Psalms 119
1 [Aleph.] O the happiness of those perfect in the way, They are walking in the law of Jehovah,
ALEPH. Blessed are those that are vpright in their way, and walke in the Lawe of the Lord.
2 O the happiness of those keeping His testimonies, With the whole heart they seek Him.
Blessed are they that keepe his testimonies, and seeke him with their whole heart.
3 Yea, they have not done iniquity, In His ways they have walked.
Surely they woorke none iniquitie, but walke in his waies.
4 Thou hast commanded us Thy precepts to keep diligently,
Thou hast commanded to keepe thy precepts diligently.
5 O that my ways were prepared to keep Thy statutes,
Oh that my waies were directed to keepe thy statutes!
6 Then I am not ashamed In my looking unto all Thy commands.
Then should I not be confounded, when I haue respect vnto all thy commandements.
7 I confess Thee with uprightness of heart, In my learning the judgments of Thy righteousness.
I will praise thee with an vpright heart, when I shall learne the iudgements of thy righteousnesse.
8 Thy statutes I keep, leave me not utterly!
I will keepe thy statutes: forsake mee not ouerlong.
9 [Beth.] With what doth a young man purify his path? To observe — according to Thy word.
BETH. Wherewith shall a yong man redresse his waie? in taking heede thereto according to thy woorde.

42 And I answer him who is reproaching me a word, For I have trusted in Thy word.
So shall I make answere vnto my blasphemers: for I trust in thy woorde.
43 And Thou takest not utterly away From my mouth the word of truth, Because for Thy judgment I have hoped.
And take not the woorde of trueth vtterly out of my mouth: for I waite for thy iudgements.
