Psalms
118-120
Psa
118:1 Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness
endures forever.
Psa
118:2 Let Israel now say that his loving kindness endures forever.
Psa
118:3 Let the house of Aaron now say that his loving kindness
endures forever.
Psa
118:4 Now let those who fear Yahweh say that his loving kindness
endures forever.
Psa
118:5 Out of my distress, I called on Yah. Yah answered me with
freedom.
Psa
118:6 Yahweh is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to
me?
Psa
118:7 Yahweh is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I will
look in triumph at those who hate me.
Psa
118:8 It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence
in man.
Psa
118:9 It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence
in princes.
Psa
118:10 All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of Yahweh, I
cut them off.
Psa
118:11 They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In the name of
Yahweh I indeed cut them off.
Psa
118:12 They surrounded me like bees. They are quenched like the
burning thorns. In the name of Yahweh I cut them off.
Psa
118:13 You pushed me back hard, to make me fall, but Yahweh helped
me.
Psa
118:14 Yah is my strength and song. He has become my salvation.
Psa
118:15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the
righteous. "The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly.
Psa
118:16 The right hand of Yahweh is exalted! The right hand of Yahweh
does valiantly!"
Psa
118:17 I will not die, but live, and declare Yah's works.
Psa
118:18 Yah has punished me severely, but he has not given me over to
death.
Psa
118:19 Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into
them. I will give thanks to Yah.
Psa
118:20 This is the gate of Yahweh; the righteous will enter into it.
Psa
118:21 I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me, and have
become my salvation.
Psa
118:22 The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of
the corner.
Psa
118:23 This is Yahweh's doing. It is marvelous in our eyes.
Psa
118:24 This is the day that Yahweh has made. We will rejoice and be
glad in it!
Psa
118:25 Save us now, we beg you, Yahweh! Yahweh, we beg you, send
prosperity now.
Psa
118:26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yahweh! We have
blessed you out of the house of Yahweh.
Psa
118:27 Yahweh is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice
with cords, even to the horns of the altar.
Psa
118:28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you. You are my
God, I will exalt you.
Psa
118:29 Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving
kindness endures forever.
Psa
119:1 Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according
to Yahweh's law.
Psa
119:2 Blessed are those who keep his statutes, who seek him with
their whole heart.
Psa
119:3 Yes, they do nothing wrong. They walk in his ways.
Psa
119:4 You have commanded your precepts, that we should fully obey
them.
Psa
119:5 Oh that my ways were steadfast to obey your statutes!
Psa
119:6 Then I wouldn't be disappointed, when I consider all of your
commandments.
Psa
119:7 I will give thanks to you with uprightness of heart, when I
learn your righteous judgments.
Psa
119:8 I will observe your statutes. Don't utterly forsake me.
Psa
119:9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to
your word.
Psa
119:10 With my whole heart, I have sought you. Don't let me wander
from your commandments.
Psa
119:11 I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin
against you.
Psa
119:12 Blessed are you, Yahweh. Teach me your statutes.
Psa
119:13 With my lips, I have declared all the ordinances of your
mouth.
Psa
119:14 I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies, as much as in
all riches.
Psa
119:15 I will meditate on your precepts, and consider your ways.
Psa
119:16 I will delight myself in your statutes. I will not forget
your word.
Psa
119:17 Do good to your servant. I will live and I will obey your
word.
Psa
119:18 Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things out of your law.
Psa
119:19 I am a stranger on the earth. Don't hide your commandments
from me.
Psa
119:20 My soul is consumed with longing for your ordinances at all
times.
Psa
119:21 You have rebuked the proud who are cursed, who wander from
your commandments.
Psa
119:22 Take reproach and contempt away from me, for I have kept your
statutes.
Psa
119:23 Though princes sit and slander me, your servant will meditate
on your statutes.
Psa
119:24 Indeed your statutes are my delight, and my counselors.
Psa
119:25 My soul is laid low in the dust. Revive me according to your
word!
Psa
119:26 I declared my ways, and you answered me. Teach me your
statutes.
Psa
119:27 Let me understand the teaching of your precepts! Then I will
meditate on your wondrous works.
Psa
119:28 My soul is weary with sorrow: strengthen me according to your
word.
Psa
119:29 Keep me from the way of deceit. Grant me your law graciously!
Psa
119:30 I have chosen the way of truth. I have set your ordinances
before me.
Psa
119:31 I cling to your statutes, Yahweh. Don't let me be
disappointed.
Psa
119:32 I run in the path of your commandments, for you have set my
heart free.
Psa
119:33 Teach me, Yahweh, the way of your statutes. I will keep them
to the end.
Psa
119:34 Give me understanding, and I will keep your law. Yes, I will
obey it with my whole heart.
Psa
119:35 Direct me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in
them.
Psa
119:36 Turn my heart toward your statutes, not toward selfish gain.
Psa
119:37 Turn my eyes away from looking at worthless things. Revive me
in your ways.
Psa
119:38 Fulfill your promise to your servant, that you may be feared.
Psa
119:39 Take away my disgrace that I dread, for your ordinances are
good.
Psa
119:40 Behold, I long for your precepts! Revive me in your
righteousness.
Psa
119:41 Let your loving kindness also come to me, Yahweh, your
salvation, according to your word.
Psa
119:42 So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me, for I
trust in your word.
Psa
119:43 Don't snatch the word of truth out of my mouth, for I put my
hope in your ordinances.
Psa
119:44 So I will obey your law continually, forever and ever.
Psa
119:45 I will walk in liberty, for I have sought your precepts.
Psa
119:46 I will also speak of your statutes before kings, and will not
be disappointed.
Psa
119:47 I will delight myself in your commandments, because I love
them.
Psa
119:48 I reach out my hands for your commandments, which I love. I
will meditate on your statutes.
Psa
119:49 Remember your word to your servant, because you gave me hope.
Psa
119:50 This is my comfort in my affliction, for your word has
revived me.
Psa
119:51 The arrogant mock me excessively, but I don't swerve from
your law.
Psa
119:52 I remember your ordinances of old, Yahweh, and have comforted
myself.
Psa
119:53 Indignation has taken hold on me, because of the wicked who
forsake your law.
Psa
119:54 Your statutes have been my songs, in the house where I live.
Psa
119:55 I have remembered your name, Yahweh, in the night, and I obey
your law.
Psa
119:56 This is my way, that I keep your precepts.
Psa
119:57 Yahweh is my portion. I promised to obey your words.
Psa
119:58 I sought your favor with my whole heart. Be merciful to me
according to your word.
Psa
119:59 I considered my ways, and turned my steps to your statutes.
Psa
119:60 I will hurry, and not delay, to obey your commandments.
Psa
119:61 The ropes of the wicked bind me, but I won't forget your law.
Psa
119:62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks to you, because of
your righteous ordinances.
Psa
119:63 I am a friend of all those who fear you, of those who observe
your precepts.
Psa
119:64 The earth is full of your loving kindness, Yahweh. Teach me
your statutes.
Psa
119:65 Do good to your servant, according to your word, Yahweh.
Psa
119:66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your
commandments.
Psa
119:67 Before I was afflicted, I went astray; but now I observe your
word.
Psa
119:68 You are good, and do good. Teach me your statutes.
Psa
119:69 The proud have smeared a lie upon me. With my whole heart, I
will keep your precepts.
Psa
119:70 Their heart is as callous as the fat, but I delight in your
law.
Psa
119:71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may
learn your statutes.
Psa
119:72 The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of
pieces of gold and silver.
Psa
119:73 Your hands have made me and formed me. Give me understanding,
that I may learn your commandments.
Psa
119:74 Those who fear you will see me and be glad, because I have
put my hope in your word.
Psa
119:75 Yahweh, I know that your judgments are righteous, that in
faithfulness you have afflicted me.
Psa
119:76 Please let your loving kindness be for my comfort, according
to your word to your servant.
Psa
119:77 Let your tender mercies come to me, that I may live; for your
law is my delight.
Psa
119:78 Let the proud be disappointed, for they have overthrown me
wrongfully. I will meditate on your precepts.
Psa
119:79 Let those who fear you turn to me. They will know your
statutes.
Psa
119:80 Let my heart be blameless toward your decrees, that I may not
be disappointed.
Psa
119:81 My soul faints for your salvation. I hope in your word.
Psa
119:82 My eyes fail for your word. I say, "When will you
comfort me?"
Psa
119:83 For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke. I don't
forget your statutes.
Psa
119:84 How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute
judgment on those who persecute me?
Psa
119:85 The proud have dug pits for me, contrary to your law.
Psa
119:86 All of your commandments are faithful. They persecute me
wrongfully. Help me!
Psa
119:87 They had almost wiped me from the earth, but I didn't forsake
your precepts.
Psa
119:88 Preserve my life according to your loving kindness, so I will
obey the statutes of your mouth.
Psa
119:89 Yahweh, your word is settled in heaven forever.
Psa
119:90 Your faithfulness is to all generations. You have established
the earth, and it remains.
Psa
119:91 Your laws remain to this day, for all things serve you.
Psa
119:92 Unless your law had been my delight, I would have perished in
my affliction.
Psa
119:93 I will never forget your precepts, for with them, you have
revived me.
Psa
119:94 I am yours. Save me, for I have sought your precepts.
Psa
119:95 The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me. I will consider
your statutes.
Psa
119:96 I have seen a limit to all perfection, but your commands are
boundless.
Psa
119:97 How I love your law! It is my meditation all day.
Psa
119:98 Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies, for your
commandments are always with me.
Psa
119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your
testimonies are my meditation.
Psa
119:100 I understand more than the aged, because I have kept your
precepts.
Psa
119:101 I have kept my feet from every evil way, that I might
observe your word.
Psa
119:102 I have not turned aside from your ordinances, for you have
taught me.
Psa
119:103 How sweet are your promises to my taste, more than honey to
my mouth!
Psa
119:104 Through your precepts, I get understanding; therefore I hate
every false way.
Psa
119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path.
Psa
119:106 I have sworn, and have confirmed it, that I will obey your
righteous ordinances.
Psa
119:107 I am afflicted very much. Revive me, Yahweh, according to
your word.
Psa
119:108 Accept, I beg you, the willing offerings of my mouth.
Yahweh, teach me your ordinances.
Psa
119:109 My soul is continually in my hand, yet I won't forget your
law.
Psa
119:110 The wicked have laid a snare for me, yet I haven't gone
astray from your precepts.
Psa
119:111 I have taken your testimonies as a heritage forever, for
they are the joy of my heart.
Psa
119:112 I have set my heart to perform your statutes forever, even
to the end.
Psa
119:113 I hate double-minded men, but I love your law.
Psa
119:114 You are my hiding place and my shield. I hope in your word.
Psa
119:115 Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the
commandments of my God.
Psa
119:116 Uphold me according to your word, that I may live. Let me
not be ashamed of my hope.
Psa
119:117 Hold me up, and I will be safe, and will have respect for
your statutes continually.
Psa
119:118 You reject all those who stray from your statutes, for their
deceit is in vain.
Psa
119:119 You put away all the wicked of the earth like dross.
Therefore I love your testimonies.
Psa
119:120 My flesh trembles for fear of you. I am afraid of your
judgments.
Psa
119:121 I have done what is just and righteous. Don't leave me to my
oppressors.
Psa
119:122 Ensure your servant's well-being. Don't let the proud
oppress me.
Psa
119:123 My eyes fail looking for your salvation, for your righteous
word.
Psa
119:124 Deal with your servant according to your loving kindness.
Teach me your statutes.
Psa
119:125 I am your servant. Give me understanding, that I may know
your testimonies.
Psa
119:126 It is time to act, Yahweh, for they break your law.
Psa
119:127 Therefore I love your commandments more than gold, yes, more
than pure gold.
Psa
119:128 Therefore I consider all of your precepts to be right. I
hate every false way.
Psa
119:129 Your testimonies are wonderful, therefore my soul keeps
them.
Psa
119:130 The entrance of your words gives light. It gives
understanding to the simple.
Psa
119:131 I opened my mouth wide and panted, for I longed for your
commandments.
Psa
119:132 Turn to me, and have mercy on me, as you always do to those
who love your name.
Psa
119:133 Establish my footsteps in your word. Don't let any iniquity
have dominion over me.
Psa
119:134 Redeem me from the oppression of man, so I will observe your
precepts.
Psa
119:135 Make your face shine on your servant. Teach me your
statutes.
Psa
119:136 Streams of tears run down my eyes, because they don't
observe your law.
Psa
119:137 You are righteous, Yahweh. Your judgments are upright.
Psa
119:138 You have commanded your statutes in righteousness. They are
fully trustworthy.
Psa
119:139 My zeal wears me out, because my enemies ignore your words.
Psa
119:140 Your promises have been thoroughly tested, and your servant
loves them.
Psa
119:141 I am small and despised. I don't forget your precepts.
Psa
119:142 Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness. Your law
is truth.
Psa
119:143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold of me. Your commandments
are my delight.
Psa
119:144 Your testimonies are righteous forever. Give me
understanding, that I may live.
Psa
119:145 I have called with my whole heart. Answer me, Yahweh! I will
keep your statutes.
Psa
119:146 I have called to you. Save me! I will obey your statutes.
Psa
119:147 I rise before dawn and cry for help. I put my hope in your
words.
Psa
119:148 My eyes stay open through the night watches, that I might
meditate on your word.
Psa
119:149 Hear my voice according to your loving kindness. Revive me,
Yahweh, according to your ordinances.
Psa
119:150 They draw near who follow after wickedness. They are far
from your law.
Psa
119:151 You are near, Yahweh. All your commandments are truth.
Psa
119:152 Of old I have known from your testimonies, that you have
founded them forever.
Psa
119:153 Consider my affliction, and deliver me, for I don't forget
your law.
Psa
119:154 Plead my cause, and redeem me! Revive me according to your
promise.
Psa
119:155 Salvation is far from the wicked, for they don't seek your
statutes.
Psa
119:156 Great are your tender mercies, Yahweh. Revive me according
to your ordinances.
Psa
119:157 Many are my persecutors and my adversaries. I haven't
swerved from your testimonies.
Psa
119:158 I look at the faithless with loathing, because they don't
observe your word.
Psa
119:159 Consider how I love your precepts. Revive me, Yahweh,
according to your loving kindness.
Psa
119:160 All of your words are truth. Every one of your righteous
ordinances endures forever.
Psa
119:161 Princes have persecuted me without a cause, but my heart
stands in awe of your words.
Psa
119:162 I rejoice at your word, as one who finds great spoil.
Psa
119:163 I hate and abhor falsehood. I love your law.
Psa
119:164 Seven times a day, I praise you, because of your righteous
ordinances.
Psa
119:165 Those who love your law have great peace. Nothing causes
them to stumble.
Psa
119:166 I have hoped for your salvation, Yahweh. I have done your
commandments.
Psa
119:167 My soul has observed your testimonies. I love them
exceedingly.
Psa
119:168 I have obeyed your precepts and your testimonies, for all my
ways are before you.
Psa
119:169 Let my cry come before you, Yahweh. Give me understanding
according to your word.
Psa
119:170 Let my supplication come before you. Deliver me according to
your word.
Psa
119:171 Let my lips utter praise, for you teach me your statutes.
Psa
119:172 Let my tongue sing of your word, for all your commandments
are righteousness.
Psa
119:173 Let your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen your
precepts.
Psa
119:174 I have longed for your salvation, Yahweh. Your law is my
delight.
Psa
119:175 Let my soul live, that I may praise you. Let your ordinances
help me.
Psa
119:176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for
I don't forget your commandments.
Psa
120:1 In my distress, I cried to Yahweh. He answered me.
Psa
120:2 Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips, from a deceitful
tongue.
Psa
120:3 What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you,
you deceitful tongue?
Psa
120:4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
Psa
120:5 Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the
tents of Kedar!
Psa
120:6 My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates
peace.
Psa
120:7 I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
