Psalms 119
1 ALEPH. Blessed are the perfect in the way, who walk in the law of Jehovah.
Alleluia. Blessid ben men with out wem in the weie; that gon in the lawe of the Lord.
2 Blessed are they that observe his testimonies, that seek him with the whole heart;
Blessid ben thei, that seken hise witnessingis; seken him in al the herte.
3 Who also do no unrighteousness: they walk in his ways.
For thei that worchen wickidnesse; yeden not in hise weies.
4 Thou hast enjoined thy precepts, to be kept diligently.
Thou hast comaundid; that thin heestis be kept greetly.
5 Oh that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
I wolde that my weies be dressid; to kepe thi iustifiyngis.
6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
Thanne Y schal not be schent; whanne Y schal biholde perfitli in alle thin heestis.
7 I will give thee thanks with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
I schal knouleche to thee in the dressing of herte; in that that Y lernyde the domes of thi riytfulnesse.
8 I will keep thy statutes: forsake me not utterly.
I schal kepe thi iustifiyngis; forsake thou not me on ech side.
9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his path? by taking heed according to thy word.
In what thing amendith a yong waxinge man his weie? in keping thi wordis.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: let me not wander from thy commandments.
In al myn herte Y souyte thee; putte thou me not awei fro thin heestis.
11 Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.
In myn herte Y hidde thi spechis; that Y do not synne ayens thee.
12 Blessed art thou, Jehovah! teach me thy statutes.
Lord, thou art blessid; teche thou me thi iustifiyngis.
13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
In my lippis Y haue pronounsid; alle the domes of thi mouth.
14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as [much as] in all wealth.
I delitide in the weie of thi witnessingis; as in alle richessis.
15 I will meditate upon thy precepts, and have respect unto thy paths.
I schal be ocupied in thin heestis; and Y schal biholde thi weies.
16 I delight myself in thy statutes; I will not forget thy word.
I schal bithenke in thi iustifiyngis; Y schal not foryete thi wordis.
17 GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant [and] I shall live; and I will keep thy word.
Yelde to thi seruaunt; quiken thou me, and Y schal kepe thi wordis.
18 Open mine eyes, and I shall behold wondrous things out of thy law.
Liytne thou myn iyen; and Y schal biholde the merueils of thi lawe.
19 I am a stranger in the land; hide not thy commandments from me.
I am a comeling in erthe; hide thou not thin heestis fro me.
20 My soul breaketh for longing after thy judgments at all times.
Mi soule coueitide to desire thi iustifiyngis; in al tyme.
21 Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed, who wander from thy commandments.
Thou blamedist the proude; thei ben cursid, that bowen awei fro thin heestis.
22 Roll off from me reproach and contempt; for I observe thy testimonies.
Do thou awei `fro me schenschipe and dispising; for Y souyte thi witnessingis.
23 Princes also did sit [and] talk together against me: thy servant doth meditate in thy statutes.
For whi princis saten, and spaken ayens me; but thi seruaunt was exercisid in thi iustifiyngis.
24 Thy testimonies also are my delight [and] my counsellors.
For whi and thi witnessyngis is my thenkyng; and my counsel is thi iustifiyngis.
25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken me according to thy word.
Mi soule cleuede to the pawment; quykine thou me bi thi word.
26 I have declared my ways, and thou hast answered me: teach me thy statutes.
I telde out my weies, and thou herdist me; teche thou me thi iustifiyngis.
27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts, and I will meditate upon thy wondrous works.
Lerne thou me the weie of thi iustifiyngis; and Y schal be exercisid in thi merueils.
28 My soul melteth for sadness: strengthen me according to thy word.
Mi soule nappide for anoye; conferme thou me in thi wordis.
29 Remove from me the way of falsehood, and graciously grant me thy law.
Remoue thou fro me the weie of wickidnesse; and in thi lawe haue thou merci on me.
30 I have chosen the way of faithfulness; thy judgments have I set [before me].
I chees the weie of treuthe; Y foryat not thi domes.
31 I cleave unto thy testimonies; Jehovah, let me not be ashamed.
Lord, Y cleuede to thi witnessyngis; nyle thou schende me.
32 I will run the way of thy commandments when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
I ran the weie of thi comaundementis; whanne thou alargidist myn herte.
33 HE. Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of thy statutes, and I will observe it [unto] the end.
Lord, sette thou to me a lawe, the weie of thi iustifiyngis; and Y schal seke it euere.
34 Give me understanding, and I will observe thy law; and I will keep it with [my] whole heart.
Yyue thou vndurstonding to me, and Y schal seke thi lawe; and Y schal kepe it in al myn herte.
35 Make me to walk in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.
Lede me forth in the path of thin heestis; for Y wolde it.
36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to gain.
`Bowe thou myn herte in to thi witnessingus; and not in to aueryce.
37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; quicken me in thy way.
Turne thou awei myn iyen, that `tho seen not vanyte; quykene thou me in thi weie.
38 Establish thy word unto thy servant, who is [devoted] to thy fear.
Ordeyne thi speche to thi seruaunt; in thi drede.
39 Turn away my reproach which I fear; for thy judgments are good.
Kitte awey my schenschip, which Y supposide; for thi domes ben myrie.
40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.
Lo! Y coueitide thi comaundementis; quikene thou me in thin equite.
41 VAU. And let thy loving-kindness come unto me, O Jehovah, — thy salvation according to thy word.
And, Lord, thi merci come on me; thin heelthe come bi thi speche.
42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me; for I confide in thy word.
And Y schal answere a word to men seiynge schenschipe to me; for Y hopide in thi wordis.
43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; because I have hoped in thy judgments.
And take thou not awei fro my mouth the word of treuthe outerli; for Y hopide aboue in thi domes.
44 Then will I keep thy law continually, for ever and ever;
And Y schal kepe thi lawe euere; in to the world, and in to the world of world.
45 And I will walk at liberty, for I have sought thy precepts;
And Y yede in largenesse; for Y souyte thi comaundementis.
46 And I will speak of thy testimonies before kings, and will not be ashamed;
And Y spak of thi witnessyngis in the siyt of kingis; and Y was not schent.
47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved;
And Y bithouyte in thin heestis; whiche Y louede.
48 And I will lift up my hands unto thy commandments, which I have loved, and I will meditate in thy statutes.
And Y reiside myn hondis to thi comaundementis, whiche Y louede; and Y schal be excercisid in thi iustifiyngis.
49 ZAIN. Remember the word for thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
Lord, haue thou mynde on thi word to thi seruaunt; in which word thou hast youe hope to me.
50 This is my comfort in mine affliction; for thy word hath quickened me.
This coumfortide me in my lownesse; for thi word quikenede me.
51 The proud have derided me beyond measure: I have not declined from thy law.
Proude men diden wickidli bi alle thingis; but Y bowide not awei fro thi lawe.
52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O Jehovah, and have comforted myself.
Lord, Y was myndeful on thi domes fro the world; and Y was coumfortid.
53 Burning indignation hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked who forsake thy law.
Failing helde me; for synneris forsakinge thi lawe.
54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
Thi iustifiyngis weren delitable to me to be sungun; in the place of my pilgrimage.
55 I have remembered thy name, O Jehovah, in the night, and have kept thy law.
Lord, Y hadde mynde of thi name bi niyt; and Y kepte thi lawe.
56 This I have had, because I have observed thy precepts.
This thing was maad to me; for Y souyte thi iustifiyngis.
57 CHETH. My portion, O Jehovah, I have said, is to keep thy words.
Lord, my part; Y seide to kepe thi lawe.
58 I have sought thy favour with [my] whole heart: be gracious unto me according to thy word.
I bisouyte thi face in al myn herte; haue thou merci on me bi thi speche.
59 I have thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
I bithouyte my weies; and Y turnede my feet in to thi witnessyngis.
60 I have made haste, and not delayed, to keep thy commandments.
I am redi, and Y am not disturblid; to kepe thi comaundementis.
61 The bands of the wicked have wrapped me round: I have not forgotten thy law.
The coordis of synneris han biclippid me; and Y haue not foryete thi lawe.
62 At midnight I rise up to give thanks unto thee, because of thy righteous judgments.
At mydnyyt Y roos to knouleche to thee; on the domes of thi iustifiyngis.
63 I am the companion of all that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
I am parcener of alle that dreden thee; and kepen thin heestis.
64 The earth, O Jehovah, is full of thy loving-kindness: teach me thy statutes.
Lord, the erthe is ful of thi merci; teche thou me thi iustifiyngis.
65 TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Jehovah, according to thy word.
Lord, thou hast do goodnesse with thi seruaunt; bi thi word.
66 Teach me good discernment and knowledge; for I have believed in thy commandments.
Teche thou me goodnesse, and loore, and kunnyng; for Y bileuede to thin heestis.
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep thy word.
Bifor that Y was maad meke, Y trespasside; therfor Y kepte thi speche.
68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
Thou art good; and in thi goodnesse teche thou me thi iustifiyngis.
69 The proud have forged falsehood against me: I will observe thy precepts with [my] whole heart.
The wickidnesse of hem that ben proude, is multiplied on me; but in al myn herte Y schal seke thin heestis.
70 Their heart is as fat as grease: as for me, I delight in thy law.
The herte of hem is cruddid as mylk; but Y bithouyte thi lawe.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes.
It is good to me, that thou hast maad me meke; that Y lerne thi iustifiyngis.
72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
The lawe of thi mouth is betere to me; than thousyndis of gold and of siluer.
73 YOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, and I will learn thy commandments.
Thin hondis maden me, and fourmeden me; yyue thou vndurstondyng to me, that Y lerne thin heestis.
74 They that fear thee will see me, and rejoice; because I have hoped in thy word.
Thei that dreden thee schulen se me, and schulen be glad; for Y hopide more on thi wordis.
75 I know, Jehovah, that thy Judgments are righteousness, and that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.
Lord, Y knewe, that thi domes ben equite; and in thi treuth thou hast maad me meke.
76 Oh let thy loving-kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
Thi merci be maad, that it coumforte me; bi thi speche to thi seruaunt.
77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live; for thy law is my delight.
Thi merciful doyngis come to me, and Y schal lyue; for thi lawe is my thenkyng.
78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they have acted perversely towards me with falsehood: as for me, I meditate in thy precepts.
Thei that ben proude be schent, for vniustli thei diden wickidnesse ayens me; but Y schal be exercisid in thin heestis.
79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that know thy testimonies.
Thei that dreden thee be turned to me; and thei that knowen thi witnessyngis.
80 Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes, that I be not ashamed.
Myn herte be maad vnwemmed in thi iustifiyngis; that Y be not schent.
81 CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation; I hope in thy word.
Mi soule failide in to thin helthe; and Y hopide more on thi word.
82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
Myn iyen failiden in to thi speche; seiynge, Whanne schalt thou coumforte me?
83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; I do not forget thy statutes.
For Y am maad as a bowge in frost; Y haue not foryete thi iustifiyngis.
84 How many shall be the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
Hou many ben the daies of thi seruaunt; whanne thou schalt make doom of hem that pursuen me?
85 The proud have digged pits for me, which is not according to thy law.
Wickid men telden to me ianglyngis; but not as thi lawe.
86 All thy commandments are faithfulness. They persecute me wrongfully: help thou me.
Alle thi comaundementis ben treuthe; wickid men han pursued me, helpe thou me.
87 They had almost consumed me upon the earth; but as for me, I forsook not thy precepts.
Almeest thei endiden me in erthe; but I forsook not thi comaundementis.
88 Quicken me according to thy loving-kindness, and I will keep the testimony of thy mouth.
Bi thi mersi quikene thou me; and Y schal kepe the witnessingis of thi mouth.
89 LAMED. For ever, O Jehovah, thy word is settled in the heavens.
Lord, thi word dwellith in heuene; with outen ende.
90 Thy faithfulness is from generation to generation: thou hast established the earth, and it standeth.
Thi treuthe dwellith in generacioun, and in to generacioun; thou hast foundid the erthe, and it dwellith.
91 By thine ordinances they stand this day; for all things are thy servants.
The dai lastith contynueli bi thi ordynaunce; for alle thingis seruen to thee.
92 Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
No but that thi lawe was my thenking; thanne perauenture Y hadde perischid in my lownesse.
93 I will never forget thy precepts; for by them thou hast quickened me.
With outen ende Y schal not foryete thi iustifiyngis; for in tho thou hast quikened me.
94 I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.
I am thin, make thou me saaf; for Y haue souyt thi iustifiyngis.
95 The wicked have awaited me to destroy me; [but] I attend unto thy testimonies.
Synneris aboden me, for to leese me; Y vndurstood thi witnessingis.
96 I have seen an end of all perfection: thy commandment is exceeding broad.
I siy the ende of al ende; thi comaundement is ful large.
97 MEM. Oh how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
Lord, hou louede Y thi lawe; al dai it is my thenking.
98 Thy commandments make me wiser than mine enemies; for they are ever with me.
Aboue myn enemyes thou madist me prudent bi thi comaundement; for it is to me with outen ende.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers; for thy testimonies are my (meditation)
I vndurstood aboue alle men techinge me; for thi witnessingis is my thenking.
100 I understand more than the aged, because I have observed thy precepts.
I vndirstood aboue eelde men; for Y souyte thi comaundementis.

I forbeed my feet fro al euel weie; that Y kepe thi wordis.
102 I have not departed from thy judgments; for it is thou that hast taught me.
I bowide not fro thi domes; for thou hast set lawe to me.
103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! more than honey to my mouth!
Thi spechis ben ful swete to my cheekis; aboue hony to my mouth.
104 From thy precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false path.
I vnderstood of thin heestis; therfor Y hatide al the weie of wickidnesse.
105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Thi word is a lanterne to my feet; and liyt to my pathis.
106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
I swoor, and purposide stidefastli; to kepe the domes of thi riytfulnesse.
107 I am afflicted very much; O Jehovah, quicken me according to thy word.
I am maad low bi alle thingis; Lord, quykene thou me bi thi word.
108 Accept, I beseech thee, Jehovah, the voluntary-offerings of my mouth, and teach me thy judgments.
Lord, make thou wel plesinge the wilful thingis of my mouth; and teche thou me thi domes.
109 My life is continually in my hand; but I do not forget thy law.
Mi soule is euere in myn hondis; and Y foryat not thi lawe.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me; but I have not wandered from thy precepts.
Synneris settiden a snare to me; and Y erride not fro thi comaundementis.
111 Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever; for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
I purchasside thi witnessyngis bi eritage with outen ende; for tho ben the ful ioiyng of myn herte.
112 I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes for ever, unto the end.
I bowide myn herte to do thi iustifiyngis with outen ende; for reward.
113 SAMECH. The double-minded have I hated; but thy law do I love.
I hatide wickid men; and Y louede thi lawe.
114 Thou art my hiding-place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
Thou art myn helpere, and my `taker vp; and Y hopide more on thi word.
115 Depart from me, ye evil-doers; and I will observe the commandments of my God.
Ye wickide men, bowe awei fro me; and Y schal seke the comaundementis of my God.
116 Uphold me according to thy word, that I may live; and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
Vp take thou me bi thi word, and Y schal lyue; and schende thou not me fro myn abydyng.
117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe; and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.
Helpe thou me, and Y schal be saaf; and Y schal bithenke euere in thi iustifiyngis.
118 Thou hast set at nought all them that wander from thy statutes; for their deceit is falsehood.
Thou hast forsake alle men goynge awey fro thi domes; for the thouyt of hem is vniust.
119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth [like] dross; therefore I love thy testimonies.
I arettide alle the synneris of erthe brekeris of the lawe; therfor Y louede thi witnessyngis.
120 My flesh shuddereth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
Naile thou my fleischis with thi drede; for Y dredde of thi domes.
121 AIN. I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.
I dide doom and riytwisnesse; bitake thou not me to hem that falsli chalengen me.
122 Be surety for thy servant for good; let not the proud oppress me.
Take vp thi seruaunt in to goodnesse; thei that ben proude chalenge not me.
123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.
Myn iyen failiden in to thin helthe; and in to the speche of thi riytfulnesse.
124 Deal with thy servant according to thy loving-kindness, and teach me thy statutes.
Do thou with thi seruaunt bi thi merci; and teche thou me thi iustifiyngis.
125 I am thy servant; give me understanding that I may know thy testimonies.
I am thi seruaunt, yyue thou vndurstondyng to me; that Y kunne thi witnessingis.
126 It is time for Jehovah to work: they have made void thy law.
Lord, it is tyme to do; thei han distried thi lawe.
127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold, yea, above fine gold.
Therfor Y louede thi comaundementis; more than gold and topazion.
128 Therefore I regard all [thy] precepts concerning all things to be right: I hate every false path.
Therfor Y was dressid to alle thin heestis; Y hatide al wickid weie.
129 PE. Thy testimonies are wonderful; therefore doth my soul observe them.
Lord, thi witnessingis ben wondirful; therfor my soule souyte tho.
130 The entrance of thy words giveth light, giving understanding unto the simple.
Declaring of thi wordis liytneth; and yyueth vnderstonding to meke men.
131 I opened my mouth wide and panted; for I longed for thy commandments.
I openede my mouth, and drouy the spirit; for Y desiride thi comaundementis.
132 Turn unto me, and be gracious unto me, as thou art wont to do unto those that love thy name.
Biholde thou on me, and haue merci on me; bi the dom of hem that louen thi name.
133 Establish my steps in thy word; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
Dresse thou my goyingis bi thi speche; that al vnriytfulnesse haue not lordschip on me.
134 Deliver me from the oppression of man; and I will keep thy precepts.
Ayeyn bie thou me fro the false chalengis of men; that Y kepe thin heestis.
135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant, and teach me thy statutes.
Liytne thi face on thi seruaunt; and teche thou me thi iustifiyngis.
136 Mine eyes run down with streams of water, because they keep not thy law.
Myn iyen ledden forth the outgoynges of watris; for thei kepten not thi lawe.
137 TZADE. Righteous art thou, Jehovah, and upright are thy judgments.
Lord, thou art iust; and thi dom is riytful.
138 Thou hast commanded thy testimonies in righteousness and exceeding faithfulness.
Thou hast comaundid riytfulnesse, thi witnessingis; and thi treuthe greetli to be kept.

Thi speche is greetli enflawmed; and thi seruaunt louede it.

142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is truth.
Lord, thi riytfulnesse is riytfulnesse with outen ende; and thi lawe is treuthe.
143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold upon me: thy commandments are my delights.

144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is for ever: give me understanding, and I shall live.
Thi witnessyngis is equite with outen ende; yyue thou vndirstondyng to me, and Y schal lyue.

146 I call upon thee; save me, and I will keep thy testimonies.

151 Thou, Jehovah, art near, and all thy commandments are truth.

153 RESH. See mine affliction, and deliver me; for I have not forgotten thy law.
Se thou my mekenesse, and delyuere thou me; for Y foryat not thi lawe.
154 Plead my cause, and redeem me: quicken me according to thy word.
Deme thou my dom, and ayenbie thou me; quikene thou me for thi speche.
155 Salvation is far from the wicked; for they seek not thy statutes.
Heelthe is fer fro synners; for thei souyten not thi iustifiyngis.
156 Many are thy tender mercies, O Jehovah; quicken me according to thy judgments.
Lord, thi mercies ben manye; quykene thou me bi thi dom.
157 Many are my persecutors and mine oppressors; I have not declined from thy testimonies.
Thei ben manye that pursuen me, and doen tribulacioun to me; Y bowide not awei fro thi witnessingis.
158 I beheld them that deal treacherously, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.
I siy brekers of the lawe, and Y was meltid; for thei kepten not thi spechis.
159 See how I have loved thy precepts: quicken me, O Jehovah, according to thy loving-kindness.
Lord, se thou, for Y louede thi comaundementis; quikene thou me in thi merci.
160 The sum of thy word is truth, and every righteous judgment of thine is for ever.
The bigynnyng of thi wordis is treuthe; alle the domes of thi riytwisnesse ben withouten ende.
161 SHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause; but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.

165 Great peace have they that love thy law, and nothing doth stumble them.
Miche pees is to hem that louen thi lawe; and no sclaundir is to hem.

Thin hond be maad, that it saue me; for Y haue chose thin heestis.
174 I have longed for thy salvation, O Jehovah, and thy law is my delight.
Lord, Y coueitide thin heelthe; and thi lawe is my thenking.
175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.
Mi soule schal lyue, and schal herie thee; and thi domes schulen helpe me.
176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep: seek thy servant; for I have not forgotten thy commandments.
I erride as a scheep that perischide; Lord, seke thi seruaunt, for Y foryat not thi comaundementis.
