119:20
My soul breaketh for the longing That it hath unto thine ordinances at all times.
119:21
Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, That do wander from thy commandments.
119:22

119:51
The proud have had me greatly in derision: [Yet] have I not swerved from thy law.
119:52
I have remembered thine ordinances of old, O Jehovah, And have comforted myself.
119:53
Hot indignation hath taken hold upon me, Because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
119:54
Thy statutes have been my songs In the house of my pilgrimage.
119:55
I have remembered thy name, O Jehovah, in the night, And have observed thy law.
119:56
This I have had, Because I have kept thy precepts.
119:57
Jehovah is my portion: I have said that I would observe thy words.
119:58
I entreated thy favor with my whole heart: Be merciful unto me according to thy word.
119:59
I thought on my ways, And turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
119:60
I made haste, and delayed not, To observe thy commandments.
119:61
The cords of the wicked have wrapped me round; [But] I have not forgotten thy law.
119:62
At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee Because of thy righteous ordinances.
119:63
I am a companion of all them that fear thee, And of them that observe thy precepts.
119:64
The earth, O Jehovah, is full of thy lovingkindness: Teach me thy statutes.
119:65

Before I was afflicted I went astray; But now I observe thy word.
119:68
Thou art good, and doest good; Teach me thy statutes.
119:69
The proud have forged a lie against me: With my whole heart will I keep thy precepts.
119:70
Their heart is as fat as grease; But I delight in thy law.
119:71
It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I may learn thy statutes.
119:72
The law of thy mouth is better unto me Than thousands of gold and silver.
119:73
Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: Give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
119:74
They that fear thee shall see me and be glad, Because I have hoped in thy word.
119:75
I know, O Jehovah, that thy judgments are righteous, And that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.
119:76
Let, I pray thee, thy lovingkindness be for my comfort, According to thy word unto thy servant.
119:77
Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live; For thy law is my delight.
119:78
Let the proud be put to shame; For they have overthrown me wrongfully: [But] I will meditate on thy precepts.

119:80
Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes, That I be not put to shame.
119:81
My soul fainteth for thy salvation; [But] I hope in thy word.
119:82
Mine eyes fail for thy word, While I say, When wilt thou comfort me?
119:83
For I am become like a wine-skin in the smoke; Yet do I not forget thy statutes.
119:84
How many are the days of thy servant? When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
119:85
The proud have digged pits for me, Who are not according to thy law.
119:86
All thy commandments are faithful: They persecute me wrongfully; Help thou me.
119:87
They had almost consumed me upon earth; But I forsook not thy precepts.
119:88
Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; So shall I observe the testimony of thy mouth.
119:89
For ever, O Jehovah, Thy word is settled in heaven.
119:90
Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: Thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
119:91
They abide this day according to thine ordinances; For all things are thy servants.

I will never forget thy precepts; For with them thou hast quickened me.
119:94
I am thine, save me; For I have sought thy precepts.
119:95
The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me; [But] I will consider thy testimonies.
119:96
I have seen an end of all perfection; [But] thy commandment is exceeding broad.
119:97
Oh how love I thy law! It is my meditation all the day.
119:98
Thy commandments make me wiser than mine enemies; For they are ever with me.

119:101
I have refrained my feet from every evil way, That I might observe thy word.
119:102
I have not turned aside from thine ordinances; For thou hast taught me.
119:103
How sweet are thy words unto my taste! [Yea, sweeter] than honey to my mouth!
119:104
Through thy precepts I get understanding: Therefore I hate every false way.
119:105
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And light unto my path.
119:106
I have sworn, and have confirmed it, That I will observe thy righteous ordinances.
119:107
I am afflicted very much: Quicken me, O Jehovah, according unto thy word.
119:108
Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill-offerings of my mouth, O Jehovah, And teach me thine ordinances.
119:109

119:113
I hate them that are of a double mind; But thy law do I love.
119:114
Thou art my hiding-place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
119:115
Depart from me, ye evil-doers, That I may keep the commandments of my God.
119:116
Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live; And let me not be ashamed of my hope.
119:117
Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe, And shall have respect unto thy statutes continually.
119:118
Thou hast set at nought all them that err from thy statutes; For their deceit is falsehood.
119:119
Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: Therefore I love thy testimonies.
119:120
My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; And I am afraid of thy judgments.
119:121
I have done justice and righteousness: Leave me not to mine oppressors.
119:122
Be surety for thy servant for good: Let not the proud oppress me.
119:123
Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, And for thy righteous word.
119:124
Deal with thy servant according unto thy lovingkindness, And teach me thy statutes.
119:125
I am thy servant; Give me understanding, That I may know thy testimonies.
119:126
It is time for Jehovah to work; [For] they have made void thy law.
119:127
Therefore I love thy commandments Above gold, yea, above fine gold.
119:128
Therefore I esteem all [thy] precepts concerning all [things] to be right; [And] I hate every false way.
119:129
Thy testimonies are wonderful; Therefore doth my soul keep them.
119:130
The opening of thy words giveth light; It giveth understanding unto the simple.
119:131
I opened wide my mouth, and panted; For I longed for thy commandments.
119:132
Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me, As thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
119:133
Establish my footsteps in thy word; And let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
119:134
Redeem me from the oppression of man: So will I observe thy precepts.
119:135
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; And teach me thy statutes.
119:136
Streams of water run down mine eyes, Because they observe not thy law.
119:137
Righteous art thou, O Jehovah, And upright are thy judgments.
119:138
Thou hast commanded thy testimonies in righteousness And very faithfulness.
119:139
My zeal hath consumed me, Because mine adversaries have forgotten thy words.
119:140
Thy word is very pure; Therefore thy servant loveth it.
119:141
I am small and despised; [Yet] do I not forget thy precepts.
119:142
