Let the proud be confounded, for they go wickedly about to destroy me; but I will be occupied in thy commandments.

But let such as fear thee, and know thy testimonies, be turned unto me.

O let my heart be sound in thy statutes, that I be not ashamed.

{Khaf} My soul longeth for thy salvation, for my good hope is in thy word.

Mine eyes long sore for thy word, saying, "O when wilt thou comfort me?"

For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do not I forget thy statutes.

How many are the days of thy servant? When wilt thou be avenged of mine adversaries?

The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.

All thy commandments are true. They persecute me falsely; O be thou my help.

They have almost made an end of me upon earth, but I forsake not thy commandments.

O quicken me after thy loving-kindness; and so shall I keep the testimonies of thy mouth.

{Lamed} O LORD, thy word endureth forever in heaven.

Thy truth also remaineth from one generation to another; thou hast laid the foundation of the earth, and it abideth.

If my delight were not in thy law, I should perish in my trouble.

I will never forget thy commandments, for with them thou quickenest me.

I am thine; O save me, for I seek thy commandments.

The ungodly lay wait for me to destroy me, but I consider thy testimonies.

I see that all things come to an end, but thy commandment is exceeding broad.

{Mem} O LORD, what love have I unto thy law! All the day long is my study in it.

Thou, through thy commandments, hast made me wiser than mine enemies; for they are ever with me.

I have more understanding than all my teachers; for thy testimonies are my study.

Yea, I am wiser than the aged, for I keep thy commandments.

I refrain my feet from every evil way, that I may keep thy words.

I shrink not from thy judgments, for thou teachest me.

O how sweet are thy words unto my throat! Yea, sweeter than honey unto my mouth!

Through thy commandments I get understanding; therefore I hate all false ways.

{Nun} Thy word is a lantern unto my feet and a light unto my paths.

I have sworn, and am steadfastly purposed, to keep thy righteous judgments.

I am troubled above measure; quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.

Let the freewill offerings of my mouth please thee, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.

My soul is always in my hand, yet do I not forget thy law.

The ungodly have laid a snare for me; but yet swerve I not from thy commandments.

Thy testimonies have I claimed as my heritage forever; and why? They are the very joy of my heart.

I apply my heart to fulfill thy statutes always, even unto the end.

{Samekh} I hate them that imagine evil things; but thy law do I love.

Thou art my defense and shield; and my trust is in thy word.

O establish me according unto thy word, that I may live; and let me not be disappointed of my hope.

Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe; yea, I shall ever be talking of thy statutes.

Thou treadest down all them that depart from thy statutes, for they imagine but deceit.

Thou puttest away all the ungodly of the earth like dross; therefore I love thy testimonies.

My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.

Be thou surety for thy servant to do him good, that the proud do me no wrong.

Mine eyes are wasted away with looking for thy health, and for the word of thy righteousness.

O deal with thy servant according unto thy loving mercy, and teach me thy statutes.

I am thy servant; O grant me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.

It is time for thee, O LORD, to lay to thine hand; for they have destroyed thy law.

For I love thy commandments above gold and precious stone.

Therefore hold I straight all thy commandments; and all false ways I utterly abhor.

{Pe} Thy testimonies are wonderful; therefore doth my soul keep them.

When thy word goeth forth, it giveth light and understanding unto the simple.

I open my mouth and draw in my breath, for my delight is in thy commandments.

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

Order my steps in thy word; and so shall no wickedness have dominion over me.

O deliver me from the wrongful dealings of men; and so shall I keep thy commandments.

Show the light of thy countenance unto thy servant, and teach me thy statutes.

Mine eyes gush out with water, because men keep not thy law.

{Tsadi} Righteous art thou, O LORD, and true is thy judgment.

My zeal hath even consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.

Thy word is tried to the uttermost, and thy servant loveth it.

I am small and of no reputation; yet do not I forget thy commandments.

Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is truth.

Trouble and heaviness have taken hold upon me; yet is my delight in thy commandments.

The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting; O grant me understanding, and I shall live.

{Kuf} I call with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD. I will keep thy statutes.

Yea, even upon thee do I call; help me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.

Early in the morning do I cry unto thee; for in thy word is my trust.

Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might be occupied in thy words.

Hear my voice, O LORD, according unto thy loving-kindness; quicken me, as thou art wont.

They draw nigh that of malice persecute me, and are far from thy law.

Be thou nigh at hand also, O LORD, for all thy commandments are true.

As concerning thy testimonies, I have known ever since the beginning that thou hast grounded them for ever.

{Res} O consider mine adversity, and deliver me, for I do not forget thy law.

Maintain thou my cause, and defend me; quicken me according unto thy word.

Health is far from the ungodly, for they regard not thy statutes.

Great is thy mercy, O LORD; quicken me, as thou art wont.

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

It grieveth me when I see the transgressors, because they keep not thy law.

Consider, O LORD, how I love thy commandments; O quicken me with thy loving-kindness.

Thy word is true from everlasting, all the judgments of thy righteousness endure for evermore.

{Shin} The princes persecute me without cause; but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.

I am as glad of thy word, as one that findeth great spoils.

As for lies, I hate and abhor them; but thy law do I love.

Seven times a day do I praise thee, because of thy righteous judgments.

Great is the peace that they have which love thy law, and they are not offended at it.

LORD, I look for thy saving health, and do after thy commandments.

My soul keepeth thy testimonies, and loveth them exceedingly.

I keep thy commandments and testimonies; for all my ways are before thee.

{Tav} Let my complaint come before thee, O LORD; give me understanding, according unto thy word.

O let my supplication come before thee; deliver me according to thy word.

My lips shall speak of thy praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.

Yea my tongue shall sing of thy word; for all thy commandments are right.

Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy commandments.

I long for thy saving health, O LORD; and in thy law is my delight.

O let my soul live, and praise thee, that thy judgments may help me.

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

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved, and he that keepeth thee will not sleep.

The LORD himself is thy keeper; the LORD is thy defense upon thy righthand,

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

The LORD preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, from this time forth for evermore.

Our feet shall stand in thy gates, O Jerusalem.
