Psalm 119:97–128

מ‍ Mem

97 Oh, how I love Your law!

aIt is my meditation all the day.

98 You, through Your commandments, make me bwiser than my enemies;

For they are ever with me.

99 I have more understanding than all my teachers,

cFor Your testimonies are my meditation.

100 dI understand more than the 8ancients,

Because I keep Your precepts.

101 I have restrained my feet from every evil way,

That I may keep Your word.

102 I have not departed from Your judgments,

For You Yourself have taught me.

103 eHow sweet are Your words to my taste,

Sweeter than honey to my mouth!

104 Through Your precepts I get understanding;

Therefore I hate every false way.

נ‍ Nun

105 fYour word is a lamp to my feet

And a light to my path.

106 gI have sworn and confirmed

That I will keep Your righteous judgments.

107 I am afflicted very much;

Revive me, O Lord, according to Your word.

108 Accept, I pray, hthe freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord,

And teach me Your judgments.

109 iMy life is continually 9in my hand,

Yet I do not forget Your law.

110 jThe wicked have laid a snare for me,

Yet I have not strayed from Your precepts.

111 kYour testimonies I have taken as a 1heritage forever,

For they are the rejoicing of my heart.

112 I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes

Forever, to the very end.

ס Samek

113 I hate the 2double-minded,

But I love Your law.

114 lYou are my hiding place and my shield;

I hope in Your word.

115 mDepart from me, you evildoers,

For I will keep the commandments of my God!

116 Uphold me according to Your word, that I may live;

And do not let me nbe ashamed of my hope.

117 3Hold me up, and I shall be safe,

And I shall observe Your statutes continually.

118 You reject all those who stray from Your statutes,

For their deceit is falsehood.

119 You 4put away all the wicked of the earth olike 5dross;

Therefore I love Your testimonies.

120 pMy flesh trembles for fear of You,

And I am afraid of Your judgments.

ע Ayin

121 I have done justice and righteousness;

Do not leave me to my oppressors.

122 Be qsurety 6for Your servant for good;

Do not let the proud oppress me.

123 My eyes fail from seeking Your salvation

And Your righteous word.

124 Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy,

And teach me Your statutes.

125 rI am Your servant;

Give me understanding,

That I may know Your testimonies.

126 It is time for You to act, O Lord,

For they have 7regarded Your law as void.

127 sTherefore I love Your commandments

More than gold, yes, than fine gold!

128 Therefore all Your precepts concerning all things

I consider to be right;

I hate every false way.
