Psalm 119

Resh

Vide humilitatem

153

O consider my adversity and deliver me, *

for I do not forget your law.

154

Plead my cause and deliver me; *

give me life according to your word.

155

Salvation is far from the ungodly, *

for they do not regard your statutes.

156

Great is your mercy, O Lord; *

give me life according to your judgments.

157

Many there are who trouble me and persecute me, *

yet I do not swerve from your testimonies.

158

It grieves me when I see the transgressors, *

because they do not keep your law.

159

Consider, O Lord, how I love your commandments; *

O give me life according to your loving-kindness.

160

Your word is true from everlasting; *

all the judgments of your righteousness endure for evermore.

Shin

Principes persecuti sunt

161

Princes have persecuted me without a cause, *

but my heart stands in awe of your word.

162

I am as glad of your word *

as one who finds great spoils.

163

As for lies, I hate and abhor them, *

but your law do I love.

164

Seven times a day do I praise you, *

because of your righteous judgments.

165

Great is the peace they have who love your law *

and find in it no stumbling block.

166

Lord, I have looked for your saving health *

and have done your commandments.

167

My soul has kept your testimonies, *

and I have loved them exceedingly.

168

I have kept your commandments and testimonies, *

for all my ways are before you.

Taw

Appropinquet deprecatio

169

Let my complaint come before you, O Lord; *

give me understanding, according to your word.

170

Let my supplication come before you; *

deliver me, according to your word.

171

My lips shall pour forth your praise, *

when you have taught me your statutes.

172

Surely my tongue shall sing of your word, *

for all your commandments are righteous.

173

Let your hand be strong to help me, *

for I have chosen your commandments.

174

I have longed for your saving health, O Lord, *

and in your law is my delight.

175

O let my soul live and it shall praise you, *

and let your judgments help me.

176

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

O seek your servant, for I do not forget your commandments.
