Psalm 119:49 - 119:88

« Psalm 118 | Psalm 119 | Psalm 120 »

ז Zayin

Remember the word to Your slave,

In which You have made me wait.

This is my comfort in my affliction,

That Your word has revived me.

The arrogant utterly scoff at me,

Yet I do not turn aside from Your law.

I have remembered Your judgments from of old, O Yahweh,

And comfort myself.

Burning indignation has seized me because of the wicked,

Who forsake Your law.

Your statutes have become my songs

In the house of my sojourning.

I remember in the night Your name, O Yahweh,

So I keep Your law.

This has become mine,

That I observe Your precepts.

ח Heth

Yahweh is my portion;

I have promised to keep Your words.

I have sought to please Your face with all my heart;

Be gracious to me according to Your word.

I thought upon my ways

And I turned my feet to Your testimonies.

I hastened and did not delay

To keep Your commandments.

The cords of the wicked have encircled me,

But I have not forgotten Your law.

At midnight I shall rise to give thanks to You

Because of Your righteous judgments.

I am a companion of all those who fear You,

And of those who keep Your precepts.

The earth, O Yahweh, is full of Your lovingkindness;

Teach me Your statutes.

ט Teth

You have dealt well with Your slave,

O Yahweh, according to Your word.

Teach me good discernment and knowledge,

For I believe in Your commandments.

Before I was afflicted I went astray,

But now I keep Your word.

You are good and do good;

Teach me Your statutes.

The arrogant have smeared me with lying;

With all my heart I will observe Your precepts.

Their heart is covered with fat,

But I delight in Your law.

It is good for me that I was afflicted,

That I may learn Your statutes.

The law of Your mouth is better to me

Than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

י Yodh

Your hands made me and established me;

Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.

May those who fear You see me and be glad,

Because I wait for Your word.

I know, O Yahweh, that Your judgments are righteous,

And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.

Oh may Your lovingkindness comfort me,

According to Your word to Your slave.

May Your compassion come to me that I may live,

For Your law is my delight.

May the arrogant be ashamed, for they wrong me with lying;

But I shall muse on Your precepts.

May those who fear You turn to me,

And those who know Your testimonies.

May my heart be blameless in Your statutes,

So that I will not be ashamed.

כ Kaph

My soul fails with longing for Your salvation;

I wait for Your word.

My eyes fail with longing for Your word,

Saying, “When will You comfort me?”

For I am like a wineskin in the smoke,

But I do not forget Your statutes.

How many are the days of Your slave?

When will You execute judgment on those who persecute me?

The arrogant have dug pits for me,

Men who are not in accord with Your law.

All Your commandments are faithful;

They have persecuted me with lying; help me!

They almost made an end of me on the earth,

But as for me, I did not forsake Your precepts.

Revive me according to Your lovingkindness,

So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth.
