Meditations and Prayers Relating to the Law of God. Aleph. 1How blessed are those whose way is blameless, Who walk in the law of the LORD.
2How blessed are those who observe His testimonies,
3They also do no unrighteousness;
4You have ordained Your precepts,
5Oh that my ways may be established
6Then I shall not be ashamed
7I shall give thanks to You with uprightness of heart,
8I shall keep Your statutes;
10With all my heart I have sought You;
11Your word I have treasured in my heart,
12Blessed are You, O LORD;
13With my lips I have told of
14I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies,
15I will meditate on Your precepts
16I shall delight in Your statutes;
18Open my eyes, that I may behold
19I am a stranger in the earth;
20My soul is crushed with longing
21You rebuke the arrogant, the cursed,
22Take away reproach and contempt from me,
23Even though princes sit and talk against me,
24Your testimonies also are my delight;
26I have told of my ways, and You have answered me;
27Make me understand the way of Your precepts,
28My soul weeps because of grief;
29Remove the false way from me,
30I have chosen the faithful way;
31I cling to Your testimonies;
32I shall run the way of Your commandments,
34Give me understanding, that I may observe Your law
35Make me walk in the path of Your commandments,
36Incline my heart to Your testimonies
37Turn away my eyes from looking at vanity,
38Establish Your word to Your servant,
39Turn away my reproach which I dread,
40Behold, I long for Your precepts;
42So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me,
43And do not take the word of truth utterly out of my mouth,
44So I will keep Your law continually,
45And I will walk at liberty,
46I will also speak of Your testimonies before kings
47I shall delight in Your commandments,
48And I shall lift up my hands to Your commandments,
50This is my comfort in my affliction,
51The arrogant utterly deride me,
52I have remembered Your ordinances from of old, O LORD,
53Burning indignation has seized me because of the wicked,
54Your statutes are my songs
55O LORD, I remember Your name in the night,
56This has become mine,
58I sought Your favor with all my heart;
59I considered my ways
60I hastened and did not delay
61The cords of the wicked have encircled me,
62At midnight I shall rise to give thanks to You
63I am a companion of all those who fear You,
64The earth is full of Your lovingkindness, O LORD;
66Teach me good discernment and knowledge,
67Before I was afflicted I went astray,
68You are good and do good;
69The arrogant have forged a lie against me;
70Their heart is covered with fat,
71It is good for me that I was afflicted,
72The law of Your mouth is better to me
74May those who fear You see me and be glad,
75I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are righteous,
76O may Your lovingkindness comfort me,
77May Your compassion come to me that I may live,
78May the arrogant be ashamed, for they subvert me with a lie;
79May those who fear You turn to me,
80May my heart be blameless in Your statutes,
82My eyes fail with longing for Your word,
83Though I have become like a wineskin in the smoke,
84How many are the days of Your servant?
85The arrogant have dug pits for me,
86All Your commandments are faithful;
87They almost destroyed me on earth,
88Revive me according to Your lovingkindness,
90Your faithfulness continues throughout all generations;
91They stand this day according to Your ordinances,
92If Your law had not been my delight,
93I will never forget Your precepts,
94I am Yours, save me;
95The wicked wait for me to destroy me;
96I have seen a limit to all perfection;
98Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies,
99I have more insight than all my teachers,
100I understand more than the aged,
101I have restrained my feet from every evil way,
102I have not turned aside from Your ordinances,
103How sweet are Your words to my taste!
104From Your precepts I get understanding;
106I have sworn and I will confirm it,
107I am exceedingly afflicted;
108O accept the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD,
109My life is continually in my hand,
110The wicked have laid a snare for me,
111I have inherited Your testimonies forever,
112I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes
114You are my hiding place and my shield;
115Depart from me, evildoers,
116Sustain me according to Your word, that I may live;
117Uphold me that I may be safe,
118You have rejected all those who wander from Your statutes,
119You have removed all the wicked of the earth like dross;
120My flesh trembles for fear of You,
122Be surety for Your servant for good;
123My eyes fail with longing for Your salvation
124Deal with Your servant according to Your lovingkindness
125I am Your servant; give me understanding,
126It is time for the LORD to act,
127Therefore I love Your commandments
128Therefore I esteem right all Your precepts concerning everything,
130The unfolding of Your words gives light;
131I opened my mouth wide and panted,
132Turn to me and be gracious to me,
133Establish my footsteps in Your word,
134Redeem me from the oppression of man,
135Make Your face shine upon Your servant,
136My eyes shed streams of water,
138You have commanded Your testimonies in righteousness
139My zeal has consumed me,
140Your word is very pure,
141I am small and despised,
142Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,
143Trouble and anguish have come upon me,
144Your testimonies are righteous forever;
146I cried to You; save me
147I rise before dawn and cry for help;
148My eyes anticipate the night watches,
149Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness;
150Those who follow after wickedness draw near;
151You are near, O LORD,
152Of old I have known from Your testimonies
154Plead my cause and redeem me;
155Salvation is far from the wicked,
156Great are Your mercies, O LORD;
157Many are my persecutors and my adversaries,
158I behold the treacherous and loathe them,
159Consider how I love Your precepts;
160The sum of Your word is truth,
162I rejoice at Your word,
163I hate and despise falsehood,
164Seven times a day I praise You,
165Those who love Your law have great peace,
166I hope for Your salvation, O LORD,
167My soul keeps Your testimonies,
168I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies,
170Let my supplication come before You;
171Let my lips utter praise,
172Let my tongue sing of Your word,
173Let Your hand be ready to help me,
174I long for Your salvation, O LORD,
175Let my soul live that it may praise You,
