Psalm 119

Psalm 119:169-176

Tav

Let my cry of lamentation come near before You, O Yah; give me understanding according to Your word. Let my supplication come before You;
Deliver me according to Your word.
Let my lips pour forth praise,
For You teach me Your statutes.
Let my tongue answer with Your word,
For all Your commandments are righteous.
Let Your hand be ready to help me,
For I have chosen Your precepts.
I long for Your salvation, O Yah,
And Your law is my delight.
Let my soul live that it may praise You,
And let Your judgments help me.
I have wandered off like a lost sheep; search for Your servant.
For I have not forgotten Your commandments.

Psalm 119:161-168

Sin/Shin

Princes persecute me without cause,
But my heart is in dread of Your words.
I rejoice at Your word, as one who finds much spoil. I hate and abhor lying, but I love Your law.
Seven times a day I praise You,
Because of Your righteous judgments.
Those who love Your law have much peace,
And nothing causes them to stumble.
I hope for Your salvation, O Yah,
And I do Your commandments.
My soul keeps Your testimonies,
And I love them exceedingly.
I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies,
For all my ways are before You.

Psalm 119:153-160

Resh

See my affliction and rescue me,
For I do not forget Your law.
Plead my cause and redeem me;
Revive me according to Your word.
Salvation is far from the wicked,
For they do not seek Your statutes.
Many are Your compassions, O Yah;
Revive me according to Your judgments.
Many are my persecutors and my adversaries,
Yet I do not turn aside from Your testimonies.
I see the treacherous and loathe them,
Those who do not keep Your word.
See how I love Your precepts;
O Yah, revive me according to Your lovingkindness.
The sum of Your word is truth,
And every one of Your righteous judgments is everlasting.

Psalm 119:145-152

Qoph

I called with all my heart; answer me, O Yah!
I will observe Your statutes.
I called to You; save me
And I shall keep Your testimonies.
I eagerly greet the dawn and cry for help;
I wait for Your words.
My eyes eagerly greet the night watches,
That I may muse on Your word.
Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness;
O Yah, revive me, according to Your judgments.
Near are those who pursue wickedness;
They are far from Your law.
Near are You, O Yah,
And all Your commandments are truth.
Of old I have known from Your testimonies
That You have founded them forever.

Psalm 119:137-144

Tsadhe

Righteous are You, O Yah,
And upright are Your judgments.
In righteousness, You have commanded Your testimonies and in exceeding faithfulness.
My zeal has consumed me,
Because my adversaries have forgotten Your words. Your word is exceedingly refined,
Therefore Your servant loves it.
I am small and despised,
Yet I do not forget Your precepts.
Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Your law is truth.
Trouble and anguish have found me,
Yet Your commandments are my delight.
Righteous are Your testimonies forever;
Give me understanding that I may live.

Psalm 119:129-136

Pe

Your testimonies are wonderful;
Therefore my soul observes them.
The unfolding of Your words gives light;
It gives understanding to the simple.
I opened my mouth wide and panted,
For I longed for Your commandments.
Turn to me and be gracious to me,
According to Your judgment for those who love Your name.
Establish my steps in Your word,
And do not let any wickedness overpower me.
Redeem me from the oppression of man,
That I may keep Your precepts.
Make Your face shine upon Your servant,
And teach me Your statutes.
My eyes shed streams of water,
Because they do not keep Your law.

Psalm 119:121-128

Ayin

I have done justice and righteousness;
Do not leave me to my oppressors.
Be for Your slave a guarantee for good;
Do not let the arrogant oppress me.
My eyes fail with longing for Your salvation
And for Your righteous word.
Deal with Your slave according to Your lovingkindness
And teach me Your statutes.
I am Your slave; give me understanding,
That I may know Your testimonies.
It is time for Yah to act,
For they have broken Your law.
Therefore I love Your commandments
Above gold, even above fine gold.
Therefore I deem all Your precepts concerning everything to be right,
I hate every false way.

Psalm 119:113-120

Samekh

I hate those who are double-minded,
But I love Your law.
You are my hiding place and my shield;
I wait for Your word.
Depart from me, evildoers,
That I may observe the commandments of my Eloah.
Sustain me according to Your word, that I may live;
And do not put me to shame because of my hope.
Uphold me that I may be saved,
That I may have regard for Your statutes continually.
You have rejected all those who stray from Your statutes,
For their deceitfulness is a lie.
You remove all the wicked of the earth like dross;
Therefore I love Your testimonies.
My flesh quakes for dread of You,
And I am afraid of Your judgments.

Psalm 119:105-112

Nun

Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
I have sworn and I have confirmed,
To keep Your righteous judgments.
I am exceedingly afflicted;
O Yah, revive me according to Your word.
Oh be pleased with the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Yah, and teach me Your judgments.
My soul is continually in my hand,
Yet I do not forget Your law.
The wicked have laid a snare for me,
Yet I have not wandered from Your precepts.
I have inherited Your testimonies forever,
For they are the joy of my heart.
I have inclined my heart to do Your statutes
Forever, to the end.

Psalm 119:97-104

Mem

Oh how I love Your law!
It is my meditation all the day.
Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies, for they are mine forever.
I have more insight than all my teachers,
For Your testimonies are my meditation.
I perceive more than the aged,
Because I have observed Your precepts.
I have restrained my feet from every evil way,
That I may keep Your word.
I have not turned aside from Your judgments,
For You Yourself have taught me.
How sweet is Your word to my taste!
Sweeter than honey to my mouth!
From Your precepts I get perception;
Therefore I hate every false way.
