119:2 Blessed [are] they that keep his testimonies, [and that] seek him with the whole heart.
119:3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

119:10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
119:11 Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.
119:12 Blessed [art] thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.
119:13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
119:14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as [much as] in all riches.

119:16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
119:17 GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, [that] I may live, and keep thy word.
119:18 Open thou my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
119:19 I [am] a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
119:20 My soul breaketh for the longing [that it hath] to thy judgments at all times.
119:21 Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed, who do err from thy commandments.
119:22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.
119:23 Princes also did sit [and] speak against me: [but] thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.
119:24 Thy testimonies also [are] my delight, [and] my counselors.
119:25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth to the dust: revive thou me according to thy word.

119:34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yes, I shall observe it with [my] whole heart.
119:35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for in that do I delight.
119:36 Incline my heart to thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
119:37 Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity; [and] revive thou me in thy way.
119:38 Establish thy word to thy servant, who [is devoted] to thy fear.
119:39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments [are] good.
119:40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: revive me in thy righteousness.
119:41 VAU. Let thy mercies come also to me, O LORD, [even] thy salvation, according to thy word.

119:43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.
119:44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.
119:45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
119:46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.

119:72 The law of thy mouth [is] better to me than thousands of gold and silver.
119:73 JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
119:74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.
119:75 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments [are] right, and [that] thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
119:76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word to thy servant.
119:77 Let thy tender mercies come to me, that I may live: for thy law [is] my delight.

119:83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; [yet] I do not forget thy statutes.
119:84 How many [are] the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
119:85 The proud have digged pits for me, which [are] not according to thy law.
