Psalms 119
1 ALEPH Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the LORD’s law.
αλληλουια α# αλφ μακάριοι οἱ ἄμωμοι ἐν ὁδῷ οἱ πορευόμενοι ἐν νόμῳ κυρίου
2 Blessed are those who keep his statutes, who seek him with their whole heart.
μακάριοι οἱ ἐξερευνῶντες τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτοῦ ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ ἐκζητήσουσιν αὐτόν
3 Yes, they do nothing wrong. They walk in his ways.
οὐ γὰρ οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ ἐπορεύθησαν
4 You have commanded your precepts, that we should fully obey them.
σὺ ἐνετείλω τὰς ἐντολάς σου φυλάξασθαι σφόδρα
5 Oh that my ways were steadfast to obey your statutes!
ὄφελον κατευθυνθείησαν αἱ ὁδοί μου τοῦ φυλάξασθαι τὰ δικαιώματά σου
6 Then I wouldn’t be disappointed, when I consider all of your commandments.
τότε οὐ μὴ ἐπαισχυνθῶ ἐν τῷ με ἐπιβλέπειν ἐπὶ πάσας τὰς ἐντολάς σου
7 I will give thanks to you with uprightness of heart, when I learn your righteous judgements.
ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι κύριε ἐν εὐθύτητι καρδίας ἐν τῷ μεμαθηκέναι με τὰ κρίματα τῆς δικαιοσύνης σου
8 I will observe your statutes. Don’t utterly forsake me.
τὰ δικαιώματά σου φυλάξω μή με ἐγκαταλίπῃς ἕως σφόδρα
9 BETH How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.

10 With my whole heart I have sought you. Don’t let me wander from your commandments.
ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου ἐξεζήτησά σε μὴ ἀπώσῃ με ἀπὸ τῶν ἐντολῶν σου
11 I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ μου ἔκρυψα τὰ λόγιά σου ὅπως ἂν μὴ ἁμάρτω σοι
12 Blessed are you, LORD. Teach me your statutes.
εὐλογητὸς εἶ κύριε δίδαξόν με τὰ δικαιώματά σου
