2	<V 118:2>Blessed are those who examine his testimonies. They seek him with their whole heart.	Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart,	Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart—
3	<V 118:3>For those who work iniquity have not walked in his ways.	who also do no wrong, but walk in his ways!	they do no wrong but follow his ways.
4	<V 118:4>You have ordered your commandments to be kept most diligently.	You have commanded your precepts to be kept diligently.	You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed.
5	<V 118:5>I wish that my ways may be directed so as to keep your justifications.	Oh that my ways may be steadfast in keeping your statutes!	Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees!
6	<V 118:6>Then I will not be confounded, when I will look into all your commandments.	Then I shall not be put to shame, having my eyes fixed on all your commandments.	Then I would not be put to shame when I consider all your commands.
7	<V 118:7>I will confess to you with honesty of heart. In this way, I have learned the judgments of your justice.	I will praise you with an upright heart, when I learn your righteous rules.	I will praise you with an upright heart as I learn your righteous laws.
8	<V 118:8>I will keep your justifications. Do not utterly abandon me.	I will keep your statutes; do not utterly forsake me!	I will obey your decrees; do not utterly forsake me.
9	<V 118:9>BETH. By what does an adolescent correct his way? By keeping to your words.	How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word.	How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word.
10	<V 118:10>With my whole heart, I have sought you. Do not let me be driven away from your commandments.	With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments!	I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.
11	<V 118:11>I have hidden your eloquence in my heart, so that I may not sin against you.	I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.	I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
12	<V 118:12>Blessed are you, O Lord. Teach me your justifications.	Blessed are you, O LORD; teach me your statutes!	Praise be to you, LORD; teach me your decrees.
13	<V 118:13>With my lips, I have pronounced all the judgments of your mouth.	With my lips I declare all the rules of your mouth.	With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth.
14	<V 118:14>I have been delighted in the way of your testimonies, as if in all riches.	In the way of your testimonies I delight as much as in all riches.	I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches.
15	<V 118:15>I will be trained in your commandments, and I will consider your ways.	I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways.	I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.

19	<V 118:19>I am a sojourner on the earth. Do not hide your commandments from me.	I am a sojourner on the earth; hide not your commandments from me!	I am a stranger on earth; do not hide your commands from me.
20	<V 118:20>My soul has longed to desire your justifications at all times.	My soul is consumed with longing for your rules at all times.	My soul is consumed with longing for your laws at all times.
21	<V 118:21>You have rebuked the arrogant. Those who decline from your commandments are accursed.	You rebuke the insolent, accursed ones, who wander from your commandments.	You rebuke the arrogant, who are accursed, those who stray from your commands.

23	<V 118:23>For even the leaders sat and spoke against me. But your servant has been trained in your justifications.	Even though princes sit plotting against me, your servant will meditate on your statutes.	Though rulers sit together and slander me, your servant will meditate on your decrees.
24	<V 118:24>For your testimonies are also my meditation, and your justifications are my counsel.	Your testimonies are my delight; they are my counselors.	Your statutes are my delight; they are my counselors.
25	<V 118:25>DALETH. My soul has adhered to the pavement. Revive me according to your word.	My soul clings to the dust; give me life according to your word!	I am laid low in the dust; preserve my life according to your word.
26	<V 118:26>I have declared my ways, and you have heeded me. Teach me your justifications.	When I told of my ways, you answered me; teach me your statutes!	I gave an account of my ways and you answered me; teach me your decrees.

31	<V 118:31>I have adhered to your testimonies, O Lord. Do not be willing to confound me.	I cling to your testimonies, O LORD; let me not be put to shame!	I hold fast to your statutes, LORD; do not let me be put to shame.
32	<V 118:32>I have run by way of your commandments, when you enlarged my heart.	I will run in the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart!	I run in the path of your commands, for you have broadened my understanding.
33	<V 118:33>HE. O Lord, place the law before me, the way of your justifications, and I will always inquire into it.	Teach me, O LORD, the way of your statutes; and I will keep it to the end.	Teach me, LORD, the way of your decrees, that I may follow it to the end.

37	<V 118:37>Turn my eyes away, lest they see what is vain. Revive me in your way.	Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways.	Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word.
38	<V 118:38>Station your eloquence with your servant, along with your fear.	Confirm to your servant your promise, that you may be feared.	Fulfill your promise to your servant, so that you may be feared.
39	<V 118:39>Cut off my disgrace, which I have taken up, for your judgments are delightful.	Turn away the reproach that I dread, for your rules are good.	Take away the disgrace I dread, for your laws are good.
40	<V 118:40>Behold, I have longed for your commandments. Revive me in your fairness.	Behold, I long for your precepts; in your righteousness give me life!	How I long for your precepts! In your righteousness preserve my life.
41	<V 118:41>VAU. And let your mercy overwhelm me, O Lord: your salvation according to your eloquence.	Let your steadfast love come to me, O LORD, your salvation according to your promise;	May your unfailing love come to me, LORD, your salvation, according to your promise;
42	<V 118:42>And I will respond to those who reproach me by word, for I have hoped in your words.	then shall I have an answer for him who taunts me, for I trust in your word.	then I can answer anyone who taunts me, for I trust in your word.
43	<V 118:43>And do not utterly take away the word of truth from my mouth. For in your judgments, I have hoped beyond hope.	And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for my hope is in your rules.	Never take your word of truth from my mouth, for I have put my hope in your laws.
44	<V 118:44>And I will always keep your law, in this age and forever and ever.	I will keep your law continually, forever and ever,	I will always obey your law, for ever and ever.
45	<V 118:45>And I have wandered far and wide, because I was seeking your commandments.	and I shall walk in a wide place, for I have sought your precepts.	I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts.
46	<V 118:46>And I spoke of your testimonies in the sight of kings, and I was not confounded.	I will also speak of your testimonies before kings and shall not be put to shame,	I will speak of your statutes before kings and will not be put to shame,
47	<V 118:47>And I meditated on your commandments, which I loved.	for I find my delight in your commandments, which I love.	for I delight in your commands because I love them.
48	<V 118:48>And I lifted up my hands to your commandments, which I loved. And I was trained in your justifications.	I will lift up my hands toward your commandments, which I love, and I will meditate on your statutes.	I reach out for your commands, which I love, that I may meditate on your decrees.
49	<V 118:49>ZAIN. Be mindful of your word to your servant, by which you have given me hope.	Remember your word to your servant, in which you have made me hope.	Remember your word to your servant, for you have given me hope.
50	<V 118:50>This has consoled me in my humiliation, for your word has revived me.	This is my comfort in my affliction, that your promise gives me life.	My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life.
51	<V 118:51>The arrogant act altogether iniquitously, but I have not turned aside from your law.	The insolent utterly deride me, but I do not turn away from your law.	The arrogant mock me unmercifully, but I do not turn from your law.
52	<V 118:52>I called to mind your judgments of antiquity, O Lord, and I was consoled.	When I think of your rules from of old, I take comfort, O LORD.	I remember, LORD, your ancient laws, and I find comfort in them.
53	<V 118:53>Faintness has taken hold of me, because of the sinners, those who abandon your law.	Hot indignation seizes me because of the wicked, who forsake your law.	Indignation grips me because of the wicked, who have forsaken your law.
54	<V 118:54>Your justifications were the subject of my worthy singing, in the place of my pilgrimage.	Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my sojourning.	Your decrees are the theme of my song wherever I lodge.
55	<V 118:55>During the night, I remembered your name, O Lord, and I kept your law.	I remember your name in the night, O LORD, and keep your law.	In the night, LORD, I remember your name, that I may keep your law.
56	<V 118:56>This has happened to me because I sought your justifications.	This blessing has fallen to me, that I have kept your precepts.	This has been my practice: I obey your precepts.
57	<V 118:57>HETH. O Lord, my portion, I have said that I would keep your law.	The LORD is my portion; I promise to keep your words.	You are my portion, LORD; I have promised to obey your words.
58	<V 118:58>I have beseeched your face with my whole heart. Be merciful to me according to your word.	I entreat your favor with all my heart; be gracious to me according to your promise.	I have sought your face with all my heart; be gracious to me according to your promise.
59	<V 118:59>I have considered my ways, and I have turned my feet toward your testimonies.	When I think on my ways, I turn my feet to your testimonies;	I have considered my ways and have turned my steps to your statutes.
60	<V 118:60>I have been prepared, and I have not been disturbed, so that I may keep your commandments.	I hasten and do not delay to keep your commandments.	I will hasten and not delay to obey your commands.
61	<V 118:61>The ropes of the impious have encircled me, and I have not forgotten your law.	Though the cords of the wicked ensnare me, I do not forget your law.	Though the wicked bind me with ropes, I will not forget your law.
62	<V 118:62>I arose in the middle of the night to confess to you, over the judgments of your justification.	At midnight I rise to praise you, because of your righteous rules.	At midnight I rise to give you thanks for your righteous laws.
63	<V 118:63>I am a partaker with all those who fear you and who keep your commandments.	I am a companion of all who fear you, of those who keep your precepts.	I am a friend to all who fear you, to all who follow your precepts.
64	<V 118:64>The earth, O Lord, is full of your mercy. Teach me your justifications.	The earth, O LORD, is full of your steadfast love; teach me your statutes!	The earth is filled with your love, LORD; teach me your decrees.
65	<V 118:65>TETH. You have done well with your servant, O Lord, according to your word.	You have dealt well with your servant, O LORD, according to your word.	Do good to your servant according to your word, LORD.
66	<V 118:66>Teach me goodness and discipline and knowledge, for I have trusted your commandments.	Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments.	Teach me knowledge and good judgment, for I trust your commands.
67	<V 118:67>Before I was humbled, I committed offenses; because of this, I have kept to your word.	Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your word.	Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word.
68	<V 118:68>You are good, so in your goodness teach me your justifications.	You are good and do good; teach me your statutes.	You are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees.
69	<V 118:69>The iniquity of the arrogant has been multiplied over me. Yet I will examine your commandments with all my heart.	The insolent smear me with lies, but with my whole heart I keep your precepts;	Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies, I keep your precepts with all my heart.
70	<V 118:70>Their heart has been curdled like milk. Truly, I have meditated on your law.	their heart is unfeeling like fat, but I delight in your law.	Their hearts are callous and unfeeling, but I delight in your law.
71	<V 118:71>It is good for me that you humbled me, so that I may learn your justifications.	It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes.	It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees.
72	<V 118:72>The law of your mouth is good for me, beyond thousands of gold and silver pieces.	The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.	The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.
73	<V 118:73>IOD. Your hands have created me and formed me. Give me understanding, and I will learn your commandments.	Your hands have made and fashioned me; give me understanding that I may learn your commandments.	Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding to learn your commands.
74	<V 118:74>Those who fear you will see me, and they will rejoice. For I have greatly hoped in your words.	Those who fear you shall see me and rejoice, because I have hoped in your word.	May those who fear you rejoice when they see me, for I have put my hope in your word.
75	<V 118:75>I know, O Lord, that your judgments are fairness. And in your truth, you have humbled me.	I know, O LORD, that your rules are righteous, and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.	I know, LORD, that your laws are righteous, and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
76	<V 118:76>Let it be your mercy that consoles me, according to your eloquence to your servant.	Let your steadfast love comfort me according to your promise to your servant.	May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant.
77	<V 118:77>Let your compassion draw near to me, and I will live. For your law is my meditation.	Let your mercy come to me, that I may live; for your law is my delight.	Let your compassion come to me that I may live, for your law is my delight.
78	<V 118:78>Let the arrogant be confounded, for unjustly they have done iniquity to me. But I will be trained in your commandments.	Let the insolent be put to shame, because they have wronged me with falsehood; as for me, I will meditate on your precepts.	May the arrogant be put to shame for wronging me without cause; but I will meditate on your precepts.
79	<V 118:79>Let those who fear you turn to me, along with those who know your testimonies.	Let those who fear you turn to me, that they may know your testimonies.	May those who fear you turn to me, those who understand your statutes.
80	<V 118:80>Let my heart be immaculate in your justifications, so that I may not be confounded.	May my heart be blameless in your statutes, that I may not be put to shame!	May I wholeheartedly follow your decrees, that I may not be put to shame.
81	<V 118:81>CAPH. My soul has faltered in your salvation, yet in your word, I have hoped beyond hope.	My soul longs for your salvation; I hope in your word.	My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word.
82	<V 118:82>My eyes have failed in your eloquence, saying, “When will you console me?”	My eyes long for your promise; I ask, “When will you comfort me?”	My eyes fail, looking for your promise; I say, “When will you comfort me?”
83	<V 118:83>For I have become like a wineskin in the frost. I have not forgotten your justifications.	For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke, yet I have not forgotten your statutes.	Though I am like a wineskin in the smoke, I do not forget your decrees.
84	<V 118:84>How many are the days of your servant? When will you bring judgment against those who persecute me?	How long must your servant endure? When will you judge those who persecute me?	How long must your servant wait? When will you punish my persecutors?
85	<V 118:85>The iniquitous have spoken fables to me. But these are unlike your law.	The insolent have dug pitfalls for me; they do not live according to your law.	The arrogant dig pits to trap me, contrary to your law.
86	<V 118:86>All your commandments are truth. They have been persecuting me unjustly: assist me.	All your commandments are sure; they persecute me with falsehood; help me!	All your commands are trustworthy; help me, for I am being persecuted without cause.
87	<V 118:87>They have nearly consumed me on earth. Yet I have not forsaken your commandments.	They have almost made an end of me on earth, but I have not forsaken your precepts.	They almost wiped me from the earth, but I have not forsaken your precepts.
88	<V 118:88>Revive me according to your mercy. And I will keep the testimonies of your mouth.	In your steadfast love give me life, that I may keep the testimonies of your mouth.	In your unfailing love preserve my life, that I may obey the statutes of your mouth.
89	<V 118:89>LAMED. O Lord, your word remains firm in heaven, for all eternity.	Forever, O LORD, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens.	Your word, LORD, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.
90	<V 118:90>Your truth is from generation to generation. You have founded the earth, and it remains firm.	Your faithfulness endures to all generations; you have established the earth, and it stands fast.	Your faithfulness continues through all generations; you established the earth, and it endures.
91	<V 118:91>By your ordinance, the day perseveres. For all things are in service to you.	By your appointment they stand this day, for all things are your servants.	Your laws endure to this day, for all things serve you.
92	<V 118:92>If your law had not been my meditation, then perhaps I would have perished in my humiliation.	If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.	If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.
93	<V 118:93>I will not forget your justifications, for eternity. For by them, you have enlivened me.	I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have given me life.	I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have preserved my life.
94	<V 118:94>I am yours. Accomplish my salvation. For I have inquired into your justifications.	I am yours; save me, for I have sought your precepts.	Save me, for I am yours; I have sought out your precepts.
95	<V 118:95>The sinners have waited for me, in order to destroy me. I have understood your testimonies.	The wicked lie in wait to destroy me, but I consider your testimonies.	The wicked are waiting to destroy me, but I will ponder your statutes.
96	<V 118:96>I have seen the end of the consummation of all things. Your commandment is exceedingly broad.	I have seen a limit to all perfection, but your commandment is exceedingly broad.	To all perfection I see a limit, but your commands are boundless.
97	<V 118:97>MEM. How have I loved your law, O Lord? It is my meditation all day long.	Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day.	Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long.
98	<V 118:98>By your commandment, you have made me able to see far, beyond my enemies. For it is with me for eternity.	Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is ever with me.	Your commands are always with me and make me wiser than my enemies.
99	<V 118:99>I have understood beyond all my teachers. For your testimonies are my meditation.	I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your testimonies are my meditation.	I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes.
100	<V 118:100>I have understood beyond the elders. For I have searched your commandments.	I understand more than the aged, for I keep your precepts.	I have more understanding than the elders, for I obey your precepts.
101	<V 118:101>I have prohibited my feet from every evil way, so that I may keep your words.	I hold back my feet from every evil way, in order to keep your word.	I have kept my feet from every evil path so that I might obey your word.
102	<V 118:102>I have not declined from your judgments, because you have stationed a law for me.	I do not turn aside from your rules, for you have taught me.	I have not departed from your laws, for you yourself have taught me.
103	<V 118:103>How sweet is your eloquence to my palate, more so than honey to my mouth!	How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!	How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104	<V 118:104>I obtained understanding by your commandments. Because of this, I have hated every way of iniquity.	Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.	I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path.
105	<V 118:105>NUN. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my paths.	Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.	Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
106	<V 118:106>I have sworn it, and so I am determined to keep the judgments of your justice.	I have sworn an oath and confirmed it, to keep your righteous rules.	I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws.
107	<V 118:107>I have been altogether humbled, Lord. Revive me according to your word.	I am severely afflicted; give me life, O LORD, according to your word!	I have suffered much; preserve my life, LORD, according to your word.
108	<V 118:108>Make the willing offerings of my mouth well pleasing, Lord, and teach me your judgments.	Accept my freewill offerings of praise, O LORD, and teach me your rules.	Accept, LORD, the willing praise of my mouth, and teach me your laws.
109	<V 118:109>My soul is always in my hands, and I have not forgotten your law.	I hold my life in my hand continually, but I do not forget your law.	Though I constantly take my life in my hands, I will not forget your law.
110	<V 118:110>Sinners have set a snare for me, yet I have not strayed from your commandments.	The wicked have laid a snare for me, but I do not stray from your precepts.	The wicked have set a snare for me, but I have not strayed from your precepts.
111	<V 118:111>I have acquired your testimonies as an inheritance unto eternity, because they are the exultation of my heart.	Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.	Your statutes are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart.
112	<V 118:112>I have inclined my heart to do your justifications for eternity, as a recompense.	I incline my heart to perform your statutes forever, to the end.	My heart is set on keeping your decrees to the very end.
113	<V 118:113>SAMECH. I have hated the iniquitous, and I have loved your law.	I hate the double-minded, but I love your law.	I hate double-minded people, but I love your law.
114	<V 118:114>You are my helper and my supporter. And in your word, I have greatly hoped.	You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word.	You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word.
115	<V 118:115>Turn away from me, you malignant ones. And I will examine the commandments of my God.	Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God.	Away from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commands of my God!
116	<V 118:116>Uphold me according to your eloquence, and I will live. And let me not be confounded in my expectation.	Uphold me according to your promise, that I may live, and let me not be put to shame in my hope!	Sustain me, my God, according to your promise, and I will live; do not let my hopes be dashed.
117	<V 118:117>Help me, and I will be saved. And I will meditate always on your justifications.	Hold me up, that I may be safe and have regard for your statutes continually!	Uphold me, and I will be delivered; I will always have regard for your decrees.
118	<V 118:118>You have despised all those who fell away from your judgments. For their intention is unjust.	You spurn all who go astray from your statutes, for their cunning is in vain.	You reject all who stray from your decrees, for their delusions come to nothing.
