2Blessed are those who keep His testimonies and seek Him with all their heart.2אַ֭שְׁרֵי נֹצְרֵ֥י עֵדֹתָ֗יו בְּכָל־ לֵ֥ב יִדְרְשֽׁוּהוּ׃
3They do no iniquity; they walk in His ways.3אַ֭ף לֹֽא־ פָעֲל֣וּ עַוְלָ֑ה בִּדְרָכָ֥יו הָלָֽכוּ׃
4You have ordained Your precepts, that we should keep them diligently.4אַ֭תָּה צִוִּ֥יתָה פִקֻּדֶ֗יךָ לִשְׁמֹ֥ר מְאֹֽד׃
5Oh, that my ways were committed to keeping Your statutes!5אַ֭חֲלַי יִכֹּ֥נוּ דְרָכָ֗י לִשְׁמֹ֥ר חֻקֶּֽיךָ׃
6Then I would not be ashamed when I consider all Your commandments.6אָ֥ז לֹא־ אֵב֑וֹשׁ בְּ֝הַבִּיטִ֗י אֶל־ כָּל־ מִצְוֺתֶֽיךָ׃
7I will praise You with an upright heart when I learn Your righteous judgments.7א֭וֹדְךָ בְּיֹ֣שֶׁר לֵבָ֑ב בְּ֝לָמְדִ֗י מִשְׁפְּטֵ֥י צִדְקֶֽךָ׃
8I will keep Your statutes; do not utterly forsake me.8אֶת־ חֻקֶּ֥יךָ אֶשְׁמֹ֑ר אַֽל־ תַּעַזְבֵ֥נִי עַד־ מְאֹֽד׃
9How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to Your word.9בַּמֶּ֣ה יְזַכֶּה־ נַּ֭עַר אֶת־ אָרְח֑וֹ לִ֝שְׁמֹ֗ר כִּדְבָרֶֽךָ׃
10With all my heart I have sought You; do not let me stray from Your commandments.10בְּכָל־ לִבִּ֥י דְרַשְׁתִּ֑יךָ אַל־ תַּ֝שְׁגֵּ֗נִי מִמִּצְוֺתֶֽיךָ׃
11I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You.11בְּ֭לִבִּי צָפַ֣נְתִּי אִמְרָתֶ֑ךָ לְ֝מַ֗עַן לֹ֣א אֶֽחֱטָא־ לָֽךְ׃

19I am a stranger on the earth; do not hide Your commandments from me.19גֵּ֣ר אָנֹכִ֣י בָאָ֑רֶץ אַל־ תַּסְתֵּ֥ר מִ֝מֶּ֗נִּי מִצְוֺתֶֽיךָ׃
20My soul is consumed with longing for Your judgments at all times.20גָּרְסָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֣י לְתַאֲבָ֑ה אֶֽל־ מִשְׁפָּטֶ֥יךָ בְכָל־ עֵֽת׃

120My flesh trembles in awe of You; I stand in fear of Your judgments.120סָמַ֣ר מִפַּחְדְּךָ֣ בְשָׂרִ֑י וּֽמִמִּשְׁפָּטֶ֥יךָ יָרֵֽאתִי׃
121I have done what is just and right; do not leave me to my oppressors.121עָ֭שִׂיתִי מִשְׁפָּ֣ט וָצֶ֑דֶק בַּל־ תַּ֝נִּיחֵ֗נִי לְעֹֽשְׁקָֽי׃
122Ensure Your servant’s well-being; do not let the arrogant oppress me.122עֲרֹ֣ב עַבְדְּךָ֣ לְט֑וֹב אַֽל־ יַעַשְׁקֻ֥נִי זֵדִֽים׃
123My eyes fail, looking for Your salvation, and for Your righteous promise.123עֵ֭ינַי כָּל֣וּ לִֽישׁוּעָתֶ֑ךָ וּלְאִמְרַ֥ת צִדְקֶֽךָ׃
124Deal with Your servant according to Your loving devotion, and teach me Your statutes.124עֲשֵׂ֖ה עִם־ עַבְדְּךָ֥ כְחַסְדֶּ֗ךָ וְחֻקֶּ֥יךָ לַמְּדֵֽנִי׃
125I am Your servant; give me understanding, that I may know Your testimonies.125עַבְדְּךָ־ אָ֥נִי הֲבִינֵ֑נִי וְ֝אֵדְעָ֗ה עֵדֹתֶֽיךָ׃
126It is time for the LORD to act, for they have broken Your law.126עֵ֭ת לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת לַיהוָ֑ה הֵ֝פֵ֗רוּ תּוֹרָתֶֽךָ׃
127Therefore I love Your commandments more than gold, even the purest gold.127עַל־ כֵּ֭ן אָהַ֣בְתִּי מִצְוֺתֶ֑יךָ מִזָּהָ֥ב וּמִפָּֽז׃
128Therefore I admire all Your precepts and hate every false way.128עַל־ כֵּ֤ן ׀ כָּל־ פִּקּ֣וּדֵי כֹ֣ל יִשָּׁ֑רְתִּי כָּל־ אֹ֖רַח שֶׁ֣קֶר שָׂנֵֽאתִי׃
129Wonderful are Your testimonies; therefore I obey them.129פְּלָא֥וֹת עֵדְוֺתֶ֑יךָ עַל־ כֵּ֝֗ן נְצָרָ֥תַם נַפְשִֽׁי׃
130The unfolding of Your words gives light; it informs the simple.130פֵּ֖תַח דְּבָרֶ֥יךָ יָאִ֗יר מֵבִ֥ין פְּתָיִֽים׃
131I open my mouth and pant, longing for Your commandments.131פִּֽי־ פָ֭עַרְתִּי וָאֶשְׁאָ֑פָה כִּ֖י לְמִצְוֺתֶ֣יךָ יָאָֽבְתִּי׃
132Turn to me and show me mercy, as You do to those who love Your name.132פְּנֵה־ אֵלַ֥י וְחָנֵּ֑נִי כְּ֝מִשְׁפָּ֗ט לְאֹהֲבֵ֥י שְׁמֶֽךָ׃
133Order my steps in Your word; let no sin rule over me.133פְּ֭עָמַי הָכֵ֣ן בְּאִמְרָתֶ֑ךָ וְֽאַל־ תַּשְׁלֶט־ בִּ֥י כָל־ אָֽוֶן׃
134Redeem me from the oppression of man, that I may keep Your precepts.134פְּ֭דֵנִי מֵעֹ֣שֶׁק אָדָ֑ם וְ֝אֶשְׁמְרָ֗ה פִּקּוּדֶֽיךָ׃
135Make Your face shine upon Your servant, and teach me Your statutes.135פָּ֭נֶיךָ הָאֵ֣ר בְּעַבְדֶּ֑ךָ וְ֝לַמְּדֵ֗נִי אֶת־ חֻקֶּֽיךָ׃
136My eyes shed streams of tears because Your law is not obeyed.136פַּלְגֵי־ מַ֭יִם יָרְד֣וּ עֵינָ֑י עַ֝֗ל לֹא־ שָׁמְר֥וּ תוֹרָתֶֽךָ׃
137Righteous are You, O LORD, and upright are Your judgments.137צַדִּ֣יק אַתָּ֣ה יְהוָ֑ה וְ֝יָשָׁ֗ר מִשְׁפָּטֶֽיךָ׃
138The testimonies You have laid down are righteous and altogether faithful.138צִ֭וִּיתָ צֶ֣דֶק עֵדֹתֶ֑יךָ וֶֽאֱמוּנָ֥ה מְאֹֽד׃
139My zeal has consumed me because my foes forget Your words.139צִמְּתַ֥תְנִי קִנְאָתִ֑י כִּֽי־ שָׁכְח֖וּ דְבָרֶ֣יךָ צָרָֽי׃
140Your promise is completely pure; therefore Your servant loves it.140צְרוּפָ֖ה אִמְרָתְךָ֥ מְאֹ֗ד וְֽעַבְדְּךָ֥ אֲהֵבָֽהּ׃
141I am lowly and despised, but I do not forget Your precepts.141צָעִ֣יר אָנֹכִ֣י וְנִבְזֶ֑ה פִּ֝קֻּדֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א שָׁכָֽחְתִּי׃
142Your righteousness is everlasting and Your law is true.142צִדְקָתְךָ֣ צֶ֣דֶק לְעוֹלָ֑ם וְֽתוֹרָתְךָ֥ אֱמֶֽת׃
143Trouble and distress have found me, but Your commandments are my delight.143צַר־ וּמָצ֥וֹק מְצָא֑וּנִי מִ֝צְוֺתֶ֗יךָ שַׁעֲשֻׁעָֽי׃
144Your testimonies are righteous forever. Give me understanding, that I may live.144צֶ֖דֶק עֵדְוֺתֶ֥יךָ לְעוֹלָ֗ם הֲבִינֵ֥נִי וְאֶחְיֶֽה׃
145I call with all my heart; answer me, O LORD! I will obey Your statutes.145קָרָ֣אתִי בְכָל־ לֵ֭ב עֲנֵ֥נִי יְהוָ֗ה חֻקֶּ֥יךָ אֶצֹּֽרָה׃
146I call to You; save me, that I may keep Your testimonies.146קְרָאתִ֥יךָ הוֹשִׁיעֵ֑נִי וְ֝אֶשְׁמְרָ֗ה עֵדֹתֶֽיךָ׃
147I rise before dawn and cry for help; in Your word I have put my hope.147קִדַּ֣מְתִּי בַ֭נֶּשֶׁף וָאֲשַׁוֵּ֑עָה [לדבריך] (לִדְבָרְךָ֥) יִחָֽלְתִּי׃
148My eyes anticipate the watches of night, that I may meditate on Your word.148קִדְּמ֣וּ עֵ֭ינַי אַשְׁמֻר֑וֹת לָ֝שִׂ֗יחַ בְּאִמְרָתֶֽךָ׃
149Hear my voice, O LORD, according to Your loving devotion; give me life according to Your justice.149ק֭וֹלִי שִׁמְעָ֣ה כְחַסְדֶּ֑ךָ יְ֝הוָ֗ה כְּֽמִשְׁפָּטֶ֥ךָ חַיֵּֽנִי׃
150Those who follow after wickedness draw near; they are far from Your law.150קָ֭רְבוּ רֹדְפֵ֣י זִמָּ֑ה מִתּוֹרָתְךָ֥ רָחָֽקוּ׃
151You are near, O LORD, and all Your commandments are true.151קָר֣וֹב אַתָּ֣ה יְהוָ֑ה וְֽכָל־ מִצְוֺתֶ֥יךָ אֱמֶֽת׃
152Long ago I learned from Your testimonies that You have established them forever.152קֶ֣דֶם יָ֭דַעְתִּי מֵעֵדֹתֶ֑יךָ כִּ֖י לְעוֹלָ֣ם יְסַדְתָּֽם׃
153Look upon my affliction and rescue me, for I have not forgotten Your law.153רְאֵֽה־ עָנְיִ֥י וְחַלְּצֵ֑נִי כִּי־ תֽ֝וֹרָתְךָ֗ לֹ֣א שָׁכָֽחְתִּי׃
154Defend my cause and redeem me; revive me according to Your word.154רִיבָ֣ה רִ֭יבִי וּגְאָלֵ֑נִי לְאִמְרָתְךָ֥ חַיֵּֽנִי׃
155Salvation is far from the wicked because they do not seek Your statutes.155רָח֣וֹק מֵרְשָׁעִ֣ים יְשׁוּעָ֑ה כִּֽי־ חֻ֝קֶּיךָ לֹ֣א דָרָֽשׁוּ׃
156Great are Your mercies, O LORD; revive me according to Your ordinances.156רַחֲמֶ֖יךָ רַבִּ֥ים ׀ יְהוָ֑ה כְּֽמִשְׁפָּטֶ֥יךָ חַיֵּֽנִי׃
157Though my persecutors and foes are many, I have not turned from Your testimonies.157רַ֭בִּים רֹדְפַ֣י וְצָרָ֑י מֵ֝עֵדְוֺתֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א נָטִֽיתִי׃
158I look on the faithless with loathing because they do not keep Your word.158רָאִ֣יתִי בֹ֭גְדִים וָֽאֶתְקוֹטָ֑טָה אֲשֶׁ֥ר אִ֝מְרָתְךָ֗ לֹ֣א שָׁמָֽרוּ׃
159Consider how I love Your precepts, O LORD; give me life according to Your loving devotion.159רְ֭אֵה כִּי־ פִקּוּדֶ֣יךָ אָהָ֑בְתִּי יְ֝הוָ֗ה כְּֽחַסְדְּךָ֥ חַיֵּֽנִי׃
160The entirety of Your word is truth, and all Your righteous judgments endure forever.160רֹאשׁ־ דְּבָרְךָ֥ אֱמֶ֑ת וּ֝לְעוֹלָ֗ם כָּל־ מִשְׁפַּ֥ט צִדְקֶֽךָ׃
161Rulers persecute me without cause, but my heart fears only Your word.161שָׂ֭רִים רְדָפ֣וּנִי חִנָּ֑ם [ומדבריך] (וּ֝מִדְּבָרְךָ֗) פָּחַ֥ד לִבִּֽי׃
162I rejoice in Your promise like one who finds great spoil.162שָׂ֣שׂ אָ֭נֹכִֽי עַל־ אִמְרָתֶ֑ךָ כְּ֝מוֹצֵ֗א שָׁלָ֥ל רָֽב׃
163I hate and abhor falsehood, but Your law I love.163שֶׁ֣קֶר שָׂ֭נֵאתִי וַאֲתַעֵ֑בָה תּוֹרָתְךָ֥ אָהָֽבְתִּי׃
164Seven times a day I praise You for Your righteous judgments.164שֶׁ֣בַע בַּ֭יּוֹם הִלַּלְתִּ֑יךָ עַ֝֗ל מִשְׁפְּטֵ֥י צִדְקֶֽךָ׃
165Abundant peace belongs to those who love Your instruction; nothing can make them stumble.165שָׁל֣וֹם רָ֭ב לְאֹהֲבֵ֣י תוֹרָתֶ֑ךָ וְאֵֽין־ לָ֥מוֹ מִכְשֽׁוֹל׃
166I wait for Your salvation, O LORD, and I carry out Your commandments.166שִׂבַּ֣רְתִּי לִֽישׁוּעָתְךָ֣ יְהוָ֑ה וּֽמִצְוֺתֶ֥יךָ עָשִֽׂיתִי׃
167I obey Your testimonies and love them greatly.167שָֽׁמְרָ֣ה נַ֭פְשִׁי עֵדֹתֶ֑יךָ וָאֹהֲבֵ֥ם מְאֹֽד׃
168I obey Your precepts and Your testimonies, for all my ways are before You.168שָׁמַ֣רְתִּי פִ֭קּוּדֶיךָ וְעֵדֹתֶ֑יךָ כִּ֖י כָל־ דְּרָכַ֣י נֶגְדֶּֽךָ׃
169May my cry come before You, O LORD; give me understanding according to Your word.169תִּקְרַ֤ב רִנָּתִ֣י לְפָנֶ֣יךָ יְהוָ֑ה כִּדְבָרְךָ֥ הֲבִינֵֽנִי׃
170May my plea come before You; rescue me according to Your promise.170תָּב֣וֹא תְּחִנָּתִ֣י לְפָנֶ֑יךָ כְּ֝אִמְרָתְךָ֗ הַצִּילֵֽנִי׃
171My lips pour forth praise, for You teach me Your statutes.171תַּבַּ֣עְנָה שְׂפָתַ֣י תְּהִלָּ֑ה כִּ֖י תְלַמְּדֵ֣נִי חֻקֶּֽיךָ׃
172My tongue sings of Your word, for all Your commandments are righteous.172תַּ֣עַן לְ֭שׁוֹנִי אִמְרָתֶ֑ךָ כִּ֖י כָל־ מִצְוֺתֶ֣יךָ צֶּֽדֶק׃
173May Your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen Your precepts.173תְּהִֽי־ יָדְךָ֥ לְעָזְרֵ֑נִי כִּ֖י פִקּוּדֶ֣יךָ בָחָֽרְתִּי׃
174I long for Your salvation, O LORD, and Your law is my delight.174תָּאַ֣בְתִּי לִֽישׁוּעָתְךָ֣ יְהוָ֑ה וְ֝תֽוֹרָתְךָ֗ שַׁעֲשֻׁעָֽי׃
175Let me live to praise You; may Your judgments sustain me.175תְּֽחִי־ נַ֭פְשִׁי וּֽתְהַֽלְלֶ֑ךָּ וּֽמִשְׁפָּטֶ֥ךָ יַעֲזְרֻֽנִי׃
176I have strayed like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, for I have not forgotten Your commandments.176תָּעִ֗יתִי כְּשֶׂ֣ה אֹ֭בֵד בַּקֵּ֣שׁ עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ כִּ֥י מִ֝צְוֺתֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א שָׁכָֽחְתִּי׃
