[1] Blessed are they that are perfect in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.
[2] Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, that seek him with the whole heart.
[3] Yea, they do no unrighteousness; they walk in his ways.
[4] Thou hast commanded us thy precepts, that we should observe them diligently.
[5] Oh that my ways were established to observe thy statutes!
[6] Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
[7] I will give thanks unto thee with uprightness of heart, when I learn thy righteous judgments.
[8] I will observe thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
[9] Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
[10] With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
[11] Thy word have I laid up in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
[12] Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.
[13] With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
[14] I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.
[15] I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
[16] I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
[17] Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live; so will I observe thy word.
[18] Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
[19] I am a sojourner in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
[20] My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.
[21] Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do wander from thy commandments.
[22] Take away from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.
[23] Princes also sat and talked against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.
[24] Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.
[25] My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.
[26] I declared my ways, and thou answeredst me: teach me thy statutes.
[27] Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I meditate of thy wondrous works.
[28] My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.
[29] Remove from me the way of falsehood: and grant me thy law graciously.
[30] I have chosen the way of faithfulness: thy judgments have I set before me.
[31] I cleave unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.
[32] I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
[33] Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.
[34] Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
[35] Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.
[36] Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
[37] Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity, and quicken me in thy ways.
[38] Confirm thy word unto thy servant, which belongeth unto the fear of thee.
[39] Turn away my reproach whereof I am afraid; for thy judgments are good.
[40] Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.
[41] Let thy mercies also come unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.
[42] So shall I have an answer for him that reproacheth me; for I trust in thy word.
[43] And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.
[44] So shall I observe thy law continually for ever and ever.
[45] And I will walk at liberty; for I have sought thy precepts.
[46] I will also speak of thy testimonies before kings, and will not be ashamed.
[47] And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.
[48] I will lift up my hands also unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.
[49] Remember the word unto thy servant, because thou hast made me to hope.
[50] This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.
[51] The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not swerved from thy law.
[52] I have remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD, and have comforted myself.
[53] Hot indignation hath taken hold upon me, because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
[54] Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
[55] I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have observed thy law.
[56] This I have had, because I kept thy precepts.
[57] The LORD is my portion: I have said that I would observe thy words.
[58] I entreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.
[59] I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
[60] I made haste, and delayed not, to observe thy commandments.
[61] The cords of the wicked have wrapped me round; but I have not forgotten thy law.
[62] At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.
[63] I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that observe thy precepts.
[64] The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
[65] Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word.
[66] Teach me good judgment and knowledge; for I have believed in thy commandments.
[67] Before I was afflicted I went astray; but now I observe thy word.
[68] Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
[69] The proud have forged a lie against me: with my whole heart will I keep thy precepts.
[70] Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.
[71] It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
[72] The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
[73] Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
[74] They that fear thee shall see me and be glad; because I have hoped in thy word.
[75] I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are righteous, and that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.
[76] Let, I pray thee, thy lovingkindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
[77] Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
[78] Let the proud be ashamed; for they have overthrown me wrongfully: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
[79] Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and they shall know thy testimonies.
[80] Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.
[81] My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
[82] Mine eyes fail for thy word, while I say, When wilt thou comfort me?
[83] For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.
[84] How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
[85] The proud have digged pits for me, who are not after thy law.
[86] All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
[87] They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
[88] Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I observe the testimony of thy mouth.
[89] For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
[90] Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
[91] They abide this day according to thine ordinances; for all things are thy servants.
[92] Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
[93] I will never forget thy precepts; for with them thou hast quickened me.
[94] I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.
[95] The wicked have waited for me to destroy me; but I will consider thy testimonies.
[96] I have seen an end of all perfection; but thy commandment is exceeding broad.
[97] Oh how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
[98] Thy commandments make me wiser than mine enemies; for they are ever with me.
[99] I have more understanding than all my teachers; for thy testimonies are my meditation.
[100] I understand more than the aged, because I have kept thy precepts.
[101] I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might observe thy word.
[102] I have not turned aside from thy judgments; for thou hast taught me.
[103] How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
[104] Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
[105] Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and light unto my path,
[106] I have sworn, and have confirmed it, that I will observe thy righteous judgments.
[107] I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.
[108] Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.
[109] My soul is continually in my hand; yet do I not forget thy law.
[110] The wicked have laid a snare for me; yet went I not astray from thy precepts.
[111] Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever; for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
[112] I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes, for ever, even unto the end.
[113] I hate them that are of a double mind; but thy law do I love.
[114] Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
[115] Depart from me, ye evil-doers; that I may keep the commandments of my God.
[116] Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live; and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
[117] Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe, and shall have respect unto thy statutes continually.
[118] Thou hast set at nought all them that err from thy statutes; for their deceit is falsehood.
[119] Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.
[120] My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
[121] I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.
[122] Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.
[123] Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for thy righteous word.
[124] Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.
[125] I am thy servant, give me understanding; that I may know thy testimonies.
[126] It is time for the LORD to work; for they have made void thy law.
[127] Therefore I love thy commandments above gold, yea, above fine gold.
[128] Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.
[129] Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
[130] The opening of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
[131] I opened wide my mouth, and panted; for I longed for thy commandments.
[132] Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
[133] Order my footsteps in thy word; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
[134] Redeem me from the oppression of man: so will I observe thy precepts.
[135] Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
[136] Mine eyes run down with rivers of water, because they observe not thy law.
[137] Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.
[138] Thou hast commanded thy testimonies in righteousness and very faithfulness.
[139] My zeal hath consumed me, because mine adversaries have forgotten thy words.
[140] Thy word is very pure; therefore thy servant loveth it.
[141] I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.
[142] Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is truth.
[143] Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delight.
[144] Thy testimonies are righteous for ever: give me understanding, and I shall live.
[145] I have called with my whole heart; answer me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes.
[146] I have called unto thee; save me, and I shall observe thy testimonies.
[147] I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy words.
[148] Mine eyes prevented the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
[149] Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy judgments.
[150] They draw nigh that follow after wickedness; they are far from thy law.
[151] Thou art nigh, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.
[152] Of old have I known from thy testimonies, that thou hast founded them for ever.
[153] Consider mine affliction, and deliver me; for I do not forget thy law.
[154] Plead thou my cause, and redeem me: quicken me according to thy word.
[155] Salvation is far from the wicked; for they seek not thy statutes.
[156] Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.
[157] Many are my persecutors and mine adversaries; yet have I not swerved from they testimonies.
[158] I beheld the treacherous dealers, and was grieved; because they observed not thy word.
[159] Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.
[160] The sum of thy word is truth; and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
[161] Princes have persecuted me without a cause; but my heart standeth in awe of thy words.
[162] I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
[163] I hate and abhor falsehood; but thy law do I love.
[164] Seven times a day do I praise thee, because of thy righteous judgments.
[165] Great peace have they which love thy law; and they have none occasion of stumbling.
[166] I have hoped for thy salvation, O LORD, and have done thy commandments.
[167] My soul hath observed thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
[168] I have observed thy precepts and thy testimonies; for all my ways are before thee.
[169] Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word.
[170] Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word.
[171] Let my lips utter praise; for thou teachest me thy statutes.
[172] Let my tongue sing of thy word; for all thy commandments are righteousness.
[173] Let thine hand be ready to help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.
[174] I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight.
[175] Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.
