Salmos 119
ALEPH. Blessed{H835} are they that are perfect{H8549} in the way,{H1870} Who walk{H1980} in the law{H8451} of Jehovah.{H3068}
Blessed{H835} are they that keep{H5341} his testimonies,{H5713} That seek{H1875} him with the whole heart.{H3820}
Yea, they do{H6466} no unrighteousness;{H5766} They walk{H1980} in his ways.{H1870}
Thou hast commanded{H6680} [us] thy precepts,{H6490} That we should observe{H8104} them diligently.{H3966}
Oh that{H305} my ways{H1870} were established{H3559} To observe{H8104} thy statutes!{H2706}
Then shall I not be put to shame,{H954} When I have respect{H5027} unto all thy commandments.{H4687}
I will give thanks{H3034} unto thee with uprightness{H3476} of heart,{H3824} When I learn{H3925} thy righteous{H6664} judgments.{H4941}
I will observe{H8104} thy statutes:{H2706} Oh forsake{H5800} me not utterly.{H3966}
BETH. Wherewith shall a young man{H5288} cleanse{H2135} his way?{H734} By taking heed{H8104} [thereto] according to thy word.{H1697}
With my whole heart{H3820} have I sought{H1875} thee: Oh let me not wander{H7686} from thy commandments.{H4687}
Thy word{H565} have I laid{H6845} up in my heart,{H3820} That I might not sin{H2398} against thee.
Blessed{H1288} art thou, O Jehovah:{H3068} Teach{H3925} me thy statutes.{H2706}
With my lips{H8193} have I declared{H5608} All the ordinances{H4941} of thy mouth.{H6310}
I have rejoiced{H7797} in the way{H1870} of thy testimonies,{H5715} As much as in{H5921} all riches.{H1952}
I will meditate{H7878} on thy precepts,{H6490} And have respect{H5027} unto thy ways.{H734}
I will delight{H8173} myself in thy statutes:{H2708} I will not forget{H7911} thy word.{H1697}
GIMEL. Deal bountifully{H1580} with thy servant,{H5650} that I may live;{H2421} So will I observe{H8104} thy word.{H1697}
Open{H1540} thou mine eyes,{H5869} that I may behold{H5027} Wondrous things{H6381} out of thy law.{H8451}
I am a sojourner{H1616} in the earth:{H776} Hide{H5641} not thy commandments{H4687} from me.
My soul{H5315} breaketh{H1638} for the longing{H8375} That it hath unto thine ordinances{H4941} at all times.{H6256}
Thou hast rebuked{H1605} the proud{H2086} that are cursed,{H779} That do wander{H7686} from thy commandments.{H4687}
Take{H1556} away from me reproach{H2781} and contempt;{H937} For I have kept{H5341} thy testimonies.{H5713}
Princes{H8269} also sat{H3427} and talked{H1696} against me; [But] thy servant{H5650} did meditate{H7878} on thy statutes.{H2706}
Thy testimonies{H5713} also are my delight{H8191} [And] my counsellors.{H582}
DALETH. My soul{H5315} cleaveth{H1692} unto the dust:{H6083} Quicken{H2421} thou me according to thy word.{H1697}
I declared{H5608} my ways,{H1870} and thou answeredst{H6030} me: Teach{H3925} me thy statutes.{H2706}
Make me to understand{H995} the way{H1870} of thy precepts:{H6490} So shall I meditate{H7878} on thy wondrous works.{H6381}
My soul{H5315} melteth{H1811} for heaviness:{H8424} Strengthen{H6965} thou me according unto thy word.{H1697}
Remove{H5493} from me the way{H1870} of falsehood;{H8267} And grant me thy law{H8451} graciously.{H2603}
I have chosen{H977} the way{H1870} of faithfulness:{H530} Thine ordinances{H4941} have I set{H7737} [before me].
I cleave{H1692} unto thy testimonies:{H5715} O Jehovah,{H3068} put me not to shame.{H954}
I will run{H7323} the way{H1870} of thy commandments,{H4687} When thou shalt enlarge{H7337} my heart.{H3820}
HE. Teach{H3384} me, O Jehovah,{H3068} the way{H1870} of thy statutes;{H2706} And I shall keep{H5341} it unto the end.{H6118}
Give me understanding,{H995} and I shall keep{H5341} thy law;{H8451} Yea, I shall observe{H8104} it with my whole heart.{H3820}
Make me to go{H1869} in the path{H5410} of thy commandments;{H4687} For therein do I delight.{H2654}
Incline{H5186} my heart{H3820} unto thy testimonies,{H5715} And not to covetousness.{H1215}
Turn away{H5674} mine eyes{H5869} from beholding{H7200} vanity,{H7723} And quicken{H2421} me in thy ways.{H1870}
Confirm{H6965} unto thy servant{H5650} thy word,{H565} Which [is in order] unto the fear{H3374} of thee.
Turn away{H5674} my reproach{H2781} whereof I am afraid;{H3025} For thine ordinances{H4941} are good.{H2896}
Behold, I have longed{H8373} after thy precepts:{H6490} Quicken{H2421} me in thy righteousness.{H6666}
VAV. Let thy lovingkindnesses{H2617} also come{H935} unto me, O Jehovah,{H3068} Even thy salvation,{H8668} according to thy word.{H565}
So shall I have{H1697} an answer{H6030} for him that reproacheth{H2778} me; For I trust{H982} in thy word.{H1697}
And take{H5337} not the word{H1697} of truth{H571} utterly{H3966} out of my mouth;{H6310} For I have hoped{H3176} in thine ordinances.{H4941}
So shall I observe{H8104} thy law{H8451} continually{H8548} For ever{H5769} and ever.{H5703}
And I shall walk{H1980} at liberty;{H7342} For I have sought{H1875} thy precepts.{H6490}
I will also speak{H1696} of thy testimonies{H5713} before kings,{H4428} And shall not be put to shame.{H954}
And I will delight{H8173} myself in thy commandments,{H4687} Which I have loved.{H157}
I will lift up{H5375} my hands{H3709} also unto thy commandments,{H4687} which I have loved;{H157} And I will meditate{H7878} on thy statutes.{H2706}
ZAYIN. Remember{H2142} the word{H1697} unto thy servant,{H5650} Because thou hast made me to hope.{H3176}
This is my comfort{H5165} in my affliction;{H6040} For thy word{H565} hath quickened{H2421} me.
The proud{H2086} have had me greatly{H3966} in derision:{H3887} [Yet] have I not swerved{H5186} from thy law.{H8451}
I have remembered{H2142} thine ordinances{H4941} of old,{H5769} O Jehovah,{H3068} And have comforted{H5162} myself.
Hot indignation{H2152} hath taken hold{H270} upon me, Because of the wicked{H7563} that forsake{H5800} thy law.{H8451}
Thy statutes{H2706} have been my songs{H2158} In the house{H1004} of my pilgrimage.{H4033}
I have remembered{H2142} thy name,{H8034} O Jehovah,{H3068} in the night,{H3915} And have observed{H8104} thy law.{H8451}
This I have had, Because I have kept{H5341} thy precepts.{H6490}
HHETH. Jehovah{H3068} is my portion:{H2506} I have said{H559} that I would observe{H8104} thy words.{H1697}
I entreated{H2470} thy favor{H6440} with my whole heart:{H3820} Be merciful{H2603} unto me according to thy word.{H565}
I thought{H2803} on my ways,{H1870} And turned{H7725} my feet{H7272} unto thy testimonies.{H5713}
I made haste,{H2363} and delayed{H4102} not, To observe{H8104} thy commandments.{H4687}
The cords{H2256} of the wicked{H7563} have wrapped{H5749} me round; [But] I have not forgotten{H7911} thy law.{H8451}
At midnight{H2676} I will rise{H6965} to give thanks{H3034} unto thee Because of thy righteous{H6664} ordinances.{H4941}
I am a companion{H2270} of all them that fear{H3372} thee, And of them that observe{H8104} thy precepts.{H6490}
The earth,{H776} O Jehovah,{H3068} is full{H4390} of thy lovingkindness:{H2617} Teach{H3925} me thy statutes.{H2706}
TETH. Thou hast dealt{H6213} well{H2896} with thy servant,{H5650} O Jehovah,{H3068} according unto thy word.{H1697}
Teach{H3925} me good{H2898} judgment{H2940} and knowledge;{H1847} For I have believed{H539} in thy commandments.{H4687}
Before I was afflicted{H6031} I went astray;{H7683} But now I observe{H8104} thy word.{H565}
Thou art good,{H2896} and doest good;{H2895} Teach{H3925} me thy statutes.{H2706}
The proud{H2086} have forged{H2950} a lie{H8267} against me: With my whole heart{H3820} will I keep{H5341} thy precepts.{H6490}
Their heart{H3820} is as fat{H2954} as grease;{H2459} But I delight{H8173} in thy law.{H8451}
It is good{H2896} for me that I have been afflicted;{H6031} That I may learn{H3925} thy statutes.{H2706}
The law{H8451} of thy mouth{H6310} is better{H2896} unto me Than thousands{H505} of gold{H2091} and silver.{H3701}
YODH. Thy hands{H3027} have made{H6213} me and fashioned{H6213} me: Give me understanding,{H995} that I may learn{H3925} thy commandments.{H4687}
They that fear{H3373} thee shall see{H7200} me and be glad,{H8055} Because I have hoped{H3176} in thy word.{H1697}
I know,{H3045} O Jehovah,{H3068} that thy judgments{H4941} are righteous,{H6664} And that in faithfulness{H530} thou hast afflicted{H6031} me.
Let, I pray thee, thy lovingkindness{H2617} be for my comfort,{H5162} According to thy word{H565} unto thy servant.{H5650}
Let thy tender mercies{H7356} come{H935} unto me, that I may live;{H2421} For thy law{H8451} is my delight.{H8191}
Let the proud{H2086} be put to shame;{H954} For they have overthrown{H5791} me wrongfully:{H8267} [But] I will meditate{H7878} on thy precepts.{H6490}
Let those that fear{H3373} thee turn{H7725} unto me; And they shall know{H3045} thy testimonies.{H5713}
Let my heart{H3820} be perfect{H8549} in thy statutes,{H2706} That I be not put to shame.{H954}
KAPH. My soul{H5315} fainteth{H3615} for thy salvation;{H8668} [But] I hope{H3176} in thy word.{H1697}
Mine eyes{H5869} fail{H3615} for thy word,{H565} While I say,{H559} When wilt thou comfort{H5162} me?
For I am become like a wine-skin{H4997} in the smoke;{H7008} Yet do I not forget{H7911} thy statutes.{H2706}
How many are the days{H3117} of thy servant?{H5650} When wilt thou execute{H6213} judgment{H4941} on them that persecute{H7291} me?
The proud{H2086} have digged{H3738} pits{H7882} for me, Who are not according to thy law.{H8451}
All thy commandments{H4687} are faithful:{H530} They persecute{H7291} me wrongfully;{H8267} Help{H5826} thou me.
They had almost{H4592} consumed{H3615} me upon earth;{H776} But I forsook{H5800} not thy precepts.{H6490}
Quicken{H2421} me after thy lovingkindness;{H2617} So shall I observe{H8104} the testimony{H5715} of thy mouth.{H6310}
LAMEDH. For ever,{H5769} O Jehovah,{H3068} Thy word{H1697} is settled{H5324} in heaven.{H8064}
Thy faithfulness{H530} is unto all{H1755} generations:{H1755} Thou hast established{H3559} the earth,{H776} and it abideth.{H5975}
They abide{H5975} this day{H3117} according to thine ordinances;{H4941} For all things are thy servants.{H5650}
Unless{H3884} thy law{H8451} had been my delight,{H8191} I should then have perished{H6} in mine affliction.{H6040}
I will never{H5769} forget{H7911} thy precepts;{H6490} For with them thou hast quickened{H2421} me.
I am thine, save{H3467} me; For I have sought{H1875} thy precepts.{H6490}
The wicked{H7563} have waited{H6960} for me, to destroy{H6} me; [But] I will consider{H995} thy testimonies.{H5713}
I have seen{H7200} an end{H7093} of all perfection;{H8502} [But] thy commandment{H4687} is exceeding{H3966} broad.{H7342}
MEM. Oh how love I{H157} thy law!{H8451} It is my meditation{H7881} all the day.{H3117}
Thy commandments{H4687} make me wiser{H2449} than mine enemies;{H341} For they are ever{H5769} with me.
I have more understanding{H7919} than all my teachers;{H3925} For thy testimonies{H5715} are my meditation.{H7881}
I understand{H995} more than the aged,{H2205} Because I have kept{H5341} thy precepts.{H6490}
I have refrained{H3607} my feet{H7272} from every evil{H7451} way,{H734} That I might observe{H8104} thy word.{H1697}
I have not turned{H5493} aside from thine ordinances;{H4941} For thou hast taught{H3384} me.
How sweet{H4452} are thy words{H565} unto my taste!{H2441} [Yea, sweeter] than honey{H1706} to my mouth!{H6310}
Through thy precepts{H6490} I get understanding:{H995} Therefore I hate{H8130} every false{H8267} way.{H734}
NUN. Thy word{H1697} is a lamp{H5216} unto my feet,{H7272} And light{H216} unto my path.{H5410}
I have sworn,{H7650} and have confirmed{H6965} it, That I will observe{H8104} thy righteous{H6664} ordinances.{H4941}
I am afflicted{H6031} very much:{H3966} Quicken{H2421} me, O Jehovah,{H3068} according unto thy word.{H1697}
Accept,{H7521} I beseech thee, the freewill-offerings{H5071} of my mouth,{H6310} O Jehovah,{H3068} And teach{H3925} me thine ordinances.{H4941}
My soul{H5315} is continually{H8548} in my hand;{H3709} Yet do I not forget{H7911} thy law.{H8451}
The wicked{H7563} have laid{H5414} a snare{H6341} for me; Yet have I not gone astray{H8582} from thy precepts.{H6490}
Thy testimonies{H5715} have I taken as a heritage{H5157} for ever;{H5769} For they are the rejoicing{H8342} of my heart.{H3820}
I have inclined{H5186} my heart{H3820} to perform{H6213} thy statutes{H2706} For ever, even unto the end.{H6118}
SAMEKH. I hate{H8130} them that are of a double mind;{H5588} But thy law{H8451} do I love.{H157}
Thou art my hiding-place{H5643} and my shield:{H4043} I hope{H3176} in thy word.{H1697}
Depart{H5493} from me, ye evil-doers,{H7489} That I may keep{H5341} the commandments{H4687} of my God.{H430}
Uphold{H5564} me according unto thy word,{H565} that I may live;{H2421} And let me not be ashamed{H954} of my hope.{H7664}
Hold thou me up,{H5582} and I shall be safe,{H3467} And shall have respect{H8159} unto thy statutes{H2706} continually.{H8548}
Thou hast set at nought{H5541} all them that err{H7686} from thy statutes;{H2706} For their deceit{H8649} is falsehood.{H8267}
Thou puttest away{H7673} all the wicked{H7563} of the earth{H776} like dross:{H5509} Therefore I love{H157} thy testimonies.{H5713}
My flesh{H1320} trembleth{H5568} for fear{H6343} of thee; And I am afraid{H3372} of thy judgments.{H4941}
AYIN. I have done{H6213} justice{H4941} and righteousness:{H6664} Leave{H3240} me not to mine oppressors.{H6231}
Be surety{H6148} for thy servant{H5650} for good:{H2896} Let not the proud{H2086} oppress{H6231} me.
Mine eyes{H5869} fail{H3615} for thy salvation,{H3444} And for thy righteous{H6664} word.{H565}
Deal{H6213} with thy servant{H5650} according unto thy lovingkindness,{H2617} And teach{H3925} me thy statutes.{H2706}
I am thy servant;{H5650} Give me understanding,{H995} That I may know{H3045} thy testimonies.{H5713}
It is time{H6256} for Jehovah{H3068} to work;{H6213} [For] they have made void{H6565} thy law.{H8451}
Therefore I love{H157} thy commandments{H4687} Above gold,{H2091} yea, above fine gold.{H6337}
Therefore I esteem all [thy] precepts{H6490} concerning all [things] to be right;{H3474} [And] I hate{H8130} every false{H8267} way.{H734}
PE. Thy testimonies{H5715} are wonderful;{H6382} Therefore doth my soul{H5315} keep{H5341} them.
The opening{H6608} of thy words{H1697} giveth light;{H215} It giveth understanding{H995} unto the simple.{H6612}
I opened{H6473} wide my mouth,{H6310} and panted;{H7602} For I longed{H2968} for thy commandments.{H4687}
Turn{H6437} thee unto me, and have mercy{H2603} upon me, As thou usest{H4941} to do unto those that love{H157} thy name.{H8034}
Establish{H3559} my footsteps{H6471} in thy word;{H565} And let not any iniquity{H205} have dominion{H7980} over me.
Redeem{H6299} me from the oppression{H6233} of man:{H120} So will I observe{H8104} thy precepts.{H6490}
Make thy face{H6440} to shine{H215} upon thy servant;{H5650} And teach{H3925} me thy statutes.{H2706}
Streams{H6388} of water{H4325} run down{H3381} mine eyes,{H5869} Because they observe{H8104} not thy law.{H8451}
TSADHE. Righteous{H6662} art thou, O Jehovah,{H3068} And upright{H3477} are thy judgments.{H4941}
Thou hast commanded{H6680} thy testimonies{H5713} in righteousness{H6664} And very{H3966} faithfulness.{H530}
My zeal{H7068} hath consumed{H6789} me, Because mine adversaries{H6862} have forgotten{H7911} thy words.{H1697}
Thy word{H565} is very{H3966} pure;{H6884} Therefore thy servant{H5650} loveth{H157} it.
I am small{H6810} and despised;{H959} [Yet] do I not forget{H7911} thy precepts.{H6490}
Thy righteousness{H6666} is an everlasting{H5769} righteousness,{H6664} And thy law{H8451} is truth.{H571}
Trouble{H6862} and anguish{H4689} have taken hold{H4672} on me; [Yet] thy commandments{H4687} are my delight.{H8191}
Thy testimonies{H5715} are righteous{H6664} for ever:{H5769} Give me understanding,{H995} and I shall live.{H2421}
QOPH. I have called{H7121} with my whole heart;{H3820} Answer{H6030} me, O Jehovah:{H3068} I will keep{H5341} thy statutes.{H2706}
I have called{H7121} unto thee; Save{H3467} me, And I shall observe{H8104} thy testimonies.{H5713}
I anticipated{H6923} the dawning of the morning,{H5399} and cried:{H7768} I hoped{H3176} in thy words.{H1697}
Mine eyes{H5869} anticipated{H6923} the night-watches,{H821} That I might meditate{H7878} on thy word.{H565}
Hear{H8085} my voice{H6963} according unto thy lovingkindness:{H2617} Quicken{H2421} me, O Jehovah,{H3068} according to thine ordinances.{H4941}
They draw nigh{H7126} that follow{H7291} after wickedness;{H2154} They are far{H7368} from thy law.{H8451}
Thou art nigh,{H7138} O Jehovah;{H3068} And all thy commandments{H4687} are truth.{H571}
Of old{H6924} have I known{H3045} from thy testimonies,{H5713} That thou hast founded{H3245} them for ever.{H5769}
RESH. Consider{H7200} mine affliction,{H6040} and deliver{H2502} me; For I do not forget{H7911} thy law.{H8451}
Plead{H7378} thou my cause,{H7379} and redeem{H1350} me: Quicken{H2421} me according to thy word.{H565}
Salvation{H3444} is far{H7350} from the wicked;{H7563} For they seek{H1875} not thy statutes.{H2706}
Great{H7227} are thy tender mercies,{H7356} O Jehovah:{H3068} Quicken{H2421} me according to thine ordinances.{H4941}
Many{H7227} are my persecutors{H7291} and mine adversaries;{H6862} [Yet] have I not swerved{H5186} from thy testimonies.{H5715}
I beheld{H7200} the treacherous,{H898} and was grieved,{H6962} Because they observe{H8104} not thy word.{H565}
Consider{H7200} how I love{H157} thy precepts:{H6490} Quicken{H2421} me, O Jehovah,{H3068} according to thy lovingkindness.{H2617}
The sum{H7218} of thy word{H1697} is truth;{H571} And every one of thy righteous{H6664} ordinances{H4941} [endureth] for ever.{H5769}
SHIN. Princes{H8269} have persecuted{H7291} me without a cause;{H2600} But my heart{H3820} standeth in awe{H6342} of thy words.{H1697}
I rejoice{H7797} at thy word,{H565} As one that findeth{H4672} great{H7227} spoil.{H7998}
I hate{H8130} and abhor{H8581} falsehood;{H8267} [But] thy law{H8451} do I love.{H157}
Seven times{H7651} a day{H3117} do I praise{H1984} thee, Because of thy righteous{H6664} ordinances.{H4941}
Great{H7227} peace{H7965} have they that love{H157} thy law;{H8451} And they have no occasion of stumbling.{H4383}
I have hoped{H7663} for thy salvation,{H3444} O Jehovah,{H3068} And have done{H6213} thy commandments.{H4687}
My soul{H5315} hath observed{H8104} thy testimonies;{H5713} And I love{H157} them exceedingly.{H3966}
I have observed{H8104} thy precepts{H6490} and thy testimonies;{H5713} For all my ways{H1870} are before thee.
TAV. Let my cry{H7440} come near{H7126} before{H6440} thee, O Jehovah:{H3068} Give me understanding{H995} according to thy word.{H1697}
Let my supplication{H8467} come{H935} before{H6440} thee: Deliver{H5337} me according to thy word.{H565}
Let my lips{H8193} utter{H5042} praise;{H8416} For thou teachest{H3925} me thy statutes.{H2706}
Let my tongue{H3956} sing{H6030} of thy word;{H565} For all thy commandments{H4687} are righteousness.{H6664}
Let thy hand{H3027} be ready to help{H5826} me; For I have chosen{H977} thy precepts.{H6490}
I have longed{H8373} for thy salvation,{H3444} O Jehovah;{H3068} And thy law{H8451} is my delight.{H8191}
Let my soul{H5315} live,{H2421} and it shall praise{H1984} thee; And let thine ordinances{H4941} help{H5826} me.
I have gone astray{H8582} like a lost{H6} sheep;{H7716} Seek{H1245} thy servant;{H5650} For I do not forget{H7911} thy commandments.{H4687}
