Sino que andan en Sus caminos.
4 Tú has ordenado Tus preceptos(G),
Para que los guardemos con diligencia.
5 ¡Ojalá mis caminos sean afirmados(H)
Para guardar Tus estatutos(I)!
6 Entonces no seré avergonzado(J),
Al considerar todos Tus mandamientos.

Al aprender Tus justos juicios(K).
8 Tus estatutos guardaré;
No me dejes en completo desamparo(L).

Para no pecar contra Ti.

Que se desvían de Tus mandamientos(AD).
22 Quita de mí el oprobio y el desprecio(AE),
Porque yo guardo Tus testimonios(AF).

Ellos son mis consejeros.

Tu salvación, conforme a Tu palabra(BG).

Pues confío en Tu palabra.
43 No quites jamás de mi boca la palabra de verdad,
Porque yo espero en Tus ordenanzas(BJ).
44 Así que guardaré continuamente Tu ley(BK),
Para siempre y eternamente.

49 ¶Acuérdate de la palabra dada a Tu siervo,
En la cual me has hecho esperar.
50 Este es mi consuelo en la aflicción(BS):
Que Tu palabra me ha vivificado.
51 Los soberbios(BT) me insultaron en gran manera,
Sin embargo, no me he apartado de Tu ley(BU).
52 Me acuerdo de Tus ordenanzas antiguas, oh Señor(BV),
Y me consuelo.
53 Profunda indignación(BW) se ha apoderado de mí por causa de los impíos
Que abandonan Tu ley(BX).
54 Cánticos para mí son Tus estatutos
En la casa de mi peregrinación(BY).
55 Por la noche(BZ) me acuerdo de Tu nombre(CA), oh Señor,
Y guardo Tu ley.
56 Esto se ha hecho parte de mí:
Guardar Tus preceptos(CB).
Jet.
57 ¶El Señor es mi porción(CC);
He prometido guardar Tus palabras(CD).
58 Supliqué Tu favor(CE) con todo mi corazón(CF);
Ten piedad de mí(CG) conforme a Tu promesa(CH).
59 Consideré mis caminos(CI),
Y volví mis pasos a Tus testimonios.
60 Me apresuré y no me tardé
En guardar Tus mandamientos.
61 Los lazos de los impíos me han rodeado(CJ),
Pero no me he olvidado de Tu ley(CK).
62 A medianoche(CL) me levantaré para dar gracias a Ti
Por Tus justas ordenanzas(CM).
63 Compañero soy de todos los que te temen[a](CN),
Y de los que guardan Tus preceptos.
64 La tierra, oh Señor(CO), está llena de Tu misericordia;
Enséñame Tus estatutos(CP).
Tet.
65 ¶Bien has obrado con Tu siervo,
Oh Señor, conforme a Tu palabra.
66 Enséñame buen juicio y conocimiento(CQ),
Pues creo en Tus mandamientos.

Pero ahora guardo Tu palabra.
68 Bueno eres Tú(CS), y bienhechor(CT);
Enséñame Tus estatutos(CU).
69 Los soberbios han forjado mentira contra mí(CV),
Pero de todo corazón guardaré Tus preceptos(CW).
70 Su corazón está cubierto de grasa(CX),
Pero yo me deleito en Tu ley(CY).
71 Bueno es para mí ser afligido(CZ),
Para que aprenda Tus estatutos.
72 Mejor es para mí la ley de Tu boca
Que millares de monedas de oro y de plata(DA).
Yod.
73 ¶Tus manos me hicieron y me formaron(DB);
Dame entendimiento(DC) para que aprenda Tus mandamientos.
74 Que los que te temen, me vean y se alegren(DD),
Porque espero en Tu palabra(DE).

Conforme a Tu promesa dada a Tu siervo.
77 Venga a mí Tu compasión(DH), para que viva,
Porque Tu ley es mi deleite(DI).

Para que yo no sea avergonzado(DN).
Caf.
81 ¶Mi alma desfallece por Tu salvación(DO);
En Tu palabra espero(DP).
82 Mis ojos desfallecen(DQ) esperando Tu palabra,
Mientras digo: «¿Cuándo me consolarás?».
83 Aunque he llegado a ser como odre al humo(DR),
No me olvido de Tus estatutos(DS).
84 ¿Cuántos son los días de Tu siervo(DT)?
¿Cuándo harás juicio contra mis perseguidores(DU)?
85 Fosas me han cavado(DV) los soberbios,
Los que no están de acuerdo con Tu ley.
86 Todos Tus mandamientos son fieles(DW);
Con mentira me han perseguido(DX); ¡ayúdame(DY)!
87 Casi me destruyen en la tierra,
Pero yo no abandoné Tus preceptos(DZ).
88 Vivifícame conforme a Tu misericordia,
Para que guarde el testimonio de Tu boca.
Lámed.
89 ¶Para siempre, oh Señor,
Tu palabra está firme en los cielos(EA).
90 Tu fidelidad permanece por todas las generaciones(EB);
Tú estableciste la tierra(EC), y ella permanece(ED).
91 Por Tus ordenanzas(EE) permanecen hasta hoy,
Pues todas las cosas te sirven(EF).
92 Si Tu ley no hubiera sido mi deleite(EG),
Entonces habría perecido en mi aflicción(EH).
93 Jamás me olvidaré de Tus preceptos(EI),
Porque por ellos me has vivificado(EJ).
94 Tuyo soy, Señor, sálvame(EK),
Pues Tus preceptos he buscado(EL).
95 Los impíos me esperan para destruirme(EM);
Tus testimonios consideraré.
96 He visto un límite a toda perfección;
Tu mandamiento es sumamente amplio.
Mem.
97 ¶¡Cuánto amo Tu ley(EN)!
Todo el día(EO) es ella mi meditación.
98 Tus mandamientos(EP) me hacen más sabio que mis enemigos,
Porque son míos para siempre.
99 Tengo más discernimiento que todos mis maestros,
Porque Tus testimonios son mi meditación(EQ).
100 Entiendo más que los ancianos(ER),
Porque Tus preceptos he guardado(ES).
101 De todo mal camino he refrenado mis pies(ET),
Para guardar Tu palabra.
102 No me he desviado de Tus ordenanzas(EU),
Porque Tú me has enseñado.
103 ¡Cuán dulces son a mi paladar Tus palabras(EV)!,
Sí, más que la miel a mi boca.
104 De Tus preceptos recibo entendimiento(EW),
Por tanto aborrezco todo camino de mentira(EX).
Nun.
105 ¶Lámpara es a mis pies Tu palabra(EY),
Y luz para mi camino.
106 He jurado(EZ), y lo confirmaré,
Que guardaré Tus justas ordenanzas.
107 Estoy profundamente afligido(FA);
Señor, vivifícame conforme a Tu palabra(FB).
108 Te ruego aceptes las ofrendas voluntarias de mi boca(FC), oh Señor,
Y enséñame Tus ordenanzas(FD).
109 En peligro continuo está mi vida(FE),
Con todo, no me olvido de Tu ley(FF).
110 Los impíos me han tendido lazo(FG),
Pero no me he desviado de Tus preceptos(FH).
111 Tus testimonios he tomado como herencia para siempre(FI),
Porque son el gozo de mi corazón(FJ).
112 He inclinado mi corazón para cumplir Tus estatutos(FK)
Por siempre, y hasta el fin(FL).
Sámec.
113 ¶Aborrezco a los hipócritas(FM),
Pero amo Tu ley(FN).
114 Tú eres mi escondedero(FO) y mi escudo(FP);
En Tu palabra espero(FQ).
115 Apártense de mí, malhechores(FR),
Para que guarde yo los mandamientos de mi Dios(FS).
116 Sostenme conforme a Tu promesa, para que viva(FT),
Y no dejes que me avergüence(FU) de mi esperanza.
117 Sostenme, para estar seguro(FV),
Y que continuamente preste atención a Tus estatutos(FW).
118 Has rechazado a todos los que se desvían de Tus estatutos(FX),
Porque su engaño es en vano.
119 Como basura(FY) has quitado de la tierra a todos los impíos,
Por tanto amo Tus testimonios(FZ).
120 Mi carne se estremece por temor a Ti(GA),
Y de Tus juicios tengo miedo(GB).
Ayin.
121 ¶He practicado el juicio y la justicia(GC);
No me abandones a mis opresores.
122 Sé fiador(GD) de Tu siervo para bien;
Que no me opriman los soberbios(GE).
123 Desfallecen mis ojos(GF) por Tu salvación
Y por la promesa de Tu justicia.
124 Haz con Tu siervo según Tu misericordia(GG)
Y enséñame Tus estatutos(GH).
125 Yo soy Tu siervo(GI), dame entendimiento(GJ)
Para que conozca Tus testimonios.
126 Es tiempo de que actúe el Señor(GK),
Porque han quebrantado Tu ley.
127 Por tanto, amo Tus mandamientos(GL)
Más que el oro, sí, más que el oro fino.
128 Por tanto, estimo rectos todos Tus preceptos acerca de todas las cosas(GM),
Y aborrezco todo camino de mentira(GN).
Pe.
129 ¶Maravillosos(GO) son Tus testimonios,
Por lo que los guarda mi alma(GP).
130 La exposición de Tus palabras imparte luz(GQ);
Da entendimiento a los sencillos(GR).
131 Abrí mi boca(GS) y suspiré(GT),
Porque anhelaba(GU) Tus mandamientos.
132 Vuélvete a mí y tenme piedad(GV),
Como acostumbras con los que aman Tu nombre.
133 Afirma mis pasos(GW) en Tu palabra,
Y que ninguna iniquidad me domine(GX).
134 Rescátame de la opresión del hombre(GY),
Para que yo guarde Tus preceptos.
135 Haz resplandecer Tu rostro sobre Tu siervo(GZ),
Y enséñame Tus estatutos(HA).
136 Ríos de lágrimas[b] vierten mis ojos(HB),
Porque ellos no guardan Tu ley(HC).
Tsade.
137 ¶Justo eres Tú, Señor(HD),
Y rectos Tus juicios.
138 Has ordenado Tus testimonios con justicia(HE),
Y con suma fidelidad(HF).
139 Mi celo me ha consumido(HG),
Porque mis adversarios han olvidado Tus palabras.
140 Es muy pura Tu palabra(HH),
Y Tu siervo la ama(HI).
141 Pequeño soy, y despreciado(HJ),
Pero no me olvido de Tus preceptos(HK).
142 Tu justicia es justicia eterna,
Y Tu ley verdad(HL).
143 Angustia y aflicción han venido sobre mí,
Pero Tus mandamientos son mi deleite(HM).
144 Tus testimonios son justos(HN) para siempre;
Dame entendimiento para que yo viva(HO).
Cof.

Guardaré Tus estatutos(HQ).
146 A Ti clamé; sálvame(HR),
Y guardaré Tus testimonios.
147 Me anticipo al alba y clamo(HS);
En Tus palabras espero.
148 Mis ojos se anticipan a las vigilias de la noche,
Para meditar en Tu palabra(HT).
149 Oye mi voz conforme a Tu misericordia(HU);
Vivifícame(HV), oh Señor, conforme a Tus ordenanzas.
150 Se me acercan los que siguen la maldad;
Lejos están de Tu ley.
151 Tú estás cerca, Señor(HW),
Y todos Tus mandamientos son verdad(HX).
152 Desde hace tiempo he sabido de Tus testimonios(HY),
Que para siempre los has fundado(HZ).
Resh.
153 ¶Mira mi aflicción(IA) y líbrame,
Porque no me olvido de Tu ley(IB).
154 Defiende mi causa(IC) y redímeme(ID);
Vivifícame conforme a Tu palabra.
155 Lejos está de los impíos la salvación(IE),
Porque no buscan Tus estatutos(IF).
156 Muchas son, oh Señor, Tus misericordias(IG);
Vivifícame conforme a Tus ordenanzas.
157 Muchos son mis perseguidores y mis adversarios(IH),
Pero yo no me aparto de Tus testimonios(II).
158 Veo a los malvados(IJ) y me repugnan(IK),
Porque no guardan Tu palabra.
159 Mira cuánto amo Tus preceptos(IL);
Vivifícame(IM), Señor, conforme a Tu misericordia.
160 La suma(IN) de Tu palabra es verdad(IO),
Y eterna cada una de Tus justas ordenanzas(IP).
Sin.
161 ¶Príncipes me persiguen sin causa(IQ),
Pero mi corazón teme(IR) Tus palabras.
162 Me regocijo en Tu palabra(IS),
Como quien halla un gran botín(IT).
163 Aborrezco y desprecio la mentira(IU),
Pero amo Tu ley(IV).
164 Siete veces al día te alabo,
A causa de Tus justas ordenanzas(IW).
165 Mucha paz tienen los que aman Tu ley(IX),
Y nada los hace tropezar(IY).
166 Espero Tu salvación(IZ), Señor,
Y cumplo Tus mandamientos.
167 Mi alma guarda Tus testimonios(JA),
Y en gran manera los amo(JB).
168 Guardo Tus preceptos y Tus testimonios(JC),
Porque todos mis caminos están delante de Ti(JD).
Tau.
169 ¶Que llegue mi clamor(JE) ante Ti, Señor;
Conforme a Tu palabra(JF) dame entendimiento(JG).
170 Llegue mi súplica(JH) delante de Ti;
Líbrame(JI) conforme a Tu palabra.
171 Que profieran mis labios alabanzas(JJ),
Pues Tú me enseñas Tus estatutos(JK).
172 Que cante mi lengua(JL) de Tu palabra,
Porque todos Tus mandamientos son justicia(JM).
173 Que esté pronta Tu mano(JN) a socorrerme,
Porque Tus preceptos he escogido(JO).
174 Anhelo Tu salvación(JP), Señor,
Y Tu ley es mi deleite(JQ).
175 Que viva mi alma(JR) para alabarte,
Y que Tus ordenanzas me ayuden.
176 Me he descarriado como oveja perdida(JS); busca a Tu siervo,
Porque no me olvido de Tus mandamientos(JT).

119 ALEPH. Blessed are the perfect in the way, who walk in the law of Jehovah.
2 Blessed are they that observe his testimonies, that seek him with the whole heart;
3 Who also do no unrighteousness: they walk in his ways.
4 Thou hast enjoined thy precepts, to be kept diligently.
5 Oh that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
7 I will give thee thanks with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
8 I will keep thy statutes: forsake me not utterly.
9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his path? by taking heed according to thy word.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: let me not wander from thy commandments.
11 Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.
12 Blessed art thou, Jehovah! teach me thy statutes.
13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as [much as] in all wealth.
15 I will meditate upon thy precepts, and have respect unto thy paths.
16 I delight myself in thy statutes; I will not forget thy word.
17 GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant [and] I shall live; and I will keep thy word.
18 Open mine eyes, and I shall behold wondrous things out of thy law.
19 I am a stranger in the land; hide not thy commandments from me.
20 My soul breaketh for longing after thy judgments at all times.
21 Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed, who wander from thy commandments.
22 Roll off from me reproach and contempt; for I observe thy testimonies.
23 Princes also did sit [and] talk together against me: thy servant doth meditate in thy statutes.
24 Thy testimonies also are my delight [and] my counsellors.
25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken me according to thy word.
26 I have declared my ways, and thou hast answered me: teach me thy statutes.
27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts, and I will meditate upon thy wondrous works.
28 My soul melteth for sadness: strengthen me according to thy word.
29 Remove from me the way of falsehood, and graciously grant me thy law.
30 I have chosen the way of faithfulness; thy judgments have I set [before me].
31 I cleave unto thy testimonies; Jehovah, let me not be ashamed.
32 I will run the way of thy commandments when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
33 HE. Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of thy statutes, and I will observe it [unto] the end.
34 Give me understanding, and I will observe thy law; and I will keep it with [my] whole heart.
35 Make me to walk in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.
36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to gain.
37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; quicken me in thy way.
38 Establish thy word unto thy servant, who is [devoted] to thy fear.
39 Turn away my reproach which I fear; for thy judgments are good.
40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.
41 VAU. And let thy loving-kindness come unto me, O Jehovah,—thy salvation according to thy word.
42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me; for I confide in thy word.
43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; because I have hoped in thy judgments.
44 Then will I keep thy law continually, for ever and ever;
45 And I will walk at liberty, for I have sought thy precepts;
46 And I will speak of thy testimonies before kings, and will not be ashamed;
47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved;
48 And I will lift up my hands unto thy commandments, which I have loved, and I will meditate in thy statutes.
49 ZAIN. Remember the word for thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
50 This is my comfort in mine affliction; for thy word hath quickened me.
51 The proud have derided me beyond measure: I have not declined from thy law.
52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O Jehovah, and have comforted myself.
53 Burning indignation hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked who forsake thy law.
54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
55 I have remembered thy name, O Jehovah, in the night, and have kept thy law.
56 This I have had, because I have observed thy precepts.
57 CHETH. My portion, O Jehovah, I have said, is to keep thy words.
58 I have sought thy favour with [my] whole heart: be gracious unto me according to thy word.
59 I have thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
60 I have made haste, and not delayed, to keep thy commandments.
61 The bands of the wicked have wrapped me round: I have not forgotten thy law.
62 At midnight I rise up to give thanks unto thee, because of thy righteous judgments.
63 I am the companion of all that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
64 The earth, O Jehovah, is full of thy loving-kindness: teach me thy statutes.
65 TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Jehovah, according to thy word.
66 Teach me good discernment and knowledge; for I have believed in thy commandments.
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep thy word.
68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
69 The proud have forged falsehood against me: I will observe thy precepts with [my] whole heart.
70 Their heart is as fat as grease: as for me, I delight in thy law.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes.
72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
73 YOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, and I will learn thy commandments.
74 They that fear thee will see me, and rejoice; because I have hoped in thy word.
75 I know, Jehovah, that thy Judgments are righteousness, and that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.
76 Oh let thy loving-kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live; for thy law is my delight.
78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they have acted perversely towards me with falsehood: as for me, I meditate in thy precepts.
79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that know thy testimonies.
80 Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes, that I be not ashamed.
81 CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation; I hope in thy word.
82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; I do not forget thy statutes.
84 How many shall be the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85 The proud have digged pits for me, which is not according to thy law.
86 All thy commandments are faithfulness. They persecute me wrongfully: help thou me.
87 They had almost consumed me upon the earth; but as for me, I forsook not thy precepts.
88 Quicken me according to thy loving-kindness, and I will keep the testimony of thy mouth.
89 LAMED. For ever, O Jehovah, thy word is settled in the heavens.
90 Thy faithfulness is from generation to generation: thou hast established the earth, and it standeth.
91 By thine ordinances they stand this day; for all things are thy servants.
92 Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
93 I will never forget thy precepts; for by them thou hast quickened me.
94 I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.
95 The wicked have awaited me to destroy me; [but] I attend unto thy testimonies.
96 I have seen an end of all perfection: thy commandment is exceeding broad.
97 MEM. Oh how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
98 Thy commandments make me wiser than mine enemies; for they are ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers; for thy testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understand more than the aged, because I have observed thy precepts.
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil path, that I might keep thy word.
102 I have not departed from thy judgments; for it is thou that hast taught me.
103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! more than honey to my mouth!
104 From thy precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false path.
105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
107 I am afflicted very much; O Jehovah, quicken me according to thy word.
108 Accept, I beseech thee, Jehovah, the voluntary-offerings of my mouth, and teach me thy judgments.
109 My life is continually in my hand; but I do not forget thy law.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me; but I have not wandered from thy precepts.
111 Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever; for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
112 I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes for ever, unto the end.
113 SAMECH. The double-minded have I hated; but thy law do I love.
114 Thou art my hiding-place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
115 Depart from me, ye evil-doers; and I will observe the commandments of my God.
116 Uphold me according to thy word, that I may live; and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe; and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.
118 Thou hast set at nought all them that wander from thy statutes; for their deceit is falsehood.
119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth [like] dross; therefore I love thy testimonies.
120 My flesh shuddereth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
121 AIN. I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.
122 Be surety for thy servant for good; let not the proud oppress me.
123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.
124 Deal with thy servant according to thy loving-kindness, and teach me thy statutes.
125 I am thy servant; give me understanding that I may know thy testimonies.
126 It is time for Jehovah to work: they have made void thy law.
127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold, yea, above fine gold.
128 Therefore I regard all [thy] precepts concerning all things to be right: I hate every false path.
129 PE. Thy testimonies are wonderful; therefore doth my soul observe them.

64 The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
65 Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Lord, according unto thy word.
66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.
68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
69 The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.

83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.
84 How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85 The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.
86 All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
89 For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.
90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.
92 Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.
