Psalm 119:105–128 | Liturgical Calendar

Lucerna pedibus meis

105

Thy word is a lantern unto my feet *

and a light unto my paths.

106

I have sworn, and am stedfastly purposed *

to keep thy righteous judgements.

107

I am troubled above measure *

quicken me, O Lord, according to thy word.

108

Let the free-will offerings of my mouth please thee, O Lord *

and teach me thy judgements.

109

My soul is alway in my hand *

yet do I not forget thy law.

110

The ungodly have laid a snare for me *

but yet I swerved not from thy commandments.

111

Thy testimonies have I claimed as mine heritage for ever *

and why? they are the very joy of my heart.

112

I have applied my heart to fulfil thy statutes alway *

even unto the end.

Iniquos odio habui

113

I hate them that imagine evil things *

but thy law do I love.

114

Thou art my defence and shield *

and my trust is in thy word.

115

Away from me, ye wicked *

I will keep the commandments of my God.

116

O stablish me according to thy word, that I may live *

and let me not be disappointed of my hope.

117

Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe *

yea, my delight shall be ever in thy statutes.

118

Thou hast trodden down all them that depart from thy statutes *

for they imagine but deceit.

119

Thou puttest away all the ungodly of the earth like dross *

therefore I love thy testimonies.

120

My flesh trembleth for fear of thee *

and I am afraid of thy judgements.

Feci judicium

121

I deal with the thing that is lawful and right *

O give me not over unto mine oppressors.

122

Make thou thy servant to delight in that which is good *

that the proud do me no wrong.

123

Mine eyes are wasted away with looking for thy health *

and for the word of thy righteousness.

124

O deal with thy servant according unto thy loving mercy *

and teach me thy statutes.

125

I am thy servant, O grant me understanding *

that I may know thy testimonies.

126

It is time for thee, Lord, to lay to thine hand *

for they have destroyed thy law.

127

For I love thy commandments *

above gold and precious stone.

128

Therefore hold I straight all thy commandments *

and all false ways I utterly abhor.
