Psalms 119
1 ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.
alleluia aleph beati inmaculati in via qui ambulant in lege Domini
2 Blessed are they who search his testimonies: that seek him with their whole heart.
beati qui scrutantur testimonia eius in toto corde exquirent eum
3 For they that work iniquity, have not walked in his ways.
non enim qui operantur iniquitatem in viis eius ambulaverunt
4 Thou hast commanded thy commandments to be kept most diligently.
tu mandasti mandata tua custodire nimis
5 O! that my ways may be directed to keep thy justifications.
utinam dirigantur viae meae ad custodiendas iustificationes tuas
6 Then shall I not be confounded, when I shall look into all thy commandments.
tunc non confundar cum perspexero in omnibus mandatis tuis
7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned the judgments of thy justice.
confitebor tibi in directione cordis in eo quod didici iudicia iustitiae tuae
8 I will keep thy justifications: O! do not thou utterly forsake me.
iustificationes tuas custodiam non me derelinquas usquequaque
9 BETH. By what doth a young man correct his way? by observing thy words.
beth in quo corriget adulescentior viam suam in custodiendo sermones tuos
10 With my whole heart have I sought after thee: let me not stray from thy commandments.
in toto corde meo exquisivi te non repellas me a mandatis tuis
11 Thy words have I hidden in my heart, that I may not sin against thee.
in corde meo abscondi eloquia tua ut non peccem tibi
12 Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy justifications.
benedictus es Domine doce me iustificationes tuas
13 With my lips I have pronounced all the judgments of thy mouth.

17 GIMEL. Give bountifully to thy servant, enliven me: and I shall keep thy words.
gimel retribue servo tuo vivifica me et custodiam sermones tuos
18 Open thou my eyes: and I will consider the wondrous things of thy law.
revela oculos meos et considerabo mirabilia de lege tua
19 I am a sojourner on the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
incola ego sum in terra non abscondas a me mandata tua
20 My soul hath coveted to long for thy justifications, at all times.
concupivit anima mea desiderare iustificationes tuas in omni tempore
21 Thou hast rebuked the proud: they are cursed who decline from thy commandments.
increpasti superbos maledicti qui declinant a mandatis tuis
22 Remove from reproach and contempt: because I have sought after thy testimonies.
aufer a me obprobrium et contemptum quia testimonia tua exquisivi
23 For princes sat, and spoke against me: but thy servant was employed in thy justifications.
etenim sederunt principes et adversum me loquebantur servus autem tuus exercebatur in iustificationibus tuis
24 For thy testimonies are my (meditation) and thy justifications my counsel.
nam et testimonia tua meditatio mea et consilium meum iustificationes tuae

30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments I have not forgotten.
viam veritatis elegi iudicia tua non sum oblitus
31 I have stuck to thy testimonies, O Lord: put me not to shame.
adhesi testimoniis tuis Domine noli me confundere
32 I have run the way of thy commandments, when thou didst enlarge my heart.
viam mandatorum tuorum cucurri cum dilatasti cor meum

vav et veniat super me misericordia tua Domine salutare tuum secundum eloquium tuum
42 So shall I answer them that reproach me in any thing; that I have trusted in thy words.
et respondebo exprobrantibus mihi verbum quia speravi in sermonibus tuis
43 And take not thou the word of truth utterly out of my mouth: for in thy words have I hoped exceedingly.
et ne auferas de ore meo verbum veritatis usquequaque quia in iudiciis tuis supersperavi
44 So shall I always keep thy law, for ever and ever.
et custodiam legem tuam semper in saeculum et in saeculum saeculi
45 And I walked at large: because I have sought after thy commandments.
et ambulabam in latitudine quia mandata tua exquisivi
46 And I spoke of thy testimonies before kings: and I was not ashamed.

superbi inique agebant usquequaque a lege autem tua non declinavi
52 I remembered, O Lord, thy judgments of old: and I was comforted.
memor fui iudiciorum tuorum a saeculo Domine et consolatus sum
53 A fainting hath taken hold of me, because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
defectio tenuit me prae peccatoribus derelinquentibus legem tuam
54 Thy justifications were the subject of my song, in the place of my pilgrimage.
cantabiles mihi erant iustificationes tuae in loco peregrinationis meae
55 In the night I have remembered thy name, O Lord: and have kept thy law.
memor fui in nocte nominis tui Domine et custodivi legem tuam
56 This happened to me: because I sought after thy justifications.

teth bonitatem fecisti cum servo tuo Domine secundum verbum tuum
66 Teach me goodness and discipline and knowledge; for I have believed thy commandments.

priusquam humiliarer ego deliqui propterea eloquium tuum custodivi
68 Thou art good; and in thy goodness teach me thy justifications.
bonus es tu et in bonitate tua doce me iustificationes tuas
69 The iniquity of the proud hath been multiplied over me: but I will seek thy commandments with my whole heart.
multiplicata est super me iniquitas superborum ego autem in toto corde scrutabor mandata tua
70 Their heart is curdled like milk: but I have meditated on thy law.
coagulatum est sicut lac cor eorum ego vero legem tuam meditatus sum

bonum mihi quia humiliasti me ut discam iustificationes tuas
72 The law of thy mouth is good to me, above thousands of gold and silver.
bonum mihi lex oris tui super milia auri et argenti

81 CAPH. My soul hath fainted after thy salvation: and in thy word I have very much hoped.
caf defecit in salutare tuum anima mea in verbum tuum supersperavi
82 My eyes have failed for thy word, saying: When wilt thou comfort me?
defecerunt oculi mei in eloquium tuum dicentes quando consolaberis me
83 For I am become like a bottle in the frost: I have not forgotten thy justifications.
quia factus sum sicut uter in pruina iustificationes tuas non sum oblitus
84 How many are the days of thy servant: when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
quot sunt dies servo tuo quando facies de persequentibus me iudicium
85 The wicked have told me fables: but not as thy law.

lamed in aeternum Domine verbum tuum permanet in caelo
90 Thy truth unto all generations: thou hast founded the earth, and it continueth.
in generationem et generationem veritas tua fundasti terram et permanet
91 By thy ordinance the day goeth on: for all things serve thee.
ordinatione tua perseverat dies quoniam omnia serviunt tibi
92 Unless thy law had been my (meditation) I had then perhaps perished in my abjection.
nisi quod lex tua meditatio mea est tunc forte perissem in humilitate mea
93 Thy justifications I will never forget: for by them thou hast given me life.
in aeternum non obliviscar iustificationes tuas quia in ipsis vivificasti me

103 How sweet are thy words to my palate! more than honey to my mouth.
quam dulcia faucibus meis eloquia tua super mel ori meo
104 By thy commandments I have had understanding: therefore have I hated every way of iniquity.

adiuva me et salvus ero et meditabor in iustificationibus tuis semper
118 Thou hast despised all them that fall off from thy judgments; for their thought is unjust.
sprevisti omnes discedentes a iustitiis tuis quia iniusta cogitatio eorum
119 I have accounted all the sinners of the earth prevaricators: therefore have I loved thy testimonies.
praevaricantes reputavi omnes peccatores terrae ideo dilexi testimonia tua
120 Pierce thou my flesh with thy fear: for I am afraid of thy judgments.
confige timore tuo carnes meas a iudiciis enim tuis timui

fac cum servo tuo secundum misericordiam tuam et iustificationes tuas doce me

servus tuus sum ego da mihi intellectum et sciam testimonia tua
126 It is time, O Lord, to do: they have dissipated thy law.
tempus faciendi Domino dissipaverunt legem tuam
127 Therefore have I loved thy commandments above gold and the topaz.
ideo dilexi mandata tua super aurum et topazion
128 Therefore was I directed to all thy commandments: I have hated all wicked ways.

148 My eyes to thee have prevented the morning: that I might meditate on thy words.
praevenerunt oculi mei ad diluculum ut meditarer eloquia tua
149 Hear thou my voice, O Lord, according to thy mercy: and quicken me according to thy mercy.
vocem meam audi secundum misericordiam tuam Domine secundum iudicium tuum vivifica me
