Psalm 119:1-176 KJ21

[1] Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. [2] Blessed are they that keep His testimonies and that seek Him with the whole heart. [3] They also do no iniquity; they walk in His ways. [4] Thou hast commanded us to keep Thy precepts diligently; [5] O that my ways were directed to keep Thy statutes! [6] Then shall I not be ashamed when I have respect unto all Thy commandments. [7] I will praise Thee with uprightness of heart when I shall have learned Thy righteous judgments. [8] I will keep Thy statutes; O forsake me not utterly! [9] How 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 hid 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 on Thy precepts and attend 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 and keep Thy word. [18] Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law. [19] I am a stranger on the earth; hide not Thy commandments from me. [20] My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath for Thy judgments at all times. [21] Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, that err from Thy commandments. [22] Remove from me reproach and contempt, for I have kept Thy testimonies. [23] Princes also sat and spoke against me, but Thy servant meditated on Thy statutes. [24] Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors. [25] My soul cleaveth unto the dust; quicken Thou me according to Thy word. [26] I have declared my ways, and Thou heardest me; teach me Thy statutes. [27] Make me to understand the way of Thy precepts; so shall I talk of Thy wondrous works. [28] My soul melteth from heaviness; strengthen Thou me according to Thy word. [29] Remove from me the way of lying, and grant me Thy law graciously. [30] I have chosen the way of truth; Thy judgments have I laid before me. [31] I have held fast unto Thy testimonies; O LORD, put me not to shame. [32] I will run in 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 Thou me in Thy way. [38] Establish Thy word unto Thy servant, who is devoted to the fear of Thee. [39] Turn away my reproach which I fear, for Thy judgments are good. [40] Behold, I have longed after Thy precepts; quicken me in Thy righteousness. [41] Let Thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even Thy salvation according to Thy word; [42] so shall I have the 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 keep Thy law continually, for ever and ever. [45] And I will walk in liberty, for I seek Thy precepts. [46] I will speak of Thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. [47] And I will delight myself in Thy commandments which I have loved. [48] My hands also will I lift up unto Thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate on Thy statutes. [49] Remember the word unto Thy servant, upon which Thou hast caused me to hope. [50] This is my comfort in my affliction, for Thy word hath quickened me. [51] The proud have held me greatly in derision, yet have I not departed from Thy law. [52] I remembered Thy judgments of old, O LORD, and have comforted myself. [53] Horror 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 kept Thy law. [56] This I had, because I kept Thy precepts. [57] Thou art my portion, O LORD; I have said that I would keep Thy words. [58] I entreated Thy favor 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 keep Thy commandments. [61] The cords of the wicked have robbed me, 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 keep 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 to Thy word. [66] Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I have believed Thy commandments. [67] Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now have I kept Thy word. [68] Thou art good, and doest good; teach me Thy statutes. [69] The proud have forged a lie against me, but I will keep Thy precepts with my whole heart. [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 for 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 will be glad when they see me, because I have hoped in Thy word. [75] I know, O LORD, that Thy judgments are right, and that Thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. [76] Let, I pray Thee, Thy merciful kindness 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 dealt perversely with me without cause; but I will meditate on Thy precepts. [79] Let those that fear Thee turn unto me, and those that have known Thy testimonies. [80] Let my heart be sound in Thy statutes, that I not be ashamed. [81] My soul fainteth for Thy salvation, but I hope in Thy word. [82] Mine eyes fail from seeking Thy word, saying, "When wilt Thou comfort me?" [83] For I have become like a wineskin 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 dug pits for me, which is not according to Thy law. [86] All Thy commandments are faithful; they persecute me wrongfully; help Thou me! [87] They had almost consumed me from the earth, but I forsook not Thy precepts. [88] Quicken me according to Thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of Thy mouth. [89] Forever, 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 continue this day according to Thine ordinances, for all are Thy servants. [92] Had not Thy law been my delight, I should 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] O how I love Thy law! It is my meditation all the day. [98] Thou, through Thy commandments, hast made me wiser than mine enemies; for Thy commands 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 ancients, because I keep Thy precepts. [101] I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep Thy word. [102] I have not departed 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 a light unto my path. [106] I have sworn an oath, and I will perform it, that I will keep 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 I do not forget Thy law. [110] The wicked have laid a snare for me, yet I erred not from Thy precepts. [111] Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever, for they are the rejoicing of my heart. [112] I have inclined mine heart to perform Thy statutes alway, even unto the end. [113] I hate vain thoughts, 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 evildoers, for I will keep the commandments of my God. [116] Uphold me according to 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 I will have regard unto Thy statutes continually. [118] Thou hast trodden down 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, seeking for Thy salvation and for the word of Thy righteousness. [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 Thee, 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 entering of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. [131] I opened my mouth and panted, for I longed for Thy commandments. [132] Look Thou upon me and be merciful unto me, as Thou used to do unto those that love Thy name. [133] Order my steps in Thy word, and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. [134] Deliver me from the oppression of man; so will I keep Thy precepts. [135] Make Thy face to shine upon Thy servant, and teach me Thy statutes. [136] Rivers of water run down mine eyes, because men keep not Thy law. [137] Righteous art Thou, O LORD, and upright are Thy judgments. [138] Thy testimonies that Thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful. [139] My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten Thy words. [140] Thy word is very pure; therefore Thy servant loveth it. [141] I am small and despised, yet I do not forget Thy precepts. [142] Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Thy law is the truth. [143] Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me, yet Thy commandments are my delights. [144] The righteousness of Thy testimonies is everlasting; give me understanding, and I shall live. [145] I cried with my whole heart: hear me, O LORD; I will keep Thy statutes. [146] I cried unto Thee: save me, and I shall keep Thy testimonies. [147] I awaited the dawning of the morning and cried; I hoped in Thy word. [148] Mine eyes awaited the night watches, that I might meditate on Thy word. [149] Hear my voice according unto Thy lovingkindness; O LORD, quicken me according to Thy judgment. [150] They draw nigh that follow after mischief; they are far from Thy law. [151] Thou art near, O LORD, and all Thy commandments are truth. [152] Concerning Thy testimonies, I have known of old that Thou hast founded them for ever. [153] Consider mine affliction and deliver me, for I do not forget Thy law. [154] Plead my cause and deliver 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 enemies, yet do I not depart from Thy testimonies. [158] I beheld the transgressors and was grieved, because they kept not Thy word. [159] Consider how I love Thy precepts; quicken me, O LORD, according to Thy lovingkindness. [160] Thy word is true from the beginning, and every one of Thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. [161] Princes have persecuted me without cause, but my heart standeth in awe of Thy word. [162] I rejoice at Thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. [163] I hate and abhor lying, 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 that love Thy law, and nothing shall cause them to fall. [166] LORD, I have hoped for Thy salvation and have done Thy commandments. [167] My soul hath kept Thy testimonies, and I love them exceedingly. [168] I have kept 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] My lips shall utter praise when Thou hast taught me Thy statutes. [172] My tongue shall speak of Thy word, for all Thy commandments are righteousness. [173] Let Thine hand 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. [176] I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Thy servant, for I do not forget Thy commandments.
