Psa 119:53

Psa 119:53I am burning with wrath, because of the sinners who have given up your law.

Psa 119:54

Psa 119:54Your rules have been melodies to me, while I have been living in strange lands.

Psa 119:55

Psa 119:55I have given thought to your name in the night, O Lord, and have kept your law.

Psa 119:56

Psa 119:56This has been true of me, that I have kept your orders in my heart.

Psa 119:75

Psa 119:75I have seen, O Lord, that your decisions are right, and that in unchanging faith you have sent trouble on me.

Psa 119:76

Psa 119:76Let your mercy now be my comfort, as you have said to your servant.

Psa 119:77

Psa 119:77Let your gentle mercies come to me, so that I may have life; for your law is my delight.

Psa 119:78

Psa 119:78Let the men of pride be shamed; because they have falsely given decision against me; but I will give thought to your orders.

Psa 119:81

Psa 119:81<CAPH> My soul is wasted with desire for your salvation: but I have hope in your word.

Psa 119:82

Psa 119:82My eyes are full of weariness with searching for your word, saying, When will you give me comfort?

Psa 119:83

Psa 119:83For I have become like a wine-skin black with smoke; but I still keep the memory of your rules.

Psa 119:84

Psa 119:84How short is the life of your servant! when will you give your decision against those who are attacking me?

Psa 119:85

Psa 119:85The men of pride, who are turned away from your law, have put nets for me.

Psa 119:86

Psa 119:86All your teachings are certain; they go after me with evil design; give me your help.

Psa 119:87

Psa 119:87They had almost put an end to me on earth; but I did not give up your orders.

Psa 119:88Give me life in your mercy; so that I may be ruled by the unchanging word of your mouth.

Psa 119:89

Psa 119:89<LAMED> For ever, O Lord, your word is fixed in heaven.

Psa 119:90

Psa 119:90Your faith is unchanging from generation to generation: you have put the earth in its place, and it is not moved.

Psa 119:91

Psa 119:91They are ruled this day by your decisions; for all things are your servants.

Psa 119:92

Psa 119:92If your law had not been my delight, my troubles would have put an end to me.

Psa 119:103

Psa 119:103How sweet are your sayings to my taste! truly, they are sweeter than honey in my mouth!

Psa 119:104

Psa 119:104Through your orders I get wisdom; for this reason I am a hater of every false way.

Psa 119:105

Psa 119:105<NUN> Your word is a light for my feet, ever shining on my way.

Psa 119:106

Psa 119:106I have made an oath and kept it, to be guided by your upright decisions.

Psa 119:107

Psa 119:107I am greatly troubled, O Lord, give me life in keeping with your word.

Psa 119:108

Psa 119:108Take, O Lord, the free offerings of my mouth, and give me knowledge of your decisions.

Psa 119:109

Psa 119:109My soul is ever in danger; but I still keep the memory of your law.

Psa 119:110

Psa 119:110Sinners have put a net to take me; but I was true to your orders.

Psa 119:111

Psa 119:111I have taken your unchanging word as an eternal heritage; for it is the joy of my heart.

Psa 119:112

Psa 119:112My heart is ever ready to keep your rules, even to the end.

Psa 119:113

Psa 119:113<SAMECH> I am a hater of men of doubting mind; but I am a lover of your law.

Psa 119:114

Psa 119:114You are my secret place and my breastplate against danger; my hope is in your word.

Psa 119:115

Psa 119:115Go far from me, you evil-doers; so that I may keep the teachings of my God.

Psa 119:116

Psa 119:116Be my support as you have said, and give me life; let not my hope be turned to shame.

Psa 119:117

Psa 119:117Let me not be moved, and I will be safe, and ever take delight in your rules.

Psa 119:118

Psa 119:118You have overcome all those who are wandering from your rules; for all their thoughts are false.

Psa 119:119

Psa 119:119All the sinners of the earth are like waste metal in your eyes; and for this cause I give my love to your unchanging word.

Psa 119:120

Psa 119:120My flesh is moved for fear of you; I give honour to your decisions.

Psa 119:121

Psa 119:121<AIN> I have done what is good and right: you will not give me into the hands of those who are working against me.

Psa 119:122

Psa 119:122Take your servant's interests into your keeping; let me not be crushed by the men of pride.

Psa 119:123

Psa 119:123My eyes are wasted with desire for your salvation, and for the word of your righteousness.

Psa 119:124

Psa 119:124Be good to your servant in your mercy, and give me teaching in your rules.

Psa 119:125

Psa 119:125I am your servant; give me wisdom, so that I may have knowledge of your unchanging word.

Psa 119:126

Psa 119:126It is time, O Lord, for you to let your work be seen; for they have made your law without effect.

Psa 119:127

Psa 119:127For this reason I have greater love far your teachings than for gold, even for shining gold.

Psa 119:128

Psa 119:128Because of it I keep straight in all things by your orders; and I am a hater of every false way.

Psa 119:129

Psa 119:129<PE> Your unchanging word is full of wonder; for this reason my soul keeps it.

Psa 119:130

Psa 119:130The opening of your words gives light; it gives good sense to the simple.

Psa 119:131

Psa 119:131My mouth was open wide, waiting with great desire for your teachings.

Psa 119:132

Psa 119:132Let your eyes be turned to me, and have mercy on me, as it is right for you to do to those who are lovers of your name.

Psa 119:133

Psa 119:133Let my steps be guided by your word; and let not sin have control over me.

Psa 119:134

Psa 119:134Make me free from the cruel rule of man; then I will keep your orders.

Psa 119:135

Psa 119:135Let your servant see the shining of your face; give me knowledge of your rules.

Psa 119:136

Psa 119:136Rivers of water are flowing from my eyes, because men do not keep your law.

Psa 119:137

Psa 119:137<TZADE> O Lord, great is your righteousness, and upright are your decisions.

Psa 119:138

Psa 119:138You have given your unchanging word in righteousness, and it is for ever.

Psa 119:139

Psa 119:139My passion has overcome me; because my haters are turned away from your words.

Psa 119:140

Psa 119:140Your word is of tested value; and it is dear to your servant.

Psa 119:141

Psa 119:141I am small and of no account; but I keep your orders in mind.

Psa 119:142

Psa 119:142Your righteousness is an unchanging righteousness, and your law is certain.

Psa 119:143

Psa 119:143Pain and trouble have overcome me: but your teachings are my delight.

Psa 119:144

Psa 119:144The righteousness of your unchanging word is eternal; give me wisdom so that I may have life.

Psa 119:145

Psa 119:145<KOPH> I have made my prayer with all my heart; give answer to me, O Lord: I will keep your rules.

Psa 119:146

Psa 119:146My cry has gone up to you; take me out of trouble, and I will be guided by your unchanging word.

Psa 119:147

Psa 119:147Before the sun is up, my cry for help comes to your ear; my hope is in your words.

Psa 119:148

Psa 119:148In the night watches I am awake, so that I may give thought to your saying.

Psa 119:149

Psa 119:149Let my voice come to you, in your mercy; O Lord, by your decisions give me life.

Psa 119:150

Psa 119:150Those who have evil designs against me come near; they are far from your law.

Psa 119:151

Psa 119:151You are near, O Lord; and all your teachings are true.

Psa 119:152

Psa 119:152I have long had knowledge that your unchanging word is for ever.

Psa 119:153

Psa 119:153<RESH> O see my trouble, and be my saviour; for I keep your law in my mind,

Psa 119:154

Psa 119:154Undertake my cause, and come to my help, give me life, as you have said.

Psa 119:155

Psa 119:155Salvation is far from evil-doers; for they have made no search for your rules.

Psa 119:156

Psa 119:156Great is the number of your mercies, O Lord; give me life in keeping with your decisions.

Psa 119:157

Psa 119:157Great is the number of those who are against me; but I have not been turned away from your unchanging word.

Psa 119:158

Psa 119:158I saw with hate those who were untrue to you; for they did not keep your saying.

Psa 119:159

Psa 119:159See how great is my love for your orders: give me life, O Lord, in keeping with your mercy.

Psa 119:160

Psa 119:160Your word is true from the first; and your upright decision is unchanging for ever.

Psa 119:161

Psa 119:161<SHIN> Rulers have been cruel to me without cause; but I have the fear of your word in my heart.

Psa 119:162

Psa 119:162I am delighted by your saying, like a man who makes discovery of great wealth.

Psa 119:163

Psa 119:163I am full of hate and disgust for false words; but I am a lover of your law.

Psa 119:164

Psa 119:164Seven times a day do I give you praise, because of your upright decisions.

Psa 119:165

Psa 119:165Great peace have lovers of your law; they have no cause for falling.

Psa 119:166

Psa 119:166Lord, my hope has been in your salvation; and I have kept your teachings.

Psa 119:167

Psa 119:167My soul has kept your unchanging word; great is my love for it.

Psa 119:168

Psa 119:168I have been ruled by your orders; for all my ways are before you.

Psa 119:169

Psa 119:169<TAU> Let my cry come before you, O Lord; give me wisdom in keeping with your word.

Psa 119:170

Psa 119:170Let my prayer come before you; take me out of trouble, as you have said.

Psa 119:171

Psa 119:171Let my lips be flowing with praise, because you have given me knowledge of your rules.

Psa 119:172

Psa 119:172Let my tongue make songs in praise of your word; for all your teachings are righteousness.

Psa 119:173

Psa 119:173Let your hand be near for my help; for I have given my heart to your orders.

Psa 119:174

Psa 119:174All my desire has been for your salvation, O Lord; and your law is my delight.

Psa 119:175

Psa 119:175Give life to my soul so that it may give you praise; and let your decisions be my support.

Psa 119:176

Psa 119:176I have gone out of the way like a wandering sheep; make search for your servant; for I keep your teachings ever in mind.
