Make Your Word sure to Your servant, who is devoted to Your fear.

Turn away my shame which I fear; for Your judgments are good.

And I shall have something to answer him who mocks me; for I trust in Your Word.

And take not the Word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in Your judgments.

And I will always walk in a broad place; for I seek Your Commandments.

This is my comfort in my affliction; for Your Word has given me life.

I looked for Your favor with all my heart; be merciful to me according to Your Word.

I am a companion of all who fear You, and of those who keep Your Commandments.

Teach me good judgment and knowledge; for I have believed Your Commandments.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted, so that I might learn Your Precepts.

They who fear You will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in Your Word.

I beseech You, let Your merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to Your Word to Your servant.

Let Your tender mercies come to me so that I may live; for Your Law is my delight.

Let the proud be ashamed; for they perverted my cause with lying; I will think on Your Commandments.

Let those who fear You turn to me, and those who have known Your testimonies.

KAPH: My soul faints for Your salvation; I hope in Your Word.

My eyes fail for Your Word, saying, When will You comfort me?

For I am like a wineskin in the smoke; I do not forget Your Precepts.

The proud have dug pits for me, which are not according to Your Law.

They stand to this day according to Your ordinances; for all are Your servants.

I will never forget Your Commandments; for with them You have given me life.

I am Yours, save me; for I have sought Your Commandments.

The wicked have waited for me to destroy me; but I will think on Your testimonies.

Through Your Commandments You make me wiser than my enemies, for they are ever with me.

I have more understanding than all my teachers; for Your testimonies are my prayer.

I have not departed from Your judgments; for You have taught me.

I pray You, take the free-will offerings of my mouth, O Jehovah, and teach me Your judgments.

The wicked have laid a snare for me; yet I do not go astray from Your Commandments.

I have taken Your testimonies as an inheritance forever; for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

Depart from me, you evil-doers, for I will keep the Commandments of my God.

You have trampled all those who go astray from Your Precepts; for their deceit is falsehood.

My flesh trembles in fear of You; and I am afraid of Your judgments.

Be surety for Your servant for good; let not the proud press me down.

My eyes fail for Your salvation, and for the Word of Your righteousness.

It is time for Jehovah to work; for they have broken Your Law.

I opened my mouth and panted; for I longed for Your Commandments.

They draw near, those who follow after wickedness; they are far from Your Law.

RESH: Look on my affliction, and deliver me; for I do not forget Your Law.

Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do not seek Your Precepts.

SHIN: Princes have persecuted me without a cause, but my heart stands in fear of Your Word.

Great peace is to those who love Your Law, and there is no stumbling block for them.

I have kept Your Commandments and Your testimonies; for all my ways are before You.

My tongue shall speak Your Word, for all Your Commandments are righteousness.

Let Your hand help me; for I have chosen Your Precepts.

I have longed for Your salvation, O Jehovah; and Your Law is my delight.

I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Your servant; for I do not forget Your Commandments.

I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.

For there were set the thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; those who love you shall be blessed.

For my brothers and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within you.

Have mercy on us, O Jehovah, have mercy on us; for we are exceedingly filled with scorn.

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,

For the rod of the wicked shall not rest on the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands to iniquity.

A Song of degrees for Solomon. Unless Jehovah builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless Jehovah keeps the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.

It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows; for so He gives His beloved sleep.

For you shall surely eat the labor of your hands; you shall be happy, and all is well with you.

I wait for Jehovah, my soul waits, and in His Word I hope.

My soul waits for Jehovah more than morning-watchers who are watching for the morning.

Let Israel hope in Jehovah; for with Jehovah there is mercy, and with Him is plentiful redemption.

A Song of degrees; of David. O Jehovah, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes lofty; nor have I walked in great things, nor in things too wondrous for me.

until I find out a place for Jehovah, a dwelling-place for the Mighty One of Jacob.

Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy.

For Your servant David's sake, turn not away the face of Your anointed.

Jehovah has sworn to David in truth; He will not turn from it; Of the fruit of your body I will set on the throne for you.

Jehovah has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling-place.

This is My rest forever; here I will dwell; for I have desired it.

I also will clothe her priests with salvation; and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

There I will make the horn of David to bud; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed.

A Song of degrees; of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity!

like the dew of Hermon that came down on the mountains of Zion; for there Jehovah commanded the blessing, life forevermore.

praise Jehovah; for Jehovah is good; sing praises to His name, for it is full of delight.

For Jehovah has chosen Jacob to Himself, and Israel for His peculiar treasure.

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

He causes the vapors to rise from the end of the earth; He makes lightnings for the rain; He brings wind out of His storehouses.

who sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, on Pharaoh and on all his servants;

For Jehovah will judge His people, and He will have pity on His servants.

bless Jehovah, O house of Levi; you who fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah.

and made Israel to pass through the middle of it; for His mercy endures forever;

but threw Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea; for His mercy endures forever.

To Him who led His people through the wilderness; for His mercy endures forever.

To Him who struck great kings; for His mercy endures forever;

and killed famous kings; for His mercy endures forever:

Sihon king of the Amorites; for His mercy endures forever;

and Og the king of Bashan; for His mercy endures forever;

and gave their land for an inheritance; for His mercy endures forever;
