Psalms:119
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Blessed are the undefiled in the way ,
who walk in the law of the LORD .
*
Blessed are they that keep his testimonies ,
and that seek him with the whole heart .
*
They also do no iniquity :
they walk in his ways .
*
Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently .
*
O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes !
*
Then shall I not be ashamed ,
when I have respect 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 forsake me not utterly .
*
Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way ?
by taking heed thereto according to thy word .
*
With my whole heart have I sought thee :
O let me not wander from thy commandments .
*
Thy word have I hid in mine heart ,
that I might not sin against thee .
*
Blessed art thou ,
O LORD :
teach me thy statutes .
*
With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth .
*
I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies ,
as much as in all riches .
*
I will meditate in thy precepts ,
and have respect unto thy ways .
*
I will delight myself in thy statutes :
I will not forget thy word .
*
Deal bountifully with thy servant ,
that I may live ,
and keep thy word .
*
Open thou mine eyes ,
that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law .
*
I am a stranger in the earth :
hide not thy commandments from me .
*
My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times .
*
Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed ,
which do err from thy commandments .
*
Remove from me reproach and contempt ;
for I have kept thy testimonies .
*
Princes also did sit and speak against me :
but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes .
*
Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors .
*
My soul cleaveth unto the dust :
quicken thou me according to thy word .
*
I have declared my ways ,
and thou heardest me :
teach me thy statutes .
*
Make me to understand the way of thy precepts :
so shall I talk of thy wondrous works .
*
My soul melteth for heaviness :
strengthen thou me according unto thy word .
*
Remove from me the way of lying :
and grant me thy law graciously .
*
I have chosen the way of truth :
thy judgments have I laid 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 .
*
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 mine eyes from beholding vanity ;
and quicken thou me in thy way .
*
Stablish thy word unto thy servant ,
who is devoted to thy fear .
*
Turn away my reproach which I fear :
for thy judgments are good .
*
Behold ,
I have longed after thy precepts :
quicken me in thy righteousness .
*
Let thy mercies come also unto me ,
O LORD ,
even thy salvation ,
according to thy word .
*
So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me :
for I trust in thy word .
*
And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth ;
for I have hoped in thy judgments .
*
So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever .
*
And I will walk at liberty :
for I seek thy precepts .
*
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 .
*
My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments ,
which I have loved ;
and I will meditate in thy statutes .
*
Remember the word unto thy servant ,
upon which thou hast caused me to hope .
*
This is my comfort in my affliction :
for thy word hath quickened me .
*
The proud have had me greatly in derision :
yet have I not declined from thy law .
*
I remembered thy judgments of old ,
O LORD ;
and have comforted myself .
*
Horror hath 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 .
*
Thou art my portion ,
O LORD :
I have said that I would keep thy words .
*
I intreated thy favour with my whole heart :
be merciful unto me according to thy word .
*
I thought on my ways ,
and turned my feet unto thy testimonies .
*
I made haste ,
and delayed not to keep thy commandments .
*
The bands 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 thy righteous judgments .
*
I am a companion of all them that fear thee ,
and of them that keep thy precepts .
*
The earth ,
O LORD ,
is full of thy mercy :
teach me thy statutes .
*
Thou hast dealt well with thy servant ,
O LORD ,
according unto thy word .
*
Teach me good judgment and knowledge :
for I have believed thy commandments .
*
Before I was afflicted I went astray :
but now have I kept thy 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 is as fat as grease ;
but I delight in thy law .
*
It is good for me that I have been afflicted ;
that I might learn thy statutes .
*
The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver .
*
Thy hands have made me and fashioned me :
give me understanding ,
that I may learn thy commandments .
*
They that fear thee will be glad when they see me ;
because I have hoped in thy word .
*
I know ,
O LORD ,
that thy judgments are right ,
and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me .
*
Let ,
I pray thee ,
thy merciful kindness be for my comfort ,
according to thy word unto thy servant .
*
Let thy tender mercies 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 sound in thy statutes ;
that I be not ashamed .
*
My soul fainteth for thy salvation :
but I hope in thy word .
*
Mine eyes fail for thy word ,
saying ,
When wilt thou comfort me ?
*
For I am become like a bottle in the smoke ;
yet do I not forget thy statutes .
*
How many are the days of thy servant ?
when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me ?
*
The proud have digged pits for me ,
which are not after thy law .
*
All thy commandments are faithful :
they persecute me wrongfully ;
help thou me .
*
They had almost consumed me upon earth ;
but I forsook not thy precepts .
*
Quicken me after thy lovingkindness ;
so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth .
*
For ever ,
O LORD ,
thy word is settled in heaven .
*
Thy faithfulness is unto all generations :
thou hast established the earth ,
and it abideth .
*
They continue this day according to thine ordinances :
for all are thy servants .
*
Unless thy law had been my delights ,
I should then have perished in mine affliction .
*
I will never forget thy precepts :
for with them thou hast quickened me .
*
I am thine ,
save 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 .
*
O how love I thy law !
it is my meditation all the day .
*
Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies :
for they are ever with me .
*
I have more understanding than all my teachers :
for thy testimonies are my meditation .
*
I understand more than the ancients ,
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 are thy words unto my taste !
yea ,
sweeter than honey to my mouth !
*
Through thy precepts I get understanding :
therefore I hate every false way .
*
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet ,
and a light unto my path .
*
I have sworn ,
and I will perform it ,
that I will keep thy righteous judgments .
*
I am afflicted very much :
quicken me ,
O LORD ,
according unto 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 do I not forget thy law .
*
The wicked have laid a snare for me :
yet I erred not from thy precepts .
*
Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever :
for they are the rejoicing of my heart .
*
I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway ,
even unto the end .
*
I hate vain thoughts :
but thy law do I love .
*
Thou art my hiding place and my shield :
I hope in thy word .
*
Depart from me ,
ye evildoers :
for I will keep the commandments of my God .
*
Uphold me according unto thy word ,
that I may live :
and let me not be ashamed of my hope .
*
Hold thou me up ,
and I shall be safe :
and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually .
*
Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes :
for their deceit is falsehood .
*
Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross :
therefore I love thy testimonies .
*
My flesh trembleth for fear of thee ;
and I am afraid of thy judgments .
*
I have done judgment and justice :
leave me not to mine oppressors .
*
Be surety for thy servant for good :
let not the proud oppress me .
*
Mine eyes fail for thy salvation ,
and for the word of thy righteousness .
*
Deal with thy servant according unto 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 ,
LORD ,
to work :
for they have made void thy law .
*
Therefore I love thy commandments above gold ;
yea ,
above fine gold .
*
Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right ;
and I hate every false way .
*
Thy testimonies are wonderful :
therefore doth my soul keep them .
*
The entrance of thy words giveth light ;
it giveth 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 usest to do unto those that love thy name .
*
Order my steps in thy word :
and let not any iniquity have dominion over me .
*
Deliver me from the oppression of man :
so will I keep thy precepts .
*
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant ;
and teach me thy statutes .
*
Rivers of waters run down mine eyes ,
because they keep not thy law .
*
Righteous art thou ,
O LORD ,
and upright are thy judgments .
*
Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful .
*
My zeal hath consumed me ,
because mine enemies have forgotten thy words .
*
Thy word is very pure :
therefore thy servant loveth it .
*
I am small and despised :
yet do not I forget thy precepts .
*
Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness ,
and thy law is the truth .
*
Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me :
yet thy commandments are my delights .
*
The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting :
give me understanding ,
and I shall live .
*
I cried with my whole heart ;
hear me ,
O LORD :
I will keep thy statutes .
*
I cried unto thee ;
save me ,
and I shall keep thy testimonies .
*
I prevented the dawning of the morning ,
and cried :
I hoped in thy word .
*
Mine eyes prevent the night watches ,
that I might meditate in thy word .
*
Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness :
O LORD ,
quicken me according to thy judgment .
*
They draw nigh that follow after mischief :
they are far from thy law .
*
Thou art near ,
O LORD ;
and all thy commandments are truth .
*
Concerning thy testimonies ,
I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever .
*
Consider mine affliction ,
and deliver me :
for I do not forget thy law .
*
Plead my cause ,
and deliver me :
quicken me according to thy word .
*
Salvation is far from the wicked :
for they seek not thy statutes .
*
Great are thy tender mercies ,
O LORD :
quicken me according to thy judgments .
*
Many are my persecutors and mine enemies ;
yet do I not decline from thy testimonies .
*
I beheld the transgressors ,
and was grieved ;
because they kept not thy word .
*
Consider how I love thy precepts :
quicken me ,
O LORD ,
according to thy lovingkindness .
*
Thy word is true from the beginning :
and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever .
*
Princes have persecuted me without a cause :
but my heart standeth in awe of thy word .
*
I rejoice at thy word ,
as one that findeth great spoil .
*
I hate and abhor lying :
but thy law do I love .
*
Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments .
*
Great peace have they which love thy law :
and nothing shall offend them .
*
LORD ,
I have hoped for thy salvation ,
and done thy commandments .
*
My soul hath kept thy testimonies ;
and I love them exceedingly .
*
I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies :
for all my ways are before thee .
*
Let my cry come near before thee ,
O LORD :
give me understanding according to thy word .
*
Let my supplication come before thee :
deliver me according to thy word .
*
My lips shall utter praise ,
when thou hast taught me thy statutes .
*
My tongue shall speak of thy word :
for all thy commandments are righteousness .
*
Let thine hand help me ;
for I have chosen thy precepts .
*
I have longed for thy salvation ,
O LORD ;
and thy law is my delight .
*
Let my soul live ,
and it shall praise thee ;
and let thy judgments help me .
*
I have gone astray like a lost sheep ;
seek thy servant ;
for I do not forget thy commandments .
