Therefore I love Your commandments more than gold,
Yes, more than refined gold.

Your decrees are wonderful that's why I observe them.

Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.

Redeem me from [the] oppression of humankind, that I may heed your precepts.

Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.

The righteousness of your testimonies [is] forever; give me understanding that I may live.

I cried to You; save me
And I will keep Your testimonies.

Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.

They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.

You are near, O Lord,
And all Your commandments are truth.

Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.

Many there are that trouble me, and persecute me; yet do I not swerve from thy testimonies.

I beheld them that deal treacherously, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.

Consider that I love your precepts; O Yahweh, according to your loyal love preserve my life.

Shin.
Princes persecute me without cause,
But my heart stands in [reverent] awe of Your words [so I can expect You to help me].

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

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

Let my soul live that it may praise You,
And let Your ordinances help me.

I go astray, like a sheep that is lost; O seek thy servant, for I do not forget thy commandments.

Unto Yahweh, in the distress that befell me, I cried - and he answered me.

"LORD, deliver me from lips that lie and tongues that deceive."

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

so that the sun shall not burn thee by day, neither the moon by night.

The LORD preserveth thee from all evil; yea, it is the LORD that keepeth thy soul.

Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

The tribes go up there, the tribes of the Lord, where it is required that Israel give thanks to the name of the Lord.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

{A Song of degrees.} Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

Show us favor, Lord, show us favor,
for we’ve had more than enough contempt.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

A Song of degrees; of David. Except that it was Jehovah who was for us, O may Israel say;

Except that it was Jehovah who was for us when men rose up against us,

{A Song of degrees.} They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; That the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.

Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

{A Song of degrees.} When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

At that time we laughed loudly and shouted for joy. At that time the nations said, "The Lord has accomplished great things for these people."

The great things that the LORD has done for us gladden us.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

{A Song of degrees for Solomon.} Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

It is but lost labour that ye rise up early, and take no rest, but eat the bread of carefulness; for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

Lo, children, and the fruit of the womb are a heritage and gift, that cometh of the LORD.

Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

{A Song of degrees.} Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

May Yahweh bless you from Zion, that you may see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life,

and that you may see your children's children. [May] peace [be] upon Israel.

Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

They are as grass of the roofs, That before it was drawn out withereth,

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you; We bless you in the name of Jehovah.

But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

O Israel, hope in the Lord, for the Lord exhibits loyal love, and is more than willing to deliver.

A song of ascents, by David. O Lord, my heart is not proud, nor do I have a haughty look. I do not have great aspirations, or concern myself with things that are beyond me.

Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.

Rise up, Lord, come to Your resting place,
You and Your powerful ark.

If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.

There I will make David strong; I have determined that my chosen king's dynasty will continue.

It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

Behold, bless ye Jehovah, all ye servants of Jehovah, That by night stand in the house of Jehovah.

The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.

Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God,

Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.

For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.

Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.

Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.

To him that doeth great wonders, by himself alone, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever.

To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.

To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever:

To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever:

To him that divided the Red Sea in sunder; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;

To him that led his people through the wilderness; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:

To him that smote great kings; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;

For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don't remember you, if I don't consider Jerusalem to be more important than my highest joy.

Remember, O Lord, against the sons of Edom,
The day of [the fall of] Jerusalem,
Who said “Down, down [with her]
To her very foundation.”

O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

LORD, I thank you with all of my heart; because you heard the words that I spoke, I will sing your praise before the heavenly beings.

I will give worship before your holy Temple, praising your name for your mercy and for your unchanging faith: for you have made your word greater than all your name.

In the day that I called thou answeredst me, Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

And they will sing of the ways of Yahweh, That great is the glory of Yahweh:

The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

Such knowledge is a wonder greater than my powers; it is so high that I may not come near it.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, Even the days that were ordained for me , When as yet there was none of them.

If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

Oh that thou wouldest slay the wicked, O +God! And ye men of blood, depart from me.

Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

They sharpen their tongues like a serpent’s;
Poison of a viper is under their lips. Selah.

The proud have hidden a trap for me, and cords;
They have spread a net by the wayside;
They have set traps for me. Selah.
