1Alleluia. [Aleph.] Blessed be men without wem in the way; that go in the law of the Lord.2Blessed be they, that seek his wit-nessings; and seek him in all the heart.3For they that work wickedness; went not in his ways.4Thou hast commanded; that thy behests be kept greatly.5I would that my ways were dressed; to keep thy justifyings.6Then I shall not be shamed; when I shall behold perfectly in all thy behests.7I shall acknowledge to thee in the dressing [or right ruling] of mine heart; in that that I learned the dooms of thy rightfulnesses [or rightwiseness].8I shall keep thy justifyings; forsake thou not me on each side.9[Beth.] In what thing amendeth a young waxing man his way? in keep-ing thy words.10In all mine heart I sought thee; put thou me not away from thy behests.11In mine heart I hid thy speeches; that I do not sin against thee.12Lord, thou art blessed; teach thou me thy justifyings.13In my lips I have pronounced; all the dooms of thy mouth.14I delighted in the way of thy witnessings; as in all riches.15I shall be exercised, either busily occupied, in thy behests; and I shall behold thy ways.16I shall bethink in thy justifyings; I shall not forget thy words.17[Gimel.] Yield to thy servant; quicken thou me, and I shall keep thy words.18Lighten thou mine eyes; and I shall behold the marvels of thy law.19I am a comeling in earth; hide thou not thy behests from me.20My soul coveted to desire thy justifyings; in all time.21Thou blamedest the proud; they be cursed, that bow away from thy behests.22Do thou away from me shame and despising; for I sought thy witnessings.23For why princes sat, and spake against me; but thy servant was exercised in thy justifyings.24For why and thy witnessings is my thinking; and my counsel is thy justifyings.25[Daleth.] My soul cleaved to the pavement; quicken thou me by thy word.26I told out my ways, and thou heardest me; teach thou me thy justifyings.27Learn [or Inform] thou me the way of thy justifyings; and I shall be exercised in thy marvels.28My soul napped for annoyance; confirm thou me in thy words.29Remove thou from me the way of wickedness; and in thy law have thou mercy on me.30I chose the way of truth; I forgat not thy dooms.31Lord, I cleaved to thy witnessings; do not thou shame me.32I ran the way of thy command-ments; when thou alargedest mine heart.33[He.] Lord, set thou to me a law, the way of thy justifyings; and I shall seek it ever[more].34Give thou understanding to me, and I shall seek thy law; and I shall keep it in all mine heart.35Lead me forth in the path of thy behests; for I would or delight in it.36Bow down mine heart into thy witnessings; and not into avarice.37Turn thou away mine eyes, that they see not vanity; quicken thou me in thy way.38Ordain thy speech to thy servant; in thy dread.39Cut away my shame, which I supposed; for thy dooms be merry.40Lo! I coveted thy commandments; quicken thou me in thine equity.41[Vau.] And, Lord, thy mercy come [up] on me; thine health come by thy speech.42And I shall answer a word to men saying shame to me; for I hoped in thy words.43And take thou not away from my mouth the word of truth utterly; for I hoped above in thy dooms.44And I shall keep thy law ever-[more]; into the world, and into the world of world.45And I went in largeness; for I sought thy commandments.46And I spake of thy witnessings in the sight of kings; and I was not shamed.47And I bethought in thy behests; which I loved.48And I raised mine hands to thy commandments, which I loved; and I shall be exercised in thy justifyings.49[Zain.] Lord, have thou mind on thy word to thy servant; in which word thou hast given hope to me.50This comforted me in my lowness; for thy word quickened me.51Proud men did wickedly to me by all things; but I bowed not away from thy law.52Lord, I was mindful of thy dooms from the world; and I was comforted.53Failing held me; for sinners for-saking thy law.54Thy justifyings were delightable to me to be sung; in the place of my pilgrimage.55Lord, I had mind of thy name by night; and I kept thy law.56This thing was made to me; for I sought thy justifyings.57[Cheth.] Lord, my part; I said to keep thy law.58I besought thy face in all mine heart; have thou mercy on me by thy speech.59I bethought on my ways; and I turned my feet into thy witnessings.60I am ready, and I am not troubled; to keep thy commandments.61The cords of sinners have em-braced me; and I have not forgotten thy law.62At midnight, I rose to acknowl-edge to thee; on the dooms of thy justifyings.63I am partner of all that dread thee; and keep thy behests.64Lord, the earth is full of thy mercy; teach thou me thy justifyings.65[Teth.] Lord, thou hast done good-ness with thy servant; by thy word.66Teach thou me goodness, and lore, either chastising, and knowing; for I believed to thy behests.67Before that I was made meek, I trespassed; therefore I kept thy speech.68Thou art good; and in thy good-ness teach thou me thy justifyings.69The wickedness of them that be proud, is multiplied on me; but in all mine heart I shall seek thy behests.70The heart of them is crudded, either made hard, as milk; but I be-thought on thy law.71It is good to me, that thou hast made me meek; that I learn thy justi-fyings.72The law out of thy mouth is better to me; than thousands of gold and silver.73[Jod.] Thine hands made me, and formed me; give thou understanding to me, that I learn thy behests.74They that dread thee shall see me, and they shall be glad; for I hoped more on thy words.75Lord, I knew, that thy dooms be equity; and in thy truth thou hast made me meek.76Thy mercy be made, that it comfort me; by thy speech to thy servant.77Thy merciful doings come to me, and I shall live; for thy law is my thinking.78They that be proud be shamed, for unjustly they did wickedness against me; but I shall be exercised in thy behests.79They that dread thee be turned to me; and they that know thy witnessings.80Mine heart be made unwemmed in thy justifyings; that I be not shamed.81[Caph.] My soul failed into thine health; and I hoped more in thy word.82Mine eyes failed into thy speech; saying, When shalt thou comfort me?83For I am made as a bouget [or bottle] in frost; I have not forgotten thy justifyings.84How many be the days of thy servant; when thou shalt make doom of them that pursue me?85Wicked men told to me janglings; but not as thy law.86All thy commandments be truth; wicked men have pursued me, help thou me.87Almost they ended me in [the] earth; but I forsook not thy command-ments.88By thy mercy quicken thou me; and I shall keep the witnessings of thy mouth.89[Lamed.] Lord, thy word dwelleth in heaven; without end.90Thy truth dwelleth in generation, and into generation; thou hast founded the earth, and it dwelleth.91The day lasteth continually by thy ordinances; for all things serve to thee.92But for thy law was my thinking; then peradventure I had perished in my lowness.93Without end I shall not forget thy justifyings; for in those [or them] thou hast quickened me.94I am thine, make thou me safe; for I have sought thy justifyings.95Sinners abode me, for to lose me; I understood thy witnessings.96I saw the end of all end; thy commandment is full large.97[Mem.] Lord, how loved I [or I loved] thy law; all day it is my thinking.98Above mine enemies thou madest me prudent by thy commandment; for it is to me without end.99I understood over all men teaching me; for thy witnessings is my thinking.100I understood above eld [or old] men; for I sought thy commandments.101I forbade my feet from all evil way; that I keep thy words.102I bowed not from thy dooms; for thou hast set law to me.103Thy speeches be full sweet to my cheeks; above honey to my mouth.104I understood of thy behests; there-fore I hated all the ways of wickedness.105[Nun.] Thy word is a lantern to my feet; and a light to my paths.106I swore, and purposed steadfastly; to keep the dooms of thy rightfulness [or rightwiseness].107I am made low by all things; Lord, quicken thou me by thy word.108Lord, make thou well pleasing the willful things of my mouth; and teach thou me thy dooms.109My soul is ever[more] in mine hands; and I forgat not thy law.110Sinners setted a snare to me; and I erred not from thy commandments.111I purchased thy witnessings by heritage without end; for those [or they] be the full [out] joying of mine heart.112I bowed mine heart to do thy justifyings without end; for reward.113[Samech.] I hated wicked men; and I loved thy law.114Thou art mine helper, and mine up-taker; and I hoped more in thy word.115Ye wicked men, bow away from me; and I shall seek the command-ments of my God.116Up-take thou me by thy word, and I shall live; and shame thou not me for mine abiding.117Help thou me, and I shall be safe; and I shall bethink ever[more] in thy justifyings.118Thou hast forsaken all men going away from thy dooms; for the thought of them is unjust.119I areckoned all the sinners of earth to be breakers of the law; therefore I loved thy witnessings.120Nail thou my flesh with thy dread; for I dreaded of thy dooms.121[Ain.] I did doom and rightwise-ness; betake thou not me to them that falsely challenge me.122Take up thy servant into goodness; they that be proud challenge not me.123Mine eyes failed into thine health; and into the speech of thy rightful-ness [or rightwiseness].124Do thou with thy servant after thy mercy; and teach thou me thy justify-ings.125I am thy servant; give thou under-standing to me, that I know thy witnessings.126Lord, it is time to do; they have destroyed thy law.127Therefore I loved thy command-ments; more than gold and topaz.128Therefore I was dressed to all thy behests; I hated all wicked way.129[Pe.] Lord, thy witnessings be wonderful; therefore my soul sought those [or them].130Declaring of thy words lighteneth; and it giveth understanding to meek men.131I opened my mouth, and drew the spirit; for I desired thy commandments.132Behold thou on me, and have mercy on me; by the doom of them that love thy name.133Dress thou my goings by thy speech; that all unrightfulness have not lordship on me.134Again-buy thou me from the false challenges of men; that I keep thy behests.135Lighten thy face on thy servant; and teach thou me thy justifyings.136Mine eyes led forth the outgoings of waters; for they kept not thy law.137[Tzaddi.] Lord, thou art just [or rightwise]; and thy doom is rightful [or right].138Thou hast commanded rightfulness [or rightwiseness], thy witnessings; and thy truth greatly to be kept.139My fervent love made me to be melted, either languished; for mine enemies forgat thy words.140Thy speech is set afire; and thy servant loved it.141I am young, and despised; I forgat not thy justifyings.142Lord, thy rightfulness [or rightwise-ness]is rightfulness [or rightwiseness] without end; and thy law is truth.143Tribulation and anguish have found me; thy behests is my thinking.144Thy witnessings is equity without end; give thou understanding to me, and I shall live.145[Koph.] I cried in all mine heart, Lord, hear thou me; I shall seek thy justifyings.146I cried to thee, make thou me safe; that I keep thy commandments.147I before came in ripeness, and I cried; I hoped above on thy words.148Mine eyes before came to thee full early; that I should bethink on thy speeches.149Lord, hear thou my voice by thy mercy; and quicken [or enliven] thou me by thy doom.150They that pursue me nighed to wickedness; forsooth they be made far from thy law.151Lord, thou art nigh; and all thy ways be truth.152In the beginning I knew of thy witnessings; for thou hast founded those [or them] without end.153[Resh.] See thou my meekness, and deliver thou me; for I forgat not thy law.154Deem thou my doom, and again-buy thou me; quicken thou me for thy speech.155Health is far from sinners; for they sought not thy justifyings.156Lord, thy mercies be many; quicken thou me by thy doom.157They be many that pursue me, and do tribulation to me; I bowed not away from thy witnessings.158I saw breakers of the law, and I was melted, either languished; for they kept not thy speeches.159Lord, see thou, for I loved thy commandments; quicken thou me in thy mercy.160The beginning of thy word is truth; all the dooms of thy rightwise-ness be without end.161[Schin.] Princes pursued me with-out cause; and my heart dreaded of thy words.162I shall be glad on thy speeches; as he that findeth many spoils.163I hated and loathed wickedness; forsooth I loved thy law.164I said praisings to thee seven times in the day; on the dooms of thy rightfulness [or rightwiseness].165Much peace is to them that love thy law; and no cause of stumbling is to them.166Lord, I abode thine health; and I loved thy behests.167My soul kept thy witnessings; and loved those [or them] greatly.168I kept thy commandments, and thy witnessings; for all my ways be in thy sight.169[Tau.] Lord, my beseeching come nigh in thy sight; by thy speech give thou understanding to me.170Mine asking enter into thy sight; by thy speech deliver thou me.171My lips shall tell out an hymn; when thou hast taught me thy justi-fyings.172My tongue shall pronounce thy speech; for why all thy command-ments be equity.173Thine hand be made, that it save me; for I have chosen thy behests.174Lord, I coveted thine health; and thy law is my thinking.175My soul shall live, and it shall praise thee; and thy dooms shall help me.176I erred as a sheep that perished; Lord, seek thy servant, for I forgat not thy commandments.
