Blessed are the blameless in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.
2
Blessed are they that search out His testimonies; with their whole heart shall they seek after Him.
3
For they that work iniquity have not walked in His ways.
4
Thou hast enjoined Thy commandments, that we should keep them most diligently.
5
Would that my ways were directed to keep Thy statutes.
6
Then shall I not be ashamed, when I look on all Thy commandments.
7
I will confess Thee with uprightness of heart, when I have learned the judgements of Thy righteousness.
8
I will keep thy statutes; do not utterly forsake me.
9
Wherewithal shall a young man correct his way? By keeping Thy words.
10
With my whole heart have I sought after Thee, cast me not away from Thy commandments.
11
In my heart have I hid Thy sayings that I might not sin against Thee.
12
Blessed art Thou, O Lord, teach me Thy statutes.
13
With my lips have I declared all the judgements of Thy mouth.
14
In the way of Thy testimonies have I found delight, as much as in all riches.
15
On Thy commandments will I ponder, and I will understand Thy ways.
16
On Thy statutes will I meditate; I will not forget Thy words.
17
Give reward unto Thy servant, quicken me and I will keep Thy words.
18
O unveil mine eyes, and I shall perceive wondrous things out of Thy law.
19
I am a sojourner on the earth, hide not from me Thy commandments.
20
My soul hath longed to desire Thy judgements at all times.
21
Thou hast rebuked the proud; cursed are they that decline from Thy commandments.
22
Remove from me reproach and contempt, for after Thy testimonies have I sought.
23
For princes sat and they spake against me, but Thy servant pondered on Thy statutes.
24
For Thy testimonies are my meditation, and Thy statutes are my counselors.
25
My soul hath cleaved unto the earth; quicken me according to Thy word.
26
My ways have I declared, and Thou hast heard me; teach me Thy statutes.
27
Make me to understand the way of Thy statutes, and I will ponder on Thy wondrous works.
28
My soul hath slumbered from despondency, strengthen me with Thy words.
29
Remove from me the way of unrighteousness, and with Thy law have mercy on me.
30
I have chosen the way of truth, and Thy judgements have I not forgotten.
31
I have cleaved to Thy testimonies, O Lord; put me not to shame.
32
The way of Thy commandments have I run, when Thou didst enlarge my heart.
33
Set before me for a law, O Lord, the way of Thy statutes, and I will seek after it continually.
34
Give me understanding, and I will search out Thy law, and I will keep it with my whole heart.
35
Guide me in the path of Thy commandments, for I have desired it.
36
Incline my heart unto Thy testimonies and not unto covetousness.
37
Turn away mine eyes that I may not see vanity, quicken Thou me in Thy way.
38
Establish for Thy servant Thine oracle unto fear of Thee.
39
Remove my reproach which I have feared, for Thy judgements are good.
40
Behold, I have longed after Thy commandments; in Thy righteousness quicken me.
41
Let Thy mercy come also upon me, O Lord, even Thy salvation according to Thy word.
42
So shall I give an answer to them that reproach me, for I have hoped in Thy words.
43
And take not utterly out of my mouth the word of truth, for in Thy judgements have I hoped.
44
So shall I keep Thy law continually, for ever, and unto the ages of ages.
45
And I walked in spaciousness, for after Thy commandments have I sought.
46
And I spake of Thy testimonies before kings, and I was not ashamed.
47
And I meditated on Thy commandments which I have greatly loved.
48
And I lifted up my hands to Thy commandments which I have loved, and I pondered on Thy statutes.
49
Remember Thy words to Thy servant, wherein Thou hast made me to hope.
50
This hath comforted me in my humiliation, for Thine oracle hath quickened me.
51
The proud have transgressed exceedingly, but from Thy law have I not declined.
52
I remembered Thy judgements of old, O Lord, and was comforted.
53
Despondency took hold upon me because of the sinners who forsake Thy law.
54
Thy statutes were my songs in the place of my sojourning.
55
I remembered Thy name in the night, O Lord, and I kept Thy law.
56
This hath happened unto me because I sought after Thy statutes.
57
Thou art my portion, O Lord; I said that I would keep Thy law.
58
I entreated Thy countenance with my whole heart: Have mercy on me according to Thy word.
59
I have thought on Thy ways, and I have turned my feet back to Thy testimonies.
60
I made ready, and I was not troubled, that I might keep Thy commandments.
61
The cords of sinners have entangled me, but Thy law have I not forgotten.
62
At midnight I arose to give thanks unto Thee for the judgements of Thy righteousness.
63
I am a partaker with all them that fear Thee, and with them that keep Thy commandments.
64
The earth, O Lord, is full of Thy mercy; teach me Thy statutes.
65
Thou hast dealt graciously with Thy servant, O Lord, according to Thy word.
66
Goodness and discipline and knowledge teach Thou me, for in Thy commandments have I believed.
67
Before I was humbled, I transgressed; therefore Thy saying have I kept.
68
Thou art good, O Lord, and in Thy goodness teach me Thy statutes.
69
Multiplied against me hath been the unrighteousness of the proud; but as for me, with my whole heart will I search out Thy commandments.
70
Curdled like milk is their heart; but as for me, in Thy law have I meditated.
71
It is good for me that Thou hast humbled me, that I might learn Thy statutes.
72
The law of Thy mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver.
