Psalm 119
Pe
Mirabilia
129
Your testimonies are wonderful; *
therefore does my soul keep them.
130
When your word goes forth it gives light *
and understanding to the simple.
131
I opened my mouth, and drew in my breath, *
for my delight was in your commandments.
132
O look upon me, and be merciful unto me, *
as you always do for those who love your Name.
133
Order my steps according to your word, *
and so shall no wickedness have dominion over me.
134
O deliver me from those who deal wrongfully, *
and so shall I keep your commandments.
135
Show the light of your countenance upon your servant, *
and teach me your statutes.
136
My eyes gush out water *
because of those who do not keep your law.
Sadhe
Justus es, Domine
137
Righteous are you, O Lord, *
and true are your judgments.
138
The testimonies that you have commanded *
are exceedingly righteous and true.
139
My zeal has even consumed me, *
because my enemies have forgotten your words.
140
Your word is tested to the uttermost, *
and therefore your servant loves it.
141
I am small, and of no reputation, *
yet I do not forget your commandments.
142
Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, *
and your law is the truth.
143
Trouble and heaviness have taken hold of me, *
yet my delight is in your commandments.
144
The righteousness of your testimonies is everlasting; *
O grant me understanding, and I shall live.
Qoph
Clamavi in toto corde meo
145
I call with my whole heart. *
Hear me, O Lord; I will keep your statutes.
146
Even unto you do I call; *
help me, and I shall keep your testimonies.
147
Early in the morning do I cry unto you, *
for in your word is my trust.
148
My eyes open before the night watches, *
that I may meditate on your words.
149
Hear my voice, O Lord, according to your loving-kindness; *
give me life according to your judgments.
150
They draw nigh who in malice persecute me, *
and are far from your law.
151
Be near at hand, O Lord, *
for all your commandments are true.
152
Concerning your testimonies, I have known long ago *
that you have founded them for ever.
