|
131. I opened H6473 my mouth H6310 , and panted H7602 : for H3588 I longed H2968 for thy commandments H4687 .
|
|

|
132. Look H6437 thou upon H413 me , and be merciful H2603 unto me , as thou usest to do H4941 unto those that love H157 thy name H8034 .
|
|
133. As you have promised, keep me from falling; don't let me be overcome by evil.
|
133. Order H3559 my steps H6471 in thy word H565 : and let not H408 any H3605 iniquity H205 have dominion H7980 over me.
|

|
135. Make thy face H6440 to shine H215 upon thy servant H5650 ; and teach H3925 me H853 thy statutes H2706 .
|
|
136. My tears pour down like a river, because people do not obey your law.
|
136. Rivers H6388 of waters H4325 run down H3381 mine eyes H5869 , because H5921 they keep H8104 not H3808 thy law H8451 .
|
|
137. You are righteous, LORD, and your laws are just.
|
137. Righteous H6662 art thou H859 , O LORD H3068 , and upright H3477 are thy judgments H4941 .
|
|
138. The rules that you have given are completely fair and right.
|
138. Thy testimonies H5713 that thou hast commanded H6680 are righteous H6664 and very H3966 faithful H530 .

139. My anger burns in me like a fire, because my enemies disregard your commands.
|
139. My zeal H7068 hath consumed H6789 me, because H3588 mine enemies H6862 have forgotten H7911 thy words H1697 .
|
|
140. How certain your promise is! How I love it!
|
140. Thy word H565 is very H3966 pure H6884 : therefore thy servant H5650 loveth H157 it.
|
|
141. I am unimportant and despised, but I do not neglect your teachings.
|
141. I H595 am small H6810 and despised H959 : yet do not H3808 I forget H7911 thy precepts H6490 .

|
142. Thy righteousness H6666 is an everlasting H5769 righteousness H6664 , and thy law H8451 is the truth H571 .
|
|
143. I am filled with trouble and anxiety, but your commandments bring me joy.

|
145. With all my heart I call to you; answer me, LORD, and I will obey your commands!
|
145. I cried H7121 with my whole H3605 heart H3820 ; hear H6030 me , O LORD H3068 : I will keep H5341 thy statutes H2706 .

|
147. I prevented H6923 the dawning H5399 of the morning , and cried H7768 : I hoped H3176 in thy word H1697 .
|
|
148. All night long I lie awake, to meditate on your instructions.
|
148. Mine eyes H5869 prevent H6923 the night watches H821 , that I might meditate H7878 in thy word H565 .
|
|
149. Because your love is constant, hear me, O LORD; show your mercy, and preserve my life!
|
149. Hear H8085 my voice H6963 according unto thy lovingkindness H2617 : O LORD H3068 , quicken H2421 me according to thy judgment H4941 .
|
|
150. My cruel persecutors are coming closer, people who never keep your law.
|
150. They draw nigh H7126 that follow after H7291 mischief H2154 : they are far H7368 from thy law H4480 H8451 .
|
|
151. But you are near to me, LORD, and all your commands are permanent.
|
151. Thou H859 art near H7138 , O LORD H3068 ; and all H3605 thy commandments H4687 are truth H571 .
|
|
152. Long ago I learned about your instructions; you made them to last forever.

|
154. Plead H7378 my cause H7379 , and deliver H1350 me: quicken H2421 me according to thy word H565 .
|
|
155. The wicked will not be saved, for they do not obey your laws.
|
155. Salvation H3444 is far H7350 from the wicked H4480 H7563 : for H3588 they seek H1875 not H3808 thy statutes H2706 .
|
|
156. But your compassion, LORD, is great; show your mercy and save me!
|
156. Great H7227 are thy tender mercies H7356 , O LORD H3068 : quicken H2421 me according to thy judgments H4941 .

|
157. I have many enemies and oppressors, but I do not fail to obey your laws.
|
157. Many H7227 are my persecutors H7291 and mine enemies H6862 ; yet do I not H3808 decline H5186 from thy testimonies H4480 H5715 .
|
|
158. When I look at those traitors, I am filled with disgust, because they do not keep your commands.
|
158. I beheld H7200 the transgressors H898 , and was grieved H6962 ; because H834 they kept H8104 not H3808 thy word H565 .
|
|
159. See how I love your instructions, LORD. Your love never changes, so save me!
|
159. Consider H7200 how H3588 I love H157 thy precepts H6490 : quicken H2421 me , O LORD H3068 , according to thy lovingkindness H2617 .
|
|
160. The heart of your law is truth, and all your righteous judgments are eternal.
|
160. Thy word H1697 is true H571 from the beginning H7218 : and every one H3605 of thy righteous H6664 judgments H4941 endureth forever H5769 .
|
|
161. Powerful people attack me unjustly, but I respect your law.
|
161. Princes H8269 have persecuted H7291 me without a cause H2600 : but my heart H3820 standeth in awe H6342 of thy word H4480 H1697 .
|
|
162. How happy I am because of your promises--- as happy as someone who finds rich treasure.
|
162. I H595 rejoice H7797 at H5921 thy word H565 , as one that findeth H4672 great H7227 spoil H7998 .

164. Seven H7651 times a day H3117 do I praise H1984 thee because of H5921 thy righteous H6664 judgments H4941 .
|
|
165. Those who love your law have perfect security, and there is nothing that can make them fall.
|
165. Great H7227 peace H7965 have they which love H157 thy law H8451 : and nothing H369 shall offend H4383 them.
|
|
166. I wait for you to save me, LORD, and I do what you command.
|
166. LORD H3068 , I have hoped H7663 for thy salvation H3444 , and done H6213 thy commandments H4687 .
|
|
167. I obey your teachings; I love them with all my heart.
|
167. My soul H5315 hath kept H8104 thy testimonies H5713 ; and I love H157 them exceedingly H3966 .
|
