[50] This is my comfort H5165 in my affliction: H6040
For thy word H565 hath quickened H2421 (PielPerf) me.
[51] The proud H2086 have had me greatly H3966 in derision: H3887 (HiphPerf)
Yet have I not declined H5186 (QalPerf) from thy law. H8451
[52] I remembered H2142 (QalPerf) thy judgments H4941 of old, H5769
O Lord; H3068 And have comforted H5162 (HithImpf) myself.
[53] Horror H2152 hath taken hold H270 (QalPerf) upon me
Because of the wicked H7563 that forsake H5800 (QalActPtc) thy law. H8451
[54] Thy statutes H2706 have been my songs H2158
In the house H1004 of my pilgrimage. H4033
[55] I have remembered H2142 (QalPerf) thy name, H8034 O Lord, H3068 in the night, H3915 and have kept H8104 (QalImpf) thy law. H8451

Be merciful H2603 (QalImpv) unto me according to thy word. H565
[59] I thought H2803 (PielPerf) on my ways, H1870
And turned H7725 (HiphImpf) my feet H7272 unto thy testimonies. H5713
[60] I made haste, H2363 (QalPerf) and delayed H4102 (HippPerf) not
To keep H8104 (QalInf) thy commandments. H4687
[61] The bands H2256§ of the wicked H7563 have robbed H5749 (PielPerf) me:
But I have not forgotten H7911 (QalPerf) thy law. H8451
[62] At midnight H2676 I will rise H6965 (QalImpf) to give thanks H3034 (HiphInf) unto thee
Because of thy righteous H6664 judgments. H4941
[63] I am a companion H2270 of all them
That fear H3372 (QalPerf) thee, and of them that keep H8104 (QalActPtc) thy precepts. H6490
[64] The earth, H776 O Lord, H3068 is full H4390 (QalPerf) of
Thy mercy: H2617 Teach H3925 (PielImpv) me thy statutes. H2706

[65] Thou hast dealt H6213 (QalPerf) well H2896 with thy servant, H5650
O Lord, H3068 according unto thy word. H1697
[66] Teach H3925 (PielImpv) me good H2898 judgment H2940 and knowledge: H1847
For I have believed H539 (HiphPerf) thy commandments. H4687
[67] Before I was afflicted H6031 (QalImpf) I went astray: H7683 (QalActPtc)
But now have I kept H8104 (QalPerf) thy word. H565
[68] Thou art good, H2896 and doest good; H2895 (HiphPtc)
Teach H3925 (PielImpv) me thy statutes. H2706
[69] The proud H2086 have forged H2950 (QalPerf) a lie H8267 against me:
But I will keep H5341 (QalImpf) thy precepts H6490 with my whole heart. H3820
[70] Their heart H3820 is as fat H2954 (QalPerf) as grease; H2459
But I delight H8173 (PilpPerf) in thy law. H8451
[71] It is good H2896 for me that I have been afflicted; H6031 (PualPerf)
That I might learn H3925 (QalImpf) thy statutes. H2706
[72] The law H8451 of thy mouth H6310 is better H2896 unto me
Than thousands H505 of gold H2091 and silver. H3701

י Yod

[73] Thy hands H3027 have made H6213 (QalPerf) me and fashioned H3559 (PoleImpf) me:
Give me understanding, H995 (HiphImpv) that I may learn H3925 (QalImpf) thy commandments. H4687
[74] They that fear H3373 thee will be glad H8055 (QalImpf) when they see H7200 (QalImpf) me;
Because I have hoped H3176 (PielPerf) in thy word. H1697
[75] I know, H3045 (QalPerf) O Lord, H3068 that thy judgments H4941 are right,§ H6664
And that thou in faithfulness H530 hast afflicted H6031 (PielPerf) me.
[76] Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness H2617 be for my comfort, H5162 (PielInf)§
According to thy word H565 unto thy servant. H5650
[77] Let thy tender mercies H7356 come H935 (QalImpf) unto me, that I may live: H2421 (QalImpf)
For thy law H8451 is my delight. H8191
[78] Let the proud H2086 be ashamed; H954 (QalImpf) for they dealt perversely H5791 (PielPerf) with me without a cause: H8267
But I will meditate H7878 (QalImpf) in thy precepts. H6490
[79] Let those that fear H3373 thee turn H7725 (QalImpf) unto me,
And those that have known H3045 (QalActPtc/Qere) thy testimonies. H5713
[80] Let my heart H3820 be sound H8549 in thy statutes; H2706
That I be not ashamed. H954 (QalImpf)

כ Kaph

[81] My soul H5315 fainteth H3615 (QalPerf) for thy salvation: H8668
But I hope H3176 (PielPerf) in thy word. H1697
[82] Mine eyes H5869 fail H3615 (QalPerf) for thy word, H565
Saying, H559 (QalInf) When wilt thou comfort H5162 (PielImpf) me?
[83] For I am become like a bottle H4997 in the smoke; H7008
Yet do I not forget H7911 (QalPerf) thy statutes. H2706
[84] How many are the days H3117 of thy servant? H5650
When wilt thou execute H6213 (QalImpf) judgment H4941 on them that persecute H7291 (QalActPtc) me?
[85] The proud H2086 have digged H3738 (QalPerf) pits H7882 for me,
Which are not after thy law. H8451
[86] All thy commandments H4687 are faithful:§ H530
They persecute H7291 (QalPerf) me wrongfully; H8267 help H5826 (QalImpv) thou me.
[87] They had almost H4592 consumed H3615 (PielPerf) me upon earth; H776
But I forsook H5800 (QalPerf) not thy precepts. H6490
[88] Quicken H2421 (PielImpv) me after thy lovingkindness; H2617
So shall I keep H8104 (QalImpf) the testimony H5715 of thy mouth. H6310

[89] For ever, H5769 O Lord, H3068 Thy word H1697
Is settled H5324 (NiphPtc) in heaven. H8064
[90] Thy faithfulness H530 is unto all H1755 generations: H1755§
Thou hast established H3559 (PolePerf) the earth, H776 and it abideth. H5975 (QalImpf)§
[91] They continue H5975 (QalPerf) this day H3117 according to thine ordinances: H4941
For all are thy servants. H5650
[92] Unless H3884 thy law H8451 had been my delights, H8191
I should then have perished H6 (QalPerf) in mine affliction. H6040
[93] I will never H5769 forget H7911 (QalImpf) thy precepts: H6490
For with them thou hast quickened H2421 (PielPerf) me.
[94] I am thine, save H3467 (HiphImpv) me;
For I have sought H1875 (QalPerf) thy precepts. H6490
[95] The wicked H7563 have waited H6960 (PielPerf) for me to destroy H6 (PielInf) me:
But I will consider H995 (HiplImpf) thy testimonies. H5713
[96] I have seen H7200 (QalPerf) an end H7093 of all perfection: H8502
But thy commandment H4687 is exceeding H3966 broad. H7342

מ Mem

[97] O how love I H157 (QalPerf) thy law! H8451
It is my meditation H7881 all the day. H3117
[98] Thou through thy commandments H4687 hast made me wiser H2449 (PielImpf) than mine enemies: H341 (QalActPtc)
For they are ever H5769 with me.§
[99] I have more understanding H7919 (HiphPerf) than all my teachers: H3925 (PielPtc)
For thy testimonies H5715 are my meditation. H7881
[100] I understand H995 (HiplImpf) more than the ancients, H2205
Because I keep H5341 (QalPerf) thy precepts. H6490
[101] I have refrained H3607 (QalPerf) my feet H7272 from every evil H7451 way, H734
That I might keep H8104 (QalImpf) thy word. H1697
[102] I have not departed H5493 (QalPerf)
From thy judgments: H4941 For thou hast taught H3384 (HiphPerf) me.
[103] How sweet H4452 (NiphPerf) are thy words H565 unto my taste! H2441§
Yea, sweeter than honey H1706 to my mouth! H6310
[104] Through thy precepts H6490 I get understanding: H995 (HiplImpf)
Therefore I hate H8130 (QalPerf) every false H8267 way. H734

[105] Thy word H1697 is a lamp§ H5216 unto my feet, H7272
And a light H216 unto my path. H5410
[106] I have sworn, H7650 (NiphPerf) and I will perform H6965 (PielImpf) it,
That I will keep H8104 (QalInf) thy righteous H6664 judgments. H4941
[107] I am afflicted H6031 (NiphPerf) very much: H3966
Quicken H2421 (PielImpv) me, O Lord, H3068 according unto thy word. H1697
[108] Accept, H7521 (QalImpv) I beseech thee, the freewill offerings H5071 of my mouth, H6310 O Lord, H3068
And teach H3925 (PielImpv) me thy judgments. H4941
[109] My soul H5315 is continually H8548 in my hand: H3709
Yet do I not forget H7911 (QalPerf) thy law. H8451
[110] The wicked H7563 have laid H5414 (QalPerf) a snare H6341 for me:
Yet I erred H8582 (QalPerf) not from thy precepts. H6490
[111] Thy testimonies H5715 have I taken as an heritage H5157 (QalPerf) for ever: H5769
For they are the rejoicing H8342 of my heart. H3820
[112] I have inclined H5186 (QalPerf) mine heart H3820 to perform H6213 (QalInf)§ thy statutes H2706
Alway, H5769 even unto the end. H6118

[113] I hate H8130 (QalPerf) vain thoughts: H5588
But thy law H8451 do I love. H157 (QalPerf)
[114] Thou art my hiding place H5643 and my shield: H4043
I hope H3176 (PielPerf) in thy word. H1697
[115] Depart H5493 (QalImpv) from me, ye evildoers: H7489 (HiphPtc)
For I will keep H5341 (QalImpf) the commandments H4687 of my God. H430
[116] Uphold H5564 (QalImpv) me according unto thy word, H565 that I may live: H2421 (QalImpf)
And let me not be ashamed H954 (HiphImpf) of my hope. H7664
[117] Hold thou me up, H5582 (QalImpv) and I shall be safe: H3467 (NiphImpf)
And I will have respect H8159 (QalImpf) unto thy statutes H2706 continually. H8548
[118] Thou hast trodden down H5541 (QalPerf) all them that err H7686 (QalActPtc) from thy statutes: H2706
For their deceit H8649 is falsehood. H8267
[119] Thou puttest away H7673 (HiphPerf)§ all the wicked H7563 of the earth H776 like dross: H5509
Therefore I love H157 (QalPerf) thy testimonies. H5713
[120] My flesh H1320 trembleth H5568 (QalPerf) for fear H6343 of thee;
And I am afraid H3372 (QalPerf) of thy judgments. H4941

[121] I have done H6213 (QalPerf) judgment H4941 and justice: H6664
Leave H3240 (HiphImpf) me not to mine oppressors. H6231 (QalActPtc)
[122] Be surety H6148 (QalImpv) for thy servant H5650 for good: H2896
Let not the proud H2086 oppress H6231 (QalImpf) me.
[123] Mine eyes H5869 fail H3615 (QalPerf) for thy salvation, H3444
And for the word H565 of thy righteousness. H6664
[124] Deal H6213 (QalImpv) with thy servant H5650 according unto thy mercy, H2617
And teach H3925 (PielImpv) me thy statutes. H2706
[125] I am thy servant; H5650 give me understanding, H995 (HiphImpv)
That I may know H3045 (QalImpf) thy testimonies. H5713
[126] It is time H6256 for thee, Lord, H3068 to work: H6213 (QalInf)
For they have made void H6565 (HiphPerf) thy law. H8451
[127] Therefore I love H157 (QalPerf) thy commandments H4687
Above gold; H2091 yea, above fine gold. H6337
[128] Therefore I esteem all thy precepts H6490 concerning all things to be right; H3474 (PielPerf)
And I hate H8130 (QalPerf) every false H8267 way. H734

[129] Thy testimonies H5715 are wonderful: H6382
Therefore doth my soul H5315 keep H5341 (QalPerf) them.
[130] The entrance H6608 of thy words H1697 giveth light; H215 (HiphImpf)
It giveth understanding H995 (HiphPtc) unto the simple. H6612
[131] I opened H6473 (QalPerf) my mouth, H6310 and panted: H7602 (QalImpf)
For I longed H2968 (QalPerf) for thy commandments. H4687
[132] Look H6437 (QalImpv) thou upon me, and be merciful H2603 (QalImpv) unto me,
As thou usest H4941 to do unto those§ that love H157 (QalActPtc) thy name. H8034
[133] Order H3559 (HiphImpv) my steps H6471 in thy word: H565
And let not any iniquity H205 have dominion H7980 (HiphImpf) over me.
[134] Deliver H6299 (QalImpv) me from the oppression H6233 of man: H120
So will I keep H8104 (QalImpf) thy precepts. H6490
[135] Make thy face H6440 to shine H215 (HiphImpv) upon thy servant; H5650
And teach H3925 (PielImpv) me thy statutes. H2706
[136] Rivers H6388 of waters H4325 run down H3381 (QalPerf) mine eyes, H5869
Because they keep H8104 (QalPerf) not thy law. H8451

[137] Righteous H6662 art thou, O Lord, H3068
And upright H3477 are thy judgments. H4941
[138] Thy testimonies H5713 that thou hast commanded H6680 (PielPerf)
are righteous§ H6664 and very H3966 faithful. H530§
[139] My zeal H7068 hath consumed H6789 (PielPerf) me,§
Because mine enemies H6862 have forgotten H7911 (QalPerf) thy words. H1697
[140] Thy word H565 is very H3966 pure: H6884 (QalPasPtc)§
Therefore thy servant H5650 loveth H157 (QalPerf) it.
[141] I am small H6810 and despised: H959 (NiphPtc)
Yet do not I forget H7911 (QalPerf) thy precepts. H6490
[142] Thy righteousness H6666 is an everlasting H5769 righteousness, H6664
And thy law H8451 is the truth. H571
[143] Trouble H6862 and anguish H4689 have taken hold H4672 (QalPerf)§ on me:
Yet thy commandments H4687 are my delights. H8191

Give me understanding, H995 (HiphImpv) and I shall live. H2421 (QalImpf)

save H3467 (HiphImpv) me, and I shall keep H8104 (QalImpf) thy testimonies. H5713§
[147] I prevented H6923 (PielPerf) the dawning of the morning, H5399 and cried: H7768 (PielImpf)
I hoped H3176 (PielPerf) in thy word. H1697
[148] Mine eyes H5869 prevent H6923 (PielPerf) the night watches, H821
That I might meditate H7878 (QalInf) in thy word. H565
[149] Hear H8085 (QalImpv) my voice H6963 according unto thy lovingkindness: H2617
O Lord, H3068 quicken H2421 (PielImpv) me according to thy judgment. H4941
[150] They draw nigh H7126 (QalPerf) that follow H7291 (QalActPtc) after mischief: H2154
They are far H7368 (QalPerf) from thy law. H8451
[151] Thou art near, H7138 O Lord; H3068
And all thy commandments H4687 are truth. H571
[152] Concerning thy testimonies, H5713 I have known H3045 (QalPerf) of old H6924
That thou hast founded H3245 (QalPerf) them for ever. H5769

Quicken H2421 (PielImpv) me according to thy judgments. H4941

Quicken H2421 (PielImpv) me, O Lord, H3068 according to thy lovingkindness. H2617
