And those who know Your name [who have experienced Your precious mercy] will put their confident trust in You,
For You, O Lord, have not abandoned those who seek You.

Concerning the deeds of men, by the word of Your lips
I have kept away from the paths of the violent.

As for God, His way is blameless.
The word of the Lord is tested [it is perfect, it is faultless];
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

There is no speech, nor are there [spoken] words [from the stars];
Their voice is not heard.

When You said, “Seek My face [in prayer, require My presence as your greatest need],” my heart said to You,
“Your face, O Lord, I will seek [on the authority of Your word].”

For the word of the Lord is right;
And all His work is done in faithfulness.

By the word of the Lord were the heavens made,
And all their host by the breath of His mouth.

I sought the Lord [on the authority of His word], and He answered me,
And delivered me from all my fears.

The young lions lack [food] and grow hungry,
But they who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.

“He who offers a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving honors Me;
And to him who orders his way rightly [who follows the way that I show him],
I shall show the salvation of God.”

In God, whose word I praise;
In God I have put my trust;
I shall not fear.
What can mere man do to me?

In God, whose word I praise,
In the Lord, whose word I praise,

The Lord gives the command [to take Canaan];
The women who proclaim the good news are a great host (army);

And not be like their fathers—
A stubborn and rebellious generation,
A generation that did not prepare its heart to know and follow God,
And whose spirit was not faithful to God.

Bless the Lord, you His angels,
You mighty ones who do His commandments,
Obeying the voice of His word!

He has remembered His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded and established to a thousand generations,

Until the time that his word [of prophecy regarding his brothers] came true,
The word of the Lord tested and refined him.

He sent [thick, oppressive] darkness and made the land dark;
And Moses and Aaron did not rebel against His words.

For He remembered His holy word
To Abraham His servant;

Then they despised the pleasant land [of Canaan];
They did not believe in His word nor rely on it,

He sent His word and healed them,
And rescued them from their destruction.

Beth.
How can a young man keep his way pure?
By keeping watch [on himself] according to Your word [conforming his life to Your precepts].

Your word I have treasured and stored in my heart,
That I may not sin against You.

I will delight in Your statutes;
I will not forget Your word.

Gimel.
Deal bountifully with Your servant,
That I may live and keep Your word [treasuring it and being guided by it day by day].

Daleth.
My earthly life clings to the dust;
Revive and refresh me according to Your word.

My soul dissolves because of grief;
Renew and strengthen me according to [the promises of] Your word.

Establish Your word and confirm Your promise to Your servant,
As that which produces [awe-inspired] reverence for You.

So I will have an answer for the one who taunts me,
For I trust [completely] in Your word [and its reliability].

And do not take the word of truth utterly out of my mouth,
For I wait for Your ordinances.

Zayin.
Remember [always] the word and promise to Your servant,
In which You have made me hope.

This is my comfort in my affliction,
That Your word has revived me and given me life.

Before I was afflicted I went astray,
But now I keep and honor Your word [with loving obedience].

May those who [reverently] fear You see me and be glad,
Because I wait for Your word.

Kaph.
My soul languishes and grows weak for Your salvation;
I wait for Your word.

Lamedh.
Forever, O Lord,
Your word is settled in heaven [standing firm and unchangeable].

I have restrained my feet from every evil way,
That I may keep Your word.

Nun.
Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.

I am greatly afflicted;
Renew and revive me [giving me life], O Lord, according to Your word.

You are my hiding place and my shield;
I wait for Your word.

Establish my footsteps in [the way of] Your word;
Do not let any human weakness have power over me [causing me to be separated from You].

Your word is very pure (refined);
Therefore Your servant loves it.

I rise before dawn and cry [in prayer] for help;
I wait for Your word.

My eyes anticipate the night watches and I awake before the call of the watchman,
That I may meditate on Your word.

Plead my cause and redeem me;
Revive me and give me life according to [the promise of] Your word.

The sum of Your word is truth [the full meaning of all Your precepts],
And every one of Your righteous ordinances endures forever.

I rejoice at Your word,
As one who finds great treasure.

Tav.
Let my [mournful] cry come before You, O Lord;
Give me understanding [the ability to learn and a teachable heart] according to Your word [of promise].

Let my supplication come before You;
Deliver me according to Your word.

Let my tongue sing [praise for the fulfillment] of Your word,
For all Your commandments are righteous.

I wait [patiently] for the Lord, my soul [expectantly] waits,
And in His word do I hope.

I will bow down [in worship] toward Your holy temple
And give thanks to Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth;
For You have magnified Your word together with Your name.

Even before there is a word on my tongue [still unspoken],
Behold, O Lord, You know it all.

He sends His command to the earth;
His word runs very swiftly.

He sends out His word and melts the ice;
He causes His wind to blow and the waters to flow.

He declares His word to Jacob,
His statutes and His ordinances to Israel.
