ^H8451 of Your mouth ^H6310 is better ^H2896 to me

Than ^H4480 thousands ^H505 of gold ^H2091 and silver ^H3701 pieces.

Yodh

73 Your hands ^H3027 made ^H6213 me and established ^H3559 me;

Give ^H995 me understanding ^H995, that I may learn ^H3925 Your commandments ^H4687.

74 May those who [fn]fear ^H3372 You see ^H7200 me and be ^H8055 glad ^H8055,

Because ^H3588 I [fn]wait ^H3176 for Your word ^H1697.

75 I know ^H3045, O Yahweh ^H3068, that Your judgments ^H4941 are righteous ^H6664,

And that in faithfulness ^H530 You have afflicted ^H6031 me.

76 Oh ^H4994 may ^H4994 Your lovingkindness ^H2617 [fn]comfort ^H5162 me,

According to Your [fn]word ^H565 to Your slave ^H5650.

77 May Your compassion ^H7356 come ^H935 to me that I may live ^H2421,

For Your law ^H8451 is my delight ^H8191.

78 May the arrogant ^H2086 be ashamed ^H954, for they wrong ^H5791 me with lying ^H8267;

But I shall muse ^H7878 on Your precepts ^H6490.

79 May those who [fn]fear ^H3372 You turn ^H7725 to me,

And those who know ^H3045 Your testimonies ^H5713.

80 May my heart ^H3820 be [fn]blameless ^H8549 in Your statutes ^H2706,

So that I will not be ^H954 ashamed ^H954.

Kaph

81 My soul ^H5315 fails ^H3615 with longing for Your salvation ^H8668;

I [fn]wait ^H3176 for Your word ^H1697.

82 My eyes ^H5869 fail ^H3615 with longing for Your [fn]word ^H565,

Saying ^H559, “When ^H4970 will You comfort ^H5162 me?”

83 For ^H3588 I am ^H1961 like a wineskin ^H4997 in the smoke ^H7008,

But I do not forget ^H7911 Your statutes ^H2706.

84 How ^H4100 many ^H4100 are the days ^H3117 of Your slave ^H5650?

When ^H4970 will You execute ^H6213 judgment ^H4941 on those who persecute ^H7291 me?

85 The arrogant ^H2086 have dug ^H3738 pits ^H7882 for me,

Men who ^H834 are not [fn]in accord with Your law ^H8451.

86 All ^H3605 Your commandments ^H4687 are faithful ^H530;

They have persecuted ^H7291 me with lying ^H8267; help ^H5826 me!

87 They almost ^H4592 made ^H3615 an ^H3615 end ^H3615 of ^H3615 me on the earth ^H776,

But as for me, I did not forsake ^H5800 Your precepts ^H6490.

88 Revive ^H2421 me according to Your lovingkindness ^H2617,

So that I may keep ^H8104 the testimony ^H5715 of Your mouth ^H6310.

Lamedh

89 Forever ^H5769, O Yahweh ^H3068,

Your word ^H1697 stands ^H5324 firm ^H5324 in heaven ^H8064.

90 Your faithfulness ^H530 endures [fn]from generation ^H1755 to ^H1755 generation ^H1755;

You established ^H3559 the earth ^H776, and it stands ^H5975.

91 They stand ^H5975 this day ^H3117 according to Your judgments ^H4941,

For all ^H3605 things ^H3605 are Your slaves ^H5650.

92 If ^H3884 Your law ^H8451 had not been my delight ^H8191,

Then ^H227 I would have perished ^H6 in my affliction ^H6040.

93 I will never ^H5769 H3808 forget ^H7911 Your precepts ^H6490,

For by them You have [fn]revived ^H2421 me.

94 I am Yours, save ^H3467 me;

For I have sought ^H1875 Your precepts ^H6490.

95 The wicked ^H7563 hope ^H6960 for me—to destroy ^H6 me;

I shall perceive ^H995 Your testimonies ^H5713.

96 I have seen ^H7200 [fn]a limit ^H7093 to all ^H3605 perfection ^H8502;

Your commandment ^H4687 is exceedingly ^H3966 broad ^H7342.

Mem

97 Oh how ^H4100 I love ^H157 Your law ^H8451!

It is my meditation ^H7881 all ^H3605 the day ^H3117.

98 Your commandments ^H4687 make ^H2449 me wiser ^H2449 than ^H4480 my enemies ^H340,

For they are [fn]mine forever ^H5769.

99 I have ^H7919 more ^H4480 insight ^H7919 than ^H4480 all ^H3605 my teachers ^H3925,

For Your testimonies ^H5715 are my meditation ^H7881.

100 I perceive ^H995 more ^H4480 than ^H4480 the aged ^H2205,

Because ^H3588 I have observed ^H5341 Your precepts ^H6490.

101 I have restrained ^H3607 my feet ^H7272 from every ^H3605 evil ^H7451 way ^H734,

That I may keep ^H8104 Your word ^H1697.

102 I have not turned ^H5493 aside ^H5493 from Your judgments ^H4941,

For You Yourself ^H859 have taught ^H3384 me.

103 How ^H4100 sweet ^H4452 is Your [fn]word ^H565 to my [fn]taste ^H2441!

Sweeter than ^H4480 honey ^H1706 to my mouth ^H6310!

104 From Your precepts ^H6490 I get ^H995 perception ^H995;

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 I hate ^H8130 every ^H3605 false ^H8267 way ^H734.

Nun

105 Your word ^H1697 is a lamp ^H5216 to my feet ^H7272

And a light ^H216 to my path ^H5410.

106 I have sworn ^H7650 and I have confirmed ^H6965,

To keep ^H8104 Your righteous ^H6664 judgments ^H4941.

107 I am exceedingly ^H5704 H3966 afflicted ^H6031;

O Yahweh ^H3068, [fn]revive ^H2421 me according to Your word ^H1697.

108 Oh ^H4994 be ^H7521 pleased ^H7521 with the freewill ^H5071 offerings ^H5071 of my mouth ^H6310, O Yahweh ^H3068,

And teach ^H3925 me Your judgments ^H4941.

109 My soul ^H5315 is continually ^H8548 [fn]in my hand ^H3709,

Yet I do not forget ^H7911 Your law ^H8451.

110 The wicked ^H7563 have laid ^H5414 a snare ^H6341 for me,

Yet I have not wandered ^H8582 from Your precepts ^H6490.

111 I have inherited ^H5157 Your testimonies ^H5715 forever ^H5769,

For they are the joy ^H8342 of my heart ^H3820.

112 I have inclined ^H5186 my heart ^H3820 to do ^H6213 Your statutes ^H2706

Forever ^H5769, to the end ^H6118.

Samekh

113 I hate ^H8130 those who are double-minded ^H5588,

But I love ^H157 Your law ^H8451.

114 You are my hiding ^H5643 place ^H5643 and my shield ^H4043;

I [fn]wait ^H3176 for Your word ^H1697.

115 Depart ^H5493 from me, evildoers ^H7489,

That I may observe ^H5341 the commandments ^H4687 of my God ^H430.

116 Sustain ^H5564 me according to Your [fn]word ^H565, that I may live ^H2421;

And do not put ^H954 me to ^H954 shame ^H954 because of my hope ^H7664.

117 Uphold ^H5582 me that I may be saved ^H3467,

That I may have ^H8159 regard ^H8159 for Your statutes ^H2706 continually ^H8548.

118 You have [fn]rejected ^H5541 all ^H3605 those who stray ^H7686 from Your statutes ^H2706,

For their deceitfulness ^H8649 is a lie ^H8267.

119 You [fn]remove ^H7673 all ^H3605 the wicked ^H7563 of the earth ^H776 like dross ^H5509;

Therefore ^H3651 I love ^H157 Your testimonies ^H5713.

120 My flesh ^H1320 [fn]quakes ^H5568 for dread ^H6343 of You,

And I am ^H3372 afraid ^H3372 of Your judgments ^H4941.

Ayin

121 I have done ^H6213 justice ^H4941 and righteousness ^H6664;

Do not leave ^H5117 me to my oppressors ^H6231.

122 Be ^H6148 for Your slave ^H5650 a ^H6148 guarantee ^H6148 for good ^H2896;

Do not let the arrogant ^H2086 oppress ^H6231 me.

123 My eyes ^H5869 fail ^H3615 with longing for Your salvation ^H3444

And for Your righteous ^H6664 [fn]word ^H565.

124 Deal ^H6213 with Your slave ^H5650 according to Your lovingkindness ^H2617

And teach ^H3925 me Your statutes ^H2706.

125 I am Your slave ^H5650; give ^H995 me understanding ^H995,

That I may know ^H3045 Your testimonies ^H5713.

126 It is time ^H6256 for Yahweh ^H3068 to act ^H6213,

For they have broken ^H6565 Your law ^H8451.

127 Therefore ^H5921 H3651 I love ^H157 Your commandments ^H4687

Above ^H4480 gold ^H2091, even above ^H4480 fine ^H6337 gold ^H6337.

128 Therefore ^H5921 H3651 I deem ^H3474 all ^H3605 Your precepts ^H6490 concerning everything ^H3605 to be right ^H3474,

I hate ^H8130 every ^H3605 false ^H8267 way ^H734.

Pe

129 Your testimonies ^H5715 are wonderful ^H6382;

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 my soul ^H5315 observes ^H5341 them.

130 The unfolding ^H6608 of Your words ^H1697 gives ^H215 light ^H215;

It gives ^H995 understanding ^H995 to the simple ^H6612.

131 I opened ^H6473 my mouth ^H6310 wide ^H6473 and panted ^H7602,

For I longed ^H2968 for Your commandments ^H4687.

132 Turn ^H6437 to me and be ^H2603 gracious ^H2603 to me,

According to Your judgment ^H4941 [fn]for those who love ^H157 Your name ^H8034.

133 Establish ^H3559 my steps ^H6471 in Your [fn]word ^H565,

And do not let any ^H3605 wickedness ^H205 overpower ^H7980 me.

134 Redeem ^H6299 me from the oppression ^H6233 of man ^H120,

That I may keep ^H8104 Your precepts ^H6490.

135 Make Your face ^H6440 shine ^H215 upon Your slave ^H5650,

And teach ^H3925 me Your statutes ^H2706.

136 My eyes ^H5869 [fn]shed ^H3381 streams ^H6388 of water ^H4325,

Because ^H5921 they do not keep ^H8104 Your law ^H8451.

Tsadhe

137 Righteous ^H6662 are You, O Yahweh ^H3068,

And upright ^H3477 are Your judgments ^H4941.

138 In righteousness ^H6664, You have commanded ^H6680 Your testimonies ^H5713

And in exceeding ^H3966 faithfulness ^H530.

139 My zeal ^H7068 has [fn]consumed ^H6789 me,

Because ^H3588 my adversaries ^H6862 have forgotten ^H7911 Your words ^H1697.

140 Your [fn]word ^H565 is exceedingly ^H3966 refined ^H6884,

Therefore Your slave ^H5650 loves ^H157 it.

141 I am small ^H6810 and despised ^H959,

Yet I do not forget ^H7911 Your precepts ^H6490.

142 Your righteousness ^H6666 is an everlasting ^H5769 righteousness ^H6664,

And Your law ^H8451 is truth ^H571.

143 Trouble ^H6862 and anguish ^H4689 have found ^H4672 me,

Yet Your commandments ^H4687 are my delight ^H8191.

144 Righteous ^H6664 are Your testimonies ^H5715 forever ^H5769;

Give ^H995 me understanding ^H995 that I may live ^H2421.

Qoph

145 I called ^H7121 with all ^H3605 my heart ^H3820; answer ^H6030 me, O Yahweh ^H3068!

I will observe ^H5341 Your statutes ^H2706.

146 I called ^H7121 to You; save ^H3467 me

And I shall keep ^H8104 Your testimonies ^H5713.

147 I [fn]eagerly ^H6923 greet ^H6923 the dawn ^H5399 and cry ^H7768 for ^H7768 help ^H7768;

I [fn]wait ^H3176 for Your words ^H1697.

148 My eyes ^H5869 [fn]eagerly ^H6923 greet ^H6923 the night watches ^H821,

That I may muse ^H7878 on Your [fn]word ^H565.

149 Hear ^H8085 my voice ^H6963 according to Your lovingkindness ^H2617;

O Yahweh ^H3068, revive ^H2421 me, according to Your judgments ^H4941.

150 [fn]Near ^H7126 are those who pursue ^H7291 wickedness ^H2154;

They are ^H7368 far ^H7368 from Your law ^H8451.

151 Near ^H7138 are You, O Yahweh ^H3068,

And all ^H3605 Your commandments ^H4687 are truth ^H571.

152 Of old ^H6924 I have known ^H3045 from Your testimonies ^H5713

That You have founded ^H3245 them forever ^H5769.

Resh

153 See ^H7200 my affliction ^H6040 and rescue ^H2502 me,

For I do not forget ^H7911 Your law ^H8451.

154 Plead ^H7378 my cause ^H7379 and redeem ^H1350 me;

Revive ^H2421 me according to Your [fn]word ^H565.

155 Salvation ^H3444 is far ^H7350 from the wicked ^H7563,

For they do not seek ^H1875 Your statutes ^H2706.

156 Many ^H7227 are Your [fn]compassions ^H7356, O Yahweh ^H3068;

Revive ^H2421 me according to Your judgments ^H4941.

157 Many ^H7227 are my persecutors ^H7291 and my adversaries ^H6862,

Yet I do not turn ^H5186 aside ^H5186 from Your testimonies ^H5715.

158 I see ^H7200 the treacherous ^H898 and loathe ^H6962 them,

Those ^H834 who ^H834 do not keep ^H8104 Your [fn]word ^H565.

159 See ^H7200 how ^H3588 I love ^H157 Your precepts ^H6490;

O Yahweh ^H3068, revive ^H2421 me according to Your lovingkindness ^H2617.

160 The sum ^H7218 of Your word ^H1697 is truth ^H571,

And every ^H3605 one ^H3605 of Your righteous ^H6664 judgments ^H4941 is everlasting ^H5769.

Sin/Shin

161 Princes ^H8269 persecute ^H7291 me without ^H2600 cause ^H2600,

But my heart ^H3820 is ^H6342 in ^H6342 dread ^H6342 of Your words ^H1697.

162 I rejoice ^H7797 at Your [fn]word ^H565,

As one who finds ^H4672 much ^H7227 spoil ^H7998.

163 I hate ^H8130 and abhor ^H8581 lying ^H8267,

But I love ^H157 Your law ^H8451.

164 Seven ^H7651 times ^H7651 a day ^H3117 I praise ^H1984 You,

Because ^H5921 of Your righteous ^H6664 judgments ^H4941.

165 Those who love ^H157 Your law ^H8451 have much ^H7227 peace ^H7965,

And [fn]nothing ^H369 causes them to stumble ^H4383.

166 I hope ^H7663 for Your salvation ^H3444, O Yahweh ^H3068,

And I do ^H6213 Your commandments ^H4687.

167 My soul ^H5315 keeps ^H8104 Your testimonies ^H5713,

And I love ^H157 them exceedingly ^H3966.

168 I keep ^H8104 Your precepts ^H6490 and Your testimonies ^H5713,

For all ^H3605 my ways ^H1870 are before ^H5048 You.

Tav

169 Let my cry ^H7440 of ^H7440 lamentation ^H7440 come ^H7126 near ^H7126 before ^H6440 You, O Yahweh ^H3068;

Give ^H995 me understanding ^H995 according to Your word ^H1697.

170 Let my supplication ^H8467 come ^H935 before ^H6440 You;

Deliver ^H5337 me according to Your [fn]word ^H565.

171 Let my lips ^H8193 pour ^H5042 forth ^H5042 praise ^H8416,

For You teach ^H3925 me Your statutes ^H2706.

172 Let my tongue ^H3956 answer ^H6030 with Your [fn]word ^H565,

For all ^H3605 Your commandments ^H4687 are righteous ^H6664.

173 Let Your hand ^H3027 be [fn]ready to help ^H5826 me,

For I have chosen ^H977 Your precepts ^H6490.

174 I long ^H8373 for Your salvation ^H3444, O Yahweh ^H3068,

And Your law ^H8451 is my delight ^H8191.

175 Let my soul ^H5315 live ^H2421 that it may praise ^H1984 You,

And let Your judgments ^H4941 help ^H5826 me.

176 I have wandered ^H8582 off ^H8582 like a lost ^H6 sheep ^H7716; search ^H1245 for Your slave ^H5650,

For I have not forgotten ^H7911 Your commandments ^H4687.
