1Blessed 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 unto
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.
9Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking
heed thereto 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 mine 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 unto
thy ways.
16I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not
forget thy word.
17Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and
keep thy word.
18Open thou mine 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 unto thy
judgments at all times.
21Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which 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 counsellors.
25My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken 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 unto 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 stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not
to shame.
32I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt
enlarge my heart.
33Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall
keep it unto the end.
34Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I
shall observe it with my whole heart.
35Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for
therein do I delight.
36Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to
covetousness.
37Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken
thou me in thy way.
38Stablish thy word unto 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: quicken me in
thy righteousness.
41Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy
salvation, according to thy word.
42So shall I have wherewith 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 up unto thy commandments,
which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.
49Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou
hast caused me to hope.
50This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath
quickened me.
51The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I
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.
57Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would
keep thy words.
58I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful
unto me according to thy word.
59I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto 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 unto 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.
65Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD,
according unto 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 fat as grease; but I delight in thy
law.
71It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I
might learn thy statutes.
72The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands
of gold and silver.
73Thy 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 unto thy servant.
77Let thy tender mercies come unto 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 unto me, and those that
have known thy testimonies.
80Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not
ashamed.
81My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy
word.
82Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou
comfort me?
83For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I
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 after
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.
88Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep
the testimony of thy mouth.
89For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
90Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast
established the earth, and it abideth.
91They continue this day according to thine ordinances:
for all are thy servants.
92Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have
perished in mine affliction.
93I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou
hast quickened 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.
97O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
98Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than
mine 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 unto my taste! yea, sweeter
than honey to my mouth!
104Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I
hate every false way.
105Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my
path.
106I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep
thy righteous judgments.
107I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD,
according unto thy word.
108Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my
mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.
109My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I 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 mine heart to perform thy statutes
alway, even unto the end.
113I 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 evildoers: for I will keep the
commandments of my God.
116Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live:
and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
117Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have
respect unto 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.
121I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine
oppressors.
122Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud
oppress me.
123Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of
thy righteousness.
124Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and
teach me thy statutes.
125I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may
know thy testimonies.
126It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made
void thy law.
127Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea,
above fine gold.
128Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all
things to be right; and I hate every false way.
129Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul
keep them.
130The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth
understanding unto the simple.
131I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy
commandments.
132Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou
usest to do unto 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 mine eyes, because they keep
not thy law.
137Righteous 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 mine enemies have
forgotten thy words.
140Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth
it.
141I am small and despised: yet do not I 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.
145I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will
keep thy statutes.
146I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy
testimonies.
147I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I
hoped in thy word.
148Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might
meditate in thy word.
149Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O
LORD, quicken 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.
153Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not
forget thy law.
154Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according
to thy word.
155Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not
thy statutes.
156Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me
according to thy judgments.
157Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not
decline from thy testimonies.
158I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because
they kept not thy word.
159Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD,
according to thy lovingkindness.
160Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of
thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
161Princes 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 which love thy law: and nothing
shall offend them.
166LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done 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.
169Let 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 thine 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.
