Psalm 119:65-96
New American Standard Bible
Teth
65 You have treated Your servant well,
Lord, according to Your word.
66 Teach me good [a](A)discernment and knowledge,
For I believe in Your commandments.
67 (B)Before I was afflicted I went astray,
But now I keep Your word.
68 You are (C)good and You (D)do good;
(E)Teach me Your statutes.
69 The arrogant [b]have (F)forged a lie against me;
With all my heart I will (G)comply with Your precepts.
70 Their heart is (H)insensitive, like fat,
But I (I)delight in Your Law.
71 It is (J)good for me that I was afflicted,
So that I may learn Your statutes.
72 The (K)Law of Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
Yodh
73 (L)Your hands made me and [c]fashioned me;
(M)Give me understanding, so that I may learn Your commandments.
74 May those who [d]fear You (N)see me and be glad,
Because I [e](O)wait for Your word.
75 I know, Lord, that Your judgments are (P)righteous,
And that You have afflicted me (Q)in faithfulness.
76 May Your favor [f]comfort me,
According to Your [g]word to Your servant.
77 May (R)Your compassion come to me so that I may live,
For Your Law is my (S)delight.
78 May (T)the arrogant be put to shame, because they lead me astray (U)with a lie;
But I shall (V)meditate on Your precepts.
79 May those who [h]fear You turn to me,
And those who know Your testimonies.
80 May my heart be [i](W)blameless in Your statutes,
So that I will not (X)be ashamed.
Kaph
81 My (Y)soul languishes for Your salvation;
I [j](Z)wait for Your word.
82 My (AA)eyes fail with longing for Your [k]word,
[l]While I say, “When will You comfort me?”
83 Though I have (AB)become like a wineskin in the smoke,
I do (AC)not forget Your statutes.
84 How many are the (AD)days of Your servant?
When will You (AE)execute judgment on those who persecute me?
85 The arrogant have (AF)dug pits for me,
People who are not in accord with Your Law.
86 All Your commandments are (AG)faithful;
They have (AH)persecuted me with a lie; (AI)help me!
87 They almost destroyed me on earth,
But as for me, I (AJ)did not abandon Your precepts.
88 Revive me according to Your faithfulness,
So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth.
Lamedh
89 (AK)Forever, Lord,
Your word stands in heaven.
90 Your (AL)faithfulness continues [m]throughout generations;
You (AM)established the earth, and it (AN)stands.
91 They stand this day by Your (AO)ordinances,
For (AP)all things are Your servants.
92 If Your Law had not been my (AQ)delight,
Then I would have perished (AR)in my misery.
93 I will (AS)never forget Your precepts,
For by them You have [n](AT)revived me.
94 I am Yours, (AU)save me;
For I have (AV)sought Your precepts.
95 The wicked (AW)wait for me to destroy me;
I will diligently consider Your testimonies.
96 I have seen [o]a limit to all perfection;
Your commandment is exceedingly broad.

Psalm 119:65-96

Psalm 119:65-96
King James Version
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.
73 Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.
75 I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful 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 dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.
80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.
81 My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but 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; 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.
94 I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy precepts.
95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.
96 I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.
