Blessed [are] the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. 2Blessed [are] they that keep his testimonies, [and that] seek him with the whole heart. 3They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. 4Thou hast commanded [us] to keep thy precepts diligently. 5O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! 6Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect to all thy commandments. 7I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. 8I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly. 9BETH. Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed [to it], according to thy word. 10With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. 11Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee. 12Blessed [art] thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes. 13With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. 14I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as [much as] in all riches. 15I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect to thy ways. 16I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. 17GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, [that] I may live, and keep thy word. 18Open thou my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. 19I [am] a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me. 20My soul breaketh for the longing [that it hath] to thy judgments at all times. 21Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed, who do err from thy commandments. 22Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies. 23Princes also did sit [and] speak against me: [but] thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. 24Thy testimonies also [are] my delight, [and] my counselors. 25DALETH. My soul cleaveth to the dust: revive thou me according to thy word. 26I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes. 27Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. 28My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according to thy word. 29Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. 30I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid [before me]. 31I have adhered to thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame. 32I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart. 33HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it [to] the end. 34Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yes, I shall observe it with [my] whole heart. 35Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for in that do I delight. 36Incline my heart to thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. 37Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity; [and] revive thou me in thy way. 38Establish thy word to thy servant, who [is devoted] to thy fear. 39Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments [are] good. 40Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: revive me in thy righteousness. 41VAU. Let thy mercies come also to me, O LORD, [even] thy salvation, according to thy word. 42So shall I have with which to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. 43And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. 44So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever. 45And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. 46I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. 47And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. 48My hands also will I lift to thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. 49ZAIN. Remember the word to thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. 50This [is] my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath revived me. 51The proud have had me greatly in derision: [yet] I have not declined from thy law. 52I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself. 53Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law. 54Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. 55I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law. 56This I had, because I kept thy precepts. 57CHETH. [Thou art] my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words. 58I entreated thy favor with [my] whole heart: be merciful to me according to thy word. 59I thought on my ways, and turned my feet to thy testimonies. 60I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. 61The bands of the wicked have robbed me: [but] I have not forgotten thy law. 62At midnight I will rise to give thanks to thee, because of thy righteous judgments. 63I [am] a companion of all [them] that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts. 64The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes. 65TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according to thy word. 66Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. 67Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. 68Thou [art] good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. 69The proud have forged a lie against me: [but] I will keep thy precepts with [my] whole heart. 70Their heart is as gross as fat; [but] I delight in thy law. 71[It is] good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. 72The law of thy mouth [is] better to me than thousands of gold and silver. 73JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. 74They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word. 75I know, O LORD, that thy judgments [are] right, and [that] thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. 76Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word to thy servant. 77Let thy tender mercies come to me, that I may live: for thy law [is] my delight. 78Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: [but] I will meditate in thy precepts. 79Let those that fear thee turn to me, and those that have known thy testimonies. 80Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I may not be ashamed. 81CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: [but] I hope in thy word. 82My eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me? 83For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; [yet] I do not forget thy statutes. 84How many [are] the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? 85The proud have digged pits for me, which [are] not according to thy law. 86All thy commandments [are] faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. 87They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts. 88Revive me after thy loving-kindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth. 89LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. 90Thy faithfulness [is] to all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. 91They continue this day according to thy ordinances: for all [are] thy servants. 92Unless thy law [had been] my delights, I should then have perished in my affliction. 93I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast revived me. 94I [am] thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts. 95The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: [but] I will consider thy testimonies. 96I have seen an end of all perfection: [but] thy commandment [is] exceeding broad. 97MEM. O how I love thy law! it [is] my meditation all the day. 98Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than my enemies: for they [are] ever with me. 99I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies [are] my meditation. 100I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. 101I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. 102I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. 103How sweet are thy words to my taste! [yes, sweeter] than honey to my mouth! 104Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. 105NUN. Thy word [is] a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. 106I have sworn, and I will perform [it], that I will keep thy righteous judgments. 107I am afflicted very much: revive me, O LORD, according to thy word. 108Accept, I beseech thee, the free-will-offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments. 109My soul [is] continually in my hand: yet I do not forget thy law. 110The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts. 111Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they [are] the rejoicing of my heart. 112I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes always, [even to] the end. 113SAMECH. I hate [vain] thoughts: but thy law do I love. 114Thou [art] my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. 115Depart from me, ye evil-doers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. 116Uphold me according to thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. 117Support me, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect to thy statutes continually. 118Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. 119Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth [like] dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. 120My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. 121AIN. I have done judgment and justice; leave me not to my oppressors. 122Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. 123My eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness. 124Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. 125I [am] thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. 126[It is] time for [thee], LORD, to work: [for] they have made void thy law. 127Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yes, above fine gold. 128Therefore I esteem all [thy] precepts [concerning] all [things to be] right; [and] I hate every false way. 129PE. Thy testimonies [are] wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. 130The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding to the simple. 131I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments. 132Look thou upon me, and be merciful to me, as thou usest to do to those that love thy name. 133Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. 134Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. 135Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: and teach me thy statutes. 136Rivers of waters run down my eyes, because they keep not thy law. 137TSADDI. Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, and upright [are] thy judgments. 138Thy testimonies [that] thou hast commanded [are] righteous and very faithful. 139My zeal hath consumed me; because my enemies have forgotten thy words. 140Thy word [is] very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. 141I [am] small and despised: [yet] I do not forget thy precepts. 142Thy righteousness [is] an everlasting righteousness, and thy law [is] the truth. 143Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: [yet] thy commandments [are] my delights. 144The righteousness of thy testimonies [is] everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. 145KOPH. I cried with [my] whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes. 146I cried to thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies. 147I came before the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. 148My eyes anticipated the [night] watches, that I might meditate in thy word. 149Hear my voice, according to thy loving-kindness: O LORD, revive me according to thy judgment. 150They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law. 151Thou [art] near, O LORD; and all thy commandments [are] truth. 152Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever. 153RESH. Consider my affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law. 154Plead my cause, and deliver me: revive me according to thy word. 155Salvation [is] far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes. 156Great [are] thy tender mercies, O LORD: revive me according to thy judgments. 157Many [are] my persecutors and my enemies; [yet] I do not decline from thy testimonies. 158I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word. 159Consider how I love thy precepts: revive me, O LORD, according to thy loving-kindness. 160Thy word [is] true [from] the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments [endureth] for ever. 161SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause; but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. 162I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. 163I hate and abhor lying: [but] thy law do I love. 164Seven times a day do I praise thee, because of thy righteous judgments. 165Great peace have they who love thy law: and nothing shall cause them to stumble. 166LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and performed thy commandments. 167My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly. 168I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways [are] before thee. 169TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word. 170Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word. 171My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes. 172My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments [are] righteousness. 173Let thy hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts. 174I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law [is] my delight. 175Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me. 176I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments. ‹Previous chapterPsalms 118Next chapterPsalms 120›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsPsalms 119 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
