Samekh

¹¹³I hate ^vthe double-minded,

but I love ^wyour law.

¹¹⁴You are my ^xhiding place and my ^yshield;

I ^zhope in your word.

^115aDepart from me, you evildoers,

that I may ^bkeep the commandments of my God.

¹¹⁶Uphold me ^caccording to your promise, that I may live,

and let me not be ^dput to shame in my ^ehope!

^117fHold me up, that I may be safe

and have regard for your statutes continually!

¹¹⁸You ^gspurn all who ^hgo astray from your statutes,

for their cunning is in vain.

¹¹⁹All the wicked of the earth you discard like ⁱdross,

therefore ^jI love your testimonies.

¹²⁰My flesh ^ktrembles for fear of you,

and I am afraid of your judgments.

Ayin

¹²¹I have done what is just and right;

do not leave me to my oppressors.

¹²²Give your servant ^la pledge of good;

let not ^mthe insolent oppress me.

¹²³My ⁿeyes long for your salvation

and for the fulfillment of your righteous promise.

¹²⁴Deal with your servant according to your steadfast love,

and ^oteach me your statutes.

¹²⁵I am your ^pservant; ^qgive me understanding,

that I may know your testimonies!

¹²⁶It is time for the Lord to act,

for your law has been broken.

¹²⁷Therefore I ^rlove your commandments

above gold, above fine gold.

¹²⁸Therefore I consider all your precepts to be right;

I hate every ^sfalse way.

Pe

¹²⁹Your testimonies are ^twonderful;

therefore my soul ^ukeeps them.

¹³⁰The unfolding of your words gives light;

it imparts ^vunderstanding to the simple.

¹³¹I ^wopen my mouth and ^xpant,

because I ^ylong for your commandments.

^132zTurn to me and be gracious to me,

as is your way with those who love your name.

^133aKeep steady my steps according to your promise,

and let no iniquity ^bget dominion over me.

^134cRedeem me from man’s oppression,

that I may keep your precepts.

^135dMake your face shine upon your servant,

and ^eteach me your statutes.

¹³⁶My eyes ^fshed streams of tears,

because people ^gdo not keep your law.
