Psalms 119
1 [ALEPH] O the blessedness of those perfect in the way, They are walking in the Law of YHWH,
| طُوبَى لِلْكَامِلِينَ طَرِيقًا، ٱلسَّالِكِينَ فِي شَرِيعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١ |
2 O the blessedness of those keeping His testimonies, They seek Him with the whole heart.
| طُوبَى لِحَافِظِي شَهَادَاتِهِ. مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ يَطْلُبُونَهُ. | ٢ |
3 Indeed, they have not done iniquity, They have walked in His ways.
| أَيْضًا لَا يَرْتَكِبُونَ إِثْمًا. فِي طُرُقِهِ يَسْلُكُونَ. | ٣ |
4 You have commanded us to diligently keep Your precepts,
| أَنْتَ أَوْصَيْتَ بِوَصَايَاكَ أَنْ تُحْفَظَ تَمَامًا. | ٤ |
5 O that my ways were prepared to keep Your statutes,
| لَيْتَ طُرُقِي تُثَبَّتُ فِي حِفْظِ فَرَائِضِكَ. | ٥ |
6 Then I am not ashamed In my looking to all Your commands.
| حِينَئِذٍ لَا أَخْزَى إِذَا نَظَرْتُ إِلَى كُلِّ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٦ |
7 I confess You with uprightness of heart, In my learning the judgments of Your righteousness.
| أَحْمَدُكَ بِٱسْتِقَامَةِ قَلْبٍ عِنْدَ تَعَلُّمِي أَحْكَامَ عَدْلِكَ. | ٧ |
8 I keep Your statutes, do not utterly leave me!
| وَصَايَاكَ أَحْفَظُ. لَا تَتْرُكْنِي إِلَى ٱلْغَايَةِ. | ٨ |
9 [BETH] With what does a young man purify his path? To observe—according to Your word.
| بِمَ يُزَكِّي ٱلشَّابُّ طَرِيقَهُ؟ بِحِفْظِهِ إِيَّاهُ حَسَبَ كَلَامِكَ. | ٩ |
10 I have sought You with all my heart, Do not let me err from Your commands.
| بِكُلِّ قَلْبِي طَلَبْتُكَ. لَا تُضِلَّنِي عَنْ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٠ |
11 I have hid Your saying in my heart, That I do not sin before You.
| خَبَأْتُ كَلَامَكَ فِي قَلْبِي لِكَيْلَا أُخْطِئَ إِلَيْكَ. | ١١ |
12 Blessed [are] You, O YHWH, teach me Your statutes.
| مُبَارَكٌ أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ. عَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٢ |
13 With my lips I have recounted All the judgments of Your mouth.
| بِشَفَتَيَّ حَسَبْتُ كُلَّ أَحْكَامِ فَمِكَ. | ١٣ |
14 I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, As over all wealth.
| بِطَرِيقِ شَهَادَاتِكَ فَرِحْتُ كَمَا عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْغِنَى. | ١٤ |
15 I meditate on Your precepts, And I attentively behold Your paths.
| بِوَصَايَاكَ أَلْهَجُ، وَأُلَاحِظُ سُبُلَكَ. | ١٥ |
16 I delight myself in Your statutes, I do not forget Your word.
| بِفَرَائِضِكَ أَتَلَذَّذُ. لَا أَنْسَى كَلَامَكَ. | ١٦ |
17 [GIMEL] Confer benefits on Your servant, I live, and I keep Your word.
| أَحْسِنْ إِلَى عَبْدِكَ، فَأَحْيَا وَأَحْفَظَ أَمْرَكَ. | ١٧ |
18 Uncover my eyes, and I behold wonders out of Your law.
| ٱكْشِفْ عَنْ عَيْنَيَّ فَأَرَى عَجَائِبَ مِنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ. | ١٨ |
19 I [am] a sojourner on earth, Do not hide Your commands from me.
| غَرِيبٌ أَنَا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. لَا تُخْفِ عَنِّي وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٩ |
20 My soul has broken for desire To Your judgments at all times.
| ٱنْسَحَقَتْ نَفْسِي شَوْقًا إِلَى أَحْكَامِكَ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ. | ٢٠ |
21 You have rebuked the cursed proud, Who are erring from Your commands.
| ٱنْتَهَرْتَ ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ ٱلْمَلَاعِينَ ٱلضَّالِّينَ عَنْ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٢١ |
22 Remove reproach and contempt from me, For I have kept Your testimonies.
| دَحْرِجْ عَنِّي ٱلْعَارَ وَٱلْإِهَانَةَ، لِأَنِّي حَفِظْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ٢٢ |
23 Princes also sat—they spoke against me, Your servant meditates on Your statutes,
| جَلَسَ أَيْضًا رُؤَسَاءُ، تَقَاوَلُوا عَلَيَّ. أَمَّا عَبْدُكَ فَيُنَاجِي بِفَرَائِضِكَ. | ٢٣ |
24 Your testimonies [are] also my delight, The men of my counsel!
| أَيْضًا شَهَادَاتُكَ هِيَ لَذَّتِي، أَهْلُ مَشُورَتِي. | ٢٤ |
25 [DALETH] My soul has cleaved to the dust, Quicken me according to Your word.
| لَصِقَتْ بِٱلتُّرَابِ نَفْسِي، فَأَحْيِنِي حَسَبَ كَلِمَتِكَ. | ٢٥ |
26 I have recounted my ways, And You answer me, teach me Your statutes,
| قَدْ صَرَّحْتُ بِطُرُقِي فَٱسْتَجَبْتَ لِي. عَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٢٦ |
27 Cause me to understand the way of Your precepts, And I meditate on Your wonders.
| طَرِيقَ وَصَايَاكَ فَهِّمْنِي، فَأُنَاجِيَ بِعَجَائِبِكَ. | ٢٧ |
28 My soul has dropped from affliction, Establish me according to Your word.
| قَطَرَتْ نَفْسِي مِنَ ٱلْحُزْنِ. أَقِمْنِي حَسَبَ كَلَامِكَ. | ٢٨ |
29 Turn aside the way of falsehood from me And favor me with Your law.
| طَرِيقَ ٱلْكَذِبِ أَبْعِدْ عَنِّي، وَبِشَرِيعَتِكَ ٱرْحَمْنِي. | ٢٩ |
30 I have chosen the way of faithfulness, I have compared Your judgments,
| ٱخْتَرْتُ طَرِيقَ ٱلْحَقِّ. جَعَلْتُ أَحْكَامَكَ قُدَّامِي. | ٣٠ |
31 I have adhered to Your testimonies, O YHWH, do not put me to shame.
| لَصِقْتُ بِشَهَادَاتِكَ. يَارَبُّ، لَا تُخْزِنِي. | ٣١ |
32 I run the way of Your commands, For You enlarge my heart!
| فِي طَرِيقِ وَصَايَاكَ أَجْرِي، لِأَنَّكَ تُرَحِّبُ قَلْبِي. | ٣٢ |
33 [HE] Show me, O YHWH, the way of Your statutes, And I keep it—[to] the end.
| عَلِّمْنِي يَارَبُّ طَرِيقَ فَرَائِضِكَ، فَأَحْفَظَهَا إِلَى ٱلنِّهَايَةِ. | ٣٣ |
34 Cause me to understand, and I keep Your law, And observe it with the whole heart.
| فَهِّمْنِي فَأُلَاحِظَ شَرِيعَتَكَ، وَأَحْفَظَهَا بِكُلِّ قَلْبِي. | ٣٤ |
35 Cause me to tread in the path of Your commands, For I have delighted in it.
| دَرِّبْنِي فِي سَبِيلِ وَصَايَاكَ، لِأَنِّي بِهِ سُرِرْتُ. | ٣٥ |
36 Incline my heart to Your testimonies, And not to dishonest gain.
| أَمِلْ قَلْبِي إِلَى شَهَادَاتِكَ، لَا إِلَى ٱلْمَكْسَبِ. | ٣٦ |
37 Remove my eyes from seeing vanity, Quicken me in Your way.
| حَوِّلْ عَيْنَيَّ عَنِ ٱلنَّظَرِ إِلَى ٱلْبَاطِلِ. فِي طَرِيقِكَ أَحْيِنِي. | ٣٧ |
38 Establish Your saying to Your servant, That [is] concerning Your fear.
| أَقِمْ لِعَبْدِكَ قَوْلَكَ ٱلَّذِي لِمُتَّقِيكَ. | ٣٨ |
39 Remove my reproach that I have feared, For Your judgments [are] good.
| أَزِلْ عَارِي ٱلَّذِي حَذِرْتُ مِنْهُ، لِأَنَّ أَحْكَامَكَ طَيِّبَةٌ. | ٣٩ |
40 Behold, I have longed for Your precepts, Quicken me in Your righteousness,
| هَأَنَذَا قَدِ ٱشْتَهَيْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. بِعَدْلِكَ أَحْيِنِي. | ٤٠ |
41 [WAW] And Your kindness meets me, O YHWH, Your salvation according to Your saying.
| لِتَأْتِنِي رَحْمَتُكَ يَارَبُّ، خَلَاصُكَ حَسَبَ قَوْلِكَ، | ٤١ |
42 And I answer him who is reproaching me a word, For I have trusted in Your word.
| فَأُجَاوِبَ مُعَيِّرِي كَلِمَةً، لِأَنِّي ٱتَّكَلْتُ عَلَى كَلَامِكَ. | ٤٢ |
43 And You do not utterly take away The word of truth from my mouth, Because I have hoped for Your judgment.
| وَلَا تَنْزِعْ مِنْ فَمِي كَلَامَ ٱلْحَقِّ كُلَّ ٱلنَّزْعِ، لِأَنِّي ٱنْتَظَرْتُ أَحْكَامَكَ. | ٤٣ |
44 And I keep Your law continually, For all time and forever.
| فَأَحْفَظَ شَرِيعَتَكَ دَائِمًا، إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ، | ٤٤ |
45 And I habitually walk in a broad place, For I have sought Your precepts.
| وَأَتَمَشَّى فِي رَحْبٍ، لِأَنِّي طَلَبْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٤٥ |
46 And I speak of Your testimonies before kings, And I am not ashamed.
| وَأَتَكَلَّمُ بِشَهَادَاتِكَ قُدَّامَ مُلُوكٍ وَلَا أَخْزَى، | ٤٦ |
47 And I delight myself in Your commands, That I have loved,
| وَأَتَلَذَّذُ بِوَصَايَاكَ ٱلَّتِي أَحْبَبْتُ. | ٤٧ |
48 And I lift up my hands to Your commands, That I have loved, And I meditate on Your statutes!
| وَأَرْفَعُ يَدَيَّ إِلَى وَصَايَاكَ ٱلَّتِي وَدِدْتُ، وَأُنَاجِي بِفَرَائِضِكَ. | ٤٨ |
49 [ZAYIN] Remember the word to Your servant, On which You have caused me to hope.
| اُذْكُرْ لِعَبْدِكَ ٱلْقَوْلَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلْتَنِي أَنْتَظِرُهُ. | ٤٩ |
50 This [is] my comfort in my affliction, That Your saying has quickened me.
| هَذِهِ هِيَ تَعْزِيَتِي فِي مَذَلَّتِي، لِأَنَّ قَوْلَكَ أَحْيَانِي. | ٥٠ |
51 The proud have utterly scorned me, I have not turned aside from Your law.
| ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ ٱسْتَهْزَأُوا بِي إِلَى ٱلْغَايَةِ. عَنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ لَمْ أَمِلْ. | ٥١ |
52 I remembered Your judgments of old, O YHWH, And I comfort myself.
| تَذَكَّرْتُ أَحْكَامَكَ مُنْذُ ٱلدَّهْرِ يَارَبُّ، فَتَعَزَّيْتُ. | ٥٢ |
53 Horror has seized me, Because of the wicked forsaking Your law.
| ٱلْحَمِيَّةُ أَخَذَتْنِي بِسَبَبِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ تَارِكِي شَرِيعَتِكَ. | ٥٣ |
54 Your statutes have been songs to me, In the house of my sojournings.
| تَرْنِيمَاتٍ صَارَتْ لِي فَرَائِضُكَ فِي بَيْتِ غُرْبَتِي. | ٥٤ |
55 I have remembered Your Name in the night, O YHWH, And I keep Your law.
| ذَكَرْتُ فِي ٱللَّيْلِ ٱسْمَكَ يَارَبُّ، وَحَفِظْتُ شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ٥٥ |
56 This has been to me, That I have kept Your precepts!
| هَذَا صَارَ لِي، لِأَنِّي حَفِظْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٥٦ |
57 [HETH] YHWH [is] my portion; I have said I would keep Your words,
| نَصِيبِي ٱلرَّبُّ، قُلْتُ لِحِفْظِ كَلَامِكَ. | ٥٧ |
58 I appeased Your face with the whole heart, Favor me according to Your saying.
| تَرَضَّيْتُ وَجْهَكَ بِكُلِّ قَلْبِي. ٱرْحَمْنِي حَسَبَ قَوْلِكَ. | ٥٨ |
59 I have reckoned my ways, And turn back my feet to Your testimonies.
| تَفَكَّرْتُ فِي طُرُقِي، وَرَدَدْتُ قَدَمَيَّ إِلَى شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ٥٩ |
60 I have made haste, And did not delay, to keep Your commands.
| أَسْرَعْتُ وَلَمْ أَتَوَانَ لِحِفْظِ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٠ |
61 Cords of the wicked have surrounded me, I have not forgotten Your law.
| حِبَالُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ ٱلْتَفَّتْ عَلَيَّ. أَمَّا شَرِيعَتُكَ فَلَمْ أَنْسَهَا. | ٦١ |
62 At midnight I rise to give thanks to You, For the judgments of Your righteousness.
| فِي مُنْتَصَفِ ٱللَّيْلِ أَقُومُ لِأَحْمَدَكَ عَلَى أَحْكَامِ بِرِّكَ. | ٦٢ |
63 I [am] a companion to all who fear You, And to those keeping Your precepts.
| رَفِيقٌ أَنَا لِكُلِّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَكَ وَلِحَافِظِي وَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٣ |
64 Of Your kindness, O YHWH, the earth is full, Teach me Your statutes!
| رَحْمَتُكَ يَارَبُّ قَدْ مَلَأَتِ ٱلْأَرْضَ. عَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٦٤ |
65 [TETH] You did good with Your servant, O YHWH, According to Your word.
| خَيْرًا صَنَعْتَ مَعَ عَبْدِكَ يَارَبُّ حَسَبَ كَلَامِكَ. | ٦٥ |
66 Teach me the goodness of reason and knowledge, For I have believed in Your commands.
| ذَوْقًا صَالِحًا وَمَعْرِفَةً عَلِّمْنِي، لِأَنِّي بِوَصَايَاكَ آمَنْتُ. | ٦٦ |
67 Before I am afflicted, I am erring, And now I have kept Your saying.
| قَبْلَ أَنْ أُذَلَّلَ أَنَا ضَلَلْتُ، أَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَحَفِظْتُ قَوْلَكَ. | ٦٧ |
68 You [are] good, and doing good, Teach me Your statutes.
| صَالِحٌ أَنْتَ وَمُحْسِنٌ. عَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٦٨ |
69 The proud have forged falsehood against me, I keep Your precepts with the whole heart.
| ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ قَدْ لَفَّقُوا عَلَيَّ كَذِبًا، أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِكُلِّ قَلْبِي أَحْفَظُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٩ |
70 Their heart has been thick as fat, I have delighted in Your law.
| سَمِنَ مِثْلَ ٱلشَّحْمِ قَلْبُهُمْ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِشَرِيعَتِكَ أَتَلَذَّذُ. | ٧٠ |
71 [It is] good for me that I have been afflicted, That I might learn Your statutes.
| خَيْرٌ لِي أَنِّي تَذَلَّلْتُ لِكَيْ أَتَعَلَّمَ فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٧١ |
72 The Law of Your mouth [is] better to me Than thousands of gold and silver!
| شَرِيعَةُ فَمِكَ خَيْرٌ لِي مِنْ أُلُوفِ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ. | ٧٢ |
73 [YOD] Your hands made me and establish me, Cause me to understand, and I learn Your commands.
| يَدَاكَ صَنَعَتَانِي وَأَنْشَأَتَانِي. فَهِّمْنِي فَأَتَعَلَّمَ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٧٣ |
74 Those fearing You see me and rejoice, Because I have hoped for Your word.
| مُتَّقُوكَ يَرَوْنَنِي فَيَفْرَحُونَ، لِأَنِّي ٱنْتَظَرْتُ كَلَامَكَ. | ٧٤ |
75 I have known, O YHWH, That Your judgments [are] righteous, And [in] faithfulness You have afflicted me.
| قَدْ عَلِمْتُ يَارَبُّ أَنَّ أَحْكَامَكَ عَدْلٌ، وَبِٱلْحَقِّ أَذْلَلْتَنِي. | ٧٥ |
76 Please let Your kindness be to comfort me, According to Your saying to Your servant.
| فَلْتَصِرْ رَحْمَتُكَ لِتَعْزِيَتِي، حَسَبَ قَوْلِكَ لِعَبْدِكَ. | ٧٦ |
77 Your mercies meet me, and I live, For Your law [is] my delight.
| لِتَأْتِنِي مَرَاحِمُكَ فَأَحْيَا، لِأَنَّ شَرِيعَتَكَ هِيَ لَذَّتِي. | ٧٧ |
78 The proud are ashamed, For [with] falsehood they dealt perversely with me. I meditate on Your precepts.
| لِيَخْزَ ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ لِأَنَّهُمْ زُورًا ٱفْتَرَوْا عَلَيَّ. أَمَّا أَنَا فَأُنَاجِي بِوَصَايَاكَ. | ٧٨ |
79 Those fearing You turn back to me, And those knowing Your testimonies.
| لِيَرْجِعْ إِلَيَّ مُتَّقُوكَ وَعَارِفُو شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ٧٩ |
80 My heart is perfect in Your statutes, So that I am not ashamed.
| لِيَكُنْ قَلْبِي كَامِلًا فِي فَرَائِضِكَ لِكَيْلَا أَخْزَى. | ٨٠ |
81 [KAPH] My soul has been consumed for Your salvation, I have hoped for Your word.
| تَاقَتْ نَفْسِي إِلَى خَلَاصِكَ. كَلَامَكَ ٱنْتَظَرْتُ. | ٨١ |
82 My eyes have been consumed for Your word, Saying, “When does it comfort me?”
| كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ مِنَ ٱلنَّظَرِ إِلَى قَوْلِكَ، فَأَقُولُ: «مَتَى تُعَزِّينِي؟». | ٨٢ |
83 For I have been as a bottle in smoke, I have not forgotten Your statutes.
| لِأَنِّي قَدْ صِرْتُ كَزِقٍّ فِي ٱلدُّخَانِ، أَمَّا فَرَائِضُكَ فَلَمْ أَنْسَهَا. | ٨٣ |
84 How many [are] the days of Your servant? When do You execute judgment Against my pursuers?
| كَمْ هِيَ أَيَّامُ عَبْدِكَ؟ مَتَى تُجْرِي حُكْمًا عَلَى مُضْطَهِدِيَّ؟ | ٨٤ |
85 The proud have dug pits for me, That [are] not according to Your law.
| ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ قَدْ كَرَوْا لِي حَفَائِرَ. ذَلِكَ لَيْسَ حَسَبَ شَرِيعَتِكَ. | ٨٥ |
86 All Your commands [are] faithfulness, They have pursued me [with] falsehood, Help me.
| كُلُّ وَصَايَاكَ أَمَانَةٌ. زُورًا يَضْطَهِدُونَنِي. أَعِنِّي. | ٨٦ |
87 They have almost consumed me on earth, And I have not forsaken Your precepts.
| لَوْلَا قَلِيلٌ لَأَفْنَوْنِي مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَمْ أَتْرُكْ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٨٧ |
88 Quicken me according to Your kindness, And I keep the Testimony of Your mouth!
| حَسَبَ رَحْمَتِكَ أَحْيِنِي، فَأَحْفَظَ شَهَادَاتِ فَمِكَ. | ٨٨ |
89 [LAMED] For all time, O YHWH, Your word is set up in the heavens.
| إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ يَارَبُّ كَلِمَتُكَ مُثَبَّتَةٌ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. | ٨٩ |
90 Your faithfulness from generation to generation, You established earth, and it stands.
| إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ أَمَانَتُكَ. أَسَّسْتَ ٱلْأَرْضَ فَثَبَتَتْ. | ٩٠ |
91 According to Your ordinances They have stood this day, for the whole—Your servants.
| عَلَى أَحْكَامِكَ ثَبَتَتِ ٱلْيَوْمَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْكُلَّ عَبِيدُكَ. | ٩١ |
92 Unless Your law [were] my delights, Then had I perished in my affliction.
| لَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ شَرِيعَتُكَ لَذَّتِي، لَهَلَكْتُ حِينَئِذٍ فِي مَذَلَّتِي. | ٩٢ |
93 I do not forget Your precepts for all time, For You have quickened me by them.
| إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ لَا أَنْسَى وَصَايَاكَ، لِأَنَّكَ بِهَا أَحْيَيْتَنِي. | ٩٣ |
94 I [am] Yours, save me, for I have sought Your precepts.
| لَكَ أَنَا فَخَلِّصْنِي، لِأَنِّي طَلَبْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٩٤ |
95 Your wicked waited for me to destroy me, I understand Your testimonies.
| إِيَّايَ ٱنْتَظَرَ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ لِيُهْلِكُونِي. بِشَهَادَاتِكَ أَفْطُنُ. | ٩٥ |
96 I have seen an end of all perfection, Your command [is] exceedingly broad!
| لِكُلِّ كَمَالٍ رَأَيْتُ حَدًّا، أَمَّا وَصِيَّتُكَ فَوَاسِعَةٌ جِدًّا. | ٩٦ |
97 [MEM] O how I have loved Your law! It [is] my meditation all the day.
| كَمْ أَحْبَبْتُ شَرِيعَتَكَ! ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ هِيَ لَهَجِي. | ٩٧ |
98 Your command makes me wiser than my enemies, For it [is] before me for all time.
| وَصِيَّتُكَ جَعَلَتْنِي أَحْكَمَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، لِأَنَّهَا إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ هِيَ لِي. | ٩٨ |
99 I have acted wisely above all my teachers. For Your testimonies [are] my (meditation)
| أَكْثَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ مُعَلِّمِيَّ تَعَقَّلْتُ، لِأَنَّ شَهَادَاتِكَ هِيَ لَهَجِي. | ٩٩ |
100 Above elderly—I understand more, For I have kept Your precepts.
| أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ فَطِنْتُ، لِأَنِّي حَفِظْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٠٠ |
101 I restrained my feet from every evil path, So that I keep Your word.
| مِنْ كُلِّ طَرِيقِ شَرٍّ مَنَعْتُ رِجْلَيَّ، لِكَيْ أَحْفَظَ كَلَامَكَ. | ١٠١ |
102 I did not turn aside from Your judgments, For You have directed me.
| عَنْ أَحْكَامِكَ لَمْ أَمِلْ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَلَّمْتَنِي. | ١٠٢ |
103 How sweet Your saying has been to my palate, Above honey to my mouth.
| مَا أَحْلَى قَوْلَكَ لِحَنَكِي! أَحْلَى مِنَ ٱلْعَسَلِ لِفَمِي. | ١٠٣ |
104 I have understanding from Your precepts, Therefore I have hated every false path!
| مِنْ وَصَايَاكَ أَتَفَطَّنُ، لِذَلِكَ أَبْغَضْتُ كُلَّ طَرِيقِ كَذِبٍ. | ١٠٤ |
105 [NUN] Your word [is] a lamp to my foot, And a light to my path.
| سِرَاجٌ لِرِجْلِي كَلَامُكَ وَنُورٌ لِسَبِيلِي. | ١٠٥ |
106 I have sworn, and I confirm, To keep the judgments of Your righteousness.
| حَلَفْتُ فَأَبِرُّهُ، أَنْ أَحْفَظَ أَحْكَامَ بِرِّكَ. | ١٠٦ |
107 I have been afflicted very much, O YHWH, quicken me, according to Your word.
| تَذَلَّلْتُ إِلَى ٱلْغَايَةِ. يَارَبُّ، أَحْيِنِي حَسَبَ كَلَامِكَ. | ١٠٧ |
108 Please accept [the] free-will offerings of my mouth, O YHWH, And teach me Your judgments.
| ٱرْتَضِ بِمَنْدُوبَاتِ فَمِي يَارَبُّ، وَأَحْكَامَكَ عَلِّمْنِي. | ١٠٨ |
109 My soul [is] in my hand continually, And I have not forgotten Your law.
| نَفْسِي دَائِمًا فِي كَفِّي، أَمَّا شَرِيعَتُكَ فَلَمْ أَنْسَهَا. | ١٠٩ |
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me, And I did not wander from your precepts.
| ٱلْأَشْرَارُ وَضَعُوا لِي فَخًّا، أَمَّا وَصَايَاكَ فَلَمْ أَضِلَّ عَنْهَا. | ١١٠ |
111 I have inherited Your testimonies for all time, For they [are] the joy of my heart.
| وَرِثْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ، لِأَنَّهَا هِيَ بَهْجَةُ قَلْبِي. | ١١١ |
112 I have inclined my heart To do Your statutes, for all time—[to] the end!
| عَطَفْتُ قَلْبِي لِأَصْنَعَ فَرَائِضَكَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ إِلَى ٱلنِّهَايَةِ. | ١١٢ |
113 [SAMEKH] I have hated doubting ones, And I have loved Your law.
| ٱلْمُتَقَلِّبِينَ أَبْغَضْتُ، وَشَرِيعَتَكَ أَحْبَبْتُ. | ١١٣ |
114 You [are] my hiding place and my shield, I have hoped for Your word.
| سِتْرِي وَمِجَنِّي أَنْتَ. كَلَامَكَ ٱنْتَظَرْتُ. | ١١٤ |
115 Turn aside from me, you evildoers, And I keep the commands of my God.
| ٱنْصَرِفُوا عَنِّي أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَشْرَارُ، فَأَحْفَظَ وَصَايَا إِلَهِي. | ١١٥ |
116 Sustain me according to Your saying, And I live, and You do not put me to shame because of my hope.
| ٱعْضُدْنِي حَسَبَ قَوْلِكَ فَأَحْيَا، وَلَا تُخْزِنِي مِنْ رَجَائِي. | ١١٦ |
117 Support me, and I am saved, And I look on Your statutes continually.
| أَسْنِدْنِي فَأَخْلُصَ، وَأُرَاعِيَ فَرَائِضَكَ دَائِمًا. | ١١٧ |
118 You have trodden down All going astray from Your statutes, For their deceit [is] falsehood.
| ٱحْتَقَرْتَ كُلَّ ٱلضَّالِّينَ عَنْ فَرَائِضِكَ، لِأَنَّ مَكْرَهُمْ بَاطِلٌ. | ١١٨ |
119 Dross! You have caused to cease All the wicked of the earth; Therefore I have loved Your testimonies.
| كَزَغَلٍ عَزَلْتَ كُلَّ أَشْرَارِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِذَلِكَ أَحْبَبْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١١٩ |
120 My flesh has trembled from Your fear, And I have been afraid from Your judgments!
| قَدِ ٱقْشَعَرَّ لَحْمِي مِنْ رُعْبِكَ، وَمِنْ أَحْكَامِكَ جَزِعْتُ. | ١٢٠ |
121 [AYIN] I have done judgment and righteousness, Do not leave me to my oppressors.
| أَجْرَيْتُ حُكْمًا وَعَدْلًا. لَا تُسْلِمْنِي إِلَى ظَالِمِيَّ. | ١٢١ |
122 Make Your servant sure for good, Do not let the proud oppress me.
| كُنْ ضَامِنَ عَبْدِكَ لِلْخَيْرِ، لِكَيْلَا يَظْلِمَنِي ٱلْمُسْتَكْبِرُونَ. | ١٢٢ |
123 My eyes have been consumed for Your salvation. And for the saying of Your righteousness.
| كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ ٱشْتِيَاقًا إِلَى خَلَاصِكَ وَإِلَى كَلِمَةِ بِرِّكَ. | ١٢٣ |
124 Do with Your servant according to Your kindness. And teach me Your statutes.
| ٱصْنَعْ مَعَ عَبْدِكَ حَسَبَ رَحْمَتِكَ، وَفَرَائِضَكَ عَلِّمْنِي. | ١٢٤ |
125 I [am] Your servant—cause me to understand, And I know Your testimonies.
| عَبْدُكَ أَنَا. فَهِّمْنِي فَأَعْرِفَ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١٢٥ |
126 Time for YHWH to work! They have made Your law void.
| إِنَّهُ وَقْتُ عَمَلٍ لِلرَّبِّ. قَدْ نَقَضُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٢٦ |
127 Therefore I have loved Your commands Above gold—even fine gold.
| لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَحْبَبْتُ وَصَايَاكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْإِبْرِيزِ. | ١٢٧ |
128 Therefore all my appointments I have declared wholly right, I have hated every path of falsehood!
| لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ حَسِبْتُ كُلَّ وَصَايَاكَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُسْتَقِيمَةً. كُلَّ طَرِيقِ كَذِبٍ أَبْغَضْتُ. | ١٢٨ |
129 [PE] Your testimonies [are] wonderful, Therefore my soul has kept them.
| عَجِيبَةٌ هِيَ شَهَادَاتُكَ، لِذَلِكَ حَفِظَتْهَا نَفْسِي. | ١٢٩ |
130 The opening of Your words enlightens, Instructing the simple.
| فَتْحُ كَلَامِكَ يُنِيرُ، يُعَقِّلُ ٱلْجُهَّالَ. | ١٣٠ |
131 I have opened my mouth, indeed, I pant, For I have longed for Your commands.
| فَغَرْتُ فَمِي وَلَهَثْتُ، لِأَنِّي إِلَى وَصَايَاكَ ٱشْتَقْتُ. | ١٣١ |
132 Look to me, and favor me, As customary to those loving Your Name.
| ٱلْتَفِتْ إِلَيَّ وَٱرْحَمْنِي، كَحَقِّ مُحِبِّي ٱسْمِكَ. | ١٣٢ |
133 Establish my steps by Your saying, And any iniquity does not rule over me.
| ثَبِّتْ خُطُوَاتِي فِي كَلِمَتِكَ، وَلَا يَتَسَلَّطْ عَلَيَّ إِثْمٌ. | ١٣٣ |
134 Ransom me from the oppression of man, And I observe Your precepts,
| ٱفْدِنِي مِنْ ظُلْمِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، فَأَحْفَظَ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٣٤ |
135 Cause Your face to shine on Your servant, And teach me Your statutes.
| أَضِئْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَى عَبْدِكَ، وَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٣٥ |
136 Streams of waters have come down my eyes, Because they have not kept Your law!
| جَدَاوِلُ مِيَاهٍ جَرَتْ مِنْ عَيْنَيَّ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَحْفَظُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٣٦ |
137 [TSADE] You [are] righteous, O YHWH, And Your judgments [are] upright.
| بَارٌّ أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ، وَأَحْكَامُكَ مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ. | ١٣٧ |
138 You have appointed Your testimonies, Righteous and exceedingly faithful,
| عَدْلًا أَمَرْتَ بِشَهَادَاتِكَ، وَحَقًّا إِلَى ٱلْغَايَةِ. | ١٣٨ |
139 My zeal has cut me off, For my adversaries forgot Your words.
| أَهْلَكَتْنِي غَيْرَتِي، لِأَنَّ أَعْدَائِي نَسُوا كَلَامَكَ. | ١٣٩ |
140 Your saying [is] tried exceedingly, And Your servant has loved it.
| كَلِمَتُكَ مُمَحَّصَةٌ جِدًّا، وَعَبْدُكَ أَحَبَّهَا. | ١٤٠ |
141 I [am] small, and despised, I have not forgotten Your precepts.
| صَغِيرٌ أَنَا وَحَقِيرٌ، أَمَّا وَصَايَاكَ فَلَمْ أَنْسَهَا. | ١٤١ |
142 Your righteousness [is] righteousness for all time, And Your law [is] truth.
| عَدْلُكَ عَدْلٌ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ، وَشَرِيعَتُكَ حَقٌّ. | ١٤٢ |
143 Adversity and distress have found me, Your commands [are] my delights.
| ضِيْقٌ وَشِدَّةٌ أَصَابَانِي، أَمَّا وَصَايَاكَ فَهِيَ لَذَّاتِي. | ١٤٣ |
144 The righteousness of Your testimonies [Is] to cause me to understand, and I live!
| عَادِلَةٌ شَهَادَاتُكَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. فَهِّمْنِي فَأَحْيَا. | ١٤٤ |
145 [QOF] I have called with the whole heart, Answer me, O YHWH, I keep Your statutes,
| صَرَخْتُ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِي. ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي يَارَبُّ. فَرَائِضَكَ أَحْفَظُ. | ١٤٥ |
146 I have called You, save me, And I keep Your testimonies.
| دَعَوْتُكَ. خَلِّصْنِي، فَأَحْفَظَ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١٤٦ |
147 I have gone forward in the dawn, and I cry, I have hoped for Your word.
| تَقَدَّمْتُ فِي ٱلصُّبْحِ وَصَرَخْتُ. كَلَامَكَ ٱنْتَظَرْتُ. | ١٤٧ |
148 My eyes have gone before the watches, To meditate on Your saying.
| تَقَدَّمَتْ عَيْنَايَ ٱلْهُزُعَ، لِكَيْ أَلْهَجَ بِأَقْوَالِكَ. | ١٤٨ |
149 Hear my voice, according to Your kindness, YHWH, quicken me according to Your judgment.
| صَوْتِيَ ٱسْتَمِعْ حَسَبَ رَحْمَتِكَ. يَارَبُّ، حَسَبَ أَحْكَامِكَ أَحْيِنِي. | ١٤٩ |
150 My wicked pursuers have been near, They have been far off from Your law.
| ٱقْتَرَبَ ٱلتَّابِعُونَ ٱلرَّذِيلَةَ. عَنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ بَعُدُوا. | ١٥٠ |
151 You [are] near, O YHWH, And all Your commands [are] truth.
| قَرِيبٌ أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ، وَكُلُّ وَصَايَاكَ حَقٌّ. | ١٥١ |
152 I have known Your testimonies of old, That You have founded them for all time!
| مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ عَرَفْتُ مِنْ شَهَادَاتِكَ أَنَّكَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ أَسَّسْتَهَا. | ١٥٢ |
153 [RESH] See my affliction, and deliver me, For I have not forgotten Your law.
| اُنْظُرْ إِلَى ذُلِّي وَأَنْقِذْنِي، لِأَنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٥٣ |
154 Plead my plea, and redeem me, Quicken me according to Your saying.
| أَحْسِنْ دَعْوَايَ. | ١٥٤ |
155 Salvation [is] far from the wicked, For they have not sought Your statutes.
| ٱلْخَلَاصُ بَعِيدٌ عَنِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَلْتَمِسُوا فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٥٥ |
156 Your mercies [are] many, O YHWH, Quicken me according to Your judgments.
| كَثِيرَةٌ هِيَ مَرَاحِمُكَ يَارَبُّ. حَسَبَ أَحْكَامِكَ أَحْيِنِي. | ١٥٦ |
157 My pursuers and adversaries are many, I have not turned aside from Your testimonies.
| كَثِيرُونَ مُضْطَهِدِيَّ وَمُضَايِقِيَّ، أَمَّا شَهَادَاتُكَ فَلَمْ أَمِلْ عَنْهَا. | ١٥٧ |
158 I have seen treacherous ones, And grieve myself, Because they have not kept Your saying.
| رَأَيْتُ ٱلْغَادِرِينَ وَمَقَتُّ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَحْفَظُوا كَلِمَتَكَ. | ١٥٨ |
159 See, for I have loved Your precepts, YHWH, quicken me according to Your kindness.
| ٱنْظُرْ أَنِّي أَحْبَبْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. يَارَبُّ، حَسَبَ رَحْمَتِكَ أَحْيِنِي. | ١٥٩ |
160 The sum of Your word [is] truth, And every judgment of Your righteousness [is] for all time!
| رَأْسُ كَلَامِكَ حَقٌّ، وَإِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ كُلُّ أَحْكَامِ عَدْلِكَ. | ١٦٠ |
161 [SHIN] Princes have pursued me without cause, And my heart was afraid because of Your words.
| رُؤَسَاءُ ٱضْطَهَدُونِي بِلَا سَبَبٍ، وَمِنْ كَلَامِكَ جَزِعَ قَلْبِي. | ١٦١ |
162 I rejoice concerning Your saying, As one finding abundant spoil.
| أَبْتَهِجُ أَنَا بِكَلَامِكَ كَمَنْ وَجَدَ غَنِيمَةً وَافِرَةً. | ١٦٢ |
163 I have hated falsehood, indeed I detest [it], I have loved Your law.
| أَبْغَضْتُ ٱلْكَذِبَ وَكَرِهْتُهُ، أَمَّا شَرِيعَتُكَ فَأَحْبَبْتُهَا. | ١٦٣ |
164 Seven [times] in a day I have praised You, Because of the judgments of Your righteousness.
| سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ سَبَّحْتُكَ عَلَى أَحْكَامِ عَدْلِكَ. | ١٦٤ |
165 Those loving Your law have abundant peace, And they have no stumbling-block.
| سَلَامَةٌ جَزِيلَةٌ لِمُحِبِّي شَرِيعَتِكَ، وَلَيْسَ لَهُمْ مَعْثَرَةٌ. | ١٦٥ |
166 I have waited for Your salvation, O YHWH, And I have done Your commands.
| رَجَوْتُ خَلَاصَكَ يَارَبُّ، وَوَصَايَاكَ عَمِلْتُ. | ١٦٦ |
167 My soul has kept Your testimonies, And I love them exceedingly.
| حَفِظَتْ نَفْسِي شَهَادَاتِكَ، وَأُحِبُّهَا جِدًّا. | ١٦٧ |
168 I have kept Your precepts and Your testimonies, For all my ways are before You!
| حَفِظْتُ وَصَايَاكَ وَشَهَادَاتِكَ، لِأَنَّ كُلَّ طُرُقِي أَمَامَكَ. | ١٦٨ |
169 [TAW] My loud cry comes near before You, O YHWH; Cause me to understand according to Your word.
| لِيَبْلُغْ صُرَاخِي إِلَيْكَ يَارَبُّ. حَسَبَ كَلَامِكَ فَهِّمْنِي. | ١٦٩ |
170 My supplication comes in before You, Deliver me according to Your saying.
| لِتَدْخُلْ طِلْبَتِي إِلَى حَضْرَتِكَ. كَكَلِمَتِكَ نَجِّنِي. | ١٧٠ |
171 My lips utter praise, For You teach me Your statutes.
| تُنَبِّعُ شَفَتَايَ تَسْبِيحًا إِذَا عَلَّمْتَنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٧١ |
172 My tongue sings of Your saying, For all Your commands [are] righteous.
| يُغَنِّي لِسَانِي بِأَقْوَالِكَ، لِأَنَّ كُلَّ وَصَايَاكَ عَدْلٌ. | ١٧٢ |
173 Your hand is for a help to me, For I have chosen Your commands.
| لِتَكُنْ يَدُكَ لِمَعُونَتِي، لِأَنَّنِي ٱخْتَرْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٧٣ |
174 I have longed for Your salvation, O YHWH, And Your law [is] my delight.
| ٱشْتَقْتُ إِلَى خَلَاصِكَ يَارَبُّ، وَشَرِيعَتُكَ هِيَ لَذَّتِي. | ١٧٤ |
175 My soul lives, and it praises You, And Your judgments help me.
| لِتَحْيَ نَفْسِي وَتُسَبِّحَكَ، وَأَحْكَامُكَ لِتُعِنِّي. | ١٧٥ |
176 I wandered as a lost sheep, [so] seek Your servant, For I have not forgotten Your precepts!
| ضَلَلْتُ، كَشَاةٍ ضَالَّةٍ. ٱطْلُبْ عَبْدَكَ، لِأَنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٧٦ |
