* ALEPH . Blessed [are ] those [who walk ] in the perfect way , who walk in the law of the LORD . * Blessed [are ] those that keep his testimonies [and that ] seek him with [their ] whole heart . * For those who do no iniquity walk in his ways . * Thou hast commanded [us ] to keep thy precepts diligently . * O that my ways were ordered to keep thy statutes ! * Then I shall not be ashamed , when I have insight unto all thy commandments . * I will praise thee with uprightness of heart when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments . * I will keep thy statutes ; O do not utterly forsake me . * BETH . With what shall a young man cleanse his way ? when he shall keep thy word . * With my whole heart I have sought thee ; O let me not err from thy commandments . * Thy [spoken ] word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee . * Blessed [art ] thou , O LORD : teach me thy statutes . * With my lips I have declared all the judgments of thy mouth . * I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies as above all riches . * I will meditate in thy precepts and consider thy ways . * I will delight myself in thy statutes ; I will not forget thy words . * GIMEL . Deal bountifully with thy servant [that ] I may live and keep thy word . * Open my eyes , and I shall behold the wonders of thy law . * I [am ] a stranger in the earth ; hide not thy commandments from me . * My soul is broken from desiring thy judgments at all times . * Thou hast reprehended the proud ; cursed are those who err from thy commandments . * Remove from me reproach and contempt , for I have kept thy testimonies . * Princes also sat [and ] spoke against me as thy servant spoke according to thy statutes . * For thy testimonies are my delight and my counsellors . * DALETH . My soul cleaves unto the dust ; quicken me according to thy word . * I have declared my ways , and thou didst hear me ; teach me thy statutes . * Make me to understand the way of thy precepts ; so I shall meditate of thy wondrous works . * My soul melts for heaviness ; strengthen me according to thy word . * Remove from me the way of lying , and from thy law grant me mercy . * I have chosen the way of truth ; I have laid thy judgments [before me ]. * I have stuck unto thy testimonies ; O LORD , put me not to shame . * I will run the way of thy commandments when thou shalt enlarge my heart . * HE . Teach me , O LORD , the way of thy statutes , and I shall keep it [unto ] the end . * Give me understanding , and I shall keep thy law ; [yea ], I shall observe it with [my ] whole heart . * Make me to go in the path of thy commandments , for therein do I delight . * Incline my heart unto thy testimonies and not to covetousness . * Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity , [and ] cause me to live in thy way . * Confirm thy word unto thy servant , who [is devoted ] to thy fear . * Turn away my reproach which I have feared , for thy judgments [are ] good . * Behold , I have longed after thy precepts ; cause me to live in thy righteousness . * VAU . Let thy mercy come unto me , O LORD , [even ] thy salvation , according to thy [spoken ] word . * And I shall answer him that reproaches me , [by saying ] that I trust in thy word . * And take not at any time the word of truth out of my mouth ; for I wait for thy judgment . * So shall I keep thy law continually from age to age . * And I will walk at liberty , for I sought thy commandments . * I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings and will not be ashamed . * And I will delight myself in thy commandments , which I have loved . * I will lift up My hands unto thy commandments , which I have loved , and I will meditate in thy statutes . * ZAIN . Remember the word unto thy servant , in which thou hast caused me to wait . * This [is ] my comfort in my affliction ; for thy [spoken ] word has caused me to live . * The proud have had me greatly in derision ; [yet ] I have not deviated from thy law . * I remembered thy judgments of old , O LORD , and have consoled myself . * Horror has taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law . * Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage . * I have remembered thy name , O LORD , in the night , and have kept thy law . * This I had , because I kept thy precepts . * CHETH My portion , O LORD , I have said , will be to keep thy words . * I intreated thy presence with [my ] whole heart ; be merciful unto me according to thy word . * I considered my ways and turned my feet unto thy testimonies . * I made haste and did not delay to keep thy commandments . * The company of the wicked have robbed me , [but ] I have not forgotten thy law . * At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of the judgments of thy righteousness . * I [am ] a companion of all [those ] that fear thee and of those that keep thy precepts . * The earth , O LORD , is full of thy mercy [and ] teaches me thy statutes . * TETH . Thou hast dealt well with thy servant , O LORD , according unto thy word , * [which ] teaches me discernment and knowledge , for I have believed thy commandments . * Before I was humbled , I went into error , but now I keep thy [spoken ] word . * Thou [art ] good and doest good ; teach me thy statutes . * The proud have forged a lie against me , [but ] I will keep thy precepts with [my ] whole heart . * Their heart became fat like grease , [but ] I delight in thy law . * [It was ] good for me that I have been humbled , that I might learn thy statutes . * The law of thy mouth [is ] better unto me than thousands of gold and silver . * JOD . Thy hands have made me and fashioned me ; give me understanding , and I shall learn thy commandments . * Those that fear thee will be glad when they see me because I have waited on thy word . * I know , O LORD , that thy judgments [are ] right and [that ] thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me . * Let , I pray thee , thy mercy be for my comfort , according to thy [spoken ] word unto thy servant . * Let thy mercy come unto me , that I may live , for thy law [is ] my delight . * Let the proud be ashamed , for they dealt perversely with me without a cause , [but ] I will meditate in thy precepts . * Let those that fear thee turn unto me and those that have known thy testimonies . * Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes that I not be ashamed . * CAPH . My soul faints [with desire ] for thy salvation as I await thy word . * Mine eyes fail for thy [spoken ] word , saying , When wilt thou comfort me ? * For I am become like a wine skin in the smoke ; [yet ] I have not forgotten thy statutes . * How many [are ] the days of thy servant ? When wilt thou execute judgment on those that persecute me ? * The proud have dug pits for me , but they do not [proceed ] according to thy law . * All thy commandments [are of the same ] truth ; they persecute me wrongfully ; help me . * They have almost consumed me upon earth , but I have not forsaken thy precepts . * Cause me to live according to thy mercy , so I shall keep the testimony of thy mouth . * LAMED . For ever , O LORD , thy word is settled in the heavens . * Thy truth [is ] from generation to generation ; thou hast established the earth , and it perseveres . * They persevere unto this day by thy ordinance ; for they [are ] all thy servants . * Unless thy law [had been ] my delight , I should have perished in my affliction . * I will never forget thy precepts ; for with them thou hast caused me to live . * I [am ] thine , keep me ; for I have sought thy precepts . * The wicked have waited for me to destroy me , [but ] I will consider thy testimonies . * I have seen an end of all perfection , [but ] thy commandment [is ] exceeding broad . * MEM . O how I love thy law ! it [is ] my meditation all the day . * Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies , for they are eternal unto me . * I have more understanding than all my teachers , for thy testimonies [have been ] my meditation . * I understand more than the elders because I keep thy precepts . * I have refrained my feet from every evil way , that I might keep thy word . * I have not departed from thy judgments , for thou hast taught me . * How sweet have been thy [spoken ] words unto my taste ! [yea ], [sweeter ] than honey to my mouth ! * Through thy precepts I have obtained understanding ; therefore I have hated every false way . * NUN . Thy word [is ] a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my way . * I have sworn , and I will perform [it ], that I will keep the judgments of thy righteousness . * I am afflicted very much ; cause me to live , O LORD , according to thy word . * Accept , I beseech thee , the freewill offerings of my mouth , O LORD , and teach me thy judgments . * My soul [is ] continually in my hand ; yet I do not forget thy law . * The wicked have laid a snare for me ; yet did not I err from thy precepts . * I have taken thy testimonies as a heritage for ever ; for they [are ] the rejoicing of my heart . * I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes always , [even unto ] the end . * SAMECH . I hate [vain ] thoughts ; but I live thy law . * Thou [art ] my hiding place and my shield ; I have waited for thy word . * Depart from me , ye evildoers ; for I will keep the commandments of my God . * Uphold me according unto thy word , and I shall live ; and let me not be ashamed of my hope . * Hold me up , and I shall be saved , and I shall delight in thy statutes continually . * Thou hast trodden down all those that err from thy statutes ; for their deceit [is ] falsehood . * Thou dost cause all the wicked of the earth to come undone [like ] dross ; therefore I have loved thy testimonies . * My flesh trembles for fear of thee , and I am afraid of thy judgments . * AIN . I have complied with judgment and righteousness ; do not leave me to my oppressors . * Be surety for thy servant for good ; do not let the proud do violence unto me . * Mine eyes fail for thy saving health and for the [spoken ] word of thy righteousness . * Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy , and teach me thy statutes . * I [am ] thy servant ; give me understanding , that I may know thy testimonies . * [It is ] time for [thee ], O LORD , to act ; [for ] they have dissipated thy law . * Therefore I have loved thy commandments above gold , [yea ], above fine gold . * Therefore I have esteemed all [thy ] precepts [concerning ] all [things to be ] right [and ] I have hated every false way . * PE . Thy testimonies [are ] wonderful ; therefore does my soul keep them . * The exposition of thy words gives light ; it gives understanding unto the simple . * I opened my mouth and panted ; for I longed for thy commandments . * Look thou upon me and be merciful unto me , as thou didst use to do unto those that love thy name . * Order my steps with thy word ; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me . * Ransom me from the violence of men , and I will keep thy precepts . * Make thy face to shine upon thy servant and teach me thy statutes . * Rivers of waters ran down my eyes because they did not keep thy law . * TZADDI . Righteous [art ] thou , O LORD , and upright [are ] thy judgments . * Thou hast commanded righteousness , [which consists of ] thy testimonies and thy truth . * My zeal has consumed me , because my enemies have forgotten thy words . * Thy word [is ] very pure ; therefore thy servant loves it . * I [am ] small and despised ; [yet ] I have not forgotten thy precepts . * Thy righteousness [is ] eternal righteousness , and thy law [is ] the truth . * Trouble and anguish found me ; [but ] thy commandments [were ] my delights . * Thy testimonies [are ] eternal righteousness ; give me understanding , and I shall live . * KOPH .

Consider my affliction and deliver me ; for I have not forgotten thy law . * Plead my cause and redeem me ; quicken me according to thy [spoken ] word . * Saving health [is ] far from the wicked , for they do not seek thy statutes . * Many [are ] thy tender mercies , O LORD : cause me to live according to thy judgments . * Many [are ] my persecutors and my enemies ; [yet ] I do not deviate from thy testimonies . * I beheld the transgressors and was grieved because they did not keep thy words . * Consider , O LORD , that I love thy precepts ; cause me to live according to thy mercy . * The beginning of thy word [is ] truth , and every one of the judgments of thy righteousness is eternal . * SCHIN . Princes have persecuted me without a cause , but my heart stands in awe of thy words . * I rejoice at thy [spoken ] word , as one that finds great spoil . * I hate and abhor lying , [but ] I love thy law . * Seven times a day do I praise thee because of the judgments of thy righteousness . * Those who love thy law have great peace , and nothing shall cause them to stumble . * LORD , I have waited for thy saving health and done thy commandments . * My soul has kept thy testimonies , and I have loved them exceedingly . * I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies , for all my ways [are ] before thee . * TAU .
