Psalm 119

מ Mem

97 

Oh, how I love your law!
    I meditate on it all day long.

98 

Your commands are always with me
    and make me wiser than my enemies.

99 

I have more insight than all my teachers,
    for I meditate on your statutes.

100 

I have more understanding than the elders,
    for I obey your precepts.

101 

I have kept my feet from every evil path
    so that I might obey your word.

102 

I have not departed from your laws,
    for you yourself have taught me.

103 

How sweet are your words to my taste,
    sweeter than honey to my mouth!

104 

I gain understanding from your precepts;
    therefore I hate every wrong path.

נ Nun

105 

Your word is a lamp for my feet,
    a light on my path.

106 

I have taken an oath and confirmed it,
    that I will follow your righteous laws.

107 

I have suffered much;
    preserve my life, Lord, according to your word.

108 

Accept, Lord, the willing praise of my mouth,
    and teach me your laws.

109 

Though I constantly take my life in my hands,
    I will not forget your law.

110 

The wicked have set a snare for me,
    but I have not strayed from your precepts.

111 

Your statutes are my heritage forever;
    they are the joy of my heart.

112 

My heart is set on keeping your decrees
    to the very end.[d]

ס Samekh

113 

I hate double-minded people,
    but I love your law.

114 

You are my refuge and my shield;
    I have put my hope in your word.

115 

Away from me, you evildoers,
    that I may keep the commands of my God!

116 

Sustain me, my God, according to your promise, and I will live;
    do not let my hopes be dashed.

117 

Uphold me, and I will be delivered;
    I will always have regard for your decrees.

118 

You reject all who stray from your decrees,
    for their delusions come to nothing.

119 

All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross;
    therefore I love your statutes.

120 

My flesh trembles in fear of you;
    I stand in awe of your laws.

ע Ayin

121 

I have done what is righteous and just;
    do not leave me to my oppressors.

122 

Ensure your servant’s well-being;
    do not let the arrogant oppress me.

123 

My eyes fail, looking for your salvation,
    looking for your righteous promise.

124 

Deal with your servant according to your love
    and teach me your decrees.

125 

I am your servant; give me discernment
    that I may understand your statutes.

126 

It is time for you to act, Lord;
    your law is being broken.

127 

Because I love your commands
    more than gold, more than pure gold,

128 

and because I consider all your precepts right,
    I hate every wrong path.
