Psalms 106:1-119:176 Praise ye LORD. O give thanks to LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness is forever.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Praise ye LORD. O give thanks to LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness is forever. ² Who can utter the mighty acts of LORD, or show forth all his praise? ³ Blessed are those who keep justice, and he who does righteousness at all times. ⁴ Remember me, O LORD, with the favor that thou bear to thy people. O visit me with thy salvation, ⁵ that I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance. ⁶ We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. we have done wickedly. ⁷ Our fathers did not understand thy wonders in Egypt. They did not remember the multitude of thy loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea. ⁸ Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known. ⁹ He also rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up. So he led them through the depths as through a wilderness. ¹⁰ And he saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. ¹¹ And the waters covered their adversaries; there was not one of them left. ¹² Then they believed his words. They sang his praise. ¹³ They soon forgot his works. They did not wait for his counsel, ¹⁴ but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and challenged God in the desert. ¹⁵ And he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul. ¹⁶ They also envied Moses in the camp, and Aaron the sanctified of LORD. ¹⁷ The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram. ¹⁸ And a fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked men. ¹⁹ They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image. ²⁰ Thus they changed their glory for the likeness of an ox that eats grass. ²¹ They forgot God their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt, ²² wondrous works in the land of Ham, and fearful things by the Red Sea. ²³ Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy. ²⁴ Yea, they despised the pleasant land. They did not believe his word, ²⁵ but murmured in their tents, and did not hearken to the voice of LORD. ²⁶ Therefore he swore to them, that he would overthrow them in the wilderness, ²⁷ and that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, and scatter them in the lands. ²⁸ They also joined themselves to Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. ²⁹ Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings, and the plague broke in upon them. ³⁰ Then Phinehas stood up, and executed judgment, and so the plague was stayed. ³¹ And that was reckoned to him for righteousness to all generations for evermore. ³² They also angered him at the waters of Meribah, so that it went ill with Moses because of them, ³³ because they were rebellious against his spirit, and he spoke ill-advisedly with his lips. ³⁴ They did not destroy the peoples, as LORD commanded them, ³⁵ but mingled themselves with the nations, and learned their works, ³⁶ and served their idols, which became a snare to them. ³⁷ Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons, ³⁸ and shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. And the land was polluted with blood. ³⁹ Thus they were defiled with their works, and played the harlot in their doings. ⁴⁰ Therefore the wrath of LORD was kindled against his people, and he abhorred his inheritance. ⁴¹ And he gave them into the hand of the nations. And those who hated them ruled over them. ⁴² Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand. ⁴³ Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity. ⁴⁴ Nevertheless he regarded their distress when he heard their cry. ⁴⁵ And he remembered his covenant for them, and relented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses. ⁴⁶ He also made them to be pitied by all those who carried them captive. ⁴⁷ Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise. ⁴⁸ Blessed be LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Truly. Praise ye LORD. ¹⁰⁷ ¹ O give thanks to LORD, For he is good, for his loving kindness is forever. ² Let the redeemed of LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary, ³ and gathered out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south. ⁴ They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way. They found no city of habitation. ⁵ Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. ⁶ Then they cried to LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. ⁷ He also led them by a straight way, that they might go to a city of habitation. ⁸ O that men would praise LORD for his loving kindness, and for his wonderful works to the sons of men! ⁹ For he satisfies the longing soul, and he fills the hungry soul with good, ¹⁰ even those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron, ¹¹ because they rebelled against the words of God, and scorned the counsel of the Most High. ¹² Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was none to help. ¹³ Then they cried to LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. ¹⁴ He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bonds apart. ¹⁵ O that men would praise LORD for his loving kindness, and for his wonderful works to the sons of men! ¹⁶ For he has broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron apart. ¹⁷ Fools are afflicted because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities. ¹⁸ Their soul abhors all manner of food, and they draw near to the gates of death. ¹⁹ Then they cry to LORD in their trouble, and he saves them out of their distresses. ²⁰ He sends his word, and heals them, and delivers them from their destructions. ²¹ O that men would praise LORD for his loving kindness, and for his wonderful works to the sons of men! ²² And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with singing. ²³ Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business in great waters, ²⁴ these men see the works of LORD, and his wonders in the deep. ²⁵ For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up the waves of it. ²⁶ They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths. Their soul melts away because of trouble. ²⁷ They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end. ²⁸ Then they cry to LORD in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distresses. ²⁹ He makes the storm a calm, so that the waves of it are still. ³⁰ Then they are glad because they are quiet, so he brings them to their desired haven. ³¹ O that men would praise LORD for his loving kindness, and for his wonderful works to the sons of men! ³² Let them also exalt him in the assembly of the people, and praise him in the seat of the elders. ³³ He turns rivers into a wilderness, and water springs into a thirsty ground, ³⁴ a fruitful land into a salt desert, for the wickedness of those who dwell therein. ³⁵ He turns a wilderness into a pool of water, and a dry land into water springs. ³⁶ And there he makes the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city of habitation, ³⁷ and sow fields, and plant vineyards, and get fruits of increase. ³⁸ He also blesses them, so that they are multiplied greatly, and he does not allow their cattle to decrease. ³⁹ Again, they are diminished and bowed down through oppression, trouble, and sorrow. ⁴⁰ He pours contempt upon rulers, and causes them to wander in the waste, where there is no way. ⁴¹ Yet he sets a needy man on high from affliction, and makes him families like a flock. ⁴² The upright shall see it, and be glad. And all iniquity shall stop her mouth. ⁴³ He who is wise will give heed to these things, and they will consider the loving kindnesses of LORD. ¹⁰⁸ ¹ My heart is fixed, O God, I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory. ² Awake, psaltery and harp. I myself will awake right early. ³ I will give thanks to thee, O LORD, among the peoples, and I will sing praises to thee among the nations. ⁴ For thy loving kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is to the skies. ⁵ Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth. ⁶ That thy beloved may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and answer us. ⁷ God has spoken in his holiness. I will exult. I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. ⁸ Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter. ⁹ Moab is my wash pot. Upon Edom I will cast my shoe. Over Philistia I will shout. ¹⁰ Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom? ¹¹ Have thou not cast us off, O God? And thou go not forth, O God, with our armies. ¹² Give us help against the adversary, for vain is the help of man. ¹³ Through God we shall do valiantly, for he it is who will tread down our adversaries. ¹⁰⁹ ¹ Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise, ² for they have opened against me the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue. ³ They have also encompassed me about with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause. ⁴ For my love they are my adversaries, but I make prayer. ⁵ And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. ⁶ Set thou a wicked man over him, and let an adversary stand at his right hand. ⁷ When he is judged, let him come forth guilty, and let his prayer be turned into sin. ⁸ Let his days be few, and let another take his office. ⁹ Let his sons be fatherless, and his wife a widow. ¹⁰ Let his sons be vagabonds, and beg, and let them seek out of their desolate places. ¹¹ Let a creditor exact all that he has, and let strangers make spoil of his labor. ¹² Let there be none to extend kindness to him, nor let there be any to have pity on his fatherless sons. ¹³ Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out. ¹⁴ Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with LORD, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. ¹⁵ Let them be before LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth, ¹⁶ because he did not remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, and the broken in heart, to kill. ¹⁷ Yea, he loved cursing, and it came to him. And he did not delight in blessing, and it was far from him. ¹⁸ He also clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, and it came into his inward parts like water, and like oil into his bones. ¹⁹ Let it be to him as the raiment with which he covers himself, and for the belt with which he is girded continually. ²⁰ This is the reward of my adversaries from LORD, and of those who speak evil against my soul. ²¹ But deal thou with me, O LORD the Lord, for thy name's sake. Because thy loving kindness is good, deliver thou me, ²² for I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. ²³ I am gone like the shadow when it declines. I am tossed up and down as the locust. ²⁴ My knees are weak through fasting, and my flesh fails of fatness. ²⁵ I also have become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head. ²⁶ Help me, O LORD my God. O save me according to thy loving kindness, ²⁷ that they may know that this is thy hand, that thou, LORD, have done it. ²⁸ Let them curse, but bless thou. When they arise, they shall be put to shame, but thy servant shall rejoice. ²⁹ Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor, and let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe. ³⁰ I will give great thanks to LORD with my mouth. Yea, I will praise him among the multitude. ³¹ For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul. ¹¹⁰ ¹ LORD says to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool. ² LORD will send forth the rod of thy strength out of Zion. Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. ³ Thy people offer themselves willingly in the day of thy power, in holy array. Out of the womb of the morning thou have the dew of thy youth. ⁴ LORD has sworn, and will not repent. Thou are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. ⁵ The Lord at thy right hand will strike through kings in the day of his wrath. ⁶ He will judge among the nations. He will fill with dead bodies. He will strike through the head in many countries. ⁷ He will drink of the brook in the way, therefore he will lift up the head. ¹¹¹ ¹ Praise ye LORD. I will give thanks to LORD with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation. ² The works of LORD are great, sought out by all those who have pleasure in it. ³ His work is honor and majesty, and his righteousness endures forever. ⁴ He has made his wonderful works to be remembered. LORD is gracious and merciful. ⁵ He has given food to those who fear him. He will ever be mindful of his covenant. ⁶ He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations. ⁷ The works of his hands are truth and justice. All his precepts are sure. ⁸ They are established forever and ever. They are done in truth and uprightness. ⁹ He has sent redemption to his people. He has commanded his covenant forever. Holy and reverend is his name. ¹⁰ The fear of LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and all who act accordingly have a good understanding. His praise endures forever. ¹¹² ¹ Praise ye LORD. Blessed is the man who fears LORD, who delights greatly in his commandments. ² His seed shall be mighty upon earth. The generation of the upright shall be blessed. ³ Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. ⁴ To the upright there arises light in the darkness. He is gracious, and merciful, and righteous. ⁵ It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He shall maintain his cause in judgment, ⁶ for he shall never be moved. A righteous man shall be had in everlasting remembrance. ⁷ He shall not be afraid of evil tidings. His heart is fixed, trusting in LORD. ⁸ His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, even until he looks over his adversaries. ⁹ He has scattered, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn shall be exalted with honor. ¹⁰ A wicked man shall see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of wicked men shall perish. ¹¹³ ¹ Praise ye LORD. Praise, O ye servants of LORD. Praise the name of LORD. ² Blessed be the name of LORD from this time forth and for evermore. ³ From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same LORD's name is to be praised. ⁴ LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. ⁵ Who is like LORD our God who has his seat on high, ⁶ and yet looks upon the low things in heaven and in the earth. ⁷ He raises up a poor man out of the dust, and lifts up a needy man from the dunghill, ⁸ that he may set him with rulers, even with the rulers of his people. ⁹ He makes the barren woman to keep house, a joyful mother of sons. Praise ye LORD. ¹¹⁴ ¹ When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language, ² Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion. ³ The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back. ⁴ The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs. ⁵ What ails thee, O thou sea, that thou flee? Thou Jordan, that thou turn back? ⁶ Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, ye little hills, like lambs? ⁷ Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, ⁸ who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters. ¹¹⁵ ¹ Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to thy name give glory. For thy loving kindness, and for thy truth's sake. ² Why should the nations say, Where is now their God? ³ But our God is in the heavens. He has done whatever he pleased. ⁴ Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. ⁵ They have mouths, but they speak not. They have eyes, but they see not. ⁶ They have ears, but they hear not. They have noses, but they smell not. ⁷ They have hands, but they handle not. They have feet, but they walk not, nor do they speak through their throat. ⁸ Those who make them shall be like them. Yea, everyone who trusts in them. ⁹ O Israel, trust thou in LORD. He is their help and their shield. ¹⁰ O house of Aaron, trust ye in LORD. He is their help and their shield. ¹¹ Ye who fear LORD, trust in LORD. He is their help and their shield. ¹² LORD has been mindful of us. He will bless, he will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron. ¹³ He will bless those who fear LORD, both small and great. ¹⁴ LORD increase you more and more, you and your sons. ¹⁵ Blessed are ye of LORD who made heaven and earth. ¹⁶ The heavens are the heavens of LORD, but the earth he has given to the sons of men. ¹⁷ The dead do not praise LORD, nor any who go down into silence, ¹⁸ but we will bless LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye LORD. ¹¹⁶ ¹ I love LORD because he hears my voice and my supplications. ² Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call as long as I live. ³ The cords of death encompassed me, and the pains of Sheol got hold upon me. I found trouble and sorrow. ⁴ Then I called upon the name of LORD. O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. ⁵ Gracious is LORD, and righteous. Yea, our God is merciful. ⁶ LORD preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me. ⁷ Return to thy rest, O my soul, for LORD has dealt bountifully with thee. ⁸ For thou have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from falling. ⁹ I will walk before LORD in the land of the living. ¹⁰ I believed, therefore I have spoken, but I was greatly afflicted. ¹¹ I said in my haste, All men are liars. ¹² What shall I render to LORD for all his benefits toward me? ¹³ I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of LORD. ¹⁴ I will pay my vows to LORD, yea, in the presence of all his people. ¹⁵ Precious in the sight of LORD is the death of his sanctified. ¹⁶ O LORD, truly I am thy servant. I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid. Thou have loosed my bonds. ¹⁷ I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of LORD. ¹⁸ I will pay my vows to LORD, yea, in the presence of all his people, ¹⁹ in the courts of LORD's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye LORD. ¹¹⁷ ¹ O praise LORD, all ye Gentiles, laud him, all ye peoples. ² For his loving kindness is great toward us, and the truth of LORD is forever. Praise ye LORD. ¹¹⁸ ¹ O give thanks to LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness is forever. ² Let Israel now say that his loving kindness is forever. ³ Let the house of Aaron now say that his loving kindness is forever. ⁴ Let those now who fear LORD say that his loving kindness is forever. ⁵ Out of my distress I called upon LORD. LORD answered me upon a large place. ⁶ LORD is on my side, I will not fear. What can man do to me? ⁷ LORD is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I shall look upon those who hate me. ⁸ It is better to take refuge in LORD than to put confidence in man. ⁹ It is better to take refuge in LORD than to put confidence in rulers. ¹⁰ All nations encompassed me around. In the name of LORD I will cut them off. ¹¹ They encompassed me around, yea, they encompassed me around. In the name of LORD I will cut them off. ¹² They encompassed me around like bees. They are quenched as the fire of thorns. In the name of LORD I will cut them off. ¹³ Thou thrusted greatly at me that I might fall, but LORD helped me. ¹⁴ LORD is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation. ¹⁵ The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous. The right hand of LORD does valiantly. ¹⁶ The right hand of LORD is exalted. The right hand of LORD does valiantly. ¹⁷ I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of LORD. ¹⁸ LORD has chastened me greatly, but he has not given me over to death. ¹⁹ Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them. I will give thanks to LORD. ²⁰ This is the gate of LORD. The righteous shall enter into it. ²¹ I will give thanks to thee, for thou have answered me, and have become my salvation. ²² The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. ²³ This is LORD's doing. It is marvelous in our eyes. ²⁴ This is the day which LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. ²⁵ Save now, we beseech thee, O LORD. O LORD, we beseech thee, send now prosperity. ²⁶ Blessed be he who comes in the name of LORD. We have blessed you out of the house of LORD. ²⁷ LORD is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar. ²⁸ Thou are my God, and I will give thanks to thee. Thou are my God, I will exalt thee. ²⁹ O give thanks to LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness is forever. ¹¹⁹ ¹ Blessed are those who are perfect in the way, who walk in the law of LORD. ² Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, that seek him with the whole heart. ³ Yea, they do no unrighteousness. They walk in his ways. ⁴ Thou have commanded thy precepts, that we should observe them diligently. ⁵ O that my ways were established to observe thy statutes! ⁶ Then I shall not be put to shame when I have respect for all thy commandments. ⁷ I will give thanks to thee with uprightness of heart when I learn thy righteous judgments. ⁸ I will observe thy statutes. O forsake me not utterly. ⁹ With what shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to thy word. ¹⁰ With my whole heart I have sought thee. O let me not wander from thy commandments. ¹¹ I have laid thy word up in my heart that I might not sin against thee. ¹² Blessed are thou, O LORD. Teach me thy statutes. ¹³ With my lips I have declared all the ordinances of thy mouth. ¹⁴ I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies as much as in all riches. ¹⁵ I will meditate on thy precepts, and have respect for thy ways. ¹⁶ I will delight myself in thy statutes. I will not forget thy word. ¹⁷ Deal bountifully with thy servant that I may live, so I will observe thy word. ¹⁸ Open thou my eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. ¹⁹ I am a sojourner in the earth. Hide not thy commandments from me. ²⁰ My soul breaks for the longing that it has to thine ordinances at all times. ²¹ Thou have rebuked the proud, who are cursed, who wander from thy commandments. ²² Take away from me reproach and contempt, for I have kept thy testimonies. ²³ Rulers also sat and talked against me, but thy servant meditated on thy statutes. ²⁴ Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors. ²⁵ My soul clings to the dust. Enliven thou me according to thy word. ²⁶ I declared my ways, and thou answered me. Teach me thy statutes. ²⁷ Make me to understand the way of thy precepts, so I shall meditate on thy wondrous works. ²⁸ My soul melts for heaviness. Strengthen thou me according to thy word. ²⁹ Remove from me the way of falsehood, and grant me thy law graciously. ³⁰ I have chosen the way of faithfulness. I have set thine ordinances. ³¹ I cling to thy testimonies. O LORD, put me not to shame. ³² I will run the way of thy commandments when thou shall enlarge my heart. ³³ Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes, and I shall keep it to the end. ³⁴ Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law, yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. ³⁵ Make me to go in the path of thy commandments, for therein do I delight. ³⁶ Incline my heart to thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. ³⁷ Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity, and enliven me in thy ways. ³⁸ Confirm to thy servant thy word, which is for the fear of thee. ³⁹ Turn away my reproach of which I am afraid, for thine ordinances are good. ⁴⁰ Behold, I have longed after thy precepts. Enliven me in thy righteousness. ⁴¹ Let thy loving kindnesses also come to me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word. ⁴² So I shall have an answer for him who reproaches me, for I trust in thy word. ⁴³ And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for I have hoped in thine ordinances. ⁴⁴ So shall I observe thy law continually forever and ever. ⁴⁵ And I shall walk at liberty, for I have sought thy precepts. ⁴⁶ I also will speak of thy testimonies before kings, and shall not be put to shame. ⁴⁷ And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. ⁴⁸ I will also lift up my hands to thy commandments, which I have loved, and I will meditate on thy statutes. ⁴⁹ Remember the word to thy servant, because thou have made me to hope. ⁵⁰ This is my comfort in my affliction, for thy word has revived me. ⁵¹ The proud have had me greatly in derision, yet I have not swerved from thy law. ⁵² I have remembered thine ordinances of old, O LORD, and have comforted myself. ⁵³ Hot indignation has taken hold upon me because of the wicked who forsake thy law. ⁵⁴ Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. ⁵⁵ I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have observed thy law. ⁵⁶ This I have had because I have kept thy precepts. ⁵⁷ LORD is my portion; I have said that I would observe thy words. ⁵⁸ I entreated thy favor with my whole heart. Be merciful to me according to thy word. ⁵⁹ I thought on my ways, and turned my feet to thy testimonies. ⁶⁰ I made haste, and delayed not, to observe thy commandments. ⁶¹ The cords of the wicked have wrapped me around, but I have not forgotten thy law. ⁶² At midnight I will rise to give thanks to thee because of thy righteous ordinances. ⁶³ I am a companion of all those who fear thee, and of those who observe thy precepts. ⁶⁴ The earth, O LORD, is full of thy loving kindness. Teach me thy statutes. ⁶⁵ Thou have dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according to thy word. ⁶⁶ Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I have believed in thy commandments. ⁶⁷ Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I observe thy word. ⁶⁸ Thou are good, and do good. Teach me thy statutes. ⁶⁹ The proud have forged a lie against me. With my whole heart I will keep thy precepts. ⁷⁰ Their heart is as fat as grease, but I delight in thy law. ⁷¹ It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn thy statutes. ⁷² The law of thy mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver. ⁷³ Thy hands have made me and fashioned me. Give me understanding that I may learn thy commandments. ⁷⁴ Those who fear thee shall see me and be glad, because I have hoped in thy word. ⁷⁵ I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are righteous, and that in faithfulness thou have afflicted me. ⁷⁶ Let, I pray thee, thy loving kindness be for my comfort according to thy word to thy servant. ⁷⁷ Let thy tender mercies come to me that I may live, for thy law is my delight. ⁷⁸ Let the proud be put to shame, for they have overthrown me wrongfully. I will meditate on thy precepts. ⁷⁹ Let those who fear thee turn to me, and they shall know thy testimonies. ⁸⁰ Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes that I be not put to shame. ⁸¹ My soul faints for thy salvation. I hope in thy word. ⁸² My eyes fail for thy word, while I say, When will thou comfort me? ⁸³ For I have become like a wine-skin in the smoke. Yet I do not forget thy statutes. ⁸⁴ How many are the days of thy servant? When will thou execute judgment on those who persecute me? ⁸⁵ The proud have dug pits for me, who are not according to thy law. ⁸⁶ All thy commandments are faithful. They persecute me wrongfully. Help thou me. ⁸⁷ They had almost consumed me upon earth, but I did not forsake thy precepts. ⁸⁸ Revive me according to thy loving kindness, so I shall observe the testimony of thy mouth. ⁸⁹ Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. ⁹⁰ Thy faithfulness is to all generations. Thou have established the earth, and it abides. ⁹¹ They abide this day according to thine ordinances, for all things are thy servants. ⁹² Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in my affliction. ⁹³ I will never forget thy precepts, for with them thou have enlivened me. ⁹⁴ I am thine. Save me, for I have sought thy precepts. ⁹⁵ The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me. I will consider thy testimonies. ⁹⁶ I have seen an end of all perfection. Thy commandment is exceedingly broad. ⁹⁷ O how I love thy law! It is my meditation all the day. ⁹⁸ Thy commandments make me wiser than my enemies, for they are ever with me. ⁹⁹ I have more understanding than all my teachers, for thy testimonies are my meditation. ¹⁰⁰ I understand more than the aged because I have kept thy precepts. ¹⁰¹ I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I might observe thy word. ¹⁰² I have not turned aside from thine ordinances, for thou have taught me. ¹⁰³ How sweet are thy words to my taste, than honey to my mouth! ¹⁰⁴ Through thy precepts I get understanding. Therefore I hate every false way. ¹⁰⁵ Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and light to my path. ¹⁰⁶ I have sworn, and have confirmed it, that I will observe thy righteous ordinances. ¹⁰⁷ I am afflicted very much. Revive me, O LORD, according to thy word. ¹⁰⁸ Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thine ordinances. ¹⁰⁹ My soul is continually in my hand, yet I do not forget thy law. ¹¹⁰ The wicked have laid a snare for me, yet I have not gone astray from thy precepts. ¹¹¹ I have taken thy testimonies as a heritage forever, for they are the rejoicing of my heart. ¹¹² I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes forever, even to the end. ¹¹³ I hate those who are of a double mind, but I love thy law. ¹¹⁴ Thou are my hiding place and my shield. I hope in thy word. ¹¹⁵ Depart from me, ye evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God. ¹¹⁶ Uphold me according to 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 shall have respect for thy statutes continually. ¹¹⁸ Thou have set at nothing all those who err from thy statutes, for their deceit is falsehood. ¹¹⁹ Thou put away all the wicked of the earth like dross. Therefore I love thy testimonies. ¹²⁰ My flesh trembles for fear of thee, and I am afraid of thy judgments. ¹²¹ I have done justice and righteousness. Leave me not to my oppressors. ¹²² Be surety for thy servant for good. Let not the proud oppress me. ¹²³ My eyes fail for thy salvation, and for thy righteous word. ¹²⁴ Deal with thy servant according to thy loving kindness, and teach me thy statutes. ¹²⁵ I am thy servant. Give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. ¹²⁶ It is time for LORD to work. They have made void thy law. ¹²⁷ Therefore I love thy commandments above gold, yea, above fine gold. ¹²⁸ Therefore I esteem all precepts concerning all things to be right. I hate every false way. ¹²⁹ Thy testimonies are wonderful, therefore my soul keeps them. ¹³⁰ The opening of thy words gives light. It gives understanding to the simple. ¹³¹ I opened wide my mouth, and panted, for I longed for thy commandments. ¹³² Turn thee to me, and have mercy upon me, as thou used to do to those who love thy name. ¹³³ Establish my footsteps in thy word, and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. ¹³⁴ Redeem me from the oppression of man, so I will observe thy precepts. ¹³⁵ Make thy face to shine upon thy servant, and teach me thy statutes. ¹³⁶ Streams of water run down my eyes, because they do not observe thy law. ¹³⁷ Thou are righteous, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments. ¹³⁸ Thou have commanded thy testimonies in righteousness and exceeding faithfulness. ¹³⁹ My zeal has consumed me, because my adversaries have forgotten thy words. ¹⁴⁰ Thy word is very pure, therefore thy servant loves it. ¹⁴¹ I am small and despised.
