Psalm 119 · 5 of 5

Translated by James Anderson

ש [Shin.]

161 ש Princes have persecuted me without a cause Yet at thy word afraid hath been my heart.

162 ש Joyful am I over thy word, As he who hath found much spoil.

163 ש Deceit I have hated and abhorred; Thy law I have loved.

164 ש Seven times a day have I praised thee, Because of the judgments of thy righteousness.

165 ש Much peace have those who love thy law, And they have no stumbling-block.

166 ש I have waited for thy salvation, O Jehovah! And thy commandments I have done.

167 ש Kept hath my soul thy testimonies, And I have loved them exceedingly.

168 ש I have kept thy commandments and thy testimonies; For all my ways are before thee.

ת [Thau.]

169 ת Come let my cry into thy presence, O Jehovah! According to thy word give me understanding.

170 ת Come let my prayer into thy presence: According to thy word deliver me.

171 ת Speak shall my lips praise, When thou shalt have taught me thy statutes.

172 ת Speak shall my tongue of thy word; For all thy precepts are righteousness.

173 ת Let thy hand be to succor me; For thy commandments I have chosen.

174 ת I have longed for thy salvation, O Jehovah! And thy law hath been my delights.

175 ת Live let my soul, and let it praise thee; And let thy judgments succor me.

176 ת I have wandered like a lost sheep; Seek thy servant, for thy statutes I have not forgotten.
