111:1 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with [my] whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and [in] the congregation. 111:2 The works of the LORD [are] great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. 111:3 His work [is] honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever. 111:4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD [is] gracious and full of compassion. 111:5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. 111:6 He hath showed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. 111:7 The works of his hands [are] verity and judgment; all his commandments [are] sure. 111:8 They stand fast for ever and ever, [and are] done in truth and uprightness. 111:9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend [is] his name. 111:10 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: his praise endureth for ever. 112:1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [is] the man [that] feareth the LORD, [that] delighteth greatly in his commandments. 112:2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. 112:3 Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. 112:4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [he is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. 112:5 A good man showeth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. 112:6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. 112:7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. 112:8 His heart [is] established, he shall not be afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his enemies. 112:9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. 112:10 The wicked shall see [it], and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish. 113:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. 113:2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. 113:3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD's name [is] to be praised. 113:4 The LORD [is] high above all nations, [and] his glory above the heavens. 113:5 Who [is] like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, 113:6 Who humbleth [himself] to behold [the things that are] in heaven, and in the earth! 113:7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; 113:8 That he may set [him] with princes, [even] with the princes of his people. 113:9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD. 114:1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language; 114:2 Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion. 114:3 The sea saw [it], and fled: Jordan was driven back. 114:4 The mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little hills like lambs. 114:5 What [ailed] thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, [that] thou wast driven back? 114:6 Ye mountains, [that] ye skipped like rams; [and] ye little hills, like lambs? 114:7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; 114:8 Which turned the rock [into] a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters. 115:1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, [and] for thy truth's sake. 115:2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where [is] now their God? 115:3 But our God [is] in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. 115:4 Their idols [are] silver and gold, the work of men's hands. 115:5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: 115:6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: 115:7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. 115:8 They that make them are like unto them; [so is] every one that trusteth in them. 115:9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he [is] their help and their shield. 115:10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he [is] their help and their shield. 115:11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he [is] their help and their shield. 115:12 The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless [us]; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. 115:13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, [both] small and great. 115:14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. 115:15 Ye [are] blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. 115:16 The heaven, [even] the heavens, [are] the LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. 115:17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. 115:18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD. 116:1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications. 116:2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon [him] as long as I live. 116:3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. 116:4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. 116:5 Gracious [is] the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God [is] merciful. 116:6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. 116:7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. 116:8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, [and] my feet from falling. 116:9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. 116:10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: 116:11 I said in my haste, All men [are] liars. 116:12 What shall I render unto the LORD [for] all his benefits toward me? 116:13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. 116:14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the death of his saints. 116:16 O LORD, truly I [am] thy servant; I [am] thy servant, [and] the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. 116:17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. 116:18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people, 116:19 In the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD. 117:1 O Praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. 117:2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD [endureth] for ever. Praise ye the LORD. 118:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: because his mercy [endureth] for ever. 118:2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever. 118:3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever. 118:4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever. 118:5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, [and set me] in a large place. 118:6 The LORD [is] on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? 118:7 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see [my desire] upon them that hate me. 118:8 [It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. 118:9 [It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. 118:10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. 118:11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. 118:12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. 118:13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me. 118:14 The LORD [is] my strength and song, and is become my salvation. 118:15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation [is] in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. 118:16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. 118:17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. 118:18 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. 118:19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, [and] I will praise the LORD: 118:20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. 118:21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. 118:22 The stone [which] the builders refused is become the head [stone] of the corner. 118:23 This is the LORD'S doing; it [is] marvellous in our eyes. 118:24 This [is] the day [which] the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 118:25 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. 118:26 Blessed [be] he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. 118:27 God [is] the LORD, which hath showed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, [even] unto the horns of the altar. 118:28 Thou [art] my God, and I will praise thee: [thou art] my God, I will exalt thee. 118:29 O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. 119:1 ALEPH. Blessed [are] the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. 119:2 Blessed [are] they that keep his testimonies, [and that] seek him with the whole heart. 119:3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. 119:4 Thou hast commanded [us] to keep thy precepts diligently. 119:5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! 119:6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. 119:7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. 119:8 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly. 119:9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed [thereto] according to thy word. 119:10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. 119:12 Blessed [art] thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes. 119:13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. 119:14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as [much as] in all riches. 119:15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. 119:16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. 119:17 GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, [that] I may live, and keep thy word. 119:18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. 119:19 I [am] a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me. 119:20 My soul breaketh for the longing [that it hath] unto thy judgments at all times. 119:21 Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed, which do err from thy commandments. 119:22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies. 119:23 Princes also did sit [and] speak against me: [but] thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. 119:24 Thy testimonies also [are] my delight [and] my counsellors. 119:25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word. 119:26 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes. 119:27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. 119:28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word. 119:29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. 119:30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid [before me]. 119:31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame. 119:32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart. 119:33 HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it [unto] the end. 119:34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with [my] whole heart. 119:35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight. 119:36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. 119:37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; [and] quicken thou me in thy way. 119:38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who [is devoted] to thy fear. 119:39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments [are] good. 119:40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness. 119:41 VAU. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, [even] thy salvation, according to thy word. 119:42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. 119:43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. 119:44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever. 119:45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. 119:46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. 119:47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. 119:48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. 119:49 ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. 119:50 This [is] my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me. 119:51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: [yet] have I not declined from thy law. 119:52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself. 119:53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law. 119:54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. 119:55 I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law. 119:56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts. 119:57 CHETH. [Thou art] my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words. 119:58 I entreated thy favour with [my] whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word. 119:59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. 119:60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. 119:61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: [but] I have not forgotten thy law. 119:62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments. 119:63 I [am] a companion of all [them] that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts. 119:64 The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes. 119:65 TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word. 119:66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. 119:67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. 119:68 Thou [art] good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. 119:69 The proud have forged a lie against me: [but] I will keep thy precepts with [my] whole heart. 119:70 Their heart is as fat as grease; [but] I delight in thy law. 119:71 [It is] good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. 119:72 The law of thy mouth [is] better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. 119:73 JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. 119:74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word. 119:75 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments [are] right, and [that] thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. 119:76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. 119:77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law [is] my delight. 119:78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: [but] I will meditate in thy precepts. 119:79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies. 119:80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed. 119:81 CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: [but] I hope in thy word. 119:82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me? 119:83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; [yet] do I not forget thy statutes. 119:84 How many [are] the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? 119:85 The proud have digged pits for me, which [are] not after thy law. 119:86 All thy commandments [are] faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. 119:87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts. 119:88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth. 119:89 LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. 119:90 Thy faithfulness [is] unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. 119:91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all [are] thy servants. 119:92 Unless thy law [had been] my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction. 119:93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me. 119:94 I [am] thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts. 119:95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: [but] I will consider thy testimonies. 119:96 I have seen an end of all perfection: [but] thy commandment [is] exceeding broad. 119:97 MEM. O how love I thy law! it [is] my meditation all the day. 119:98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they [are] ever with me. 119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies [are] my meditation. 119:100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. 119:101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. 119:102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. 119:103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! [yea, sweeter] than honey to my mouth! 119:104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. 119:105 NUN. Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. 119:106 I have sworn, and I will perform [it], that I will keep thy righteous judgments. 119:107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word. 119:108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments. 119:109 My soul [is] continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. 119:110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts. 119:111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they [are] the rejoicing of my heart. 119:112 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, [even unto] the end. 119:113 SAMECH. I hate [vain] thoughts: but thy law do I love. 119:114 Thou [art] my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. 119:115 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. 119:116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. 119:117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. 119:118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit [is] falsehood. 119:119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth [like] dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. 119:120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. 119:121 AIN. I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors. 119:122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. 119:123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness. 119:124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. 119:125 I [am] thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. 119:126 [It is] time for [thee], LORD, to work: [for] they have made void thy law. 119:127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. 119:128 Therefore I esteem all [thy] precepts [concerning] all [things to be] right; [and] I hate every false way. 119:129 PE. Thy testimonies [are] wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. 119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. 119:131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments. 119:132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name. 119:133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. 119:134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. 119:135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. 119:136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law. 119:137 TZADDI. Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, and upright [are] thy judgments. 119:138 Thy testimonies [that] thou hast commanded [are] righteous and very faithful. 119:139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. 119:140 Thy word [is] very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. 119:141 I [am] small and despised: [yet] do not I forget thy precepts. 119:142 Thy righteousness [is] an everlasting righteousness, and thy law [is] the truth. 119:143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: [yet] thy commandments [are] my delights. 119:144 The righteousness of thy testimonies [is] everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. 119:145 KOPH. I cried with [my] whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes. 119:146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies. 119:147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. 119:148 Mine eyes prevent the [night] watches, that I might meditate in thy word. 119:149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment. 119:150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law. 119:151 Thou [art] near, O LORD; and all thy commandments [are] truth. 119:152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever. 119:153 RESH. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law. 119:154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word. 119:155 Salvation [is] far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes. 119:156 Great [are] thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments. 119:157 Many [are] my persecutors and mine enemies; [yet] do I not decline from thy testimonies. 119:158 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word. 119:159 Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness. 119:160 Thy word [is] true [from] the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments [endureth] for ever. 119:161 SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. 119:162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. 119:163 I hate and abhor lying: [but] thy law do I love. 119:164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments. 119:165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. 119:166 LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments. 119:167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly. 119:168 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways [are] before thee. 119:169 TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word. 119:170 Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word. 119:171 My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes. 119:172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments [are] righteousness. 119:173 Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts. 119:174 I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law [is] my delight. 119:175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me. 119:176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments. 120:1 A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me. 120:2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, [and] from a deceitful tongue. 120:3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? 120:4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. 120:5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, [that] I dwell in the tents of Kedar! 120:6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. 120:7 I [am for] peace: but when I speak, they [are] for war.
