Psalm 119:25–48

Daleth

²⁵My soul clings to the dust;

revive me according to your word.

²⁶I told of my ways, and you answered me;

teach me your statutes.

²⁷Make me understand the way of your precepts,

that I may meditate on your wonderful things.

²⁸My soul weepsⁱ because of grief;

strengthen me according to your word.

²⁹Remove from me the deceptive way,

and graciously give me your law.

³⁰I have chosen the faithful way;

I have set your ordinances before me.

³¹I cling to your testimonies;

O Yahweh, do not let me be put to shame.

³²I will run the way of your commands,

for you will enlarge my heart.^j

Heʼ

³³Teach me, O Yahweh, the way of your statutes,

and I will keep it to the end.

³⁴Give me understanding, that I may keep your law

and heed it with my whole heart.

³⁵Cause me to walk in the path of your commands,

for I delight in it.

³⁶Incline my heart to your testimonies,

and not to dishonest gain.

³⁷Turn away my eyes from looking at what is worthless;

revive me in your ways.

³⁸Fulfill your word^k to your servant,

which is to bring about a reverence for you.

³⁹Turn away my disgrace that I dread,

for your ordinances are good.

⁴⁰Look, I have longed for your precepts;

revive me in your righteousness.

Waw

⁴¹Let your acts of loyal love also come to me, O Yahweh,

your salvation according to your word.^l

⁴²Then I will have an answer for the one who taunts me,

for I trust your word.

⁴³And do not snatch the word of truth utterly from my mouth,

for I hope in your ordinances.

⁴⁴So I will heed your law continually,

forever and ever.

⁴⁵And I will go about freely,^m

for I have sought your precepts.

⁴⁶And I will speak of your testimonies before kings,

and will not be ashamed.

⁴⁷And I will take delight in your commands,

which I love.

⁴⁸And I will lift up my handsⁿ to your commands, which I love,

and I will meditate on your statutes.
