With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.

Princes also did sit [and] speak against me: [but] thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.

I have adhered to thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.

So shall I have with which to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.

This [is] my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath revived me.
| جَاوَزَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ الْحَدَّ فِي السُّخْرِيَةِ بِي، لَكِنْ عَنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ لَمْ أَمِلْ. | ٥١ 51 |
The proud have had me greatly in derision: [yet] I have not declined from thy law.
| تَذَكَّرْتُ أَحْكَامَكَ مُنْذُ الدَّهْرِ يَا رَبُّ، فَتَعَزَّيْتُ. | ٥٢ 52 |
I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.
| تَوَلّانِي الْغَيْظُ مِنَ الأَشْرَارِ الَّذِينَ نَبَذُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ٥٣ 53 |
Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
| صَارَتْ فَرَائِضُكَ تَرْنِيمَاتٍ لِي فِي أَرْضِ غُرْبَتِي. | ٥٤ 54 |
Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
| ذَكَرْتُ فِي اللَّيْلِ اسْمَكَ يَا رَبُّ، وَحَفِظْتُ شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ٥٥ 55 |
I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.

This I had, because I kept thy precepts.

CHETH. [Thou art] my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.

I entreated thy favor with [my] whole heart: be merciful to me according to thy word.

I thought on my ways, and turned my feet to thy testimonies.
| أَسْرَعْتُ مِنْ غَيْرِ تَوَانٍ إِلَى الْعَمَلِ بِوَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٠ 60 |
I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.

The bands of the wicked have robbed me: [but] I have not forgotten thy law.
| أَسْتَيْقِظُ فِي مُنْتَصَفِ اللَّيْلِ لأَحْمَدَكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَحْكَامِكَ الْعَادِلَةِ. | ٦٢ 62 |
At midnight I will rise to give thanks to thee, because of thy righteous judgments.
| رَفِيقٌ أَنَا لِكُلِّ الَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَكَ، وَلِحَافِظِي وَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٣ 63 |
I [am] a companion of all [them] that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.

The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.

TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according to thy word.

Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.

Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.
| أَنْتَ صَالِحٌ وَمُحْسِنٌ فَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٦٨ 68 |
Thou [art] good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
| لَفَّقَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ عَلَيَّ أَقْوَالاً كَاذِبَةً، أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِكُلِّ قَلْبِي أَحْفَظُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٩ 69 |
The proud have forged a lie against me: [but] I will keep thy precepts with [my] whole heart.
| غَلُظَ قَلْبُهُمْ وَتَقَسَّى، أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَتَمَتَّعُ بِشَرِيعَتِكَ. | ٧٠ 70 |
Their heart is as gross as fat; [but] I delight in thy law.
| كَانَ مَا ذُقْتُ مِنْ هَوَانٍ لِخَيْرِي فَتَعَلَّمْتُ فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٧١ 71 |
[It is] good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
| شَرِيعَةُ فَمِكَ خَيْرٌ لِي مِنْ كُلِّ ذَهَبِ الْعَالَمِ وَفِضَّتِهِ. | ٧٢ 72 |
The law of thy mouth [is] better to me than thousands of gold and silver.
| يَدَاكَ صَنَعَتَانِي وَكَوَّنَتَانِي، فَهَبْنِي فَهْماً لأَتَعَلَّمَ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٧٣ 73 |
JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
| فَيَرَانِي مُتَّقُوكَ وَيَفْرَحُونَ، لأَنِّي انْتَظَرْتُ كَلامَكَ. | ٧٤ 74 |
They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.
| قَدْ عَلِمْتُ يَا رَبُّ أَنَّ أَحْكَامَكَ عَادِلَةٌ، وَأَنَّكَ بِالْحَقِّ أَدَّبْتَنِي. | ٧٥ 75 |
I know, O LORD, that thy judgments [are] right, and [that] thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
| فَلْتَكُنْ رَحْمَتُكَ تَعْزِيَةً لِي، بِمُقْتَضَى وَعْدِكَ لِعَبْدِكَ. | ٧٦ 76 |
Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word to thy servant.
| لِتَأْتِنِي مَرَاحِمُكَ فَأَحْيَا، لأَنَّ شَرِيعَتَكَ هِيَ مُتْعَتِي. | ٧٧ 77 |
Let thy tender mercies come to me, that I may live: for thy law [is] my delight.
| لِيَخْزَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ لأَنَّهُمُ افْتَرَوْا عَلَيَّ زُوراً، أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَتَأَمَّلُ فِي وَصَايَاكَ. | ٧٨ 78 |
Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: [but] I will meditate in thy precepts.
| لِيَنْضَمَّ إِلَيَّ مُتَّقُوكَ وَعَارِفُو شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ٧٩ 79 |
Let those that fear thee turn to me, and those that have known thy testimonies.
| لِيَكُنْ قَلْبِي مُتَعَلِّقاً بِكَامِلِ فَرَائِضِكَ، فَلَا أَخْزَى. | ٨٠ 80 |
Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I may not be ashamed.
| تَتَلَهَّفُ نَفْسِي إِلَى خَلاصِكَ. رَجَائِي هُوَ كَلِمَتُكَ. | ٨١ 81 |
CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: [but] I hope in thy word.
| كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ فِي انْتِظَارِ كَلامِكَ، وَأَنَا أَقُولُ: مَتَى تُعَزِّينِي؟ | ٨٢ 82 |
My eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
| أَصْبَحْتُ كَقِرْبَةِ خَمْرٍ أَتْلَفَتْهَا الْحَرَارَةُ وَالدُّخَانُ، وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٨٣ 83 |
For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; [yet] I do not forget thy statutes.
| كَمْ هِي أَيَّامُ عُمْرِ عَبْدِكَ؟ مَتَى تُنْزِلُ الْقَضَاءَ بِالَّذِينَ يَضْطَهِدُونَنِي؟ | ٨٤ 84 |
How many [are] the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
| الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ الَّذِينَ يَعْصَوْنَ شَرِيعَتَكَ حَفَرُوا لِي حُفَراً. | ٨٥ 85 |
The proud have digged pits for me, which [are] not according to thy law.
| وَصَايَاكَ كُلُّهَا صَادِقَةٌ. زُوراً يَضْطَهِدُونَنِي فَأَغِثْنِي. | ٨٦ 86 |
All thy commandments [are] faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
| لَوْلَا قَلِيلٌ لأَفْنَوْنِي مِنَ الأَرْضِ، لَكِنِّي لَمْ أَتْرُكْ شَرِيعَتَكْ. | ٨٧ 87 |
They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
| أَحْيِنِي بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ، فَأُطِيعَ شَرَائِعَكَ. | ٨٨ 88 |
Revive me after thy loving-kindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
| يَا رَبُّ كَلِمَتُكَ تَدُومُ ثَابِتَةً فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٨٩ 89 |
LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
| مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ أَمَانَتُكَ. أَنْتَ أَسَّسْتَ الأَرْضَ فَلَنْ تَتَزَعْزَعَ. | ٩٠ 90 |
Thy faithfulness [is] to all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
| بِمُوْجِبِ أَحْكَامِكَ تَثْبُتُ الْيَوْمَ، لأَنَّ الْكُلَّ خُدَّامٌ لَكَ. | ٩١ 91 |
They continue this day according to thy ordinances: for all [are] thy servants.
| لَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ شَرِيعَتُكَ مُتْعَتِي، لَهَلَكْتُ فِي مَذَلَّتِي، | ٩٢ 92 |
Unless thy law [had been] my delights, I should then have perished in my affliction.
| لَنْ أَنْسَى وَصَايَاكَ أَبَداً، لأَنَّكَ بِها وَهَبْتَنِي الْحَيَاةَ. | ٩٣ 93 |
I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast revived me.
| أَنَا لَكَ، فَخَلِّصْنِي، لأَنِّي الْتَمَسْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٩٤ 94 |
I [am] thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.
| تَرَبَّصَ بِيَ الأَشْرَارُ لِيُهْلِكُونِي، لَكِنِّي أَتَأَمَّلُ فِي شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ٩٥ 95 |
The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: [but] I will consider thy testimonies.
| رَأَيْتُ لِكُلِّ كَمَالٍ حَدّاً، أَمَّا وَصِيَّتُكَ فَلَا حَدَّ لَهَا. | ٩٦ 96 |
I have seen an end of all perfection: [but] thy commandment [is] exceeding broad.
| كَمْ أَحْبَبْتُ شَرِيعَتَكَ، إِنَّهَا مَوْضُوعُ تَأَمُّلِي طُولَ النَّهَارِ. | ٩٧ 97 |
MEM. O how I love thy law! it [is] my meditation all the day.
| وَصِيَّتُكَ جَعَلَتْنِي أَحْكَمَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، لأَنَّهَا نَصِيبِي إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٩٨ 98 |
Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than my enemies: for they [are] ever with me.
| صِرْتُ أَكْثَرَ فَهْماً مِنْ مُعَلِّمِيَّ، لأَنَّ شَهَادَاتِكَ هِيَ مَوْضُوعُ تَأَمُّلِي. | ٩٩ 99 |
I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies [are] my (meditation)
| صِرْتُ أَكْثَرَ فِطْنَةً مِنَ الشُّيُوخِ، لأَنِّي رَاعَيْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٠٠ 100 |
I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
| مَنَعْتُ قَدَمَيَّ عَنْ سُلُوكِ كُلِّ طَرِيقِ شَرٍّ، لِكَيْ أَحْفَظَ كَلامَكَ. | ١٠١ 101 |
I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
| لَمْ أَبْتَعِدْ عَنْ أَحْكَامِكَ لأَنَّكَ هَكَذَا عَلَّمْتَنِي. | ١٠٢ 102 |
I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
| مَا أَحْلَى أَقْوَالَكَ لِمَذَاقِي. إِنَّهَا أَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ فِي فَمِي. | ١٠٣ 103 |
How sweet are thy words to my taste! [yes, sweeter] than honey to my mouth!
| مِنْ وَصَايَاكَ اكْتَسَبْتُ فِطْنَةً لِذَلِكَ أَبْغَضْتُ كُلَّ طَرِيقٍ بَاطِلٍ. | ١٠٤ 104 |
Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
| سِرَاجٌ لِرِجْلِي كَلامُكَ وَنُورٌ لِسَبِيلِي. | ١٠٥ 105 |
NUN. Thy word [is] a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.
| أَقْسَمْتُ يَمِيناً مُوَثَّقَةً أَنْ أَحْفَظَ أَحْكَامَكَ الْعَادِلَةَ. | ١٠٦ 106 |
I have sworn, and I will perform [it], that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
| قَاسَيْتُ جِدّاً فَأَنْعِشْنِي يَا رَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى وَعْدِكَ. | ١٠٧ 107 |
I am afflicted very much: revive me, O LORD, according to thy word.
| تَقَبَّلْ يَا رَبُّ صَلَوَاتِ شُكْرِي، وَعَلِّمْنِي أَحْكَامَكَ. | ١٠٨ 108 |
Accept, I beseech thee, the free-will-offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.
| نَفْسِي دَائِماً فِي كَفِّي، لَكِنِّي لَا أَنْسَى شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٠٩ 109 |
My soul [is] continually in my hand: yet I do not forget thy law.
| نَصَبَ الأَشْرَارُ لِي فَخّاً فَتَفَادَيْتُهُ لأَنِّي لَمْ أَضِلَّ عَنْ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١١٠ 110 |
The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.
| اتَّخَذْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ مِيرَاثاً إِلَى الأَبَدِ، لأَنَّهَا بَهْجَةُ قَلْبِي. | ١١١ 111 |
Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they [are] the rejoicing of my heart.
| لَقَدْ عَزَمْتُ أَنْ أُتَمِّمَ فَرَائِضَكَ إِلَى أَنْ أَمُوتَ. | ١١٢ 112 |
I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes always, [even to] the end.
| أَبْغَضْتُ ذَوِي الرَّأْيِ الْمُتَقَلِّبِ، أَمَّا شَرِيعَتُكَ فَأَحْبَبْتُ. | ١١٣ 113 |
SAMECH. I hate [vain] thoughts: but thy law do I love.
| أَنْتَ مَلْجَإِي وَتُرْسِي، وَأَمَلِي فِي كَلِمَتِكَ. | ١١٤ 114 |
Thou [art] my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
| ابْتَعِدُوا عَنِّي يَا فَاعِلِي الشَّرِّ، فَأَحْفَظَ وَصَايَا إِلَهِي. | ١١٥ 115 |
Depart from me, ye evil-doers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
| كُنْ سَنَدِي كَمَا وَعَدْتَ، فَأَحْيَا وَلَا يَخِيبَ رَجَائِي. | ١١٦ 116 |
Uphold me according to thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
| اعْضُدْنِي فَأَخْلُصَ، وَأُرَاعِيَ فَرَائِضَكَ دَائِماً. | ١١٧ 117 |
Support me, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect to thy statutes continually.
| احْتَقَرْتَ الضَّالِّينَ عَنْ فَرَائِضِكَ، وَمَكْرُهُمْ لَا يُجْدِيهِمْ نَفْعاً. | ١١٨ 118 |
Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.
| رَذَلْتَ جَمِيعَ أَشْرَارِ الأَرْضِ كَأَنَّهُمْ نُفَايَةٌ، لِذَلِكَ أَحْبَبْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١١٩ 119 |
Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth [like] dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.
| اقْشَعَرَّ بَدَنِي رُعْباً مِنْكَ وَجَزِعْتُ مِنْ أَحْكَامِكَ. | ١٢٠ 120 |
My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
| أَجْرَيْتُ قَضَاءً وَعَدْلاً، فَلَا تُسْلِمْنِي إِلَى ظَالِمِيَّ. | ١٢١ 121 |
AIN. I have done judgment and justice; leave me not to my oppressors.
| كُنْ ضَامِناً لِخَيْرِ عَبْدِكَ، فَلَا يَجُورَ عَلَيَّ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ. | ١٢٢ 122 |
Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.
| كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ اشْتِيَاقاً إِلَى خَلاصِكَ وَإِلَى تَحْقِيقِ وَعْدِكَ الأَمِينِ. | ١٢٣ 123 |
My eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.
| عَامِلْ عَبْدَكَ بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ، وَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٢٤ 124 |
Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.
| عَبْدُكَ أَنَا، فَهَبْنِي فَهْماً لأَعْرِفَ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١٢٥ 125 |
I [am] thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.
| يَا رَبُّ آنَ لَكَ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ، فَقَدْ نَقَضُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٢٦ 126 |
[It is] time for [thee], LORD, to work: [for] they have made void thy law.
| لِذَلِكَ أُحِبُّ وَصَايَاكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ الْخَالِصِ، | ١٢٧ 127 |
Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yes, above fine gold.
| وَلأَنِّي أَحْسِبُ كُلَّ فَرَائِضِكَ مُسْتَقِيمَةً فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، أُبْغِضُ كُلَّ طَرِيقٍ بَاطِلٍ. | ١٢٨ 128 |
Therefore I esteem all [thy] precepts [concerning] all [things to be] right; [and] I hate every false way.
| مَا أَعْجَبَ شَهَادَاتِكَ. لِذَلِكَ تُرَاعِيهَا نَفْسِي. | ١٢٩ 129 |
PE. Thy testimonies [are] wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.

The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding to the simple.
| فَغَرْتُ فَمِي لاهِثاً اشْتِيَاقاً إِلَى وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٣١ 131 |
I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
| الْتَفِتْ إِلَيَّ وَتَحَنَّنْ عَلَيَّ، كَمَا تَفْعَلُ دَائِماً مَعَ مُحِبِّيكَ. | ١٣٢ 132 |
Look thou upon me, and be merciful to me, as thou usest to do to those that love thy name.
| ثَبِّتْ خُطْوَاتِي فِي كَلِمَتِكَ، وَلَا تَدَعْ أَيَّ إِثْمٍ يَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَيَّ. | ١٣٣ 133 |
Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
| أَضِئْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَى عَبْدِكَ، وَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٣٥ 135 |
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: and teach me thy statutes.
| فَاضَتْ مِنْ عَيْنَيَّ يَنَابِيعُ دَمْعٍ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُرَاعُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٣٦ 136 |
Rivers of waters run down my eyes, because they keep not thy law.
| عَادِلٌ أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ، وَأَحْكَامُكَ مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ. | ١٣٧ 137 |
TSADDI. Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, and upright [are] thy judgments.

Thy testimonies [that] thou hast commanded [are] righteous and very faithful.
| أَتَمَيَّزُ غَيْرَةً فِي دَاخِلِي، لأَنَّ أَعْدَائِي تَغَاضَوْا عَنْ كَلامِكَ. | ١٣٩ 139 |
My zeal hath consumed me; because my enemies have forgotten thy words.
| أَقْوَالُكَ مُمَحَّصَةٌ نَقِيَّةٌ، وَعَبْدُكَ أَحَبَّهَا. | ١٤٠ 140 |
Thy word [is] very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.

I [am] small and despised: [yet] I do not forget thy precepts.
| عَدْلُكَ عَدْلٌ أَبَدِيٌّ وَشَرِيعَتُكَ حَقٌّ. | ١٤٢ 142 |
Thy righteousness [is] an everlasting righteousness, and thy law [is] the truth.
| اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيَّ الضِّيقُ وَالشِّدَّةُ، وَلَا لَذَّةَ لِي إِلّا بِوَصَايَاكَ. | ١٤٣ 143 |
Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: [yet] thy commandments [are] my delights.

The righteousness of thy testimonies [is] everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.
| صَرَخْتُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِي، فَاسْتَجِبْ لِي يَا رَبُّ، وَسَأُرَاعِي شَرَائِعَكَ. | ١٤٥ 145 |

I came before the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.

My eyes anticipated the [night] watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
| اسْتَمِعْ لِي يَا رَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ، وَأَحْيِنِي بِمُوْجِبِ أَحْكَامِكَ. | ١٤٩ 149 |
Hear my voice, according to thy loving-kindness: O LORD, revive me according to thy judgment.
| اقْتَرَبَ مِنِّي السَّاعُونَ وَرَاءَ الرَّذِيلَةِ، الْبَعِيدُونَ عَنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ. | ١٥٠ 150 |
They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
| إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيَّ، وَوَصَايَاكَ كُلُّهَا حَقٌّ. | ١٥١ 151 |
Thou [art] near, O LORD; and all thy commandments [are] truth.
| مُنْذُ الْقَدِيمِ عَرَفْتُ مِنْ شَهَادَاتِكَ أَنَّكَ وَضَعْتَهَا لِتَثْبُتَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ١٥٢ 152 |
Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.

Salvation [is] far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
| مَا أَكْثَرَ مَرَاحِمَكَ يَا رَبُّ. أَحْيِنِي بِمُقْتَضَى أَحْكَامِكَ. | ١٥٦ 156 |
Great [are] thy tender mercies, O LORD: revive me according to thy judgments.
| كَثِيرُونَ هُمْ أَعْدَائِي وَمُضْطَهِدِيَّ، وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أَحِدْ عَنْ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١٥٧ 157 |
Many [are] my persecutors and my enemies; [yet] I do not decline from thy testimonies.
