|---|---|---|
| 1 | ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord. | Alleluia. Aleph Beati immaculati in via, qui ambulant in lege Domini. |
| 2 | Blessed are they who search his testimonies: that seek him with their whole heart. | Beati qui scrutantur testimonia eius; in toto corde exquirunt eum. |
| 3 | For they that work iniquity, have not walked in his ways. | Non enim qui operantur iniquitatem in viis eius ambulaverunt. |
| 4 | Thou hast commanded thy commandments to be kept most diligently. | Tu mandasti mandata tua custodiri nimis. |
| 5 | O! that my ways may be directed to keep thy justifications. | Utinam dirigantur viae meae ad custodiendas iustificationes tuas. |
| 6 | Then shall I not be confounded, when I shall look into all thy commandments. | Tunc non confundar, cum perspexero in omnibus mandatis tuis. |
| 7 | I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned the judgments of thy justice. | Confitebor tibi in directione cordis, in eo quod didici iudicia iustitiae tuae. |
| 8 | I will keep thy justifications: O! do not thou utterly forsake me. | Iustificationes tuas custodiam; non me derelinquas usquequaque. |
| 9 | BETH. By what doth a young man correct his way? by observing thy words. | Beth In quo corrigit adolescentior viam suam? in custodiendo sermones tuos. |
| 10 | With my whole heart have I sought after thee: let me not stray from thy commandments. | In toto corde meo exquisivi te; ne repellas me a mandatis tuis. |
| 11 | Thy words have I hidden in my heart, that I may not sin against thee. | In corde meo abscondi eloquia tua, ut non peccem tibi. |
| 12 | Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy justifications. | Benedictus es, Domine; doce me iustificationes tuas. |
| 13 | With my lips I have pronounced all the judgments of thy mouth. | In labiis meis pronuntiavi omnia iudicia oris tui. |
| 14 | I have been delighted in the way of thy testimonies, as in all riches. | In via testimoniorum tuorum delectatus sum, sicut in omnibus divitiis. |
| 15 | I will meditate on thy commandments: and I will consider thy ways. | In mandatis tuis exercebor, et considerabo vias tuas. |
| 16 | I will think of thy justifications: I will not forget thy words. | In iustificationibus tuis meditabor: non obliviscar sermones tuos. |
| 17 | GIMEL. Give bountifully to thy servant, enliven me: and I shall keep thy words. | Ghimel Retribue servo tuo, vivifica me, et custodiam sermones tuos. |
| 18 | Open thou my eyes: and I will consider the wondrous things of thy law. | Revela oculos meos, et considerabo mirabilia de lege tua. |
| 19 | I am a sojourner on the earth: hide not thy commandments from me. | Incola ego sum in terra: non abscondas a me mandata tua. |
| 20 | My soul hath coveted to long for thy justifications, at all times. | Concupivit anima mea desiderare iustificationes tuas in omni tempore. |
| 21 | Thou hast rebuked the proud: they are cursed who decline from thy commandments. | Increpasti superbos; maledicti qui declinant a mandatis tuis. |
| 22 | Remove from reproach and contempt: because I have sought after thy testimonies. | Aufer a me opprobrium et contemptum, quia testimonia tua exquisivi. |
| 23 | For princes sat, and spoke against me: but thy servant was employed in thy justifications. | Etenim sederunt principes, et adversum me loquebantur; servus autem tuus exercebatur in iustificationibus tuis. |
| 24 | For thy testimonies are my meditation: and thy justifications my counsel. | Nam et testimonia tua meditatio mea est, et consilium meum iustificationes tuae. |
| 25 | DALETH. My soul hath cleaved to the pavement: quicken thou me according to thy word. | Daleth Adhaesit pavimento anima mea: vivifica me secundum verbum tuum. |
| 26 | I have declared my ways, and thou hast heard me: teach me thy justifications. | Vias meas enuntiavi, et exaudisti me; doce me iustificationes tuas. |
| 27 | Make me to understand the way of thy justifications: and I shall be exercised in thy wondrous works. | Viam iustificationum tuarum instrue me, et exercebor in mirabilibus tuis. |
| 28 | My soul hath slumbered through heaviness: strengthen thou me in thy words. | Dormitavit anima mea prae taedio: confirma me in verbis tuis. |
| 29 | Remove from me the way of iniquity: and out of thy law have mercy on me. | Viam iniquitatis amove a me, et de lege tua miserere mei. |
| 30 | I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments I have not forgotten. | Viam veritatis elegi; iudicia tua non sum oblitus. |
| 31 | I have stuck to thy testimonies, O Lord: put me not to shame. | Adhaesi testimoniis tuis, Domine; noli me confundere. |
| 32 | I have run the way of thy commandments, when thou didst enlarge my heart. | Viam mandatorum tuorum cucurri, cum dilatasti cor meum. |
| 33 | HE. Set before me for a law the way of thy justifications, O Lord: and I will always seek after it. | He Legem pone mihi, Domine, viam iustificationum tuarum, et exquiram eam semper. |
| 34 | Give me understanding, and I will search thy law; and I will keep it with my whole heart. | Da mihi intellectum, et scrutabor legem tuam, et custodiam illam in toto corde meo. |
| 35 | Lead me into the path of thy commandments; for this same I have desired. | Deduc me in semitam mandatorum tuorum, quia ipsam volui. |
| 36 | Incline my heart into thy testimonies and not to covetousness. | Inclina cor meum in testimonia tua, et non in avaritiam. |
| 37 | Turn away my eyes that they may not behold vanity: quicken me in thy way. | Averte oculos meos, ne videant vanitatem; in via tua vivifica me. |
| 38 | Establish thy word to thy servant, in thy fear. | Statue servo tuo eloquium tuum in timore tuo. |
| 39 | Turn away my reproach, which I have apprehended: for thy judgments are delightful. | Amputa opprobrium meum quod suspicatus sum, quia iudicia tua iucunda. |
| 40 | Behold I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy justice. | Ecce concupivi mandata tua: in aequitate tua vivifica me. |
| 41 | VAU. Let thy mercy also come upon me, O Lord: thy salvation according to thy word. | Vau Et veniat super me misericordia tua, Domine; salutare tuum secundum eloquium tuum. |
| 42 | So shall I answer them that reproach me in any thing; that I have trusted in thy words. | Et respondebo exprobrantibus mihi verbum, quia speravi in sermonibus tuis. |
| 43 | And take not thou the word of truth utterly out of my mouth: for in thy words have I hoped exceedingly. | Et ne auferas de ore meo verbum veritatis usquequaque, quia in iudiciis tuis supersperavi. |
| 44 | So shall I always keep thy law, for ever and ever. | Et custodiam legem tuam semper, in saeculum et in saeculum saeculi. |
| 45 | And I walked at large: because I have sought after thy commandments. | Et ambulabam in latitudine, quia mandata tua exquisivi. |
| 46 | And I spoke of thy testimonies before kings: and I was not ashamed. | Et loquebar in testimoniis tuis in conspectu regum, et non confundebar. |
| 47 | I meditated also on thy commandments, which I loved. | Et meditabar in mandatis tuis, quae dilexi. |
| 48 | And I lifted up my hands to thy commandments, which I loved: and I was exercised in thy justifications. | Et levavi manus meas ad mandata tua, quae dilexi, et exercebar in iustificationibus tuis. |
| 49 | ZAIN. Be thou mindful of thy word to thy servant, in which thou hast given me hope. | Zain Memor esto verbi tui servo tuo, in quo mihi spem dedisti. |
| 50 | This hath comforted me in my humiliation: because thy word hath enlivened me. | Haec me consolata est in humilitate mea, quia eloquium tuum vivificavit me. |
| 51 | The proud did iniquitously altogether: but I declined not from thy law. | Superbi inique agebant usquequaque; a lege autem tua non declinavi. |
| 52 | I remembered, O Lord, thy judgments of old: and I was comforted. | Memor fui iudiciorum tuorum a saeculo, Domine, et consolatus sum. |
| 53 | A fainting hath taken hold of me, because of the wicked that forsake thy law. | Defectio tenuit me, pro peccatoribus derelinquentibus legem tuam. |
| 54 | Thy justifications were the subject of my song, in the place of my pilgrimage. | Cantabiles mihi erant iustificationes tuae in loco peregrinationis meae. |
| 55 | In the night I have remembered thy name, O Lord: and have kept thy law. | Memor fui nocte nominis tui, Domine, et custodivi legem tuam. |
| 56 | This happened to me: because I sought after thy justifications. | Haec facta est mihi, quia iustificationes tuas exquisivi. |
| 57 | HETH. O Lord, my portion, I have said, I would keep the law. | Heth Portio mea, Domine, dixi custodire legem tuam. |
| 58 | I entreated thy face with all my heart: have mercy on me according to thy word. | Deprecatus sum faciem tuam in toto corde meo; miserere mei secundum eloquium tuum. |
| 59 | I have thought on my ways: and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. | Cogitavi vias meas, et converti pedes meos in testimonia tua. |
| 60 | I am ready, and am not troubled: that I may keep thy commandments. | Paratus sum, et non sum turbatus, ut custodiam mandata tua. |
| 61 | The cords of the wicked have encompassed me: but I have not forgotten thy law. | Funes peccatorum circumplexi sunt me, et legem tuam non sum oblitus. |
| 62 | I rose at midnight to give praise to thee; for the judgments of thy justification. | Media nocte surgebam ad confitendum tibi, super iudicia iustificationis tuae. |
| 63 | I am a partaker with all them that fear thee, and that keep thy commandments. | Particeps ego sum omnium timentium te, et custodientium mandata tua. |
| 64 | The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy justifications. | Misericordia tua, Domine, plena est terra; iustificationes tuas doce me. |
| 65 | TETH. Thou hast done well with thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word. | Teth Bonitatem fecisti cum servo tuo, Domine, secundum verbum tuum. |
| 66 | Teach me goodness and discipline and knowledge; for I have believed thy commandments. | Bonitatem, et disciplinam, et scientiam doce me, quia mandatis tuis credidi. |
| 67 | Before I was humbled I offended; therefore have I kept thy word. | Priusquam humiliarer ego deliqui: propterea eloquium tuum custodivi. |
| 68 | Thou art good; and in thy goodness teach me thy justifications. | Bonus es tu, et in bonitate tua doce me iustificationes tuas. |
| 69 | The iniquity of the proud hath been multiplied over me: but I will seek thy commandments with my whole heart. | Multiplicata est super me iniquitas superborum; ego autem in toto corde meo scrutabor mandata tua. |
| 70 | Their heart is curdled like milk: but I have meditated on thy law. | Coagulatum est sicut lac cor eorum; ego vero legem tuam meditatus sum. |
| 71 | It is good for me that thou hast humbled me, that I may learn thy justifications. | Bonum mihi quia humiliasti me, ut discam iustificationes tuas. |
| 72 | The law of thy mouth is good to me, above thousands of gold and silver. | Bonum mihi lex oris tui, super millia auri et argenti. |
| 73 | JOD. Thy hands have made me and formed me: give me understanding, and I will learn thy commandments. | Iod Manus tuae fecerunt me, et plasmaverunt me: da mihi intellectum, et discam mandata tua. |
| 74 | They that fear thee shall see me, and shall be glad: because I have greatly hoped in thy words. | Qui timent te videbunt me et laetabuntur, quia in verba tua supersperavi. |
| 75 | I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are equity: and in thy truth thou hast humbled me. | Cognovi, Domine, quia aequitas iudicia tua, et in veritate tua humiliasti me. |
| 76 | O! let thy mercy be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. | Fiat misericordia tua ut consoletur me, secundum eloquium tuum servo tuo. |
| 77 | Let thy tender mercies come unto me, and I shall live: for thy law is my meditation. | Veniant mihi miserationes tuae, et vivam, quia lex tua meditatio mea est. |
| 78 | Let the proud be ashamed, because they have done unjustly towards me: but I will be employed in thy commandments. | Confundantur superbi, quia iniuste iniquitatem fecerunt in me; ego autem exercebor in mandatis tuis. |
| 79 | Let them that fear thee turn to me and they that know thy testimonies. | Convertantur mihi timentes te, et qui noverunt testimonia tua. |
| 80 | Let my heart be undefiled in thy justifications, that I may not be confounded. | Fiat cor meum immaculatum in iustificationibus tuis, ut non confundar. |
| 81 | CAPH. My soul hath fainted after thy salvation: and in thy word I have very much hoped. | Caph Defecit in salutare tuum anima mea, et in verbum tuum supersperavi. |
| 82 | My eyes have failed for thy word, saying: When wilt thou comfort me? | Defecerunt oculi mei in eloquium tuum, dicentes: Quando consolaberis me? |
| 83 | For I am become like a bottle in the frost: I have not forgotten thy justifications. | Quia factus sum sicut uter in pruina; iustificationes tuas non sum oblitus. |
| 84 | How many are the days of thy servant: when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? | Quot sunt dies servi tui? quando facies de persequentibus me iudicium? |
| 85 | The wicked have told me fables: but not as thy law. | Narraverunt mihi iniqui fabulationes, sed non ut lex tua. |
| 86 | All thy statutes are truth: they have persecuted me unjustly, do thou help me. | Omnia mandata tua veritas: inique persecuti sunt me, adiuva me. |
| 87 | They had almost made an end of me upon earth: but I have not forsaken thy commandments. | Paulominus consummaverunt me in terra; ego autem non dereliqui mandata tua. |
| 88 | Quicken thou me according to thy mercy: and I shall keep the testimonies of thy mouth. | Secundum misericordiam tuam vivifica me, et custodiam testimonia oris tui. |
| 89 | LAMED. For ever, O Lord, thy word standeth firm in heaven. | Lamed In aeternum, Domine, verbum tuum permanet in caelo. |
| 90 | Thy truth unto all generations: thou hast founded the earth, and it continueth. | In generationem et generationem veritas tua; fundasti terram, et permanet. |
| 91 | By thy ordinance the day goeth on: for all things serve thee. | Ordinatione tua perseverat dies, quoniam omnia serviunt tibi. |
| 92 | Unless thy law had been my meditation, I had then perhaps perished in my abjection. | Nisi quod lex tua meditatio mea est, tunc forte periissem in humilitate mea. |
| 93 | Thy justifications I will never forget: for by them thou hast given me life. | In aeternum non obliviscar iustificationes tuas, quia in ipsis vivificasti me. |
| 94 | I am thine, save thou me: for I have sought thy justifications. | Tuus sum ego; salvum me fac: quoniam iustificationes tuas exquisivi. |
| 95 | The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I have understood thy testimonies. | Me exspectaverunt peccatores ut perderent me; testimonia tua intellexi. |
| 96 | I have seen an end to all persecution: thy commandment is exceeding broad. | Omnis consummationis vidi finem, latum mandatum tuum nimis. |
| 97 | MEM. O how have I loved thy law, O Lord! it is my meditation all the day. | Mem Quomodo dilexi legem tuam, Domine! tota die meditatio mea est. |
| 98 | Through thy commandment, thou hast made me wiser than my enemies: for it is ever with me. | Super inimicos meos prudentem me fecisti mandato tuo, quia in aeternum mihi est. |
| 99 | I have understood more than all my teachers: because thy testimonies are my meditation. | Super omnes docentes me intellexi, quia testimonia tua meditatio mea est. |
| 100 | I have had understanding above ancients: because I have sought thy commandments. | Super senes intellexi, quia mandata tua quaesivi. |
| 101 | I have restrained my feet from every evil way: that I may keep thy words. | Ab omni via mala prohibui pedes meos, ut custodiam verba tua. |
| 102 | I have not declined from thy judgments, because thou hast set me a law. | A iudiciis tuis non declinavi, quia tu legem posuisti mihi. |
| 103 | How sweet are thy words to my palate! more than honey to my mouth. | Quam dulcia faucibus meis eloquia tua! super mel ori meo. |
| 104 | By thy commandments I have had understanding: therefore have I hated every way of iniquity. | A mandatis tuis intellexi; propterea odivi omnem viam iniquitatis. |
| 105 | NUN. Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths. | Nun Lucerna pedibus meis verbum tuum, et lumen semitis meis. |
| 106 | I have sworn and am determined to keep the judgments of thy justice. | Iuravi et statui custodire iudicia iustitiae tuae. |
| 107 | I have been humbled, O Lord, exceedingly: quicken thou me according to thy word. | Humiliatus sum usquequaque, Domine; vivifica me secundum verbum tuum. |
| 108 | The free offerings of my mouth make acceptable, O Lord: and teach me thy judgments. | Voluntaria oris mei beneplacita fac, Domine, et iudicia tua doce me. |
| 109 | My soul is continually in my hands: and I have not forgotten thy law. | Anima mea in manibus meis semper, et legem tuam non sum oblitus. |
| 110 | Sinners have laid a snare for me: but I have not erred from thy precepts. | Posuerunt peccatores laqueum mihi, et de mandatis tuis non erravi. |
| 111 | I have purchased thy testimonies for an inheritance for ever: because they are a joy to my heart. | Haereditate acquisivi testimonia tua in aeternum, quia exsultatio cordis mei sunt. |
| 112 | I have inclined my heart to do thy justifications for ever, for the reward. | Inclinavi cor meum ad faciendas iustificationes tuas in aeternum, propter retributionem. |
| 113 | SAMECH. I have hated the unjust: and have loved thy law. | Samech Iniquos odio habui, et legem tuam dilexi. |
| 114 | Thou art my helper and my protector: and in thy word I have greatly hoped. | Adiutor et susceptor meus es tu, et in verbum tuum supersperavi. |
| 115 | Depart from me, ye malignant: and I will search the commandments of my God. | Declinate a me, maligni, et scrutabor mandata Dei mei. |
| 116 | Uphold me according to thy word, and I shall live: and let me not be confounded in my expectation. | Suscipe me secundum eloquium tuum, et vivam, et non confundas me ab exspectatione mea. |
| 117 | Help me, and I shall be saved: and I will meditate always on thy justifications. | Adiuva me, et salvus ero, et meditabor in iustificationibus tuis semper. |
| 118 | Thou hast despised all them that fall off from thy judgments; for their thought is unjust. | Sprevisti omnes discedentes a iudiciis tuis, quia iniusta cogitatio eorum. |
| 119 | I have accounted all the sinners of the earth prevaricators: therefore have I loved thy testimonies. | Praevaricantes reputavi omnes peccatores terrae; ideo dilexi testimonia tua. |
| 120 | Pierce thou my flesh with thy fear: for I am afraid of thy judgments. | Confige timore tuo carnes meas; a iudiciis enim tuis timui. |
| 121 | AIN. I have done judgment and justice: give me not up to them that slander me. | Ain Feci iudicium et iustitiam: non tradas me calumniantibus me. |
| 122 | Uphold thy servant unto good: let not the proud calumniate me. | Suscipe servum tuum in bonum: non calumnientur me superbi. |
| 123 | My eyes have fainted after thy salvation: and for the word of thy justice. | Oculi mei defecerunt in salutare tuum, et in eloquium iustitiae tuae. |
| 124 | Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy: and teach me thy justifications. | Fac cum servo tuo secundum misericordiam tuam, et iustificationes tuas doce me. |
| 125 | I am thy servant: give me understanding that I may know thy testimonies. | Servus tuus sum ego: da mihi intellectum, ut sciam testimonia tua. |
| 126 | It is time, O Lord, to do: they have dissipated thy law. | Tempus faciendi, Domine: dissipaverunt legem tuam. |
| 127 | Therefore have I loved thy commandments above gold and the topaz. | Ideo dilexi mandata tua super aurum et topazion. |
| 128 | Therefore was I directed to all thy commandments: I have hated all wicked ways. | Propterea ad omnia mandata tua dirigebar; omnem viam iniquam odio habui. |
| 129 | PHE. Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore my soul hath sought them. | Phe Mirabilia testimonia tua: ideo scrutata est ea anima mea. |
| 130 | The declaration of thy words giveth light: and giveth understanding to little ones. | Declaratio sermonum tuorum illuminat, et intellectum dat parvulis. |
| 131 | I opened my mouth and panted: because I longed for thy commandments. | Os meum aperui, et attraxi spiritum: quia mandata tua desiderabam. |
| 132 | Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me, according to the judgment of them that love thy name. | Aspice in me, et miserere mei, secundum iudicium diligentium nomen tuum. |
| 133 | Direct my steps according to thy word: and let no iniquity have dominion over me. | Gressus meos dirige secundum eloquium tuum, et non dominetur mei omnis iniustitia. |
| 134 | Redeem me from the calumnies of men: that I may keep thy commandments. | Redime me a calumniis hominum ut custodiam mandata tua. |
| 135 | Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: and teach me thy justifications. | Faciem tuam illumina super servum tuum, et doce me iustificationes tuas. |
| 136 | My eyes have sent forth springs of water: because they have not kept thy law. | Exitus aquarum deduxerunt oculi mei, quia non custodierunt legem tuam. |
| 137 | SADE. Thou art just, O Lord: and thy judgment is right. | Sade Iustus es, Domine, et rectum iudicium tuum. |
| 138 | Thou hast commanded justice thy testimonies: and thy truth exceedingly. | Mandasti iustitiam testimonia tua, et veritatem tuam nimis. |
| 139 | My zeal hath made me pine away: because my enemies forgot thy words. | Tabescere me fecit zelus meus, quia obliti sunt verba tua inimici mei. |
| 140 | Thy word is exceedingly refined: and thy servant hath loved it. | Ignitum eloquium tuum vehementer, et servus tuus dilexit illud. |
| 141 | I am very young and despised; but I forgot not thy justifications. | Adolescentulus sum ego et contemptus; iustificationes tuas non sum oblitus. |
| 142 | Thy justice is justice for ever: and thy law is the truth. | Iustitia tua, iustitia in aeternum, et lex tua veritas. |
| 143 | Trouble and anguish have found me: thy commandments are my meditation. | Tribulatio et angustia invenerunt me; mandata tua meditatio mea est. |
| 144 | Thy testimonies are justice for ever: give me understanding, and I shall live. | Aequitas testimonia tua in aeternum: intellectum da mihi, et vivam. |
| 145 | COPH. I cried with my whole heart, hear me, O Lord: I will seek thy justifications. | Coph Clamavi in toto corde meo: exaudi me, Domine; iustificationes tuas requiram. |
| 146 | I cried unto thee, save me: that I may keep thy commandments. | Clamavi ad te; salvum me fac: ut custodiam mandata tua. |
| 147 | I prevented the dawning of the day, and cried: because in thy words I very much hoped. | Praeveni in maturitate, et clamavi: quia in verba tua supersperavi. |
| 148 | My eyes to thee have prevented the morning: that I might meditate on thy words. | Praevenerunt oculi mei ad te diluculo, ut meditarer eloquia tua. |
| 149 | Hear thou my voice, O Lord, according to thy mercy: and quicken me according to thy mercy. | Vocem meam audi secundum misericordiam tuam, Domine, et secundum iudicium tuum vivifica me. |
| 150 | They that persecute me have drawn nigh to iniquity; but they are gone far off from the law. | Appropinquaverunt persequentes me iniquitati: a lege autem tua longe facti sunt. |
| 151 | Thou art near, O Lord: and all thy ways are truth. | Prope es tu, Domine, et omnes viae tuae veritas. |
| 152 | I have known from the beginning concerning thy testimonies: that thou hast founded them for ever. | Initio cognovi de testimoniis tuis, quia in aeternum fundasti ea. |
| 153 | RES. See my humiliation and deliver me: for I have not forgotten the law. | Res Vide humilitatem meam, et eripe me, quia legem tuam non sum oblitus. |
| 154 | Judge my judgment and redeem me: quicken thou me for thy word’s sake. | Iudica iudicium meum, et redime me: propter eloquium tuum vivifica me. |
| 155 | Salvation is far from sinners; because they have not sought thy justifications. | Longe a peccatoribus salus, quia iustificationes tuas non exquisierunt. |
| 156 | Many, O Lord, are thy mercies: quicken me according to thy judgment. | Misericordiae tuae multae, Domine; secundum iudicium tuum vivifica me. |
| 157 | Many are they that persecute me, and afflict me; but I have not declined from thy testimonies. | Multi qui persequuntur me, et tribulant me; a testimoniis tuis non declinavi. |
| 158 | I beheld the transgressors, and I pined away; because they kept not thy word. | Vidi praevaricantes et tabescebam, quia eloquia tua non custodierunt. |
| 159 | Behold I have loved thy commandments, O Lord; quicken me thou in thy mercy. | Vide quoniam mandata tua dilexi, Domine: in misericordia tua vivifica me. |
| 160 | The beginning of thy words is truth: all the judgments of thy justice are for ever. | Principium verborum tuorum veritas; in aeternum omnia iudicia iustitiae tuae. |
| 161 | SIN. Princes have persecuted me without cause: and my heart hath been in awe of thy words. | Sin Principes persecuti sunt me gratis, et a verbis tuis formidavit cor meum. |
| 162 | I will rejoice at thy words, as one that hath found great spoil. | Laetabor ego super eloquia tua, sicut qui invenit spolia multa. |
| 163 | I have hated and abhorred iniquity; but I have loved thy law. | Iniquitatem odio habui, et abominatus sum, legem autem tuam dilexi. |
| 164 | Seven times a day I have given praise to thee, for the judgments of thy justice. | Septies in die laudem dixi tibi, super iudicia iustitiae tuae. |
| 165 | Much peace have they that love thy law, and to them there is no stumbling block. | Pax multa diligentibus legem tuam, et non est illis scandalum. |
| 166 | I looked to thy salvation, O Lord: and I loved thy commandments. | Exspectabam salutare tuum, Domine, et mandata tua dilexi. |
| 167 | My soul hath kept thy testimonies: and hath loved them exceedingly. | Custodivit anima mea testimonia tua, et dilexit ea vehementer. |
| 168 | I have kept thy commandments and thy testimonies: because all my ways are in thy sight. | Servavi mandata tua et testimonia tua, quia omnes viae meae in conspectu tuo. |
| 169 | TAU. Let my supplication, O Lord, come near in thy sight: give me understanding according to thy word. | Tau Appropinquet deprecatio mea in conspectu tuo, Domine; iuxta eloquium tuum da mihi intellectum. |
| 170 | Let my request come in before thee; deliver thou me according to thy word. | Intret postulatio mea in conspectu tuo; secundum eloquium tuum eripe me. |
| 171 | My lips shall utter a hymn, when thou shalt teach me thy justifications. | Eructabunt labia mea hymnum, cum docueris me iustificationes tuas. |
| 172 | My tongue shall pronounce thy word: because all thy commandments are justice. | Pronuntiabit lingua mea eloquium tuum, quia omnia mandata tua aequitas. |
| 173 | Let thy hand be with me to save me; for I have chosen thy precepts. | Fiat manus tua ut salvet me, quoniam mandata tua elegi. |
| 174 | I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord; and thy law is my meditation. | Concupivi salutare tuum, Domine, et lex tua meditatio mea est. |
| 175 | My soul shall live and shall praise thee: and thy judgments shall help me. | Vivet anima mea, et laudabit te, et iudicia tua adiuvabunt me. |
| 176 | I have gone astray like a sheep that is lost: seek thy servant, because I have not forgotten thy commandments. | Erravi sicut ovis quae periit: quaere servum tuum, quia mandata tua non sum oblitus. |
