In the night, O Jehovah,

Be gracious to me according to Your word.

Psa. 119 :59 119:59 I considered my ways
And turned my feet toward Your testimonies.

Psa. 119 :60 119:60 I hurried and did not delay
To keep Your commandments.

Psa. 119 :61 119:61 The cords of the wicked surround me,
But I have not forgotten Your law.

Psa. 119 :62 119:62 At ^amidnight I rise up to give thanks to You

But I delight in Your law.

Psa. 119 :71 119:71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted,
That I might learn Your statutes.

Psa. 119 :72 119:72 The law of Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of pieces of ^agold and silver.י (Yodh)

Psa. 119 :73 119:73 Your hands have ^amade me and fashioned me;
Give me understanding that I may learn Your commandments.

Psa. 119 :74 119:74 Those who fear You will see me and rejoice,
For I have hoped in Your word.

And that in faithfulness You afflicted me.

Psa. 119 :76 119:76 Let Your lovingkindness, I beseech You, be my comfort,
According to Your word to Your servant.

That I may not be put to shame.כ (Kaph)

Psa. 119 :81 119:81 My soul faints while longing for Your salvation;
I hope in Your word.

Psa. 119 :82 119:82 My eyes faint while longing for Your word,
As I say, When will You comfort me?

Psa. 119 :83 119:83 For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke;
But I do not forget Your statutes.

Psa. 119 :84 119:84 How many are the days of Your servant?
When will You execute justice upon my persecutors?

Psa. 119 :85 119:85 The proud have dug pits for me,
Those who are not according to Your law.

Psa. 119 :86 119:86 All Your commandments are faithful;
They persecute me falsely; help me.

Psa. 119 :87 119:87 They have almost consumed me upon the earth;
But I have not forsaken Your precepts.

Psa. 119 :88 119:88 ^aEnliven me according to Your lovingkindness,
And I will keep the testimony of Your mouth.ל (Lamedh)

Psa. 119 :89 119:89 Forever, O Jehovah,
Does Your ^aword stand firm in heaven.

Psa. 119 :90 119:90 Your faithfulness is from generation to generation;
You established the earth, and it abides.

Psa. 119 :91 119:91 They abide to this day according to Your ordinances,
For all things are Your servants.

Psa. 119 :92 119:92 Unless Your law had been my delight,
I would have perished in my affliction.

Psa. 119 :93 119:93 I will never forget Your precepts,
For by them You have enlivened me.

Psa. 119 :94 119:94 I ^aam Yours; save me,
For I have sought Your precepts.

Psa. 119 :95 119:95 The wicked have waited for me in order to destroy me,
But I consider Your testimonies.

Psa. 119 :96 119:96 I have seen an end to all perfection,
But Your commandment is all-expansive.מ (Mem)

Psa. 119 :97 119:97 Oh, how I love Your law!
All day long it is my musing.

Psa. 119 :98 119:98 Your commandments make me ^awiser than my enemies,
For they are always with me.

Psa. 119 :99 119:99 I have more insight than all my teachers,
For Your testimonies are my musing.

Psa. 119 :100 119:100 I understand more than the aged,
For I have kept Your precepts.

That I might keep Your word.

Psa. 119 :102 119:102 I have not turned aside from Your ordinances,
For You have taught me.

Psa. 119 :103 119:103 How sweet are Your words to my taste!
^aSweeter than honey to my mouth!

Psa. 119 :104 119:104 Through Your precepts I gain understanding;
Therefore I hate every false way.נ (Nun)

Psa. 119 :105 119:105 Your word is a ^alamp to my feet
And a ^blight to my path.

Psa. 119 :106 119:106 I have sworn and will confirm it,
That I will keep Your righteous ordinances.

Psa. 119 :107 119:107 I have been greatly afflicted;
O Jehovah, ^aenliven me according to Your word.

Psa. 119 :108 119:108 Accept, I pray, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Jehovah;
And teach me Your ordinances.

Psa. 119 :109 119:109 My soul is continually in my hand,
But I do not forget Your law.

Psa. 119 :110 119:110 The wicked have laid a trap for me,
But I do not stray from Your precepts.

For they are the gladness of my heart.

Psa. 119 :112 119:112 I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes
Forever, to the end.ס (Samekh)

Psa. 119 :113 119:113 I hate those who are double-minded,
But I love Your law.

Psa. 119 :114 119:114 You are my hiding place and my shield;
In Your word do I hope.

Psa. 119 :115 119:115 Depart from me, you evildoers,
That I may keep the commandments of my God.

Psa. 119 :116 119:116 Uphold me according to Your word that I may live,
And do not let me be ashamed of my hope.

Psa. 119 :117 119:117 Hold me up that I may be safe,
And I will regard Your statutes continually.

Psa. 119 :118 119:118 You spurn all those who stray from Your statutes,
For their deceitfulness is vain.

Psa. 119 :119 119:119 You do away with all the wicked ones of the earth like dross;
Therefore I love Your testimonies.

Psa. 119 :120 119:120 My flesh trembles for fear of You,
And I am afraid of Your judgments.ע (Ayin)

Psa. 119 :121 119:121 I have performed justice and righteousness;
Do not leave me to my oppressors.

Psa. 119 :122 119:122 Guarantee Your servant’s well-being;
Do not let the proud oppress me.

Psa. 119 :123 119:123 My eyes faint while longing for Your salvation
And for Your righteous word.

And teach me Your statutes.

Psa. 119 :125 119:125 I am Your servant; give me understanding,
That I may know Your testimonies.

Psa. 119 :126 119:126 It is time for Jehovah to act,
For they have broken Your law.

Psa. 119 :127 119:127 Therefore I love Your commandments
More than ^agold, indeed, more than fine gold;

Psa. 119 :128 119:128 Therefore I esteem all Your precepts concerning all things to be right,
And I hate every false way.פ (Pe)

Psa. 119 :129 119:129 Your testimonies are wonderful;
Therefore my soul keeps them.

Psa. 119 :130 119:130 The ¹opening of Your words gives ^alight,
Imparting understanding to the simple.

That I may keep Your precepts.

Psa. 119 :135 119:135 Cause Your ^aface to shine on Your servant,
And teach me Your statutes.

Because ¹men do not keep Your law.צ (Tsadhe)

They are far from Your law.
