115 ¶ Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will 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 I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. 118 ¶ Thou hast trodden down 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. 121 ¶ AIN. I have done judgment and justice: 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 the word of thy righteousness. 124 ¶ Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. 125 I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. 126 ¶ It is time for thee, LORD, 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 ¶ PE. Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. 130 ¶ The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. 131 ¶ I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments. 132 ¶ Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name. 133 ¶ Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. 134 ¶ Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. 135 ¶ Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. 136 ¶ Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law. 137 ¶ TZADDI. Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments. 138 Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful. 139 ¶ My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. 140 ¶ Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. 141 ¶ I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts. 142 ¶ Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth. 143 ¶ Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights. 144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. 145 ¶ KOPH. I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes. 146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies. 147 ¶ I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. 148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word. 149 ¶ Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment. 150 ¶ They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law. 151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth. 152 ¶ Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever. 153 ¶ RESH. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law. 154 Plead my cause, and deliver 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 LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments. 157 ¶ Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies. 158 ¶ I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word. 159 ¶ Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness. 160 ¶ Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. 161 ¶ SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. 162 ¶ I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. 163 ¶ I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. 164 ¶ Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments. 165 ¶ Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. 166 ¶ LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments. 167 ¶ My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly. 168 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee. 169 ¶ TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word. 170 Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word. 171 ¶ My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes. 172 ¶ My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness. 173 ¶ Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts. 174 I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight. 175 ¶ Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me. 176 ¶ I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.
