This 384 is my comfort 5165 in my affliction 6040a, That Your word 565a has revived 2421a me.

119:51
The arrogant 2086 utterly 5704 3966 deride 3917b me, [Yet] I do not turn 5186 aside 5186 from Your law 8451.

119:52
I have remembered 2142 Your ordinances 4941 from of old 5769, O LORD 3068, And comfort 5162 myself.

119:53
Burning 2152 indignation 2152 has seized 270 me because 4480 of the wicked 7563, Who forsake 5800a Your law 8451.

119:54
Your statutes 2706 are my songs 2158 In the house 1004 of my pilgrimage 4033.

119:55
O LORD 3068, I remember 2142 Your name 8034 in the night 3915, And keep 8104 Your law 8451.

119:56
This 384 has become 1961 mine, That I observe 5341 Your precepts 6490.

119:57
¶ Heth. The LORD 3068 is my portion 2506; I have promised 559 to keep 8104 Your words 1697.

119:58
I sought 2470b Your favor 6440 with all 3605 [my] heart 3820; Be gracious 2603a to me according to Your word 565a.

119:59
I considered 2803 my ways 1870 And turned 7725 my feet 7272 to Your testimonies 5713b.

119:60
I hastened 2363a and did not delay 4102 To keep 8104 Your commandments 4687.

119:61
The cords 2256a of the wicked 7563 have encircled 5749a me, [But] I have not forgotten 7911 Your law 8451.

119:62
At midnight 2676 3915 I shall rise 6965 to give 3034 thanks 3034 to You Because 5921 of Your righteous 6664 ordinances 4941.

119:63
I am a companion 2270 of all 3605 those who 834 fear 3372a You, And of those who keep 8104 Your precepts 6490.

119:64
The earth 776 is full 4390 of Your lovingkindness 2617a, O LORD 3068; Teach 3925 me Your statutes 2706.

119:65
¶ Teth. You have dealt 6213a well 2896b with Your servant 5650, O LORD 3068, according to Your word 1697.

119:66
Teach 3925 me good 2898 discernment 2940 and knowledge 1847, For I believe 539 in Your commandments 4687.

119:67
Before 2962 I was afflicted 6031a I went 7683 astray 7683, But now 6258 I keep 8104 Your word 565a.

119:68
You are good 2896a and do 3190 good 3190; Teach 3925 me Your statutes 2706.

119:69
The arrogant 2086 have forged 2950 a lie 8267 against 5921 me; With all 3605 [my] heart 3820 I will observe 5341 Your precepts 6490.

119:70
Their heart 3820 is covered 2954 with fat 2459, [But] I delight 8173b in Your law 8451.

119:71
It is good 2895 for me that I was afflicted 6031a, That I may learn 3925 Your statutes 2706.

119:72
The law 8451 of Your mouth 6310 is better 2896a to me Than 4480 thousands 505 of gold 2091 and silver 3701 [pieces].

119:73
¶ Yodh. Your hands 3027 made 6213a me and fashioned 3559 me; Give 995 me understanding 995, that I may learn 3925 Your commandments 4687.

119:74
May those who fear 3372a You see 7200 me and be glad 8055, Because 3588 I wait 3176 for Your word 1697.

119:75
I know 3045, O LORD 3068, that Your judgments 4941 are righteous 6664, And that in faithfulness 530 You have afflicted 6031a me.

119:76
O 4994 may 4994 Your lovingkindness 2617a comfort 5162 me, According to Your word 565a to Your servant 5650.

119:77
May Your compassion 7356 come 935 to me that I may live 2421a, For Your law 8451 is my delight 8191.

119:78
May the arrogant 2086 be ashamed 954, for they subvert 5791 me with a lie 8267; [But] I shall meditate 7878 on Your precepts 6490.

119:79
May those who fear 3372a You turn 7725 to me, Even those who know 3045 Your testimonies 5713b.

119:80
May my heart 3820 be blameless 8549 in Your statutes 2706, So that I will not be ashamed 954.

119:81
¶ Kaph. My soul 5315 languishes 3615 for Your salvation 8668; I wait 3176 for Your word 1697.

119:82
My eyes 5869 fail 3615 [with longing] for Your word 565a, While I say 559, “When 4970 will You comfort 5162 me?”

119:83
Though 3588 I have become 1961 like a wineskin 4997 in the smoke 7008, I do not forget 7911 Your statutes 2706.

119:84
How 4100 many 4100 are the days 3117 of Your servant 5650? When 4970 will You execute 6213a judgment 4941 on those who persecute 7291 me?

119:85
The arrogant 2086 have dug 3738a pits 7882 for me, [Men] who 834 are not in accord with Your law 8451.

119:86
All 3605 Your commandments 4687 are faithful 530; They have persecuted 7291 me with a lie 8267; help 5826 me!

119:87
They almost 4592 destroyed 3615 me on earth 776, But as for me, I did not forsake 5800a Your precepts 6490.

119:88
Revive 2421a me according to Your lovingkindness 2617a, So that I may keep 8104 the testimony 5715 of Your mouth 6310.

119:89
¶ Lamedh. Forever 5769, O LORD 3068, Your word 1697 is settled 5324 in heaven 8064.

119:90
Your faithfulness 530 [continues] throughout all 1755 generations 1755; You established 3559 the earth 776, and it stands 5975.

119:91
They stand 5975 this day 3117 according to Your ordinances 4941, For all 3605 things 3605 are Your servants 5650.

119:92
If 3884a Your law 8451 had not been my delight 8191, Then 227 I would have perished 6 in my affliction 6040a.

119:93
I will never 5769 3808 forget 7911 Your precepts 6490, For by them You have revived 2421a me.

119:94
I am Yours, save 3467 me; For I have sought 1875 Your precepts 6490.

119:95
The wicked 7563 wait 6960a for me to destroy 6 me; I shall diligently 995 consider 995 Your testimonies 5713b.

119:96
I have seen 7200 a limit 7093 to all 3605 perfection 8502; Your commandment 4687 is exceedingly 3966 broad 7342.

119:97
¶ Mem. O how 4100 I love 157 Your law 8451! It is my meditation 7881 all 3605 the day 3117.

119:98
Your commandments 4687 make 2449 me wiser 2449 than 4480 my enemies 340, For they are ever 5769 mine.

119:99
I have more 4480 insight 7919a than 4480 all 3605 my teachers 3925, For Your testimonies 5715 are my meditation 7881.

119:100
I understand 995 more 4480 than 4480 the aged 2205, Because 3588 I have observed 5341 Your precepts 6490.

119:101
I have restrained 3607 my feet 7272 from every 3605 evil 7451b way 734, That I may keep 8104 Your word 1697.

119:102
I have not turned 5493 aside 5493 from Your ordinances 4941, For You Yourself 859 have taught 3384 me.

119:103
How 4100 sweet 4452 are Your words 565a to my taste 2441! [Yes, sweeter] than 4480 honey 1706 to my mouth 6310!

119:104
From Your precepts 6490 I get 995 understanding 995; Therefore 5921 3651 I hate 8130 every 3605 false 8267 way 734.

119:105
¶ Nun. Your word 1697 is a lamp 5216 to my feet 7272 And a light 216 to my path 5410b.

119:106
I have sworn 7650 and I will confirm 6965 it, That I will keep 8104 Your righteous 6664 ordinances 4941.

119:107
I am exceedingly 5704 3966 afflicted 6031a; Revive 2421a me, O LORD 3068, according to Your word 1697.

119:108
O 4994 accept 7521 the freewill 5071 offerings 5071 of my mouth 6310, O LORD 3068, And teach 3925 me Your ordinances 4941.

119:109
My life 5315 is continually 8548 in my hand 3709, Yet I do not forget 7911 Your law 8451.

119:110
The wicked 7563 have laid 5414 a snare 6341a for me, Yet I have not gone 8582 astray 8582 from Your precepts 6490.

119:111
I have inherited 5157 Your testimonies 5715 forever 5769, For they are the joy 8342 of my heart 3820.

119:112
I have inclined 5186 my heart 3820 to perform 6213a Your statutes 2706 Forever 5769, [even] to the end 6118.

119:113
¶ Samekh. I hate 8130 those who 5588 are double-minded 5588, But I love 157 Your law 8451.

119:114
You are my hiding 5643a place 5643a and my shield 4043; I wait 3176 for Your word 1697.

119:115
Depart 5493 from me, evildoers 7489a, That I may observe 5341 the commandments 4687 of my God 430.

119:116
Sustain 5564 me according to Your word 565a, that I may live 2421a; And do not let me be ashamed 954 of my hope 7664.

119:117
Uphold 5582 me that I may be safe 3467, That I may have 8159 regard 8159 for Your statutes 2706 continually 8548.

119:118
You have rejected 5541a all 3605 those who wander 7686 from Your statutes 2706, For their deceitfulness 8649b is useless 8267.

119:119
You have removed 7673a all 3605 the wicked 7563 of the earth 776 [like] dross 5509; Therefore 3651 I love 157 Your testimonies 5713b.

119:120
My flesh 1320 trembles 5568 for fear 6343 of You, And I am afraid 3372a of Your judgments 4941.

119:121
¶ Ayin. I have done 6213a justice 4941 and righteousness 6664; Do not leave 5117 me to my oppressors 6231.

119:122
Be surety 6148 for Your servant 5650 for good 2896b; Do not let the arrogant 2086 oppress 6231 me.

119:123
My eyes 5869 fail 3615 [with longing] for Your salvation 3444 And for Your righteous 6664 word 565a.

119:124
Deal 6213a with Your servant 5650 according to Your lovingkindness 2617a And teach 3925 me Your statutes 2706.

119:125
I am Your servant 5650; give 995 me understanding 995, That I may know 3045 Your testimonies 5713b.

119:126
It is time 6256 for the LORD 3068 to act 6213a, [For] they have broken 6565a Your law 8451.

119:127
Therefore 5921 3651 I love 157 Your commandments 4687 Above 4480 gold 2091, yes, above 4480 fine 6337 gold 6337.

119:128
Therefore 5921 3651 I esteem 3474 right 3474 all 3605 [Your] precepts 6490 concerning everything 3605, I hate 8130 every 3605 false 8267 way 734.

119:129
¶ Pe. Your testimonies 5715 are wonderful 6382; Therefore 5921 3651 my soul 5315 observes 5341 them.

119:130
The unfolding 6608 of Your words 1697 gives 215 light 215; It gives 995 understanding 995 to the simple 6612a.

119:131
I opened 6473 my mouth 6310 wide 6473 and panted 7602a, For I longed 2968 for Your commandments 4687.

119:132
Turn 6437 to me and be gracious 2603a to me, After Your manner 4941 with those who love 157 Your name 8034.

119:133
Establish 3559 my footsteps 6471 in Your word 565a, And do not let any 3605 iniquity 205 have 7980 dominion 7980 over me.

119:134
Redeem 6299 me from the oppression 6233 of man 120, That I may keep 8104 Your precepts 6490.

119:135
Make Your face 6440 shine 215 upon Your servant 5650, And teach 3925 me Your statutes 2706.

119:136
My eyes 5869 shed 3381 streams 6388 of water 4325, Because 5921 they do not keep 8104 Your law 8451.

119:137
¶ Tsadhe. Righteous 6662 are You, O LORD 3068, And upright 3477 are Your judgments 4941.

119:138
You have commanded 6680 Your testimonies 5713b in righteousness 6664 And exceeding 3966 faithfulness 530.

119:139
My zeal 7068 has consumed 6789 me, Because 3588 my adversaries 6862c have forgotten 7911 Your words 1697.

119:140
Your word 565a is very 3966 pure 6884, Therefore Your servant 5650 loves 157 it.

119:141
I am small 6810 and despised 959, [Yet] I do not forget 7911 Your precepts 6490.

119:142
Your righteousness 6666 is an everlasting 5769 righteousness 6664, And Your law 8451 is truth 571.

119:143
Trouble 6862b and anguish 4689 have come 4672 upon me, [Yet] Your commandments 4687 are my delight 8191.

119:144
