Then on the second ^H8145 day ^H3117 the heads ^H7218 of fathers’ ^H1 households of all ^H3605 the people ^H5971, the priests ^H3548 and the Levites ^H3881 were gathered ^H622 to Ezra ^H5830 the scribe ^H5608 that they might gain ^H7919 insight ^H7919 into the words ^H1697 of the law ^H8451.

“Then You came ^H3381 down ^H3381 on Mount ^H2022 Sinai ^H5514,

And spoke ^H1696 with them from heaven ^H8064;

You gave ^H5414 them upright ^H3477 judgments ^H4941 and true ^H571 laws ^H8451,

Good ^H2896 statutes ^H2706 and commandments ^H4687.

“But they became ^H4784 disobedient ^H4784 and rebelled ^H4775 against You,

And cast ^H7993 Your law ^H8451 behind ^H310 their backs ^H1458

And killed ^H2026 Your prophets ^H5030 who ^H834 had testified ^H5749 to them

So that they might return ^H7725 to You,

And they [fn]committed ^H6213 great ^H1419 [fn]blasphemies ^H5007.

And testified ^H5749 to them in order to turn ^H7725 them back ^H7725 to Your law ^H8451.

Yet they acted ^H2102 presumptuously ^H2102 and did not listen ^H8085 to Your commandments ^H4687 but sinned ^H2398 against Your judgments ^H4941,

By which ^H834 if a man ^H120 does ^H6213 them, he shall live ^H2421.

And they gave ^H5414 a stubborn ^H5637 shoulder ^H3802 and stiffened ^H7185 their neck ^H6203, and would not listen ^H8085.

“Now our kings ^H4428, our princes ^H8269, our priests ^H3548, and our fathers ^H1 did not do ^H6213 Your law ^H8451

Or pay ^H7181 attention ^H7181 to Your commandments ^H4687 and Your testimonies ^H5715 with which ^H834 You testified ^H5749 against them.

Now the rest ^H7605 of the people ^H5971—the priests ^H3548, the Levites ^H3881, the gatekeepers ^H7778, the singers ^H7891, the temple ^H5411 servants ^H5411, and all ^H3605 those who had separated ^H914 themselves from the peoples ^H5971 of the lands ^H776 to the law ^H8451 of God ^H430, their wives ^H802, their sons ^H1121 and their daughters ^H1323—all ^H3605 those who had ^H3045 knowledge ^H3045 and understanding ^H995,

Likewise we cast ^H5307 lots ^H1486 for the supply ^H7133 of wood ^H6086 among the priests ^H3548, the Levites ^H3881, and the people ^H5971, in order to bring ^H935 it to the house ^H1004 of our God ^H430, according to our fathers’ ^H1 households ^H1004, at fixed ^H2163 times ^H6256 annually ^H8141, to burn ^H1197 on the altar ^H4196 of Yahweh ^H3068 our God ^H430, as it is written ^H3789 in the law ^H8451;

On that day ^H3117 men ^H376 were also appointed ^H6485 over ^H5921 the chambers ^H5393 for the stores ^H214, the contributions ^H8641, the first ^H7225 fruits ^H7225, and the tithes ^H4643, to gather ^H3664 into them from the fields ^H7704 of the cities ^H5892 the portions ^H4521 required by the law ^H8451 for the priests ^H3548 and Levites ^H3881; for Judah ^H3063 was glad ^H8057 over ^H5921 the priests ^H3548 and Levites ^H3881 who stood ^H5975 to minister.

“Please ^H4994 receive ^H3947 [fn]instruction ^H8451 from His mouth ^H6310

And set ^H7760 His words ^H561 in your heart ^H3824.

But his delight ^H2656 is in the law ^H8451 of [fn]Yahweh ^H3068,

And in His law ^H8451 he meditates ^H1897 day ^H3119 and night ^H3915.

The law ^H8451 of Yahweh ^H3068 is [fn]perfect ^H8549, restoring ^H7725 the soul ^H5315;

The testimony ^H5715 of Yahweh ^H3068 is sure ^H539, making ^H2449 wise ^H2449 the simple ^H6612.

The law ^H8451 of his God ^H430 is in his heart ^H3820;

His steps ^H838 do not slip ^H4571.

“I desire ^H2654 to do ^H6213 Your will ^H7522, O my God ^H430;

Your law ^H8451 is within ^H8432 my inner ^H4578 being ^H4578.”

A [fn]Maskil of Asaph.

Give ^H238 ear ^H238, O my people ^H5971, to my [fn]instruction ^H8451;

Incline ^H5186 your ears ^H241 to the words ^H561 of my mouth ^H6310.

For He established ^H6965 a testimony ^H5715 in Jacob ^H3290

And set ^H7760 a law ^H8451 in Israel ^H3478,

Which ^H834 He commanded ^H6680 our fathers ^H1

That they should [fn]teach ^H3045 them to their children ^H1121,

They did not keep ^H8104 the covenant ^H1285 of God ^H430

And refused ^H3985 to walk ^H1980 in His law ^H8451;

“If ^H518 his sons ^H1121 forsake ^H5800 My law ^H8451

And do not walk ^H1980 in My judgments ^H4941,

Blessed ^H835 is the man ^H1397 whom ^H834 You discipline ^H3256, O Yah ^H3050,

And whom You teach ^H3925 out of Your law ^H8451;

So ^H5668 that they might keep ^H8104 His statutes ^H2706

And observe ^H5341 His laws ^H8451,

[fn]Praise ^H1984 Yah ^H3050!

Aleph

How blessed ^H835 are those whose way ^H1870 is [fn]blameless ^H8549,

Who walk ^H1980 in the law ^H8451 of Yahweh ^H3068.

Open ^H1540 my eyes ^H5869, that I may behold ^H5027

Wonderful ^H6381 things ^H6381 from Your law ^H8451.

Remove ^H5493 the false ^H8267 way ^H1870 from me,

And graciously ^H2603 grant ^H2603 me Your law ^H8451.

Cause ^H995 me to understand ^H995, that I may observe ^H5341 Your law ^H8451

And keep ^H8104 it with all ^H3605 my heart ^H3820.

So I will keep ^H8104 Your law ^H8451 continually ^H8548,

Forever ^H5769 and ever ^H5703.

The arrogant ^H2086 utterly ^H5704 H3966 scoff ^H3887 at me,

Yet I do not turn ^H5186 aside ^H5186 from Your law ^H8451.

Burning ^H2152 indignation ^H2152 has seized ^H270 me because ^H4480 of the wicked ^H7563,

Who forsake ^H5800 Your law ^H8451.

I remember ^H2142 in the night ^H3915 Your name ^H8034, O Yahweh ^H3068,

So I keep ^H8104 Your law ^H8451.

The cords ^H2256 of the wicked ^H7563 have encircled ^H5749 me,

But I have not forgotten ^H7911 Your law ^H8451.

Their heart ^H3820 is [fn]covered ^H2954 with fat ^H2459,

But I delight ^H8173 in Your law ^H8451.

The law ^H8451 of Your mouth ^H6310 is better ^H2896 to me

Than ^H4480 thousands ^H505 of gold ^H2091 and silver ^H3701 pieces.

May Your compassion ^H7356 come ^H935 to me that I may live ^H2421,

For Your law ^H8451 is my delight ^H8191.

The arrogant ^H2086 have dug ^H3738 pits ^H7882 for me,

Men who ^H834 are not [fn]in accord with Your law ^H8451.

If ^H3884 Your law ^H8451 had not been my delight ^H8191,

Then ^H227 I would have perished ^H6 in my affliction ^H6040.

Mem

Oh how ^H4100 I love ^H157 Your law ^H8451!

It is my meditation ^H7881 all ^H3605 the day ^H3117.

My soul ^H5315 is continually ^H8548 [fn]in my hand ^H3709,

Yet I do not forget ^H7911 Your law ^H8451.

Samekh

I hate ^H8130 those who are double-minded ^H5588,

But I love ^H157 Your law ^H8451.

It is time ^H6256 for Yahweh ^H3068 to act ^H6213,

For they have broken ^H6565 Your law ^H8451.

My eyes ^H5869 [fn]shed ^H3381 streams ^H6388 of water ^H4325,

Because ^H5921 they do not keep ^H8104 Your law ^H8451.

Your righteousness ^H6666 is an everlasting ^H5769 righteousness ^H6664,

And Your law ^H8451 is truth ^H571.

[fn]Near ^H7126 are those who pursue ^H7291 wickedness ^H2154;

They are ^H7368 far ^H7368 from Your law ^H8451.
