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

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

NUN Your word is a light for my feet, ever shining on my way.

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

I am greatly troubled, O Lord, give me life in keeping with your word.
| ٱرْتَضِ بِمَنْدُوبَاتِ فَمِي يَارَبُّ، وَأَحْكَامَكَ عَلِّمْنِي. | ١٠٨ 108 |
Take, O Lord, the free offerings of my mouth, and give me knowledge of your decisions.

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

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

I have taken your unchanging word as an eternal heritage; for it is the joy of my heart.
| عَطَفْتُ قَلْبِي لِأَصْنَعَ فَرَائِضَكَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ إِلَى ٱلنِّهَايَةِ. | ١١٢ 112 |
My heart is ever ready to keep your rules, even to the end.
| ٱلْمُتَقَلِّبِينَ أَبْغَضْتُ، وَشَرِيعَتَكَ أَحْبَبْتُ. | ١١٣ 113 |
SAMECH I am a hater of men of doubting mind; but I am a lover of your law.

You are my secret place and my breastplate against danger; my hope is in your word.
| ٱنْصَرِفُوا عَنِّي أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَشْرَارُ، فَأَحْفَظَ وَصَايَا إِلَهِي. | ١١٥ 115 |
Go far from me, you evil-doers; so that I may keep the teachings of my God.
| ٱعْضُدْنِي حَسَبَ قَوْلِكَ فَأَحْيَا، وَلَا تُخْزِنِي مِنْ رَجَائِي. | ١١٦ 116 |
Be my support as you have said, and give me life; let not my hope be turned to shame.
| أَسْنِدْنِي فَأَخْلُصَ، وَأُرَاعِيَ فَرَائِضَكَ دَائِمًا. | ١١٧ 117 |
Let me not be moved, and I will be safe, and ever take delight in your rules.
| ٱحْتَقَرْتَ كُلَّ ٱلضَّالِّينَ عَنْ فَرَائِضِكَ، لِأَنَّ مَكْرَهُمْ بَاطِلٌ. | ١١٨ 118 |
You have overcome all those who are wandering from your rules; for all their thoughts are false.
| كَزَغَلٍ عَزَلْتَ كُلَّ أَشْرَارِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِذَلِكَ أَحْبَبْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١١٩ 119 |
All the sinners of the earth are like waste metal in your eyes; and for this cause I give my love to your unchanging word.

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

AIN I have done what is good and right: you will not give me into the hands of those who are working against me.
| كُنْ ضَامِنَ عَبْدِكَ لِلْخَيْرِ، لِكَيْلَا يَظْلِمَنِي ٱلْمُسْتَكْبِرُونَ. | ١٢٢ 122 |
Take your servant's interests into your keeping; let me not be crushed by the men of pride.
| كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ ٱشْتِيَاقًا إِلَى خَلَاصِكَ وَإِلَى كَلِمَةِ بِرِّكَ. | ١٢٣ 123 |
My eyes are wasted with desire for your salvation, and for the word of your righteousness.

Be good to your servant in your mercy, and give me teaching in your rules.

I am your servant; give me wisdom, so that I may have knowledge of your unchanging word.
| إِنَّهُ وَقْتُ عَمَلٍ لِلرَّبِّ. قَدْ نَقَضُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٢٦ 126 |
It is time, O Lord, for you to let your work be seen; for they have made your law without effect.
| لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَحْبَبْتُ وَصَايَاكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْإِبْرِيزِ. | ١٢٧ 127 |
For this reason I have greater love far your teachings than for gold, even for shining gold.
| لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ حَسِبْتُ كُلَّ وَصَايَاكَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُسْتَقِيمَةً. كُلَّ طَرِيقِ كَذِبٍ أَبْغَضْتُ. | ١٢٨ 128 |
Because of it I keep straight in all things by your orders; and I am a hater of every false way.

The opening of your words gives light; it gives good sense to the simple.

My mouth was open wide, waiting with great desire for your teachings.

Let 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.

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

Let your servant see the shining of your face; give me knowledge of your rules.
| جَدَاوِلُ مِيَاهٍ جَرَتْ مِنْ عَيْنَيَّ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَحْفَظُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٣٦ 136 |
Rivers of water are flowing from my eyes, because men do not keep your law.
| بَارٌّ أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ، وَأَحْكَامُكَ مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ. | ١٣٧ 137 |
TZADE O Lord, great is your righteousness, and upright are your decisions.
| عَدْلًا أَمَرْتَ بِشَهَادَاتِكَ، وَحَقًّا إِلَى ٱلْغَايَةِ. | ١٣٨ 138 |
You have given your unchanging word in righteousness, and it is for ever.
| أَهْلَكَتْنِي غَيْرَتِي، لِأَنَّ أَعْدَائِي نَسُوا كَلَامَكَ. | ١٣٩ 139 |
My passion has overcome me; because my haters are turned away from your words.
| كَلِمَتُكَ مُمَحَّصَةٌ جِدًّا، وَعَبْدُكَ أَحَبَّهَا. | ١٤٠ 140 |
Your word is of tested value; and it is dear to your servant.
| صَغِيرٌ أَنَا وَحَقِيرٌ، أَمَّا وَصَايَاكَ فَلَمْ أَنْسَهَا. | ١٤١ 141 |
I am small and of no account; but I keep your orders in mind.

Your righteousness is an unchanging righteousness, and your law is certain.
| ضِيْقٌ وَشِدَّةٌ أَصَابَانِي، أَمَّا وَصَايَاكَ فَهِيَ لَذَّاتِي. | ١٤٣ 143 |
Pain and trouble have overcome me: but your teachings are my delight.

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

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

In the night watches I am awake, so that I may give thought to your saying.
| صَوْتِيَ ٱسْتَمِعْ حَسَبَ رَحْمَتِكَ. يَارَبُّ، حَسَبَ أَحْكَامِكَ أَحْيِنِي. | ١٤٩ 149 |
Let my voice come to you, in your mercy; O Lord, by your decisions give me life.
| ٱقْتَرَبَ ٱلتَّابِعُونَ ٱلرَّذِيلَةَ. عَنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ بَعُدُوا. | ١٥٠ 150 |
Those who have evil designs against me come near; they are far from your law.

You are near, O Lord; and all your teachings are true.
| مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ عَرَفْتُ مِنْ شَهَادَاتِكَ أَنَّكَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ أَسَّسْتَهَا. | ١٥٢ 152 |
I have long had knowledge that your unchanging word is for ever.

| ٱلْخَلَاصُ بَعِيدٌ عَنِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَلْتَمِسُوا فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٥٥ 155 |
Salvation is far from evil-doers; for they have made no search for your rules.

Great is the number of your mercies, O Lord; give me life in keeping with your decisions.
| كَثِيرُونَ مُضْطَهِدِيَّ وَمُضَايِقِيَّ، أَمَّا شَهَادَاتُكَ فَلَمْ أَمِلْ عَنْهَا. | ١٥٧ 157 |
Great is the number of those who are against me; but I have not been turned away from your unchanging word.
| رَأَيْتُ ٱلْغَادِرِينَ وَمَقَتُّ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَحْفَظُوا كَلِمَتَكَ. | ١٥٨ 158 |
I saw with hate those who were untrue to you; for they did not keep your saying.
