Psalms 119
1 ALEPH. Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of YHWH.
Alleluia. ALEPH. Beati immaculati in via: qui ambulant in lege Domini.
2 Blessed are those who keep his decrees, who seek him with their whole heart.
Beati, qui scrutantur testimonia eius: in toto corde exquirunt eum.
3 Yes, they do nothing wrong. They walk in his ways.
Non enim qui operantur iniquitatem, in viis eius ambulaverunt.
4 You have commanded your precepts, that we should fully obey them.
Tu mandasti mandata tua custodiri nimis.
5 Oh that my ways were steadfast to obey your statutes.
Utinam dirigantur viæ meæ, ad custodiendas iustificationes tuas.
6 Then I wouldn't be disappointed, when I consider all of your commandments.
Tunc non confundar, cum perspexero in omnibus mandatis tuis.
7 I will give thanks to you with uprightness of heart, when I learn your righteous judgments.
Confitebor tibi in directione cordis: in eo quod didici iudicia iustitiæ tuæ.
8 I will observe your statutes. Do not utterly forsake me.
Iustificationes tuas custodiam: non me derelinquas usquequaque.
9 BET. How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.

10 With my whole heart, I have sought you. Do not let me wander from your commandments.
In toto corde meo exquisivi te: ne repellas me a mandatis tuis.
11 In my heart I have hidden your word, that I might not sin against you.
In corde meo abscondi eloquia tua: ut non peccem tibi.
12 Blessed are you, YHWH. Teach me your statutes.

Increpasti superbos: maledicti qui declinant a mandatis tuis.
22 Take reproach and contempt away from me, for I have kept your statutes.
Aufer a me opprobrium, et contemptum: quia testimonia tua exquisivi.
23 Though princes sit and slander me, your servant will meditate on your statutes.
Etenim sederunt principes, et adversum me loquebantur: servus autem tuus exercebatur in iustificationibus tuis.
24 Indeed your statutes are my delight, and my counselors.
Nam et testimonia tua meditatio mea est: et consilium meum iustificationes tuæ.

82 My eyes fail for your word. I say, "When will you comfort me?"
Defecerunt oculi mei in eloquium tuum, dicentes: Quando consolaberis me?
83 For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke. I do not forget your statutes.
Quia factus sum sicut uter in pruina: iustificationes tuas non sum oblitus.
84 How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute judgment on those who persecute me?
