- 1 ALEPH. Blessed are they that are perfect in the way, Who walk in the law of Jehovah.
- 2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, That seek him with the whole heart.
- 3 Yea, they do no unrighteousness; They walk in his ways.
- 4 Thou hast commanded [us] thy precepts, That we should observe them diligently.
- 5 Oh that my ways were established To observe thy statutes!
- 6 Then shall I not be put to shame, When I have respect unto all thy commandments.
- 7 I will give thanks unto thee with uprightness of heart, When I learn thy righteous judgments.
- 8 I will observe thy statutes: Oh forsake me not utterly. BETH.
- 9 Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed [thereto] according to thy word.
- 10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: Oh let me not wander from thy commandments.
- 11 Thy word have I laid up in my heart, That I might not sin against thee.
- 12 Blessed art thou, O Jehovah: Teach me thy statutes.
- 13 With my lips have I declared All the ordinances of thy mouth.

- 16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. GIMEL.
- 17 Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live; So will I observe thy word.
- 18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold Wondrous things out of thy law.
- 19 I am a sojourner in the earth: Hide not thy commandments from me.
- 20 My soul breaketh for the longing That it hath unto thine ordinances at all times.
- 21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, That do wander from thy commandments.
- 22 Take away from me reproach and contempt; For I have kept thy testimonies.
- 23 Princes also sat and talked against me; [But] thy servant did meditate on thy statutes.
- 24 Thy testimonies also are my delight [And] my counsellors. DALETH.
- 25 My soul cleaveth unto the dust: Quicken thou me according to thy word.

- 83 For I am become like a wine-skin 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?
