Seeker Overlay ON

* ALEPH . Happy are they whose way is perfect , who walk in the law of the Lord . * Happy are they who keep his testimonies , that seek him with all their heart . * They also commit no injustice ; in his ways do they walk . * Thou thyself hast commanded us thy precepts , that we might keep diligently . * Oh that my ways were firmly directed to observe thy statutes ! * Then would I not be made ashamed , while I look at all thy commandments . * I will thank thee with uprightness of heart , when I learn thy righteous ordinances . * Thy statutes will I observe : oh forsake me not too greatly . * BETH . Wherewithal shall a youth keep his way pure ? by guarding it according to thy word . * With all my heart have I sought thee : oh let me not wander astray from thy commandments . * In my heart have I treasured up thy saying , in order that I may not sin against thee . * Blessed art thou , O Lord : teach me thy statutes . * With my lips have I related all the ordinances of thy mouth . * On the way of thy testimonies have I been glad , as over all wealth . * On thy precepts will I meditate , and direct my look unto thy paths . * In thy statutes will I seek my delight : I will not forget thy word . * GIMEL . Deal bountifully with thy servant : let me live , that I may observe thy word . * Open thou my eyes , that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law . * A stranger am I on the earth : hide not from me thy commandments . * My soul is broken from longing for thy ordinances at all times . * Thou hast rebuked the accursed proud , who go erringly astray from thy commandments . * Roll away from me reproach and contempt ; for thy testimonies have I kept . * Although even princes should sit and speak against me , thy servant would still meditate on thy statutes . * Also thy testimonies are my delight , my counsellors . * DALETH . My soul cleaveth unto the dust : revive thou me according to thy word . * My ways do I relate , and thou answerest me : teach me thy statutes . * Cause me to understand the way of thy precepts , that I may meditate on thy wonders . * My soul droppeth away from grief : sustain me according to thy word . * The way of falsehood do thou remove from me , and grant me graciously thy law . * The way of truth have I chosen : thy ordinances have I set . * I have adhered unto thy testimonies : O Lord , put me not to shame . * The way of thy commandments will I run ; for thou wilt enlarge my heart . * HE . Teach me , O Lord , the way of thy statutes , and I shall keep it in all its windings . * Give me understanding , that I may keep thy law , and I will observe it with all heart . * Guide me on the path of thy commandments ; for therein do I find my delight . * Incline my heart unto thy testimonies , and not to desire for gain . * Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity : on thy way do thou give me life . * Fulfill unto thy servant thy promise for those who are devoted to thy fear . * Cause to pass away my disgrace of which I have dread ; for thy ordinances are good . * Behold , I have longed after thy precepts : through thy righteousness do thou give my life . * VAV . And let thy kindness come unto me , O Lord , thy salvation , according to thy promise . * Then shall I have a word to answer the one that reproacheth me ; for I trust in thy word . * And snatch not the word of truth out of my mouth too greatly ; for I wait for thy ordinances . * So shall I observe thy law continually for ever and ever . * And I will walk in an open space ; for thy precepts have I sought . * And I will speak of thy testimonies before kings , and will not be ashamed . * And I will delight myself in thy commandments , which I love . * And so will I lift up my hands unto thy commandments , which I love , and I will meditate on thy statutes . * ZAYIN . Remember thy word unto thy servant , upon which thou hast caused me to wait . * This is my comfort in my affliction , that thy promise hath revived me . * The presumptuous have held me too greatly in derision : yet have I not departed away from thy law . * I remembered thy decrees from olden times , O Lord , and thus comforted myself . * Horror seized on me because of the wicked that forsake thy law . * Songs have thy statutes been unto me in the house of my pilgrimage . * I remembered in the night thy name , O Lord , and observed thy law . * This came to pass unto me , because I had kept thy precepts . * CHETH . My portion is the Lord , have I said , that I might observe thy words . * I make entreaty before thee with all my heart : be gracious unto me according to thy promise . * I have thought over my ways , and made my feet return unto thy testimonies . * I hastened , and delayed not to observe thy commandments . * Companies of wicked men have surrounded me ; but I have not forgotten thy law . * At midnights do I constantly rise to give thanks unto thee , because of thy righteous decrees . * An associate am I unto all that fear thee , and unto those that keep thy precepts . * Of thy kindness , O Lord , is the earth full : teach me thy statutes . * TETH . Thou hast shown goodness on thy servant , O Lord , according to thy word . * The best of discernment and knowledge do thou teach me ; for in thy commandments do I believe . * Before I was afflicted I was in error ; but now I observe thy saying . * Thou art good , and doing good : teach me thy statutes . * The presumptuous have invented falsehoods against me ; but I will with all my heart indeed keep thy precepts . * Gross as fat is their heart ; but I take truly delight in thy law . * It is well for me that I have been afflicted , in order that I might learn thy statutes . * Better is unto me the law of thy mouth than thousands of gold and silver . * YOD . Thy hands have made me and established me : give me understanding , that I may learn thy commandments . * Those that fear thee will see me and be rejoiced ; because I have waited for thy word . * I know , O Lord , that thy decrees are righteous , and that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me . * Let , I pray thee , thy kindness come to comfort me , according to thy promise unto thy servant . * Let thy mercies come unto me , that I may live ; for thy law is my delight . * Let the presumptuous be made ashamed ; because they have without a cause dealt perversely with me ; but I will indeed meditate on thy precepts . * Let those that fear thee return unto me , and those that know thy testimonies . * Let my heart be entire in thy statutes , in order that I may not be put to shame . * CAPH . My soul ardently desireth for thy salvation : for thy word do I wait . * My eyes look eagerly for thy promise , saying , When wilt thou comfort me ? * For I am become like a bottle in the smoke : do I not forget thy statutes . * How many are the days of thy servant ? when wilt thou execute justice on my persecutors ? * The presumptuous have dug pits for me , which is not in accordance with thy law . * All thy commandments are founded on truth : without cause they persecute me ; help thou me . * But little was wanting that they had consumed me upon earth ; but I have truly not forsaken thy precepts . * According to thy kindness give me life , that I may observe the testimony of thy mouth . * LAMED . To eternity , O Lord , standeth firm thy word with the heavens . * Unto all generations endureth thy faithfulness : thou hast established the earth , and she standeth . * According to thy ordinances they exist this day : for all are thy servants . * Unless thy law had been my delights , I should long since have been lost in my affliction . * Never will I forget thy precepts ; for with them thou hast kept me alive . * Thine am I , save me ; for thy precepts have I sought . * Wicked men have waited for me to destroy me ; I will reflect on thy testimonies . * Of all perfection have I seen the end ; thy commandment is exceedingly extended . * MEM . Oh how do I love thy law ! all the day is it my meditation . * Wiser than my enemy doth thy commandment make me ; for it is perpetually with me . * Above all my teachers have I obtained intelligence ; for thy testimonies are my meditation . * More than the elders do I possess understanding ; because thy precepts do I keep . * From every evil path have I withholden my feet , in order that I might observe thy word . * From thy ordinances have I not departed ; for thou hast instructed me . * How much sweeter are to my palate thy sayings than honey to my mouth ! * Through thy precepts shall I obtain understanding : therefore do I hate every path of falsehood . * NUN . A lamp unto my feet is thy word , and a light unto my path . * I have sworn , and I will perform it , to observe thy righteous ordinances . * I am afflicted exceedingly much : O Lord , revive me , according to thy word . * Receive in favor the freewill –offerings of my mouth , I beseech thee , O Lord , and teach me thy ordinances . * My life is in my hand continually : yet thy law do I not forget . * The wicked have laid a snare for me : yet have I not erred from thy precepts . * I have taken thy testimonies as a heritage to eternity ; for they are the joy of my heart . * I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes always , in all their ways . * SAMECH . Those of divided thoughts I hate ; but thy law do I love . * My shelter and my shield art thou : for thy word do I wait . * Depart from me , ye evildoers , that I may keep the commandments of God . * Uphold me according to thy promise , that I may live , and let me not be made ashamed of my hope . * Support me that I may be placed in safety , and I will direct my regard unto thy statutes continually . * Thou hast trodden down all that erringly stray from thy statutes ; for falsehood is their deceit . * Like dross dost thou put away all the wicked of the earth : therefore do I love thy testimonies . * My flesh trembleth shudderingly from dread of thee , and of thy decrees am I afraid . * ‘AYIN .
