Indeed, they have not done iniquity, They have walked in His ways.

I have been afflicted very much, O YHWH, quicken me, according to Your word.
تَقَبَّلْ يَا رَبُّ صَلَوَاتِ شُكْرِي، وَعَلِّمْنِي أَحْكَامَكَ. | ١٠٨ 108 |
Please accept [the] free-will offerings of my mouth, O YHWH, And teach me Your judgments.

My soul [is] in my hand continually, And I have not forgotten Your law.
نَصَبَ الأَشْرَارُ لِي فَخّاً فَتَفَادَيْتُهُ لأَنِّي لَمْ أَضِلَّ عَنْ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١١٠ 110 |
The wicked have laid a snare for me, And I did not wander from your precepts.
اتَّخَذْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ مِيرَاثاً إِلَى الأَبَدِ، لأَنَّهَا بَهْجَةُ قَلْبِي. | ١١١ 111 |
I have inherited Your testimonies for all time, For they [are] the joy of my heart.

[SAMEKH] I have hated doubting ones, And I have loved Your law.

You [are] my hiding place and my shield, I have hoped for Your word.
ابْتَعِدُوا عَنِّي يَا فَاعِلِي الشَّرِّ، فَأَحْفَظَ وَصَايَا إِلَهِي. | ١١٥ 115 |
Turn aside from me, you evildoers, And I keep the commands of my God.
كُنْ سَنَدِي كَمَا وَعَدْتَ، فَأَحْيَا وَلَا يَخِيبَ رَجَائِي. | ١١٦ 116 |
Sustain me according to Your saying, And I live, and You do not put me to shame because of my hope.

Support me, and I am saved, And I look on Your statutes continually.
احْتَقَرْتَ الضَّالِّينَ عَنْ فَرَائِضِكَ، وَمَكْرُهُمْ لَا يُجْدِيهِمْ نَفْعاً. | ١١٨ 118 |
You have trodden down All going astray from Your statutes, For their deceit [is] falsehood.
رَذَلْتَ جَمِيعَ أَشْرَارِ الأَرْضِ كَأَنَّهُمْ نُفَايَةٌ، لِذَلِكَ أَحْبَبْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١١٩ 119 |
Dross! You have caused to cease All the wicked of the earth; Therefore I have loved Your testimonies.

My flesh has trembled from Your fear, And I have been afraid from Your judgments!
أَجْرَيْتُ قَضَاءً وَعَدْلاً، فَلَا تُسْلِمْنِي إِلَى ظَالِمِيَّ. | ١٢١ 121 |
[AYIN] I have done judgment and righteousness, Do not leave me to my oppressors.
كُنْ ضَامِناً لِخَيْرِ عَبْدِكَ، فَلَا يَجُورَ عَلَيَّ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ. | ١٢٢ 122 |
Make Your servant sure for good, Do not let the proud oppress me.
كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ اشْتِيَاقاً إِلَى خَلاصِكَ وَإِلَى تَحْقِيقِ وَعْدِكَ الأَمِينِ. | ١٢٣ 123 |
My eyes have been consumed for Your salvation. And for the saying of Your righteousness.

Time for YHWH to work! They have made Your law void.
لِذَلِكَ أُحِبُّ وَصَايَاكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ الْخَالِصِ، | ١٢٧ 127 |
Therefore I have loved Your commands Above gold—even fine gold.
وَلأَنِّي أَحْسِبُ كُلَّ فَرَائِضِكَ مُسْتَقِيمَةً فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، أُبْغِضُ كُلَّ طَرِيقٍ بَاطِلٍ. | ١٢٨ 128 |

Cause Your face to shine on Your servant, And teach me Your statutes.
فَاضَتْ مِنْ عَيْنَيَّ يَنَابِيعُ دَمْعٍ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُرَاعُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٣٦ 136 |
Streams of waters have come down my eyes, Because they have not kept Your law!

أَتَمَيَّزُ غَيْرَةً فِي دَاخِلِي، لأَنَّ أَعْدَائِي تَغَاضَوْا عَنْ كَلامِكَ. | ١٣٩ 139 |
My zeal has cut me off, For my adversaries forgot Your words.
أَقْوَالُكَ مُمَحَّصَةٌ نَقِيَّةٌ، وَعَبْدُكَ أَحَبَّهَا. | ١٤٠ 140 |
Your saying [is] tried exceedingly, And Your servant has loved it.

I have gone forward in the dawn, and I cry, I have hoped for Your word.
اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ أَظَلُّ مُسْتَيْقِظاً، أَتَأَمَّلُ فِي أَقْوَالِكَ | ١٤٨ 148 |
My eyes have gone before the watches, To meditate on Your saying.

My wicked pursuers have been near, They have been far off from Your law.

You [are] near, O YHWH, And all Your commands [are] truth.
مُنْذُ الْقَدِيمِ عَرَفْتُ مِنْ شَهَادَاتِكَ أَنَّكَ وَضَعْتَهَا لِتَثْبُتَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ١٥٢ 152 |
I have known Your testimonies of old, That You have founded them for all time!

Salvation [is] far from the wicked, For they have not sought Your statutes.

Your mercies [are] many, O YHWH, Quicken me according to Your judgments.
كَثِيرُونَ هُمْ أَعْدَائِي وَمُضْطَهِدِيَّ، وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أَحِدْ عَنْ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١٥٧ 157 |
My pursuers and adversaries are many, I have not turned aside from Your testimonies.
