Samekh.

113 I hate those who are (A)double-minded,
But I love Your (B)law.
114 You are my (C)hiding place and my (D)shield;
I [a](E)wait for Your word.
115 (F)Depart from me, evildoers,
That I may (G)observe the commandments of my God.
116 (H)Sustain me according to Your [b]word, that I may live;
And (I)do not let me be [c]ashamed of my hope.
117 Uphold me that I may be (J)safe,
That I may (K)have regard for Your statutes continually.
118 You have [d]rejected all those (L)who wander from Your statutes,
For their deceitfulness is [e]useless.
119 You have [f]removed all the wicked of the earth like (M)dross;
Therefore I (N)love Your testimonies.
120 My flesh [g](O)trembles for fear of You,
And I am (P)afraid of Your judgments.

Ayin.

121 I have (Q)done justice and righteousness;
Do not leave me to my oppressors.
122 Be (R)surety for Your servant for good;
Do not let the arrogant (S)oppress me.
123 My (T)eyes fail with longing for Your salvation
And for Your righteous [h]word.
124 Deal with Your servant (U)according to Your lovingkindness
And (V)teach me Your statutes.
125 (W)I am Your servant; (X)give me understanding,
That I may know Your testimonies.
126 It is time for the Lord to (Y)act,
For they have broken Your law.
127 Therefore I (Z)love Your commandments
Above gold, yes, above fine gold.
128 Therefore I esteem right all Your (AA)precepts concerning everything,
I (AB)hate every false way.

Pe.

129 Your testimonies are (AC)wonderful;
Therefore my soul (AD)observes them.
130 The (AE)unfolding of Your words gives light;
It gives (AF)understanding to the simple.
131 I (AG)opened my mouth wide and (AH)panted,
For I (AI)longed for Your commandments.
132 (AJ)Turn to me and be gracious to me,
After Your manner [i]with those who love Your name.
133 Establish my (AK)footsteps in Your [j]word,
And do not let any iniquity (AL)have dominion over me.
134 (AM)Redeem me from the oppression of man,
That I may keep Your precepts.
135 (AN)Make Your face shine upon Your servant,
And (AO)teach me Your statutes.
136 My eyes [k]shed (AP)streams of water,
Because they (AQ)do not keep Your law.
