Psalm 119:1-176 NASB

[1] Blessed are those whose way is blameless, Who walk in the Law of the Lord. [2] Blessed are those who comply with His testimonies, And seek Him with all their heart. [3] They also do no injustice; They walk in His ways. [4] You have ordained Your precepts, That we are to keep them diligently. [5] Oh that my ways may be established To keep Your statutes! [6] Then I will not be ashamed When I look at all Your commandments. [7] I will give thanks to You with uprightness of heart, When I learn Your righteous judgments. [8] I will keep Your statutes; Do not utterly abandon me! [9] How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping it according to Your word. [10] With all my heart I have sought You; Do not let me wander from Your commandments. [11] I have treasured Your word in my heart, So that I may not sin against You. [12] Blessed are You, Lord; Teach me Your statutes. [13] With my lips I have told of All the ordinances of Your mouth. [14] I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, As much as in all riches. [15] I will meditate on Your precepts And regard Your ways. [16] I shall delight in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word. [17] Deal generously with Your servant, That I may live and keep Your word. [18] Open my eyes, that I may behold Wonderful things from Your Law. [19] I am a stranger on the earth; Do not hide Your commandments from me. [20] My soul is crushed with longing For Your ordinances at all times. [21] You rebuke the arrogant, the cursed, Who wander from Your commandments. [22] Take disgrace and contempt away from me, For I comply with Your testimonies. [23] Even though rulers sit and speak against me, Your servant meditates on Your statutes. [24] Your testimonies also are my delight; They are my advisers. [25] My soul clings to the dust; Revive me according to Your word. [26] I have told of my ways, and You have answered me; Teach me Your statutes. [27] Make me understand the way of Your precepts, And I will meditate on Your wonders. [28] My soul weeps because of grief; Strengthen me according to Your word. [29] Remove the false way from me, And graciously grant me Your Law. [30] I have chosen the faithful way; I have placed Your judgments before me. [31] I cling to Your testimonies; Lord, do not put me to shame! [32] I shall run the way of Your commandments, For You will enlarge my heart. [33] Teach me, the way of Your statutes, Lord, And I shall comply with it to the end. [34] Give me understanding, so that I may comply with Your Law And keep it with all my heart. [35] Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, For I delight in it. [36] Incline my heart to Your testimonies, And not to dishonest gain. [37] Turn my eyes away from looking at what is worthless, And revive me in Your ways. [38] Establish Your word to Your servant As that which produces reverence for You. [39] Take away my disgrace which I dread, For Your judgments are good. [40] Behold, I long for Your precepts; Revive me through Your righteousness. [41] May Your favor also come to me, Lord, Your salvation according to Your word; [42] So that I will have an answer for one who taunts me, For I trust in Your word. [43] And do not take the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, For I wait for Your judgments. [44] So I will keep Your Law continually, Forever and ever. [45] And I will walk at liberty, For I seek Your precepts. [46] I will also speak of Your testimonies before kings And shall not be ashamed. [47] I will delight in Your commandments, Which I love. [48] And I shall lift up my hands to Your commandments, Which I love; And I will meditate on Your statutes. [49] Remember the word to Your servant, In which You have made me hope. [50] This is my comfort in my misery, That Your word has revived me. [51] The arrogant utterly deride me, Yet I do not turn aside from Your Law. [52] I have remembered Your judgments from of old, Lord, And comfort myself. [53] Burning indignation has seized me because of the wicked, Who abandon Your Law. [54] Your statutes are my songs In the house of my pilgrimage. [55] Lord, I remember Your name in the night, And keep Your Law. [56] This has become mine, That I comply with Your precepts. [57] The Lord is my portion; I have promised to keep Your words. [58] I sought Your favor with all my heart; Be gracious to me according to Your word. [59] I considered my ways And turned my feet to Your testimonies. [60] I hurried and did not delay To keep Your commandments. [61] The snares of the wicked have surrounded me, But I have not forgotten Your Law. [62] At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You Because of Your righteous judgments. [63] I am a companion to all those who fear You, And to those who keep Your precepts. [64] The earth is full of Your goodness, Lord; Teach me Your statutes. [65] You have treated Your servant well, Lord, according to Your word. [66] Teach me good discernment and knowledge, For I believe in Your commandments. [67] Before I was afflicted I went astray, But now I keep Your word. [68] You are good and You do good; Teach me Your statutes. [69] The arrogant have forged a lie against me; With all my heart I will comply with Your precepts. [70] Their heart is insensitive, like fat, But I delight in Your Law. [71] It is good for me that I was afflicted, So that I may learn Your statutes. [72] The Law of Your mouth is better to me Than thousands of gold and silver pieces. [73] Your hands made me and fashioned me; Give me understanding, so that I may learn Your commandments. [74] May those who fear You see me and be glad, Because I wait for Your word. [75] I know, Lord, that Your judgments are righteous, And that You have afflicted me in faithfulness. [76] May Your favor comfort me, According to Your word to Your servant. [77] May Your compassion come to me so that I may live, For Your Law is my delight. [78] May the arrogant be put to shame, because they lead me astray with a lie; But I shall meditate on Your precepts. [79] May those who fear You turn to me, And those who know Your testimonies. [80] May my heart be blameless in Your statutes, So that I will not be ashamed. [81] My soul languishes for Your salvation; I wait for Your word. [82] My eyes fail with longing for Your word, While I say, “When will You comfort me?” [83] Though I have become like a wineskin in the smoke, I do not forget Your statutes. [84] How many are the days of Your servant? When will You execute judgment on those who persecute me? [85] The arrogant have dug pits for me, People who are not in accord with Your Law. [86] All Your commandments are faithful; They have persecuted me with a lie; help me! [87] They almost destroyed me on earth, But as for me, I did not abandon Your precepts. [88] Revive me according to Your faithfulness, So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth. [89] Forever, Lord, Your word stands in heaven. [90] Your faithfulness continues throughout generations; You established the earth, and it stands. [91] They stand this day by Your ordinances, For all things are Your servants. [92] If Your Law had not been my delight, Then I would have perished in my misery. [93] I will never forget Your precepts, For by them You have revived me. [94] I am Yours, save me; For I have sought Your precepts. [95] The wicked wait for me to destroy me; I will diligently consider Your testimonies. [96] I have seen a limit to all perfection; Your commandment is exceedingly broad. [97] How I love Your Law! It is my meditation all the day. [98] Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies, For they are ever mine. [99] I have more insight than all my teachers, For Your testimonies are my meditation. [100] I understand more than those who are old, Because I have complied with Your precepts. [101] I have restrained my feet from every evil way, So that I may keep Your word. [102] I have not turned aside from Your judgments, For You Yourself have taught me. [103] How sweet are Your words to my taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth! [104] From Your precepts I get understanding; Therefore I hate every false way. [105] Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. [106] I have sworn and I will confirm it, That I will keep Your righteous judgments. [107] I am exceedingly afflicted; Revive me, Lord, according to Your word. [108] Be pleased to accept the voluntary offerings of my mouth, Lord, And teach me Your judgments. [109] My life is continually in my hand, Yet I do not forget Your Law. [110] The wicked have set a trap for me, Yet I have not wandered from Your precepts. [111] I have inherited Your testimonies forever, For they are the joy of my heart. [112] I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes Forever, even to the end. [113] I hate those who are double-minded, But I love Your Law. [114] You are my hiding place and my shield; I wait for Your word. [115] Leave me, you evildoers, So that I may comply with the commandments of my God. [116] Sustain me according to Your word, that I may live; And do not let me be ashamed of my hope. [117] Sustain me so that I may be safe, That I may have regard for Your statutes continually.

[127] Therefore I love Your commandments Above gold, yes, above pure gold. [128] Therefore I carefully follow all Your precepts concerning everything, I hate every false way. [129] Your testimonies are wonderful; Therefore my soul complies with them. [130] The unfolding of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.
