< Psalms 119 >
1 ALEPH. Happy are they whose way is perfect, who walk in the law of the Lord.
ALEPH. Blessed are those that are vpright in their way, and walke in the Lawe of the Lord.
2 Happy are they who keep his testimonies, that seek him with all their heart.
Blessed are they that keepe his testimonies, and seeke him with their whole heart.
3 They also commit no injustice; in his ways do they walk.
Surely they woorke none iniquitie, but walke in his waies.
4 Thou thyself hast commanded us thy precepts, that we might keep [them] diligently.
Thou hast commanded to keepe thy precepts diligently.
5 Oh that my ways were firmly directed to observe thy statutes!
Oh that my waies were directed to keepe thy statutes!
6 Then would I not be made ashamed, while I look at all thy commandments.
Then should I not be confounded, when I haue respect vnto all thy commandements.
7 I will thank thee with uprightness of heart, when I learn thy righteous ordinances.
I will praise thee with an vpright heart, when I shall learne the iudgements of thy righteousnesse.
8 Thy statutes will I observe: oh forsake me not too greatly.
I will keepe thy statutes: forsake mee not ouerlong.
9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a youth keep his way pure? by guarding it according to thy word.
BETH. Wherewith shall a yong man redresse his waie? in taking heede thereto according to thy woorde.
10 With all my heart have I sought thee: oh let me not wander astray from thy commandments.
With my whole heart haue I sought thee: let me not wander from thy commandements.
11 In my heart have I treasured up thy saying, in order that I may not sin against thee.
I haue hid thy promise in mine heart, that I might not sinne against thee.
12 Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes.
Blessed art thou, O Lord: teache mee thy statutes.

With my lippes haue I declared all the iudgements of thy mouth.
14 On the way of thy testimonies have I been glad, as over all wealth.
I haue had as great delight in the way of thy testimonies, as in all riches.
15 On thy precepts will I meditate, and direct my look unto thy paths.

Open mine eies, that I may see the wonders of thy Lawe.
19 A stranger am I on the earth: hide not from me thy commandments.
I am a stranger vpon earth: hide not thy commandements from me.
20 My soul is broken from longing for thy ordinances at all times.
Mine heart breaketh for the desire to thy iudgements alway.
21 Thou hast rebuked the accursed proud, who go erringly astray from thy commandments.
Thou hast destroied the proud: cursed are they that doe erre from thy commandements.
22 Roll away from me reproach and contempt; for thy testimonies have I kept.
Remoue from mee shame and contempt: for I haue kept thy testimonies.
23 Although even princes should sit and speak against me, thy servant would still meditate on thy statutes.
Princes also did sit, and speake against me: but thy seruant did meditate in thy statutes.

Also thy testimonies are my delite, and my counsellers.

42 Then shall I have a word to answer the one that reproacheth me; for I trust in thy word.
So shall I make answere vnto my blasphemers: for I trust in thy woorde.
43 And snatch not the word of truth out of my mouth too greatly; for I wait for thy ordinances.
And take not the woorde of trueth vtterly out of my mouth: for I waite for thy iudgements.
44 So shall I observe thy law continually for ever and ever.
