Psalm 119
Zayin
Memor esto verbi tui
49
Remember your word to your servant, *
because you have given me hope.
50
This is my comfort in my trouble, *
that your promise gives me life.
51
The proud have derided me cruelly, *
but I have not turned from your law.
52
When I remember your judgments of old, *
O Lord, I take great comfort.
53
I am filled with a burning rage, *
because of the wicked who forsake your law.
54
Your statutes have been like songs to me *
wherever I have lived as a stranger.
55
I remember your Name in the night, O Lord, *
and dwell upon your law.
56
This is how it has been with me, *
because I have kept your commandments.
Heth
Portio mea, Domine
57
You only are my portion, O Lord; *
I have promised to keep your words.
58
I entreat you with all my heart, *
be merciful to me according to your promise.
59
I have considered my ways *
and turned my feet toward your decrees.
60
I hasten and do not tarry *
to keep your commandments.
61
Though the cords of the wicked entangle me, *
I do not forget your law.
62
At midnight I will rise to give you thanks, *
because of your righteous judgments.
63
I am a companion of all who fear you; *
and of those who keep your commandments.
64
The earth, O Lord, is full of your love; *
instruct me in your statutes.
Teth
Bonitatem fecisti
65
O Lord, you have dealt graciously with your servant, *
according to your word.
66
Teach me discernment and knowledge, *
for I have believed in your commandments.
67
Before I was afflicted I went astray, *
but now I keep your word.
68
You are good and you bring forth good; *
instruct me in your statutes.
69
The proud have smeared me with lies, *
but I will keep your commandments with my whole heart.
70
Their heart is gross and fat, *
but my delight is in your law.
71
It is good for me that I have been afflicted, *
that I might learn your statutes.
72
The law of your mouth is dearer to me *
than thousands in gold and silver.
