Psalm 119:129-176

¶Your testimonies are wonderful; Therefore my soul complies with them. The unfolding of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple. I opened my mouth wide and panted, For I longed for Your commandments. Turn to me and be gracious to me, As is right for those who love Your name. Establish my footsteps in Your word, And do not let any wrongdoing have power over me. Redeem me from oppression by man, So that I may keep Your precepts. Make Your face shine upon Your servant, And teach me Your statutes. My eyes shed streams of water, Because they do not keep Your Law. ¶You are righteous, Lord, And Your judgments are right. You have commanded Your testimonies in righteousness And great faithfulness. My zeal has consumed me, Because my enemies have forgotten Your words. Your word is very pure, Therefore Your servant loves it. I am small and despised, Yet I do not forget Your precepts. Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And Your Law is truth. Trouble and anguish have come upon me, Yet Your commandments are my delight. Your testimonies are righteous forever; Give me understanding that I may live. ¶I cried out with all my heart; answer me, Lord! I will comply with Your statutes. I cried to You; save me And I shall keep Your testimonies. I rise before dawn and cry for help; I wait for Your words. My eyes anticipate the night watches, So that I may meditate on Your word. Hear my voice according to Your faithfulness; Revive me, Lord, according to Your judgments. Those who follow after wickedness approach; They are far from Your Law. You are near, Lord, And all Your commandments are truth. From long ago I have known from Your testimonies That You have founded them forever. ¶Look at my affliction and rescue me, For I have not forgotten Your Law. Plead my cause and redeem me; Revive me according to Your word. Salvation is far from the wicked, For they do not seek Your statutes. Great are Your mercies, Lord; Revive me according to Your judgments. Many are my persecutors and my enemies, Yet I do not turn aside from Your testimonies. I see the treacherous and loathe them, Because they do not keep Your word. Consider how I love Your precepts; Revive me, Lord, according to Your faithfulness. The sum of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments is everlasting. ¶Rulers persecute me without cause, But my heart stands in awe of Your words. I rejoice at Your word, Like one who finds great plunder. I hate and loathe falsehood, But I love Your Law. Seven times a day I praise You Because of Your righteous judgments. Those who love Your Law have great peace, And nothing causes them to stumble. I hope for Your salvation, Lord, And do Your commandments. My soul keeps Your testimonies, And I love them exceedingly. I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies, For all my ways are before You. ¶Let my cry come before You, Lord; Give me understanding according to Your word. Let my pleading come before You; Save me according to Your word. Let my lips pour out praise, For You teach me Your statutes. Let my tongue sing about Your word, For all Your commandments are righteousness. Let Your hand be ready to help me, For I have chosen Your precepts. I long for Your salvation, Lord, And Your Law is my delight. Let my soul live that it may praise You, And let Your ordinances help me. I have wandered about like a lost sheep; search for Your servant, For I do not forget Your commandments.
