Psa 119:53

Psa 119:53(LXX 118:53) Despair took hold upon me, because of the sinners who forsake thy law.

Psa 119:54

Psa 119:54(LXX 118:54) Thine ordinances were my songs in the place of my sojourning.

Psa 119:55

Psa 119:55(LXX 118:55) I remembered thy name, O Lord, in the night, and kept thy law.

Psa 119:56

Psa 119:56(LXX 118:56) This I had, because I diligently sought thine ordinances.

Psa 119:57

Psa 119:60

Psa 119:60(LXX 118:60) I prepared myself, (and was not terrified,) to keep thy commandments.

Psa 119:61

Psa 119:61(LXX 118:61) The snares of sinners entangled me: but I forgot not thy law.

Psa 119:62

Psa 119:62(LXX 118:62) At midnight I arose, to give thanks to thee for the judgments of thy righteousness.

Psa 119:63

Psa 119:63(LXX 118:63) I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy commandments.

Psa 119:64

Psa 119:64(LXX 118:64) O Lord, the earth is full of thy mercy: teach me thine ordinances.

Psa 119:65

Psa 119:65(LXX 118:65) Thou hast wrought kindly with thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word.

Psa 119:66

Psa 119:66(LXX 118:66) Teach me kindness, and instruction, and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.

Psa 119:67

Psa 119:67(LXX 118:67) Before I was afflicted, I transgressed; therefore have I kept thy word.

Psa 119:68

Psa 119:68(LXX 118:68) Good art thou, O Lord; therefore in thy goodness teach me thine ordinances.

Psa 119:69

Psa 119:69(LXX 118:69) The injustice of the proud has been multiplied against me: but I will search out thy commandments with all my heart.

Psa 119:70

Psa 119:70(LXX 118:70) Their heart has been curdled like milk; but I have meditated on thy law.

Psa 119:71

Psa 119:71(LXX 118:71) It is good for me that thou hast afflicted me; that I might learn thine ordinances.

Psa 119:72

Psa 119:72(LXX 118:72) The law of thy mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver.

Psa 119:73

Psa 119:73(LXX 118:73) Thy hands have made me, and fashioned me: instruct me, that I may learn thy commandments.

Psa 119:74

Psa 119:74(LXX 118:74) They that fear thee will see me and rejoice: for I have hoped in thy words.

Psa 119:75

Psa 119:75(LXX 118:75) I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are righteousness, and that thou in truthfulness hast afflicted me.

Psa 119:76

Psa 119:76(LXX 118:76) Let, I pray thee, thy mercy be to comfort me, according to thy word to thy servant.

Psa 119:77

Psa 119:77(LXX 118:77) Let thy compassions come to me, that I may live: for thy law is my meditation.

Psa 119:78

Psa 119:78(LXX 118:78) Let the proud be ashamed; for they transgressed against me unjustly: but I will meditate in thy commandments.

Psa 119:79

Psa 119:79(LXX 118:79) Let those that fear thee, and those that know thy testimonies, turn to me.

Psa 119:80

Psa 119:80(LXX 118:80) Let mine heart be blameless in thine ordinances, that I may not be ashamed.

Psa 119:81

Psa 119:81(LXX 118:81) My soul faints for thy salvation: I have hoped in thy words.

Psa 119:82

Psa 119:82(LXX 118:82) Mine eyes failed in waiting for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?

Psa 119:83

Psa 119:83(LXX 118:83) For I am become as a bottle in the frost: yet I have not forgotten thine ordinances.

Psa 119:84

Psa 119:84(LXX 118:84) How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment for me on them that persecute me?

Psa 119:85

Psa 119:85(LXX 118:85) Transgressors told me idle tales; but not according to thy law, O Lord.

Psa 119:86

Psa 119:86(LXX 118:86) All thy commandments are truth; they persecuted me unjustly; help thou me.

Psa 119:87

Psa 119:87(LXX 118:87) They nearly made an end of me in the earth; but I forsook not thy commandments.

Psa 119:88

Psa 119:88(LXX 118:88) Quicken me according to thy mercy; so shall I keep the testimonies of thy mouth.

Psa 119:89

Psa 119:89(LXX 118:89) Thy word, O Lord, abides in heaven for ever.

Psa 119:90

Psa 119:90(LXX 118:90) Thy truth endures to all generations; thou hast founded the earth, and it abides.

Psa 119:91

Psa 119:91(LXX 118:91) The day continues by thy arrangement; for all things are thy servants.

Psa 119:92

Psa 119:92(LXX 118:92) Were it not that thy law is my meditation, then I should have perished in mine affliction.

Psa 119:93

Psa 119:93(LXX 118:93) I will never forget thine ordinances; for with them thou hast quickened me.

Psa 119:94

Psa 119:94(LXX 118:94) I am thine, save me; for I have sought out thine ordinances.

Psa 119:95

Psa 119:95(LXX 118:95) Sinners laid wait for me to destroy me; but I understood thy testimonies.

Psa 119:96

Psa 119:96(LXX 118:96) I have seen an end of all perfection; but thy commandment is very broad.

Psa 119:97

Psa 119:97(LXX 118:97) How I have loved thy law, O Lord! it is my meditation all the day.

Psa 119:98

Psa 119:98(LXX 118:98) Thou hast made me wiser than mine enemies in thy commandment; for it is mine for ever.

Psa 119:99

Psa 119:99(LXX 118:99) I have more understanding than all my teachers; for thy testimonies are my meditation.

Psa 119:100

Psa 119:100(LXX 118:100) I understand more than the aged; because I have sought out thy commandments.

Psa 119:101

Psa 119:101(LXX 118:101) I have kept back my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy words.

Psa 119:102

Psa 119:102(LXX 118:102) I have not declined from thy judgments; for thou hast [fn]instructed me.

Psa 119:103

Psa 119:103(LXX 118:103) How sweet are thine oracles to my throat! more so than honey to my mouth!

Psa 119:104

Psa 119:104(LXX 118:104) I gain understanding by thy commandments: therefore I have hated every way of unrighteousness.

Psa 119:105

Psa 119:105(LXX 118:105) Thy law is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths.

Psa 119:106

Psa 119:106(LXX 118:106) I have sworn and determined to keep the judgments of thy righteousness.

Psa 119:107

Psa 119:107(LXX 118:107) I have been very greatly afflicted, O Lord: quicken me, according to thy word.

Psa 119:108

Psa 119:108(LXX 118:108) Accept, I pray thee, O Lord, the freewill-offerings of my mouth, and teach me thy judgments.

Psa 119:109

Psa 119:109(LXX 118:109) My soul is continually in [fn]thine hands; and I have not forgotten thy law.

Psa 119:110

Psa 119:110(LXX 118:110) Sinners spread a snare for me; but I erred not from thy commandments.

Psa 119:111

Psa 119:111(LXX 118:111) I have inherited thy testimonies for ever; for they are the joy of my heart.

Psa 119:112

Psa 119:112(LXX 118:112) I have inclined my heart to perform thine ordinances for ever, [fn]in return for thy mercies.

Psa 119:113

Psa 119:113(LXX 118:113) I have hated transgressors; but I have loved thy law.

Psa 119:114

Psa 119:114(LXX 118:114) Thou art my helper and my supporter; I have hoped in thy words.

Psa 119:115

Psa 119:115(LXX 118:115) Depart from me, ye evil-doers; for I will search out the commandments of my God.

Psa 119:116

Psa 119:116(LXX 118:116) Uphold me according to thy word, and quicken me; and make me not ashamed of my expectation.

Psa 119:117

Psa 119:117(LXX 118:117) Help me, and I shall be saved; and I will meditate in thine ordinances continually.

Psa 119:118

Psa 119:118(LXX 118:118) Thou hast brought to nought all that depart from thine ordinances; for their inward thought is unrighteous.

Psa 119:119

Psa 119:119(LXX 118:119) I have reckoned all the sinners of the earth as transgressors; therefore have I loved thy testimonies.

Psa 119:120

Psa 119:120(LXX 118:120) Penetrate my flesh with thy fear; for I am afraid of thy judgments.

Psa 119:121

Psa 119:121(LXX 118:121) I have done judgment and justice; deliver me not up to them that injure me.

Psa 119:122

Psa 119:122(LXX 118:122) Receive thy servant for good: let not the proud accuse me falsely.

Psa 119:123

Psa 119:123(LXX 118:123) Mine eyes have failed for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.

Psa 119:124

Psa 119:124(LXX 118:124) Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy, and teach me thine ordinances.

Psa 119:125

Psa 119:125(LXX 118:125) I am thy servant; instruct me, and I shall know thy testimonies.

Psa 119:126

Psa 119:126(LXX 118:126) It is time for the Lord to work: they have utterly broken thy law.

Psa 119:127

Psa 119:127(LXX 118:127) Therefore have I loved thy commandments more than gold, or the topaz.

Psa 119:128

Psa 119:128(LXX 118:128) Therefore I directed myself according to all thy commandments: I have hated every unjust way.

Psa 119:129

Psa 119:129(LXX 118:129) Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore my soul has sought them out.

Psa 119:130

Psa 119:130(LXX 118:130) The manifestation of thy words will enlighten, and instruct the simple.

Psa 119:131

Psa 119:131(LXX 118:131) I opened my mouth, and drew breath: for I earnestly longed after thy commandments.

Psa 119:132

Psa 119:132(LXX 118:132) Look upon me and have mercy upon me, after the manner of them that love thy name.

Psa 119:133

Psa 119:133(LXX 118:133) Order my steps according to thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

Psa 119:134

Psa 119:134(LXX 118:134) Deliver me from the false accusation of men: so will I keep thy commandments.

Psa 119:135

Psa 119:135(LXX 118:135) Cause thy face to shine upon thy servant: and teach me thine ordinances.

Psa 119:136

Psa 119:136(LXX 118:136) Mine eyes have been bathed in streams of water, because I kept not thy law.

Psa 119:137

Psa 119:137(LXX 118:137) Righteous art thou, O Lord, and upright are thy judgments.

Psa 119:138

Psa 119:138(LXX 118:138) Thou hast commanded righteousness and perfect truth, as thy testimonies.

Psa 119:139

Psa 119:139(LXX 118:139) Thy zeal has quite wasted me: because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.

Psa 119:140

Psa 119:140(LXX 118:140) Thy word has been very fully tried; and thy servant loves it.

Psa 119:141

Psa 119:141(LXX 118:141) I am young and despised: yet I have not forgotten thine ordinances.

Psa 119:142

Psa 119:142(LXX 118:142) Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is truth.

Psa 119:143

Psa 119:143(LXX 118:143) Afflictions and distresses found me: but thy commandments were my meditation.

Psa 119:144

Psa 119:144(LXX 118:144) Thy testimonies are an everlasting righteousness: instruct me, and I shall live.

Psa 119:145

Psa 119:145(LXX 118:145) I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord: I will search out thine ordinances.

Psa 119:146

Psa 119:146(LXX 118:146) I cried to thee; save me, and I will keep thy testimonies.

Psa 119:147

Psa 119:147(LXX 118:147) I arose before the dawn, and cried: I hoped in thy words.

Psa 119:148

Psa 119:148(LXX 118:148) Mine eyes prevented the dawn, that I might meditate on thine oracles.

Psa 119:149

Psa 119:149(LXX 118:149) Hear my voice, O Lord, according to thy mercy; quicken me according to thy judgment.

Psa 119:150

Psa 119:150(LXX 118:150) They have drawn nigh who persecuted me unlawfully; and they are far removed from thy law.

Psa 119:151

Psa 119:151(LXX 118:151) Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy [fn]ways are truth.

Psa 119:152

Psa 119:152(LXX 118:152) I have known of old [fn]concerning thy testimonies, that thou hast founded them for ever.

Psa 119:153

Psa 119:153(LXX 118:153) Look upon mine affliction, and rescue me; for I have not forgotten thy law.

Psa 119:154

Psa 119:154(LXX 118:154) Plead my cause, and ransom me: quicken me because of thy word.

Psa 119:155

Psa 119:155(LXX 118:155) Salvation is far from sinners: for they have not searched out thine ordinances.

Psa 119:156

Psa 119:156(LXX 118:156) Thy mercies, O Lord, are many: quicken me according to thy judgment.

Psa 119:157

Psa 119:157(LXX 118:157) Many are they that persecute me and oppress me: but I have not declined from thy testimonies.

Psa 119:158

Psa 119:158(LXX 118:158) I beheld men acting foolishly, and I pined away; for they kept not thine oracles.

Psa 119:159

Psa 119:159(LXX 118:159) Behold, I have loved thy commandments, O Lord: quicken me in thy mercy.

Psa 119:160

Psa 119:160(LXX 118:160) The beginning of thy words is truth; and all the judgments of thy righteousness endure for ever.

Psa 119:161
