1 Happy those whose way is blameless, who walk by the teaching of the LORD.	1 ALLELUIA. ALEPH. Beati immaculati in via, qui ambulant in lege Domini.
2 Happy those who observe God's decrees, who seek the LORD with all their heart.	2 Beati, qui servant testimonia eius, in toto corde exquirunt eum.
3 They do no wrong; they walk in God's ways.	3 Non enim operati sunt iniquitatem, in viis eius ambulaverunt.
4 You have given them the command to keep your precepts with care.	4 Tu mandasti mandata tua custodiri nimis.
5 May my ways be firm in the observance of your laws!	5 Utinam dirigantur viae meae ad custodiendas iustificationes tuas!
6 Then I will not be ashamed to ponder all your commands.	6 Tunc non confundar, cum perspexero in omnibus praeceptis tuis.
7 I will praise you with sincere heart as I study your just edicts.	7 Confitebor tibi in directione cordis, in eo quod didici iudicia iustitiae tuae.
8 I will keep your laws; do not leave me all alone.	8 Iustificationes tuas custodiam, non me derelinquas usquequaque.
9 How can the young walk without fault? Only by keeping your words.	9 BETH. In quo mundabit adulescentior viam suam? In custodiendo sermones tuos.
10 With all my heart I seek you; do not let me stray from your commands.	10 In toto corde meo exquisivi te; ne errare me facias a praeceptis tuis.
11 In my heart I treasure your promise, that I may not sin against you.	11 In corde meo abscondi eloquia tua, ut non peccem tibi.
12 Blessed are you, O LORD; teach me your laws.	12 Benedictus es, Domine; doce me iustificationes tuas.
13 With my lips I recite all the edicts you have spoken.	13 In labiis meis numeravi omnia iudicia oris tui.

18 Open my eyes to see clearly the wonders of your teachings.	18 Revela oculos meos, et considerabo mirabilia de lege tua.
19 I am a sojourner in the land; do not hide your commands from me.	19 Incola ego sum in terra, non abscondas a me praecepta tua.
20 At all times my soul is stirred with longing for your edicts.	20 Defecit anima mea in desiderando iudicia tua in omni tempore.
21 With a curse you rebuke the proud who stray from your commands.	21 Increpasti superbos; maledicti, qui errant a praeceptis tuis.
22 Free me from disgrace and contempt, for I observe your decrees.	22 Aufer a me opprobrium et contemptum, quia testimonia tua servavi.
23 Though princes meet and talk against me, your servant studies your laws.	23 Etsi principes sedent et adversum me loquuntur, servus tamen tuus exercetur in iustificationibus tuis.
24 Your decrees are my delight; they are my counselors.	24 Nam et testimonia tua delectatio mea, et consilium meum iustificationes tuae.
25 I lie prostrate in the dust; give me life in accord with your word.	25 DALETH. Adhaesit pulveri anima mea; vivifica me secundum verbum tuum.
26 I disclosed my ways and you answered me; teach me your laws.	26 Vias meas enuntiavi, et exaudisti me; doce me iustificationes tuas.

31 I cling to your decrees, LORD; do not let me come to shame.	31 Adhaesi testimoniis tuis, Domine; noli me confundere.
32 I will run the way of your commands, for you open my docile heart.	32 Viam mandatorum tuorum curram, quia dilatasti cor meum.

38 For your servant fulfill your promise made to those who fear you.	38 Suscita servo tuo eloquium tuum, quod est ad timorem tuum.
39 Turn away from me the taunts I dread, for your edicts bring good.	39 Amove opprobrium meum, quod suspicatus sum, quia iudicia tua iucunda.

41 Let your love come to me, LORD, salvation in accord with your promise.	41 VAU. Et veniat super me misericordia tua, Domine, salutare tuum secundum eloquium tuum.
42 Let me answer my taunters with a word, for I trust in your word.	42 Et respondebo exprobrantibus mihi verbum, quia speravi in sermonibus tuis.
43 Do not take the word of truth from my mouth, for in your edicts is my hope.	43 Et ne auferas de ore meo verbum veritatis usquequaque, quia in iudiciis tuis supersperavi.
44 I will keep your teachings always, for all time and forever.	44 Et custodiam legem tuam semper, in saeculum et in saeculum saeculi.
45 I will walk freely in an open space because I cherish your precepts.	45 Et ambulabo in latitudine, quia mandata tua exquisivi.
46 I will speak openly of your decrees without fear even before kings.	46 Et loquar de testimoniis tuis in conspectu regum et non confundar.

49 Remember your word to your servant by which you give me hope.	49 ZAIN. Memor esto verbi tui servo tuo, in quo mihi spem dedisti.
50 This is my comfort in affliction, your promise that gives me life.	50 Hoc me consolatum est in humiliatione mea, quia eloquium tuum vivificavit me.
51 Though the arrogant utterly scorn me, I do not turn from your teaching.	51 Superbi deriserunt me vehementer; a lege autem tua non declinavi.
52 When I recite your edicts of old I am comforted, LORD.	52 Memor fui iudiciorum tuorum a saeculo, Domine, et consolatus sum.
53 Rage seizes me because of the wicked; they forsake your teaching.	53 Indignatio tenuit me propter peccatores derelinquentes legem tuam.
54 Your laws become my songs wherever I make my home.	54 Cantica factae sunt mihi iustificationes tuae in loco peregrinationis meae.
55 Even at night I remember your name in observance of your teaching, LORD.	55 Memor fui nocte nominis tui, Domine, et custodiam legem tuam.
56 This is my good fortune, for I have observed your precepts.	56 Hoc factum est mihi, quia mandata tua servavi.
57 My portion is the LORD; I promise to keep your words.	57 HETH. Portio mea Dominus: dixi custodire verba tua.
58 I entreat you with all my heart: have mercy on me in accord with your promise.	58 Deprecatus sum faciem tuam in toto corde meo; miserere mei secundum eloquium tuum.
59 I have examined my ways and turned my steps to your decrees.	59 Cogitavi vias meas et converti pedes meos in testimonia tua.
60 I am prompt, I do not hesitate in keeping your commands.	60 Festinavi et non sum moratus, ut custodiam praecepta tua.
61 Though the snares of the wicked surround me, your teaching I do not forget.	61 Funes peccatorum circumplexi sunt me, et legem tuam non sum oblitus.
62 At midnight I rise to praise you because your edicts are just.	62 Media nocte surgebam ad confitendum tibi super iudicia iustitiae tuae.
63 I am the friend of all who fear you, of all who keep your precepts.	63 Particeps ego sum omnium timentium te et custodientium mandata tua.
64 The earth, LORD, is filled with your love; teach me your laws.	64 Misericordia tua, Domine, plena est terra; iustificationes tuas doce me.
65 You have treated your servant well, according to your word, O LORD.	65 TETH. Bonitatem fecisti cum servo tuo, Domine, secundum verbum tuum.
66 Teach me wisdom and knowledge, for in your commands I trust.	66 Bonitatem et prudentiam et scientiam doce me, quia praeceptis tuis credidi.
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I hold to your promise.	67 Priusquam humiliarer ego erravi; nunc autem eloquium tuum custodiam.
68 You are good and do what is good; teach me your laws.	68 Bonus es tu et benefaciens, doce me iustificationes tuas.
69 The arrogant smear me with lies, but I observe your precepts with all my heart.	69 Excogitaverunt contra me dolosa superbi, ego autem in toto corde meo servabo mandata tua.
70 Their hearts are gross and fat; as for me, your teaching is my delight.	70 Incrassatum est sicut adeps cor eorum, ego vero in lege tua delectatus sum.
71 It was good for me to be afflicted, in order to learn your laws.	71 Bonum mihi quia humiliatus sum, ut discam iustificationes tuas.
72 Teaching from your lips is more precious to me than heaps of silver and gold.	72 Bonum mihi lex oris tui super milia auri et argenti.
73 Your hands made me and fashioned me; give me insight to learn your commands.	73 IOD. Manus tuae fecerunt me et plasmaverunt me; da mihi intellectum, et discam praecepta tua.
74 Those who fear you rejoice to see me, because I hope in your word.	74 Qui timent te, videbunt me et laetabuntur, quia in verba tua supersperavi.
75 I know, LORD, that your edicts are just; though you afflict me, you are faithful.	75 Cognovi, Domine, quia aequitas iudicia tua, et in veritate humiliasti me.
76 May your love comfort me in accord with your promise to your servant.	76 Fiat misericordia tua, ut consoletur me, secundum eloquium tuum servo tuo.
77 Show me compassion that I may live, for your teaching is my delight.	77 Veniant mihi miserationes tuae, et vivam, quia lex tua delectatio mea est.
78 Shame the proud for oppressing me unjustly, that I may study your precepts.	78 Confundantur superbi, quoniam dolose incurvaverunt me, ego autem exercebor in mandatis tuis.
79 Let those who fear you turn to me, those who acknowledge your decrees.	79 Convertantur mihi timentes te, et qui noverunt testimonia tua.
80 May I be wholehearted toward your laws, that I may not be put to shame.	80 Fiat cor meum immaculatum in iustificationibus tuis, ut non confundar.
81 My soul longs for your salvation; I put my hope in your word.	81 CAPH. Defecit in salutare tuum anima mea, et in verbum tuum supersperavi.
82 My eyes long to see your promise. When will you comfort me?	82 Defecerunt oculi mei in eloquium tuum, dicentes: “ Quando consolaberis me? ”.
83 I am like a wineskin shriveled by smoke, but I have not forgotten your laws.	83 Quia factus sum sicut uter in fumo; iustificationes tuas non sum oblitus.
84 How long can your servant survive? When will your edict doom my foes?	84 Quot sunt dies servi tui? Quando facies de persequentibus me iudicium?
85 The arrogant have dug pits for me; defying your teaching.	85 Foderunt mihi foveas superbi, qui non sunt secundum legem tuam.
86 All your commands are steadfast. Help me! I am pursued without cause.	86 Omnia praecepta tua veritas; dolose persecuti sunt me; adiuva me.
87 They have almost ended my life on earth, but I do not forsake your precepts.	87 Paulo minus consummaverunt me in terra, ego autem non dereliqui mandata tua.
88 In your kindness give me life, to keep the decrees you have spoken.	88 Secundum misericordiam tuam vivifica me, et custodiam testimonia oris tui. -
89 Your word, LORD, stands forever; it is firm as the heavens.	89 LAMED. In aeternum, Domine, verbum tuum constitutum est in caelo.
90 Through all generations your truth endures; fixed to stand firm like the earth.	90 In generationem et generationem veritas tua; firmasti terram, et permanet.
91 By your edicts they stand firm to this day, for all things are your servants.	91 Secundum iudicia tua permanent hodie, quoniam omnia serviunt tibi.
92 Had your teaching not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.	92 Nisi quod lex tua delectatio mea est, tunc forte periissem in humilia tione mea.
93 I will never forget your precepts; through them you give me life.	93 In aeternum non obliviscar man data tua, quia in ipsis vivificasti me.
94 I am yours; save me, for I cherish your precepts.	94 Tuus sum ego: salvum me fac, quoniam mandata tua exqui sivi.
95 The wicked hope to destroy me, but I pay heed to your decrees.	95 Me exspectaverunt peccatores, ut perderent me; testimonia tua intellexi.
96 I have seen the limits of all perfection, but your command is without bounds.	96 Omni consummationi vidi finem, latum praeceptum tuum nimis.
97 How I love your teaching, Lord! I study it all day long.	97 MEM. Quomodo dilexi legem tuam, Domine; tota die meditatio mea est.
98 Your command makes me wiser than my foes, for it is always with me.	98 Super inimicos meos sapientem me fecit praeceptum tuum, quia in aeternum mihi est.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers, because I ponder your decrees.	99 Super omnes docentes me prudens factus sum, quia testimonia tua meditatio mea est.
100 I have more insight than my elders, because I observe your precepts.	100 Super senes intellexi, quia mandata tua servavi.
101 I keep my steps from every evil path, that I may obey your word.	101 Ab omni via mala prohibui pedes meos, ut custodiam verba tua.
102 From your edicts I do not turn, for you have taught them to me.	102 A iudiciis tuis non declinavi, quia tu legem posuisti mihi.
103 How sweet to my tongue is your promise, sweeter than honey to my mouth!	103 Quam dulcia faucibus meis eloquia tua, super mel ori meo.
104 Through your precepts I gain insight; therefore I hate all false ways.	104 A mandatis tuis intellexi; propterea odivi omnem viam mendacii.
105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light for my path.	105 NUN. Lucerna pedibus meis verbum tuum et lumen semitis meis.
106 I make a solemn vow to keep your just edicts.	106 Iuravi et statui custodire iudicia iustitiae tuae.
107 I am very much afflicted, LORD; give me life in accord with your word.	107 Humiliatus sum usquequaque, Domine; vivifica me secundum verbum tuum.
108 Accept my freely offered praise; LORD, teach me your decrees.	108 Voluntaria oris mei beneplacita sint, Domine, et iudicia tua doce me.
109 My life is always at risk, but I do not forget your teaching.	109 Anima mea in manibus meis semper, et legem tuam non sum oblitus.
110 The wicked have set snares for me, but from your precepts I do not stray.	110 Posuerunt peccatores laqueum mihi, et de mandatis tuis non erravi.
111 Your decrees are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart.	111 Hereditas mea testimonia tua in aeternum, quia exsultatio cordis mei sunt.
112 My heart is set on fulfilling your laws; they are my reward forever.	112 Inclinavi cor meum ad faciendas iustificationes tuas in aeternum, in finem.
113 I hate every hypocrite; your teaching I love.	113 SAMECH. Duplices corde odio habui et legem tuam dilexi.
114 You are my refuge and shield; in your word I hope.	114 Tegmen et scutum meum es tu, et in verbum tuum supersperavi.
115 Depart from me, you wicked, that I may observe the commands of my God.	115 Declinate a me, maligni, et servabo praecepta Dei mei.
116 Sustain me by your promise that I may live; do not disappoint me in my hope.	116 Suscipe me secundum eloquium tuum, et vivam; et non confundas me ab exspectatione mea.
117 Strengthen me that I may be safe, ever to contemplate your laws.	117 Sustenta me, et salvus ero et delectabor in iustificationibus tuis semper.
118 You reject all who stray from your laws, for vain is their deceit.	118 Sprevisti omnes discedentes a iustificationibus tuis, quia mendacium cogitatio eorum.
119 Like dross you regard all the wicked on earth; therefore I love your decrees.	119 Quasi scoriam delesti omnes peccatores terrae; ideo dilexi testimonia tua.
120 My flesh shudders with dread of you; I hold your edicts in awe.	120 Horruit a timore tuo caro mea; a iudiciis enim tuis timui.
121 I have fulfilled your just edict; do not abandon me to my oppressors.	121 AIN. Feci iudicium et iustitiam; non tradas me calumniantibus me.
122 Guarantee your servant's welfare; do not let the arrogant oppress me.	122 Sponde pro servo tuo in bonum; non calumnientur me superbi.
123 My eyes long to see your salvation and the justice of your promise.	123 Oculi mei defecerunt in desiderio salutaris tui et eloquii iustitiae tuae.
124 Act with kindness toward your servant; teach me your laws.	124 Fac cum servo tuo secundum misericordiam tuam et iustificationes tuas doce me.
125 I am your servant; give me discernment that I may know your decrees.	125 Servus tuus sum ego; da mihi intellectum, ut sciam testimonia tua.
126 It is time for the LORD to act; they have disobeyed your teaching.	126 Tempus faciendi Domino; dissipaverunt legem tuam.
127 Truly I love your commands more than the finest gold.	127 Ideo dilexi praecepta tua super aurum et obryzum.
128 Thus I follow all your precepts; every wrong way I hate.	128 Propterea ad omnia mandata tua dirigebar, omnem viam mendacii odio habui. -
129 Wonderful are your decrees; therefore I observe them.	129 PHE. Mirabilia testimonia tua, ideo servavit ea anima mea.
130 The revelation of your words sheds light, gives understanding to the simple.	130 Declaratio sermonum tuorum illuminat et intellectum dat parvulis.
131 I sigh with open mouth, yearning for your commands.	131 Os meum aperui et attraxi spiritum, quia praecepta tua desiderabam.
132 Turn to me and be gracious, your edict for lovers of your name.	132 Convertere in me et miserere mei secundum iudicium tuum cum diligentibus nomen tuum.
133 Steady my feet in accord with your promise; do not let iniquity lead me.	133 Gressus meos dirige secundum eloquium tuum, et non dominetur mei omnis iniquitas.
134 Free me from human oppression, that I may keep your precepts.	134 Redime me a calumniis hominum, ut custodiam mandata tua.
135 Let your face shine upon your servant; teach me your laws.	135 Faciem tuam illumina super servum tuum et doce me iustificationes tuas.
136 My eyes shed streams of tears because your teaching is not followed.	136 Rivulos aquarum deduxerunt oculi mei, quia non custodierunt legem tuam.
137 You are righteous, LORD, and just are your edicts.	137 SADE. Iustus es, Domine, et rectum iudicium tuum.
138 You have issued your decrees in justice and in surpassing faithfulness.	138 Mandasti in iustitia testimonia tua et in veritate nimis.
139 I am consumed with rage, because my foes forget your words.	139 Consumpsit me zelus meus, quia obliti sunt verba tua inimici mei.
140 Your servant loves your promise; it has been proved by fire.	140 Ignitum eloquium tuum vehementer, et servus tuus dilexit illud.
141 Though belittled and despised, I do not forget your precepts.	141 Adulescentulus sum ego et contemptus; mandata tua non sum oblitus.
142 Your justice is forever right, your teaching forever true.	142 Iustitia tua iustitia in aeternum, et lex tua veritas.
143 Though distress and anguish come upon me, your commands are my delight.	143 Tribulatio et angustia invenerunt me; praecepta tua delectatio mea est.
144 Your decrees are forever just; give me discernment that I may live.	144 Iustitia testimonia tua in aeternum; intellectum da mihi, et vivam.

146 I call to you to save me that I may keep your decrees.	146 Clamavi ad te, salvum me fac, ut custodiam testimonia tua.
147 I rise before dawn and cry out; I put my hope in your words.	147 Praeveni diluculo et clamavi, in verba tua supersperavi.
148 My eyes greet the night watches as I meditate on your promise.	148 Praevenerunt oculi mei vigilias, ut meditarer eloquia tua.
149 Hear my voice in your love, O LORD; by your edict give me life.	149 Vocem meam audi secundum misericordiam tuam, Domine, secundum iudicium tuum vivifica me.
150 Malicious persecutors draw near me; they are far from your teaching.	150 Appropinquaverunt persequentes me in malitia, a lege autem tua longe facti sunt.
151 You are near, O LORD; reliable are all your commands.	151 Prope es tu, Domine, et omnia praecepta tua veritas.
152 Long have I known from your decrees that you have established them forever.	152 Ab initio cognovi de testimoniis tuis, quia in aeternum fundasti ea.
153 Look at my affliction and rescue me, for I have not forgotten your teaching.	153 RES. Vide humiliationem meam et eripe me, quia legem tuam non sum oblitus.
154 Take up my cause and redeem me; for the sake of your promise give me life.	154 Iudica causam meam et redime me; propter eloquium tuum vivifica me.
155 Salvation is far from sinners because they do not cherish your laws.	155 Longe a peccatoribus salus, quia iustificationes tuas non exquisierunt.
156 Your compassion is great, O LORD; in accord with your edicts give me life.	156 Misericordiae tuae multae, Domine; secundum iudicia tua vivifica me.
157 Though my persecutors and foes are many I do not turn from your decrees.	157 Multi, qui persequuntur me et tribulant me; a testimoniis tuis non declinavi.
158 I view the faithless with loathing, because they do not heed your promise.	158 Vidi praevaricantes, et taeduit me, quia eloquia tua non custodierunt.
159 See how I love your precepts, LORD; in your kindness give me life.	159 Vide quoniam mandata tua dilexi, Domine; secundum misericordiam tuam vivifica me.
160 Your every word is enduring; all your just edicts are forever.	160 Principium verborum tuorum veritas, in aeternum omnia iudicia iustitiae tuae.
161 Princes persecute me without reason, but my heart reveres only your word.	161 SIN. Principes persecuti sunt me gratis, et a verbis tuis formidavit cor meum.
162 I rejoice at your promise, as one who has found rich spoil.	162 Laetabor ego super eloquia tua, sicut qui invenit spolia multa.
163 Falsehood I hate and abhor; your teaching I love.	163 Mendacium odio habui et abominatus sum; legem autem tuam dilexi.
164 Seven times a day I praise you because your edicts are just.	164 Septies in die laudem dixi tibi super iudicia iustitiae tuae.
165 Lovers of your teaching have much peace; for them there is no stumbling block.	165 Pax multa diligentibus legem tuam, et non est illis scandalum.
166 I look for your salvation, LORD, and I fulfill your commands.	166 Exspectabam salutare tuum, Domine, et praecepta tua feci.
167 I observe your decrees; I love them very much.	167 Custodivit anima mea testimonia tua, et dilexi ea vehementer.
168 I observe your precepts and decrees; all my ways are before you.	168 Servavi mandata tua et testimonia tua, quia omnes viae meae in conspectu tuo.
169 Let my cry come before you, LORD; in keeping with your word give me discernment.	169 TAU. Appropinquet deprecatio mea in conspectu tuo, Domine; iuxta verbum tuum da mihi intellectum.
170 Let my prayer come before you; rescue me according to your promise.	170 Intret postulatio mea in conspectu tuo; secundum eloquium tuum libera me.
171 May my lips pour forth your praise, because you teach me your laws.	171 Eructabunt labia mea hymnum, cum docueris me iustificationes tuas.
172 May my tongue sing of your promise, for all your commands are just.	172 Cantet lingua mea eloquium tuum, quia omnia praecepta tua iustitia.
173 Keep your hand ready to help me, for I have chosen your precepts.	173 Fiat manus tua, ut adiuvet me, quoniam mandata tua elegi.
174 I long for your salvation, LORD; your teaching is my delight.	174 Concupivi salutare tuum, Domine, et lex tua delectatio mea est.
175 Let me live to praise you; may your edicts give me help.	175 Vivet anima mea et laudabit te, et iudicia tua adiuvabunt me.
176 I have wandered like a lost sheep; seek out your servant, for I do not forget your commands.	176 Erravi sicut ovis, quae periit; quaere servum tuum, quia praecepta tua non sum oblitus.
