Psalm 119

Qoph

Clamavi in toto corde meo

145

I call with my whole heart; *

answer me, O Lord, that I may keep your statutes.

146

I call to you;

oh, that you would save me! *

I will keep your decrees.

147

Early in the morning I cry out to you, *

for in your word is my trust.

148

My eyes are open in the night watches, *

that I may meditate upon your promise.

149

Hear my voice, O Lord, according to your loving-kindness; *

according to your judgments, give me life.

150

They draw near who in malice persecute me; *

they are very far from your law.

151

You, O Lord, are near at hand, *

and all your commandments are true.

152

Long have I known from your decrees *

that you have established them for ever.

Resh

Vide humilitatem

153

Behold my affliction and deliver me, *

for I do not forget your law.

154

Plead my cause and redeem me; *

according to your promise, give me life.

155

Deliverance is far from the wicked, *

for they do not study your statutes.

156

Great is your compassion, O Lord; *

preserve my life, according to your judgments.

157

There are many who persecute and oppress me, *

yet I have not swerved from your decrees.

158

I look with loathing at the faithless, *

for they have not kept your word.

159

See how I love your commandments! *

O Lord, in your mercy, preserve me.

160

The heart of your word is truth; *

all your righteous judgments endure for evermore.

Shin

Principes persecuti sunt

161

Rulers have persecuted me without a cause, *

but my heart stands in awe of your word.

162

I am as glad because of your promise *

as one who finds great spoils.

163

As for lies, I hate and abhor them, *

but your law is my love.

164

Seven times a day do I praise you, *

because of your righteous judgments.

165

Great peace have they who love your law; *

for them there is no stumbling block.

166

I have hoped for your salvation, O Lord, *

and I have fulfilled your commandments.

167

I have kept your decrees *

and I have loved them deeply.

168

I have kept your commandments and decrees, *

for all my ways are before you.

Taw

Appropinquet deprecatio

169

Let my cry come before you, O Lord; *

give me understanding, according to your word.

170

Let my supplication come before you; *

deliver me, according to your promise.

171

My lips shall pour forth your praise, *

when you teach me your statutes.

172

My tongue shall sing of your promise, *

for all your commandments are righteous.

173

Let your hand be ready to help me, *

for I have chosen your commandments.

174

I long for your salvation, O Lord, *

and your law is my delight.

175

Let me live, and I will praise you, *

and let your judgments help me.

176

I have gone astray like a sheep that is lost; *

search for your servant,

for I do not forget your commandments.
