[1] [ALEPH] Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.
[2] Blessed are they who search his testimonies: that seek him with their whole heart.
[3] For they that work iniquity, have not walked in his ways.
[4] Thou hast commanded thy commandments to be kept most diligently.
[5] O! that my ways may be directed to keep thy justifications.
[6] Then shall I not be confounded, when I shall look into all thy commandments.
[7] I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned the judgments of thy justice.
[8] I will keep thy justifications: O! do not thou utterly forsake me.
[9] [BETH] By what doth a young man correct his way? by observing thy words.
[10] With my whole heart have I sought after thee: let me not stray from thy commandments.
[11] Thy words have I hidden in my heart, that I may not sin against thee.
[12] Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy justifications.
[13] With my lips I have pronounced all the judgments of thy mouth.
[14] I have been delighted in the way of thy testimonies, as in all riches.
[15] I will meditate on thy commandments: and I will consider thy ways.
[16] I will think of thy justifications: I will not forget thy words.
[17] [GIMEL] Give bountifully to thy servant, enliven me: and I shall keep thy words.
[18] Open thou my eyes: and I will consider the wondrous things of thy law.
[19] I am a sojourner on the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
[20] My soul hath coveted to long for thy justifications, at all times.
[21] Thou hast rebuked the proud: they are cursed who decline from thy commandments.
[22] Remove from reproach and contempt: because I have sought after thy testimonies.
[23] For princes sat, and spoke against me: but thy servant was employed in thy justifications.
[24] For thy testimonies are my meditation: and thy justifications my counsel.
[25] [DALETH] My soul hath cleaved to the pavement: quicken thou me according to thy word.
[26] I have declared my ways, and thou hast heard me: tech me thy justifications.
[27] Make me to understand the way of thy justifications: and I shall be exercised in thy wondrous works.
[28] My soul hath slumbered through heaviness: strengthen thou me in thy words.
[29] Remove from me the way of iniquity: and out of thy law have mercy on me.
[30] I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments I have not forgotten.
[31] I have stuck to thy testimonies, O Lord: put me not to shame.
[32] I have run the way of thy commandments, when thou didst enlarge my heart.
[33] [HE] Set before me for a law the way of thy justifications, O Lord: and I will always seek after it.
[34] Give me understanding, and I will search thy law ; and I will keep it with my whole heart.
[35] Lead me into the path of thy commandments; for this same I have desired.
[36] Incline my heart into thy testimonies and not to covetousness.
[37] Turn away my eyes that they may not behold vanity: quicken me in thy way.
[38] Establish thy word to thy servant, in thy fear.
[39] Turn away my reproach, which I have apprehended: for thy judgments are delightful.
[40] Behold I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy justice.
[41] [VAU] Let thy mercy also come upon me, O Lord: thy salvation according to thy word.
[42] So shall I answer them that reproach me in any thing; that I have trusted in thy words.
[43] And take not thou the word of truth utterly out of my mouth: for in thy words have I hoped exceedingly.
[44] So shall I always keep thy law, for ever and ever.
[45] And I walked at large: because I have sought after thy commandments.
[46] And I spoke of thy testimonies before kings: and I was not ashamed.
[47] I meditated also on thy commandments, which I loved.
[48] And I lifted up my hands to thy commandments, which I loved: and I was exercised in thy justifications.
[49] [ZAIN] Be thou mindful of thy word to thy servant, in which thou hast given me hope.
[50] This hath comforted me in my humiliation: because thy word hath enlivened me.
[51] The proud did iniquitously altogether: but I declined not from thy law.
[52] I remembered, O Lord, thy judgments of old: and I was comforted.
[53] A fainting hath taken hold of me, because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
[54] Thy justifications were the subject of my song, in the place of my pilgrimage.
[55] In the night I have remembered thy name, O Lord: and have kept thy law.
[56] This happened to me: because I sought after thy justifications.
[57] [HETH] O Lord, my portion, I have said, I would keep the law.
[58] I entreated thy face with all my heart: have mercy on me according to thy word.
[59] I have thought on my ways: and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
[60] I am ready, and am not troubled: that I may keep thy commandments.
[61] The cords of the wicked have encompassed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.
[62] I rose at midnight to give praise to thee; for the judgments of thy justification.
[63] I am a partaker with all them that fear thee, and that keep thy commandments.
[64] The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy justifications.
[65] [TETH] Thou hast done well with thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word.
[66] Teach me goodness and discipline and knowledge; for I have believed thy commandments.
[67] Before I was humbled I offended; therefore have I kept thy word.
[68] Thou art good; and in thy goodness teach me thy justifications.
[69] The iniquity of the proud hath been multiplied over me: but I will seek thy commandments with my whole heart.
[70] Their heart is curdled like milk: but I have meditated on thy law.
[71] It is good for me that thou hast humbled me, that I may learn thy justifications.
[72] The law of thy mouth is good to me, above thousands of gold and silver.
[73] [JOD] Thy hands have made me and formed me: give me understanding, and I will learn thy commandments.
[74] They that fear thee shall see me, and shall be glad: because I have greatly hoped in thy words.
[75] I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are equity: and in thy truth thou hast humbled me.
[76] O! let thy mercy be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
[77] Let thy tender mercies come unto me, and I shall live: for thy law is my meditation.
[78] Let the proud be ashamed, because they have done unjustly towards me: but I will be employed in thy commandments.
[79] Let them that fear thee turn to me" and they that know thy testimonies.
[80] Let my heart be undefiled in thy justifications, that I may not be confounded.
[81] [CAPH] My soul hath fainted after thy salvation: and in thy word I have very much hoped.
[82] My eyes have failed for thy word, saying: When wilt thou comfort me?
[83] For I am become like a bottle in the frost: I have not forgotten thy justifications.
[84] How many are the days of thy servant: when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
[85] The wicked have told me fables: but not as thy law.
[86] All thy statutes are truth: they have persecuted me unjustly, do thou help me.
[87] They had almost made an end of me upon earth: but I have not forsaken thy commandments.
[88] Quicken thou me according to thy mercy: and I shall keep the testimonies of thy mouth.
[89] [LAMED] For ever, O Lord, thy word standeth firm in heaven.
[90] Thy truth unto all generations: thou hast founded the earth, and it continueth.
[91] By thy ordinance the day goeth on: for all things serve thee.
[92] Unless thy law had been my meditation, I had then perhaps perished in my abjection.
[93] Thy justifications I will never forget: for by them thou hast given me life.
[94] I am thine, save thou me: for I have sought thy justifications.
[95] The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I have understood thy testimonies.
[96] I have seen an end to all persecution: thy commandment is exceeding broad.
[97] [MEM] O how have I loved thy law, O Lord! it is my meditation all the day.
[98] Through thy commandment, thou hast made me wiser than my enemies: for it is ever with me.
[99] I have understood more than all my teachers: because thy testimonies are my meditation.
[100] I have had understanding above ancients: because I have sought thy commandments.
[101] I have restrained my feet from every evil way: that I may keep thy words.
[102] I have not declined from thy judgments, because thou hast set me a law.
[103] How sweet are thy words to my palate! more than honey to my mouth.
[104] By thy commandments I have had understanding: therefore have I hated every way of iniquity.
[105] [NUN] Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths.
[106] I have sworn and am determined to keep the judgments of thy justice.
[107] I have been humbled, O Lord, exceedingly: quicken thou me according to thy word.
[108] The free offerings of my mouth make acceptable, O Lord: and teach me thy judgments.
[109] My soul is continually in my hands: and I have not forgotten thy law.
[110] Sinners have laid a snare for me: but I have not erred from thy precepts.
[111] I have purchased thy testimonies for an inheritance for ever: because they are a joy to my heart.
[112] I have inclined my heart to do thy justifications for ever, for the reward.
[113] [SAMECH] I have hated the unjust: and have loved thy law.
[114] Thou art my helper and my protector: and in thy word I have greatly hoped.
[115] Depart from me, ye malignant: and I will search the commandments of my God.
[116] Uphold me according to thy word, and I shall live: and let me not be confounded in my expectation.
[117] Help me, and I shall be saved: and I will meditate always on thy justifications.
[118] Thou hast despised all them that fall off from thy judgments; for their thought is unjust.
[119] I have accounted all the sinners of the earth prevaricators: therefore have I loved thy testimonies.
[120] Pierce thou my flesh with thy fear: for I am afraid of thy judgments.
[121] [AIN] I have done judgment and justice: give me not up to them that slander me.
[122] Uphold thy servant unto good: let not the proud calumniate me.
[123] My eyes have fainted after thy salvation: and for the word of thy justice.
[124] Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy: and teach me thy justifications.
[125] I am thy servant: give me understanding that I may know thy testimonies.
[126] It is time, O Lord, to do: they have dissipated thy law.
[127] Therefore have I loved thy commandments above gold and the topaz.
[128] Therefore was I directed to all thy commandments: I have hated all wicked ways.
[129] [PHE] Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore my soul hath sought them.
[130] The declaration of thy words giveth light: and giveth understanding to little ones.
[131] I opened my mouth and panted: because I longed for thy commandments.
[132] Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me, according to the judgment of them that love thy name.
[133] Direct my steps according to thy word: and let no iniquity have dominion over me.
[134] Redeem me from the calumnies of men: that I may keep thy commandments.
[135] Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: and teach me thy justifications.
[136] My eyes have sent forth springs of water: because they have not kept thy law.
[137] [SADE] Thou art just, O Lord: and thy judgment is right.

[139] My zeal hath made me pine away: because my enemies forgot thy words.
[140] Thy word is exceedingly refined: and thy servant hath loved it.

[142] Thy justice is justice for ever: and thy law is the truth.
[143] Trouble and anguish have found me: thy commandments are my meditation.
[144] Thy testimonies are justice for ever: give me understanding, and I shall live.
[145] [COPH] I cried with my whole heart, hear me, O Lord: I will seek thy justifications.
[146] I cried unto thee, save me: that I may keep thy commandments.
[147] I prevented the dawning of the day, and cried: because in thy words I very much hoped.
[148] My eyes to thee have prevented the morning: that I might meditate on thy words.
[149] Hear thou my voice, O Lord, according to thy mercy: and quicken me according to thy mercy.
[150] They that persecute me have drawn nigh to iniquity; but they are gone far off from the law.
[151] Thou art near, O Lord: and all thy ways are truth.

[163] I have hated and abhorred iniquity; but I have loved thy law.
[164] Seven times a day I have given praise to thee, for the judgments of thy justice.
[165] Much peace have they that love thy law, and to them there is no stumbling block
[166] I looked to thy salvation, O Lord: and I loved thy commandments.
[167] My soul hath kept thy testimonies: and hath loved them exceedingly.
