Psalm 119:113-152

113I hate double-minded people, but I love your law.

114You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word.

115Away from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commands of my God!

116Sustain me, my God, according to your promise, and I will live; do not let my hopes be dashed.

117Uphold me, and I will be delivered; I will always have regard for your decrees.

118You reject all who stray from your decrees, for their delusions come to nothing.

119All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross; therefore I love your statutes.

120My flesh trembles in fear of you; I stand in awe of your laws. ע Ayin

121I have done what is righteous and just; do not leave me to my oppressors.

122Ensure your servant’s well-being; do not let the arrogant oppress me.

123My eyes fail, looking for your salvation, looking for your righteous promise.

124Deal with your servant according to your love and teach me your decrees.

125I am your servant; give me discernment that I may understand your statutes.

126It is time for you to act, LORD ; your law is being broken.

127Because I love your commands more than gold, more than pure gold,

128and because I consider all your precepts right, I hate every wrong path. פ Pe

129Your statutes are wonderful; therefore I obey them.

130The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.

131I open my mouth and pant, longing for your commands.

132Turn to me and have mercy on me, as you always do to those who love your name.

133Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me.

134Redeem me from human oppression, that I may obey your precepts.

135Make your face shine on your servant and teach me your decrees.

136Streams of tears flow from my eyes, for your law is not obeyed. צ Tsadhe

137You are righteous, LORD, and your laws are right.

138The statutes you have laid down are righteous; they are fully trustworthy.

139My zeal wears me out, for my enemies ignore your words.

140Your promises have been thoroughly tested, and your servant loves them.

141Though I am lowly and despised, I do not forget your precepts.

142Your righteousness is everlasting and your law is true.

143Trouble and distress have come upon me, but your commands give me delight.

144Your statutes are always righteous; give me understanding that I may live. ק Qoph

145I call with all my heart; answer me, LORD, and I will obey your decrees.

146I call out to you; save me and I will keep your statutes.

147I rise before dawn and cry for help; I have put my hope in your word.

148My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promises.

149Hear my voice in accordance with your love; preserve my life, LORD, according to your laws.

150Those who devise wicked schemes are near, but they are far from your law.

151Yet you are near, LORD, and all your commands are true.

152Long ago I learned from your statutes that you established them to last forever. ר Resh
