Psalms 119:129-136

17. Pe

Your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soul keeps them.
The opening of Your words gives light, imparting understanding to the simple.
I opened my mouth wide and panted, for I longed for Your commandments.
Turn to me, and be gracious to me, as is Your custom with those who love Your name.
Establish my footsteps in Your word, and do not let any iniquity have dominion over me.
Redeem me from man's oppression, that I may keep Your precepts.
Cause Your face to shine on Your servant, and teach me Your statutes.
My eyes shed streams of water, because men do not keep Your law.

Psalms 119:121-128

16. Ayin

I have performed justice and righteousness; do not leave me to my oppressors.
Guarantee Your servant's well-being; do not let the proud oppress me.
My eyes faint while longing for Your salvation and for Your righteous word.
Deal with Your servant according to Your lovingkindness, and teach me Your statutes.
I am Your servant; give me understanding, that I may know Your testimonies.
It is time for Jehovah to act, for they have broken Your law.
Therefore I love Your commandments more than gold, indeed, more than fine gold;
Therefore I esteem all Your precepts concerning all things to be right, and I hate every false way.

Psalms 119:113-120

15. Samekh

I hate those who are double-minded, but I love Your law.
You are my hiding place and my shield; in Your word do I hope.
Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God.
Uphold me according to Your word that I may live, and do not let me be ashamed of my hope.
Hold me up that I may be safe, and I will regard Your statutes continually.
You spurn all those who stray from Your statutes, for their deceitfulness is vain.
You do away with all the wicked ones of the earth like dross; therefore I love Your testimonies.
My flesh trembles for fear of You, and I am afraid of Your judgments.

Psalms 119:105-112

14. Nun

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
I have sworn and will confirm it, that I will keep Your righteous ordinances.
I have been greatly afflicted; O Jehovah, enliven me according to Your word.
Accept, I pray, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Jehovah; and teach me Your ordinances.
My soul is continually in my hand, but I do not forget Your law.
The wicked have laid a trap for me, but I do not stray from Your precepts.
Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the gladness of my heart.
I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes forever, to the end.

Psalms 119:97-104

13. Mem

Oh, how I love Your law! All day long it is my musing.
Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies, for they are always with me.
I have more insight than all my teachers, for Your testimonies are my musing.
I understand more than the aged, for I have kept Your precepts.
I have withheld my feet from every evil way, that I might keep Your word.
I have not turned aside from Your ordinances, for You have taught me.
How sweet are Your words to my taste! Sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Through Your precepts I gain understanding; therefore I hate every false way.

Psalms 119:89-96

12. Lamedh

Forever, O Jehovah, does Your word stand firm in heaven.
Your faithfulness is from generation to generation; You established the earth, and it abides.
They abide to this day according to Your ordinances, for all things are Your servants.
Unless Your law had been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.
I will never forget Your precepts, for by them You have enlivened me.
I am Yours; save me, for I have sought Your precepts.
The wicked have waited for me in order to destroy me, but I consider Your testimonies.
I have seen an end to all perfection, but Your commandment is all-expansive.

Psalms 119:81-88

11. Kaph

My soul faints while longing for Your salvation; I hope in Your word.
My eyes faint while longing for Your word, as I say, when will You comfort me?
For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke; but I do not forget Your statutes.
How many are the days of Your servant? When will You execute justice upon my persecutors?
The proud have dug pits for me, those who are not according to Your law.
All Your commandments are faithful; they persecute me falsely; help me.
They have almost consumed me upon the earth; but I have not forsaken Your precepts.
Enliven me according to Your lovingkindness, and I will keep the testimony of Your mouth.
