Psalms
Chapter 119
107
I am severely afflicted; give me life, O Lord, according to your word!
108
Accept my freewill offerings of praise, O Lord, and teach me your rules.
109
I hold my life in my hand continually, but I do not forget your law.
110
The wicked have laid a snare for me, but I do not stray from your precepts.
111
Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.
112
I incline my heart to perform your statutes forever, to the end.
113
I hate the double-minded, but I love your law.
114
You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word.
115
Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God.
116
Uphold me according to your promise, that I may live, and let me not be put to shame in my hope!
117
Hold me up, that I may be safe and have regard for your statutes continually!
118
You spurn all who go astray from your statutes, for their cunning is in vain.
119
All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross, therefore I love your testimonies.
120
My flesh trembles for fear of you, and I am afraid of your judgments.
121
I have done what is just and right; do not leave me to my oppressors.
122
Give your servant a pledge of good; let not the insolent oppress me.
123
My eyes long for your salvation and for the fulfillment of your righteous promise.
124
Deal with your servant according to your steadfast love, and teach me your statutes.
125
I am your servant; give me understanding, that I may know your testimonies!
126
It is time for the Lord to act, for your law has been broken.
127
Therefore I love your commandments above gold, above fine gold.
128
Therefore I consider all your precepts to be right; I hate every false way.
129
Your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soul keeps them.
130
The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.
131
I open my mouth and pant, because I long for your commandments.
132
Turn to me and be gracious to me, as is your way with those who love your name.
133
Keep steady my steps according to your promise, and let no iniquity get dominion over me.
134
Redeem me from man's oppression, that I may keep your precepts.
135
Make your face shine upon your servant, and teach me your statutes.
136
My eyes shed streams of tears, because people do not keep your law.
137
Righteous are you, O Lord, and right are your rules.
138
You have appointed your testimonies in righteousness and in all faithfulness.
139
My zeal consumes me, because my foes forget your words.
140
Your promise is well tried, and your servant loves it.
141
I am small and despised, yet I do not forget your precepts.
142
Your righteousness is righteous forever, and your law is true.
143
Trouble and anguish have found me out, but your commandments are my delight.
144
Your testimonies are righteous forever; give me understanding that I may live.
145
With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O Lord! I will keep your statutes.
146
I call to you; save me, that I may observe your testimonies.
