Psalm 119:121-144

Your Word Is a Lamp to My Feet

Ayin

121
I have done what is just and right;
do not leave me to my oppressors.
 122 Give your servant l a pledge of good;
let not m the insolent oppress me.
 123 My n eyes long for your salvation
and for the fulfillment of your righteous promise.
 124 Deal with your servant according to your steadfast love,
and o teach me your statutes.
 125 I am your p servant; q give me understanding,
that I may know your testimonies!
 126 It is time for the Lord to act,
for your law has been broken.
 127 Therefore I r love your commandments
above gold, above fine gold.
 128 Therefore I consider all your precepts to be right;
I hate every s false way.

Pe

129
Your testimonies are t wonderful;
therefore my soul u keeps them.
 130 The unfolding of your words gives light;
it imparts v understanding to the simple.
 131 I w open my mouth and x pant,
because I y long for your commandments.
 132 z Turn to me and be gracious to me,
as is your way with those who love your name.
 133 a Keep steady my steps according to your promise,
and let no iniquity b get dominion over me.
 134 c Redeem me from man's oppression,
that I may keep your precepts.
 135 d Make your face shine upon your servant,
and e teach me your statutes.
 136 My eyes f shed streams of tears,
because people g do not keep your law.

Tsadhe

137
h Righteous are you, O Lord,
and right are your rules.
 138 You have appointed your testimonies in i righteousness
and in all j faithfulness.
 139 My k zeal consumes me,
because my foes forget your words.
 140 Your promise is well l tried,
and your servant m loves it.
 141 I am small and despised,
yet I do not n forget your precepts.
 142 Your righteousness is righteous forever,
and your law is o true.
 143 Trouble and anguish have found me out,
but your commandments are my p delight.
 144 Your testimonies are righteous forever;
q give me understanding that I may r live.
