6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.

9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed [thereto] according to thy word.
[gsn]
[mhcc]
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.
[gsn]
12 Blessed [art] thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.
13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.

19 I [am] a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
[gsn]
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.
[gsn]
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.
[gsn]
24 Thy testimonies also [are] my delight [and] my counsellors.
25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.

29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.
[gsn]
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.

37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; [and] quicken thou me in thy way.
[gsn]
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.
[gsn]
40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.
[gsn]
41 VAU. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, [even] thy salvation, according to thy word.
[gsn]
[mhcc]
42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.
[gsn]
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.
[gsn]
46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.
[gsn]
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 ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
[gsn]
[mhcc]
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.
[gsn]
52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.
[gsn]
53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
[gsn]
54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
[gsn]
55 I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.
[gsn]
56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
[gsn]
57 CHETH. [Thou art] my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.
[gsn]
[mhcc]
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.
[gsn]
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.
[gsn]
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.
[gsn]
64 The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
[gsn]
65 TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word.
[gsn]
[mhcc]
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.
[gsn]
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.
[gsn]
71 [It is] good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
[gsn]
72 The law of thy mouth [is] better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
73 JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
[gsn]
[mhcc]
74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.
[gsn]
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.
[gsn]
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.
[gsn]
80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.
81 CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: [but] I hope in thy word.
[gsn]
[mhcc]
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.
[gsn]
84 How many [are] the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
[gsn]
85 The proud have digged pits for me, which [are] not after thy law.
[gsn]
86 All thy commandments [are] faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
[gsn]
87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
[gsn]
88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
89 LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
[gsn]
[mhcc]
90 Thy faithfulness [is] unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all [are] thy servants.
[gsn]
92 Unless thy law [had been] my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.
94 I [am] thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.
[gsn]
95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: [but] I will consider thy testimonies.
96 I have seen an end of all perfection: [but] thy commandment [is] exceeding broad.
[gsn]
97 MEM. O how love I thy law! it [is] my meditation all the day.

100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
[gsn]
103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! [yea, sweeter] than honey to my mouth!
104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
105 NUN. Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
[gsn]
[mhcc]
106 I have sworn, and I will perform [it], that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
[gsn]
107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.
108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.
[gsn]
109 My soul [is] continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.
[gsn]
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.
111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they [are] the rejoicing of my heart.
[gsn]
112 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, [even unto] the end.
113 SAMECH. I hate [vain] thoughts: but thy law do I love.
[gsn]
[mhcc]
114 Thou [art] my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
115 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
[gsn]
116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.
[gsn]
118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit [is] falsehood.
[gsn]
119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth [like] dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.
[gsn]
120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
[gsn]
121 AIN. I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.
[mhcc]
122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.
[gsn]
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.
[gsn]
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.
[gsn]
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.
[gsn]
129 PE. Thy testimonies [are] wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
[gsn]
[mhcc]
130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
[gsn]
131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
[gsn]
132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.
[gsn]
137 TZADDI. Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, and upright [are] thy judgments.
[mhcc]
138 Thy testimonies [that] thou hast commanded [are] righteous and very faithful.
[gsn]
139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.
140 Thy word [is] very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
