Blessed
are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law
of the Lord.
02 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies,
and that seek him with the whole heart.
03 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his
ways.
04 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts
diligently.
05 O that my ways were directed to keep thy
statutes!
06 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have
respect unto all thy commandments.
07 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart,
when I shall have learned thy righteous
judgments.
08 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not
utterly.
09 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way?
by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let
me not wander from thy commandments.
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, 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 judgments
of thy mouth.
14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies,
as much as in all riches.
15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have
respect unto thy ways.
16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will
not forget thy word.
17 Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may
live, and keep thy word.
18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold
wondrous things out of thy law.
19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy
commandments from me.
20 My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath
unto thy judgments at all times.
21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed,
which do err from thy commandments.
22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I
have kept thy testimonies.
23 Princes also did sit and speak against me: but
thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.
24 Thy testimonies also are my delight and my
counsellors.
25 My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou
me according to thy word.
26 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me:
teach me thy statutes.
27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts:
so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou
me according unto thy word.
29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me
thy law graciously.
30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments
have I laid before me.
31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O Lord, put
me not to shame.
32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when
thou shalt enlarge my heart.
33 Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes; and
I shall keep it unto the end.
34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy
law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments;
for therein do I delight.
36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not
to covetousness.
37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and
quicken thou me in thy way.
38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is
devoted to thy fear.
39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy
judgments are good.
40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts:
quicken me in thy righteousness.
41 Let thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord,
even thy salvation, according to thy word.
42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that
reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.
43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of
my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.
44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever
and ever.
45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy
precepts.
46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before
kings, and will not be ashamed.
47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments,
which I have loved.
48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy
commandments, which I have loved; and I will
meditate in thy statutes.
49 Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which
thou hast caused me to hope.
50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy
word hath quickened me.
51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet
have I not declined from thy law.
52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O Lord; and
have comforted myself.
53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the
wicked that forsake thy law.
54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house
of my pilgrimage.
55 I have remembered thy name, O Lord, in the
night, and have kept thy law.
56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
57 Thou art my portion, O Lord: I have said that
I would keep thy words.
58 I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be
merciful unto me according to thy word.
59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto
thy testimonies.
60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy
commandments.
61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I
have not forgotten thy law.
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto
thee because of thy righteous judgments.
63 I am a companion of all them that fear thee,
and of them that keep thy precepts.
64 The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach
me thy statutes.
65 Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Lord,
according unto thy word.
66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I
have believed thy commandments.
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now
have I kept thy word.
68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy
statutes.
69 The proud have forged a lie against me: but I
will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight
in thy law.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted;
that I might learn thy statutes.
72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than
thousands of gold and silver.
73 Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give
me understanding, that I may learn thy
commandments.
74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see
me; because I have hoped in thy word.
75 I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right,
and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for
my comfort, according to thy word unto thy
servant.
77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I
may live: for thy law is my delight.
78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt
perversely with me without a cause: but I will
meditate in thy precepts.
79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and
those that have known thy testimonies.
80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I
be not ashamed.
81 My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope
in thy word.
82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt
thou comfort me?
83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke;
yet do I not forget thy statutes.
84 How many are the days of thy servant? when
wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute
me?
85 The proud have digged pits for me, which are
not after thy law.
86 All thy commandments are faithful: they
persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I
forsook not thy precepts.
88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall
I keep the testimony of thy mouth.

not to mine oppressors.
122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not
the proud oppress me.
123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the
word of thy righteousness.
124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy
mercy, and teach me thy statutes.
125 I am thy servant; give me understanding, that
I may know thy testimonies.
126 It is time for thee, Lord, to work: for they
have made void thy law.
127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold;
yea, above fine gold.
128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts
concerning all things to be right; and I hate
every false way.
129 Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth
my soul keep them.

as thou usest to do unto those that love thy
name.

they keep not thy law.
137 Righteous art thou, O Lord, and upright are
thy judgments.
138 Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are
righteous and very faithful.
139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine
enemies have forgotten thy words.
140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant
loveth it.
141 I am small and despised: yet do not I forget
thy precepts.
142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting
righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me:
yet thy commandments are my delights.
144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is
everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall
live.
145 I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord:
