1 αλληλουια {A#} αλφ μακάριοι οἱ ἄμωμοι ἐν ὁδῷ οἱ πορευόμενοι ἐν νόμῳ κυρίου 2 μακάριοι οἱ ἐξερευνῶντες τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτοῦ ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ ἐκζητήσουσιν αὐτόν 3 οὐ γὰρ οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ ἐπορεύθησαν 4 σὺ ἐνετείλω τὰς ἐντολάς σου φυλάξασθαι σφόδρα 5 ὄφελον κατευθυνθείησαν αἱ ὁδοί μου τοῦ φυλάξασθαι τὰ δικαιώματά σου 6 τότε οὐ μὴ ἐπαισχυνθῶ ἐν τῷ με ἐπιβλέπειν ἐπὶ πάσας τὰς ἐντολάς σου 7 ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι κύριε ἐν εὐθύτητι καρδίας ἐν τῷ μεμαθηκέναι με τὰ κρίματα τῆς δικαιοσύνης σου 8 τὰ δικαιώματά σου φυλάξω μή με ἐγκαταλίπῃς ἕως σφόδρα

1 Ah, blessed they, who pass through life’s journey unstained, who follow the law of the Lord! 2 Ah, blessed they, who cherish his decrees, make him the whole quest of their hearts! 3 Afar from wrong-doing, thy sure paths they tread. 4 Above all else it binds us, the charge thou hast given us to keep. 5 Ah, how shall my steps be surely guided to keep faith with thy covenant? 6 Attentive to all thy commandments, I go my way undismayed. 7 A true heart’s worship thou shalt have, thy just awards prompting me. 8 All shall be done thy laws demand, so thou wilt not forsake me utterly.

1 Aleph. Beati immaculati in via,
qui ambulant in lege Domini. 2
Beati qui scrutantur testimonia ejus;
in toto corde exquirunt eum. 3
Non enim qui operantur iniquitatem
in viis ejus ambulaverunt. 4
Tu mandasti mandata tua
custodiri nimis. 5
Utinam dirigantur viæ meæ
ad custodiendas justificationes tuas. 6
Tunc non confundar,
cum perspexero in omnibus mandatis tuis. 7
Confitebor tibi in directione cordis,
in eo quod didici judicia justitiæ tuæ. 8
Justificationes tuas custodiam;
non me derelinquas usquequaque.

9 {B#} βηθ ἐν τίνι κατορθώσει ὁ νεώτερος τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ φυλάσσεσθαι τοὺς λόγους σου 10 ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου ἐξεζήτησά σε μὴ ἀπώσῃ με ἀπὸ τῶν ἐντολῶν σου 11 ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ μου ἔκρυψα τὰ λόγιά σου ὅπως ἂν μὴ ἁμάρτω σοι 12 εὐλογητὸς εἶ κύριε δίδαξόν με τὰ δικαιώματά σου 13 ἐν τοῖς χείλεσίν μου ἐξήγγειλα πάντα τὰ κρίματα τοῦ στόματός σου 14 ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τῶν μαρτυρίων σου ἐτέρφθην ὡς ἐπὶ παντὶ πλούτῳ 15 ἐν ταῖς ἐντολαῖς σου ἀδολεσχήσω καὶ κατανοήσω τὰς ὁδούς σου 16 ἐν τοῖς δικαιώμασίν σου μελετήσω οὐκ ἐπιλήσομαι τῶν λόγων σου

9 Best shall he keep his youth unstained, who is true to thy trust. 10 Be thou the whole quest of my heart; never let me turn aside from thy commandments. 11 Buried deep in my heart, thy warnings shall keep me clear of sin. 12 Blessed art thou, O Lord, teach me to know thy will. 13 By these lips let the awards thou makest ever be recorded. 14 Blithely as one that has found great possessions, I follow thy decrees. 15 Bethinking me still of the charge thou givest, I will mark thy footsteps. 16 Be thy covenant ever my delight, thy words kept in memory.

9 Beth. In quo corrigit adolescentior viam suam?
in custodiendo sermones tuos. 10
In toto corde meo exquisivi te;
ne repellas me a mandatis tuis. 11
In corde meo abscondi eloquia tua,
ut non peccem tibi. 12
Benedictus es, Domine;
doce me justificationes tuas. 13
In labiis meis pronuntiavi omnia judicia oris tui. 14
In via testimoniorum tuorum delectatus sum,
sicut in omnibus divitiis. 15
In mandatis tuis exercebor,
et considerabo vias tuas. 16
In justificationibus tuis meditabor:
non obliviscar sermones tuos.

17 {G#} γιμαλ ἀνταπόδος τῷ δούλῳ σου ζήσομαι καὶ φυλάξω τοὺς λόγους σου 18 ἀποκάλυψον τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου καὶ κατανοήσω τὰ θαυμάσιά σου ἐκ τοῦ νόμου σου 19 πάροικος ἐγώ εἰμι ἐν τῇ γῇ μὴ ἀποκρύψῃς ἀ{P'} ἐμοῦ τὰς ἐντολάς σου 20 ἐπεπόθησεν ἡ ψυχή μου τοῦ ἐπιθυμῆσαι τὰ κρίματά σου ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ 21 ἐπετίμησας ὑπερηφάνοις ἐπικατάρατοι οἱ ἐκκλίνοντες ἀπὸ τῶν ἐντολῶν σου 22 περίελε ἀ{P'} ἐμοῦ ὄνειδος καὶ ἐξουδένωσιν ὅτι τὰ μαρτύριά σου ἐξεζήτησα 23 καὶ γὰρ ἐκάθισαν ἄρχοντες καὶ κα{T'} ἐμοῦ κατελάλουν ὁ δὲ δοῦλός σου ἠδολέσχει ἐν τοῖς δικαιώμασίν σου 24 καὶ γὰρ τὰ μαρτύριά σου μελέτη μού ἐστιν καὶ αἱ συμβουλίαι μου τὰ δικαιώματά σου

17 Crown thy servant with life, to live faithful to thy commands. 18 Clear sight be mine, to contemplate the wonders of thy law. 19 Comfort this earthly exile; do not refuse me the knowledge of thy will. 20 Crushed lies my spirit, longing ever for thy just awards. 21 Chastener of the proud, thy curse lies on all who swerve from thy covenant. 22 Clear me of the reproach that shames me, as I was ever attentive to thy claims. 23 Closeted together, princes plot against me, thy servant, that thinks only of thy decrees. 24 Claims lovingly cherished, decrees that are my counsellors!

17 Ghimel. Retribue servo tuo, vivifica me,
et custodiam sermones tuos. 18
Revela oculos meos,
et considerabo mirabilia de lege tua. 19
Incola ego sum in terra:
non abscondas a me mandata tua. 20
Concupivit anima mea
desiderare justificationes tuas in omni tempore. 21
Increpasti superbos;
maledicti qui declinant a mandatis tuis. 22
Aufer a me opprobrium et contemptum,
quia testimonia tua exquisivi. 23
Etenim sederunt principes, et adversum me loquebantur;
servus autem tuus exercebatur in justificationibus tuis. 24
Nam et testimonia tua meditatio mea est,
et consilium meum justificationes tuæ.

25 {D#} δελθ ἐκολλήθη τῷ ἐδάφει ἡ ψυχή μου ζῆσόν με κατὰ τὸν λόγον σου 26 τὰς ὁδούς μου ἐξήγγειλα καὶ ἐπήκουσάς μου δίδαξόν με τὰ δικαιώματά σου 27 ὁδὸν δικαιωμάτων σου συνέτισόν με καὶ ἀδολεσχήσω ἐν τοῖς θαυμασίοις σου 28 ἔσταξεν ἡ ψυχή μου ἀπὸ ἀκηδίας βεβαίωσόν με ἐν τοῖς λόγοις σου 29 ὁδὸν ἀδικίας ἀπόστησον ἀ{P'} ἐμοῦ καὶ τῷ νόμῳ σου ἐλέησόν με 30 ὁδὸν ἀληθείας ᾑρετισάμην τὰ κρίματά σου οὐκ ἐπελαθόμην 31 ἐκολλήθην τοῖς μαρτυρίοις σου κύριε μή με καταισχύνῃς 32 ὁδὸν ἐντολῶν σου ἔδραμον ὅταν ἐπλάτυνας τὴν καρδίαν μου

25 Deep lies my soul in the dust, restore life to me, as thou hast promised. 26 Deign, now, to shew me thy will, thou who hast listened when I opened my heart to thee. 27 Direct me in the path thou biddest me follow, and all my musing shall be of thy wonderful deeds. 28 Despair wrings tears from me; let thy promises raise me up once more. 29 Deliver me from every false thought; make me free of thy covenant. 30 Duty’s path my choice, I keep thy bidding ever in remembrance. 31 Disappoint me, Lord, never, one that holds fast by thy commandments. 32 Do but open my heart wide, and easy lies the path thou hast decreed.

25 Daleth. Adhæsit pavimento anima mea:
vivifica me secundum verbum tuum. 26
Vias meas enuntiavi, et exaudisti me;
doce me justificationes tuas. 27
Viam justificationum tuarum instrue me,
et exercebor in mirabilibus tuis. 28
Dormitavit anima mea præ tædio:
confirma me in verbis tuis. 29
Viam iniquitatis amove a me,
et de lege tua miserere mei. 30
Viam veritatis elegi;
judicia tua non sum oblitus. 31
Adhæsi testimoniis tuis, Domine;
noli me confundere. 32
Viam mandatorum tuorum cucurri,
cum dilatasti cor meum.

33 {E#} η νομοθέτησόν με κύριε τὴν ὁδὸν τῶν δικαιωμάτων σου καὶ ἐκζητήσω αὐτὴν διὰ παντός 34 συνέτισόν με καὶ ἐξερευνήσω τὸν νόμον σου καὶ φυλάξω αὐτὸν ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου 35 ὁδήγησόν με ἐν τρίβῳ τῶν ἐντολῶν σου ὅτι αὐτὴν ἠθέλησα 36 κλῖνον τὴν καρδίαν μου εἰς τὰ μαρτύριά σου καὶ μὴ εἰς πλεονεξίαν 37 ἀπόστρεψον τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου τοῦ μὴ ἰδεῖν ματαιότητα ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ σου ζῆσόν με 38 στῆσον τῷ δούλῳ σου τὸ λόγιόν σου εἰς τὸν φόβον σου 39 περίελε τὸν ὀνειδισμόν μου ὃν ὑπώπτευσα τὰ γὰρ κρίματά σου χρηστά 40 ἰδοὺ ἐπεθύμησα τὰς ἐντολάς σου ἐν τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ σου ζῆσόν με

33 Expound, Lord, thy whole bidding to me; faithfully I will keep it. 34 Enlighten me, to scan thy law closely, and keep true to it with all my heart. 35 Eagerly I long to be guided in the way of thy obedience. 36 Ever let my choice be set on thy will, not on covetous thoughts. 37 Eyes have I none for vain phantoms; let me find life in following thy ways. 38 Establish with me, thy servant, the promise made to thy worshippers. 39 Ease me of the reproach my heart dreads, thou, whose awards are gracious. 40 Each command of thine I embrace lovingly; do thou in thy faithfulness grant me life.

33 He. Legem pone mihi, Domine, viam justificationum tuarum,
et exquiram eam semper. 34
Da mihi intellectum, et scrutabor legem tuam,
et custodiam illam in toto corde meo. 35
Deduc me in semitam mandatorum tuorum,
quia ipsam volui. 36
Inclina cor meum in testimonia tua,
et non in avaritiam. 37
Averte oculos meos, ne videant vanitatem;
in via tua vivifica me. 38
Statue servo tuo eloquium tuum
in timore tuo. 39
Amputa opprobrium meum quod suspicatus sum,
quia judicia tua jucunda. 40
Ecce concupivi mandata tua:
in æquitate tua vivifica me.

41 {V#} ουαυ καὶ ἔλθοι ἐ{P'} ἐμὲ τὸ ἔλεός σου κύριε τὸ σωτήριόν σου κατὰ τὸ λόγιόν σου 42 καὶ ἀποκριθήσομαι τοῖς ὀνειδίζουσί με λόγον ὅτι ἤλπισα ἐπὶ τοὺς λόγους σου 43 καὶ μὴ περιέλῃς ἐκ τοῦ στόματός μου λόγον ἀληθείας ἕως σφόδρα ὅτι ἐπὶ τὰ κρίματά σου ἐπήλπισα 44 καὶ φυλάξω τὸν νόμον σου διὰ παντός εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος 45 καὶ ἐπορευόμην ἐν πλατυσμῷ ὅτι τὰς ἐντολάς σου ἐξεζήτησα 46 καὶ ἐλάλουν ἐν τοῖς μαρτυρίοις σου ἐναντίον βασιλέων καὶ οὐκ ᾐσχυνόμην 47 καὶ ἐμελέτων ἐν ταῖς ἐντολαῖς σου αἷς ἠγάπησα σφόδρα 48 καὶ ἦρα τὰς χεῖράς μου πρὸς τὰς ἐντολάς σου ἃς ἠγάπησα καὶ ἠδολέσχουν ἐν τοῖς δικαιώμασίν σου

41 For me too, Lord, thy mercy, for me too the deliverance thou hast promised! 42 Fit answer for those who taunt me, that I rely on thy truth. 43 Faithful thy promise, let me not boast in vain; in thy covenant lies my hope. 44 For ever and for evermore true to thy charge thou shalt find me. 45 Freely shall my feet tread, if thy will is all my quest. 46 Fearlessly will I talk of thy decrees in the presence of kings, and be never abashed. 47 Fain would I have all my comfort in the law I love. 48 Flung wide my arms to greet thy law, ever in my thoughts thy bidding.

41 Vau. Et veniat super me misericordia tua, Domine;
salutare tuum secundum eloquium tuum. 42
Et respondebo exprobrantibus mihi verbum,
quia speravi in sermonibus tuis. 43
Et ne auferas de ore meo verbum veritatis usquequaque,
quia in judiciis tuis supersperavi. 44
Et custodiam legem tuam semper,
in sæculum et in sæculum sæculi. 45
Et ambulabam in latitudine,
quia mandata tua exquisivi. 46
Et loquebar in testimoniis tuis in conspectu regum,
et non confundebar. 47
Et meditabar in mandatis tuis,
quæ dilexi. 48
Et levavi manus meas ad mandata tua, quæ dilexi,
et exercebar in justificationibus tuis.

49 {Z#} ζαι μνήσθητι τὸν λόγον σου τῷ δούλῳ σου ᾧ ἐπήλπισάς με 50 αὕτη με παρεκάλεσεν ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει μου ὅτι τὸ λόγιόν σου ἔζησέν με 51 ὑπερήφανοι παρηνόμουν ἕως σφόδρα ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ νόμου σου οὐκ ἐξέκλινα 52 ἐμνήσθην τῶν κριμάτων σου ἀ{P'} αἰῶνος κύριε καὶ παρεκλήθην 53 ἀθυμία κατέσχεν με ἀπὸ ἁμαρτωλῶν τῶν ἐγκαταλιμπανόντων τὸν νόμον σου 54 ψαλτὰ ἦσάν μοι τὰ δικαιώματά σου ἐν τόπῳ παροικίας μου 55 ἐμνήσθην ἐν νυκτὶ τοῦ ὀνόματός σου κύριε καὶ ἐφύλαξα τὸν νόμον σου 56 αὕτη ἐγενήθη μοι ὅτι τὰ δικαιώματά σου ἐξεζήτησα

49 Go not back on the word thou hast pledged to thy servant; there lies all my hope. 50 Good news in my affliction, thy promises have brought me life. 51 Ground down by the scorn of my oppressors, never from thy law I swerve aside. 52 Gracious comfort, Lord, is the memory of thy just dealings in times long past. 53 Great ruth have I to see wrong-doers, and how they abandon thy law. 54 Gone out into a land of exile, of thy covenant I make my song. 55 Gloom of the night finds me still thinking of thy name, Lord, still observant of thy bidding. 56 Guerdon I ask no other, but the following of thy will.

49 Zain. Memor esto verbi tui servo tuo,
in quo mihi spem dedisti. 50
Hæc me consolata est in humilitate mea,
quia eloquium tuum vivificavit me. 51
Superbi inique agebant usquequaque;
a lege autem tua non declinavi. 52
Memor fui judiciorum tuorum a sæculo, Domine,
et consolatus sum. 53
Defectio tenuit me,
pro peccatoribus derelinquentibus legem tuam. 54
Cantabiles mihi erant justificationes tuæ
in loco peregrinationis meæ. 55
Memor fui nocte nominis tui, Domine,
et custodivi legem tuam. 56
Hæc facta est mihi,
quia justificationes tuas exquisivi.

57 {H#} ηθ μερίς μου κύριε εἶπα φυλάξασθαι τὸν νόμον σου 58 ἐδεήθην τοῦ προσώπου σου ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου ἐλέησόν με κατὰ τὸ λόγιόν σου 59 διελογισάμην τὰς ὁδούς σου καὶ ἐπέστρεψα τοὺς πόδας μου εἰς τὰ μαρτύριά σου 60 ἡτοιμάσθην καὶ οὐκ ἐταράχθην τοῦ φυλάξασθαι τὰς ἐντολάς σου 61 σχοινία ἁμαρτωλῶν περιεπλάκησάν μοι καὶ τοῦ νόμου σου οὐκ ἐπελαθόμην 62 μεσονύκτιον ἐξηγειρόμην τοῦ ἐξομολογεῖσθαί σοι ἐπὶ τὰ κρίματα τῆς δικαιοσύνης σου 63 μέτοχος ἐγώ εἰμι πάντων τῶν φοβουμένων σε καὶ τῶν φυλασσόντων τὰς ἐντολάς σου 64 τοῦ ἐλέους σου κύριε πλήρης ἡ γῆ τὰ δικαιώματά σου δίδαξόν με

57 Heritage, Lord, I claim no other, but to obey thy word. 58 Heart-deep my supplication before thee for the mercies thou hast promised. 59 Have I not planned out my path, turned aside to follow thy decrees? 60 Haste such as mine can brook no delay in carrying out all thy bidding. 61 Hemmed in by the snares which sinners laid for me, never was I forgetful of thy law. 62 Hearken when I rise at dead of night to praise thee for thy just dealings. 63 How well I love the souls that fear thee, and are true to thy trust! 64 How thy mercy fills the earth, Lord! Teach me to do thy will.

57 Heth. Portio mea, Domine,
dixi custodire legem tuam. 58
Deprecatus sum faciem tuam in toto corde meo;
miserere mei secundum eloquium tuum. 59
Cogitavi vias meas,
et converti pedes meos in testimonia tua. 60
Paratus sum, et non sum turbatus,
ut custodiam mandata tua. 61
Funes peccatorum circumplexi sunt me,
et legem tuam non sum oblitus. 62
Media nocte surgebam ad confitendum tibi,
super judicia justificationis tuæ. 63
Particeps ego sum omnium timentium te,
et custodientium mandata tua. 64
Misericordia tua, Domine, plena est terra;
justificationes tuas doce me.

65 {Q#} τηθ χρηστότητα ἐποίησας μετὰ τοῦ δούλου σου κύριε κατὰ τὸν λόγον σου 66 χρηστότητα καὶ παιδείαν καὶ γνῶσιν δίδαξόν με ὅτι ταῖς ἐντολαῖς σου ἐπίστευσα 67 πρὸ τοῦ με ταπεινωθῆναι ἐγὼ ἐπλημμέλησα διὰ τοῦτο τὸ λόγιόν σου ἐφύλαξα 68 χρηστὸς εἶ σύ κύριε καὶ ἐν τῇ χρηστότητί σου δίδαξόν με τὰ δικαιώματά σου 69 ἐπληθύνθη ἐ{P'} ἐμὲ ἀδικία ὑπερηφάνων ἐγὼ δὲ ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου ἐξερευνήσω τὰς ἐντολάς σου 70 ἐτυρώθη ὡς γάλα ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν ἐγὼ δὲ τὸν νόμον σου ἐμελέτησα 71 ἀγαθόν μοι ὅτι ἐταπείνωσάς με ὅπως ἂν μάθω τὰ δικαιώματά σου 72 ἀγαθόν μοι ὁ νόμος τοῦ στόματός σου ὑπὲρ χιλιάδας χρυσίου καὶ ἀργυρίου

65 In fulfilment of thy promise, Lord, what kindness thou hast shewn thy servant! 66 Inspire, instruct me still; all my hope is in thy covenant. 67 Idly I strayed till thou didst chasten me; no more shall thy warnings go unheeded. 68 Indeed, indeed thou art gracious; teach me to do thy bidding. 69 In vain my oppressors plot against me; thy will is all my quest. 70 Inhuman hearts, curdled with scorn! For me, thy law is enough. 71 It was in mercy thou didst chasten me, schooling me to thy obedience. 72 Is not the law thou hast given dearer to me than rich store of gold and silver?

65 Teth. Bonitatem fecisti cum servo tuo, Domine,
secundum verbum tuum. 66
Bonitatem, et disciplinam, et scientiam doce me,
quia mandatis tuis credidi. 67
Priusquam humiliarer ego deliqui:
propterea eloquium tuum custodivi. 68
Bonus es tu, et in bonitate tua
doce me justificationes tuas. 69
Multiplicata est super me iniquitas superborum;
ego autem in toto corde meo scrutabor mandata tua. 70
Coagulatum est sicut lac cor eorum;
ego vero legem tuam meditatus sum. 71
Bonum mihi quia humiliasti me,
ut discam justificationes tuas. 72
Bonum mihi lex oris tui,
super millia auri et argenti.

73 Jealous for the handiwork thou hast made, teach me to understand thy commandments. 74 Joy shall be theirs, thy true worshippers, to see the confidence I have in thy word. 75 Just are thy awards; I know well, Lord, it was in faithfulness thou didst afflict me. 76 Judge me no more; pity and comfort thy servant as thou hast promised. 77 Judge me no more; pardon and life for one that loves thy will! 78 Just be their fall, who wrong me scornfully; thy law is all my study. 79 Joined to my company be every soul that worships thee and heeds thy warnings. 80 Jealously let my heart observe thy bidding; let me not hope in vain.

73 Jod. Manus tuæ fecerunt me, et plasmaverunt me:

Qui timent te videbunt me et lætabuntur,

Fiat misericordia tua ut consoletur me,
secundum eloquium tuum servo tuo. 77
Veniant mihi miserationes tuæ, et vivam,

Confundantur superbi, quia injuste iniquitatem fecerunt in me;

81 Keeping watch for thy aid, my soul languishes, yet I trust in thy word. 82 Keeping watch for the fulfilment of thy promise, my eyes languish for comfort still delayed. 83 Kitchen-smoke shrivels the wine-skin; so waste I, yet never forget thy will. 84 Knowest thou not how short are thy servant’s days? Soon be my wrongs redressed. 85 Knaves will be plotting against me still, that are no friends to thy law. 86 Knaves they are that wrong me; bring aid, as thy covenant stands unchanging. 87 Keep thy bidding I would, though small hope of life they had left me. 88 Kind as thou ever wert, preserve me; then utter thy bidding, and I will obey.

81 Caph. Defecit in salutare tuum anima mea,
et in verbum tuum supersperavi. 82
Defecerunt oculi mei in eloquium tuum,
dicentes: Quando consolaberis me? 83
Quia factus sum sicut uter in pruina;
justificationes tuas non sum oblitus. 84
Quot sunt dies servi tui?
quando facies de persequentibus me judicium? 85
Narraverunt mihi iniqui fabulationes,
sed non ut lex tua. 86
Omnia mandata tua veritas:
inique persecuti sunt me, adjuva me. 87

Secundum misericordiam tuam vivifica me,

89 Lord, the word thou hast spoken stands ever unchanged as heaven. 90 Loyal to his promise, age after age, is he who made the enduring earth. 91 Long as time lasts, these shall stand, obeying thy decree, Master of all. 92 Lest I should sink in my affliction, thou hast given thy covenant to be my comfort. 93 Life-giving are thy commands, never by me forgotten. 94 Lend me thy aid, for thine I am, and thy bidding is all my quest. 95 Let sinners go about to destroy me, I wait on thy will. 96 Look where I may, all good things must end; only thy law is wide beyond measure.

89 Lamed. In æternum, Domine,
verbum tuum permanet in cælo. 90
In generationem et generationem veritas tua;
fundasti terram, et permanet. 91
Ordinatione tua perseverat dies,
quoniam omnia serviunt tibi. 92
Nisi quod lex tua meditatio mea est,
tunc forte periissem in humilitate mea. 93
In æternum non obliviscar justificationes tuas,
quia in ipsis vivificasti me. 94
Tuus sum ego; salvum me fac:
quoniam justificationes tuas exquisivi. 95
Me exspectaverunt peccatores ut perderent me;
testimonia tua intellexi. 96
Omnis consummationis vidi finem,
latum mandatum tuum nimis.

97 ι{G#} μημ ὡς ἠγάπησα τὸν νόμον σου κύριε ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν μελέτη μού ἐστιν 98 ὑπὲρ τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου ἐσόφισάς με τὴν ἐντολήν σου ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνά μοί ἐστιν 99 ὑπὲρ πάντας τοὺς διδάσκοντάς με συνῆκα ὅτι τὰ μαρτύριά σου μελέτη μού ἐστιν 100 ὑπὲρ πρεσβυτέρους συνῆκα ὅτι τὰς ἐντολάς σου ἐξεζήτησα 101 ἐκ πάσης ὁδοῦ πονηρᾶς ἐκώλυσα τοὺς πόδας μου ὅπως ἂν φυλάξω τοὺς λόγους σου 102 ἀπὸ τῶν κριμάτων σου οὐκ ἐξέκλινα ὅτι σὺ ἐνομοθέτησάς μοι 103 ὡς γλυκέα τῷ λάρυγγί μου τὰ λόγιά σου ὑπὲρ μέλι καὶ κηρίον τῷ στόματί μου 104 ἀπὸ τῶν ἐντολῶν σου συνῆκα διὰ τοῦτο ἐμίσησα πᾶσαν ὁδὸν ἀδικίας ὅτι σὺ ἐνομοθέτησάς μοι

97 My delight, Lord, is in thy bidding; ever my thoughts return to it. 98 Musing still on thy commandments, I have grown more prudent than my enemies. 99 More wisdom have I than all my teachers, so well have I pondered thy decrees. 100 More learning have I than my elders, I that hold true to thy charge. 101 Mindful of thy warnings, I guide my steps clear of every evil path. 102 Meek under thy tuition, thy will I keep ever in view. 103 Meat most appetizing are thy promises; never was honey so sweet to my taste. 104 Made wise by thy law, I shun every path of evil-doing.

97 Mem. Quomodo dilexi legem tuam, Domine!
tota die meditatio mea est. 98
Super inimicos meos prudentem me fecisti mandato tuo,
quia in æternum mihi est. 99
Super omnes docentes me intellexi,
quia testimonia tua meditatio mea est. 100
Super senes intellexi,
quia mandata tua quæsivi. 101
Ab omni via mala prohibui pedes meos,
ut custodiam verba tua. 102
A judiciis tuis non declinavi,
quia tu legem posuisti mihi. 103
Quam dulcia faucibus meis eloquia tua!
super mel ori meo. 104
A mandatis tuis intellexi;
propterea odivi omnem viam iniquitatis.

105 ι{D#} νουν λύχνος τοῖς ποσίν μου ὁ λόγος σου καὶ φῶς ταῖς τρίβοις μου 106 ὀμώμοκα καὶ ἔστησα τοῦ φυλάξασθαι τὰ κρίματα τῆς δικαιοσύνης σου 107 ἐταπεινώθην ἕως σφόδρα κύριε ζῆσόν με κατὰ τὸν λόγον σου 108 τὰ ἑκούσια τοῦ στόματός μου εὐδόκησον δή κύριε καὶ τὰ κρίματά σου δίδαξόν με 109 ἡ ψυχή μου ἐν ταῖς χερσίν μου διὰ παντός καὶ τοῦ νόμου σου οὐκ ἐπελαθόμην 110 ἔθεντο ἁμαρτωλοὶ παγίδα μοι καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐντολῶν σου οὐκ ἐπλανήθην 111 ἐκληρονόμησα τὰ μαρτύριά σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ὅτι ἀγαλλίαμα τῆς καρδίας μού εἰσιν 112 ἔκλινα τὴν καρδίαν μου τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὰ δικαιώματά σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα δ{I'} ἀντάμειψιν

105 No lamp like thy word to guide my feet, to shew light on my path. 106 Never will I retract my oath to give thy just commands observance. 107 Nothing, Lord, but affliction, never the saving help thou didst promise me? 108 Nay, Lord, accept these vows of mine; teach me to do thy bidding. 109 Needs must I carry my life in my hands, yet am I ever mindful of thy law. 110 Nearly the snares of the wicked caught my feet, yet would I not swerve from thy obedience. 111 Now and ever thy covenant is my prize, is my heart’s comfort. 112 Now and ever to do thy will perfectly is my heart’s aim.

105 Nun. Lucerna pedibus meis verbum tuum,
et lumen semitis meis. 106
Juravi et statui
custodire judicia justitiæ tuæ. 107
Humiliatus sum usquequaque, Domine;
vivifica me secundum verbum tuum. 108
Voluntaria oris mei beneplacita fac, Domine,
et judicia tua doce me. 109
Anima mea in manibus meis semper,
et legem tuam non sum oblitus. 110
Posuerunt peccatores laqueum mihi,
et de mandatis tuis non erravi. 111
Hæreditate acquisivi testimonia tua in æternum,
quia exsultatio cordis mei sunt. 112
Inclinavi cor meum ad faciendas justificationes tuas in æternum,
propter retributionem.

113 ι{E#} σαμχ παρανόμους ἐμίσησα καὶ τὸν νόμον σου ἠγάπησα 114 βοηθός μου καὶ ἀντιλήμπτωρ μου εἶ σύ εἰς τὸν λόγον σου ἐπήλπισα 115 ἐκκλίνατε ἀ{P'} ἐμοῦ πονηρευόμενοι καὶ ἐξερευνήσω τὰς ἐντολὰς τοῦ θεοῦ μου 116 ἀντιλαβοῦ μου κατὰ τὸ λόγιόν σου καὶ ζήσομαι καὶ μὴ καταισχύνῃς με ἀπὸ τῆς προσδοκίας μου 117 βοήθησόν μοι καὶ σωθήσομαι καὶ μελετήσω ἐν τοῖς δικαιώμασίν σου διὰ παντός 118 ἐξουδένωσας πάντας τοὺς ἀποστατοῦντας ἀπὸ τῶν δικαιωμάτων σου ὅτι ἄδικον τὸ ἐνθύμημα αὐτῶν 119 παραβαίνοντας ἐλογισάμην πάντας τοὺς ἁμαρτωλοὺς τῆς γῆς διὰ τοῦτο ἠγάπησα τὰ μαρτύριά σου διὰ παντός 120 καθήλωσον ἐκ τοῦ φόβου σου τὰς σάρκας μου ἀπὸ γὰρ τῶν κριμάτων σου ἐφοβήθην

113 Out upon the men that play traitor to the law I love! 114 Other defence, other shield have I none; in thy law I trust. 115 Out of my path, lovers of wrong; I will keep my God’s commandments. 116 Only let thy promised aid preserve me; do not disappoint me of the hope I cherish. 117 Only do thou sustain me in safety, looking ever to thy will. 118 Obey thee who will not, shall earn thy disdain; idle is all their scheming. 119 Outcasts they are that profane the land with wrong; for me, thy law is enough. 120 Overcome is my whole being with the fear of thee; I am adread of thy judgements.

113 Samech. Iniquos odio habui,
et legem tuam dilexi. 114
Adjutor et susceptor meus es tu,
et in verbum tuum supersperavi. 115
Declinate a me, maligni,
et scrutabor mandata Dei mei. 116
Suscipe me secundum eloquium tuum, et vivam,
et non confundas me ab exspectatione mea. 117
Adjuva me, et salvus ero,
et meditabor in justificationibus tuis semper. 118
Sprevisti omnes discedentes a judiciis tuis,
quia injusta cogitatio eorum. 119
Prævaricantes reputavi omnes peccatores terræ;
ideo dilexi testimonia tua. 120
Confige timore tuo carnes meas;
a judiciis enim tuis timui.

121 ι{V#} αιν ἐποίησα κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην μὴ παραδῷς με τοῖς ἀδικοῦσίν με 122 ἔκδεξαι τὸν δοῦλόν σου εἰς ἀγαθόν μὴ συκοφαντησάτωσάν με ὑπερήφανοι 123 οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου ἐξέλιπον εἰς τὸ σωτήριόν σου καὶ εἰς τὸ λόγιον τῆς δικαιοσύνης σου 124 ποίησον μετὰ τοῦ δούλου σου κατὰ τὸ ἔλεός σου καὶ τὰ δικαιώματά σου δίδαξόν με 125 δοῦλός σού εἰμι ἐγώ συνέτισόν με καὶ γνώσομαι τὰ μαρτύριά σου 126 καιρὸς τοῦ ποιῆσαι τῷ κυρίῳ διεσκέδασαν τὸν νόμον σου 127 διὰ τοῦτο ἠγάπησα τὰς ἐντολάς σου ὑπὲρ χρυσίον καὶ τοπάζιον 128 διὰ τοῦτο πρὸς πάσας τὰς ἐντολάς σου κατωρθούμην πᾶσαν ὁδὸν ἄδικον ἐμίσησα

121 Protect the justice of my cause; never leave me at the mercy of my oppressors. 122 Pledge thyself still to befriend me; save me from the oppression of my enemies. 123 Pining away, I look for thy saving help, the faithful keeping of thy promises. 124 Pity thy own servant, and teach him thy decrees. 125 Perfect in thy own servant’s heart the knowledge of thy will. 126 Put off the hour, Lord, no more; too long thy commandment stands defied. 127 Precious beyond gold or jewel I hold thy law. 128 Prized be every decree of thine; forsworn be every path of evil-doing.

121 Ain. Feci judicium et justitiam:
non tradas me calumniantibus me. 122
Suscipe servum tuum in bonum:
non calumnientur me superbi. 123
Oculi mei defecerunt in salutare tuum,
et in eloquium justitiæ tuæ. 124
Fac cum servo tuo secundum misericordiam tuam,
et justificationes tuas doce me. 125
Servus tuus sum ego: da mihi intellectum,
ut sciam testimonia tua. 126
Tempus faciendi, Domine:
dissipaverunt legem tuam. 127
Ideo dilexi mandata tua
super aurum et topazion. 128
Propterea ad omnia mandata tua dirigebar;
omnem viam iniquam odio habui.

129 ι{Z#} φη θαυμαστὰ τὰ μαρτύριά σου διὰ τοῦτο ἐξηρεύνησεν αὐτὰ ἡ ψυχή μου 130 ἡ δήλωσις τῶν λόγων σου φωτιεῖ καὶ συνετιεῖ νηπίους 131 τὸ στόμα μου ἤνοιξα καὶ εἵλκυσα πνεῦμα ὅτι τὰς ἐντολάς σου ἐπεπόθουν 132 ἐπίβλεψον ἐ{P'} ἐμὲ καὶ ἐλέησόν με κατὰ τὸ κρίμα τῶν ἀγαπώντων τὸ ὄνομά σου 133 τὰ διαβήματά μου κατεύθυνον κατὰ τὸ λόγιόν σου καὶ μὴ κατακυριευσάτω μου πᾶσα ἀνομία 134 λύτρωσαί με ἀπὸ συκοφαντίας ἀνθρώπων καὶ φυλάξω τὰς ἐντολάς σου 135 τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπίφανον ἐπὶ τὸν δοῦλόν σου καὶ δίδαξόν με τὰ δικαιώματά σου 136 διεξόδους ὑδάτων κατέβησαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου ἐπεὶ οὐκ ἐφύλαξαν τὸν νόμον σου

129 Right wonderful thy decrees are, hard to read, and well my heart heeds them. 130 Revelation and light thy words disclose to the simple. 131 Rises ever a sigh from my lips as I long after thy covenant. 132 Regard and pity me, as thou hast pity for all that love thy name. 133 Rule thou my path as thou hast promised; never be wrong-doing my master. 134 Rescue me from man’s oppression, to wait henceforth on thy bidding. 135 Restore to thy servant the smile of thy living favour, and teach him to know thy will. 136 Rivers of tears flow from my eyes, to see thy law forgotten.

129 Phe. Mirabilia testimonia tua:
ideo scrutata est ea anima mea. 130
Declaratio sermonum tuorum illuminat,
et intellectum dat parvulis. 131
Os meum aperui, et attraxi spiritum:
quia mandata tua desiderabam. 132
Aspice in me, et miserere mei,
secundum judicium diligentium nomen tuum. 133
Gressus meos dirige secundum eloquium tuum,
et non dominetur mei omnis injustitia. 134
Redime me a calumniis hominum
ut custodiam mandata tua. 135
Faciem tuam illumina super servum tuum,
et doce me justificationes tuas. 136
Exitus aquarum deduxerunt oculi mei,
quia non custodierunt legem tuam.

137 ι{H#} σαδη δίκαιος εἶ κύριε καὶ εὐθὴς ἡ κρίσις σου 138 ἐνετείλω δικαιοσύνην τὰ μαρτύριά σου καὶ ἀλήθειαν σφόδρα 139 ἐξέτηξέν με ὁ ζῆλος τοῦ οἴκου σου ὅτι ἐπελάθοντο τῶν λόγων σου οἱ ἐχθροί μου 140 πεπυρωμένον τὸ λόγιόν σου σφόδρα καὶ ὁ δοῦλός σου ἠγάπησεν αὐτό 141 νεώτερός εἰμι ἐγὼ καὶ ἐξουδενωμένος τὰ δικαιώματά σου οὐκ ἐπελαθόμην 142 ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου δικαιοσύνη εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ ὁ νόμος σου ἀλήθεια 143 θλῖψις καὶ ἀνάγκη εὕροσάν με αἱ ἐντολαί σου μελέτη μου 144 δικαιοσύνη τὰ μαρτύριά σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα συνέτισόν με καὶ ζήσομαι

137 So just, Lord, thou art, thy awards so truly given! 138 Strict justice and utter faithfulness inspire all thy decrees. 139 Stung by love’s jealousy, I watch my enemies defy thy bidding. 140 Shall not I, thy servant, love thy promises, tested and found true? 141 Still despised and disinherited, I do not forget thy charge. 142 Stands thy faithfulness eternally, thy law for ever changeless. 143 Sorrow and distress have fallen on me; in thy commandments is all my comfort. 144 Sentence eternal is thy decree; teach me the wisdom that brings life.

137 Sade. Justus es, Domine,
et rectum judicium tuum. 138
Mandasti justitiam testimonia tua,
et veritatem tuam nimis. 139
Tabescere me fecit zelus meus,
quia obliti sunt verba tua inimici mei. 140
Ignitum eloquium tuum vehementer,
et servus tuus dilexit illud. 141
Adolescentulus sum ego et contemptus;
justificationes tuas non sum oblitus. 142
Justitia tua, justitia in æternum,
et lex tua veritas. 143
Tribulatio et angustia invenerunt me;
mandata tua meditatio mea est. 144
Æquitas testimonia tua in æternum:
intellectum da mihi, et vivam.

145 ι{Q#} κωφ ἐκέκραξα ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου ἐπάκουσόν μου κύριε τὰ δικαιώματά σου ἐκζητήσω 146 ἐκέκραξά σε σῶσόν με καὶ φυλάξω τὰ μαρτύριά σου 147 προέφθασα ἐν ἀωρίᾳ καὶ ἐκέκραξα εἰς τοὺς λόγους σου ἐπήλπισα 148 προέφθασαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου πρὸς ὄρθρον τοῦ μελετᾶν τὰ λόγιά σου 149 τῆς φωνῆς μου ἄκουσον κύριε κατὰ τὸ ἔλεός σου κατὰ τὸ κρίμα σου ζῆσόν με 150 προσήγγισαν οἱ καταδιώκοντές με ἀνομίᾳ ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ νόμου σου ἐμακρύνθησαν 151 ἐγγὺς εἶ σύ κύριε καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ ἐντολαί σου ἀλήθεια 152 κα{T'} ἀρχὰς ἔγνων ἐκ τῶν μαρτυρίων σου ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἐθεμελίωσας αὐτά

145 Thy audience, Lord, my whole heart claims, a heart true to thy trust. 146 To thee I cry, O grant deliverance; I will do all thy bidding. 147 Twilight comes, and I awake to plead with thee, hoping ever in thy promises. 148 Through the night my eyes keep watch, to ponder thy sayings. 149 Thine, Lord, to listen in thy mercy, and grant life according to thy will. 150 Treacherous foes draw near, that are strangers to thy covenant. 151 Thou, Lord, art close at hand; all thy awards are true. 152 Taught long since by thy decrees, I know well thou hast ordained them everlastingly.

145 Coph. Clamavi in toto corde meo: exaudi me, Domine;
justificationes tuas requiram. 146
Clamavi ad te; salvum me fac:
ut custodiam mandata tua. 147
Præveni in maturitate, et clamavi:
quia in verba tua supersperavi. 148
Prævenerunt oculi mei ad te diluculo,
ut meditarer eloquia tua. 149
Vocem meam audi secundum misericordiam tuam, Domine,
et secundum judicium tuum vivifica me. 150
Appropinquaverunt persequentes me iniquitati:
a lege autem tua longe facti sunt. 151
Prope es tu, Domine,
et omnes viæ tuæ veritas. 152
Initio cognovi de testimoniis tuis,
quia in æternum fundasti ea.

153 {K#} ρης ἰδὲ τὴν ταπείνωσίν μου καὶ ἐξελοῦ με ὅτι τὸν νόμον σου οὐκ ἐπελαθόμην 154 κρῖνον τὴν κρίσιν μου καὶ λύτρωσαί με διὰ τὸν λόγον σου ζῆσόν με 155 μακρὰν ἀπὸ ἁμαρτωλῶν σωτηρία ὅτι τὰ δικαιώματά σου οὐκ ἐξεζήτησαν 156 οἱ οἰκτιρμοί σου πολλοί κύριε κατὰ τὸ κρίμα σου ζῆσόν με 157 πολλοὶ οἱ ἐκδιώκοντές με καὶ ἐκθλίβοντές με ἐκ τῶν μαρτυρίων σου οὐκ ἐξέκλινα 158 εἶδον ἀσυνθετοῦντας καὶ ἐξετηκόμην ὅτι τὰ λόγιά σου οὐκ ἐφυλάξαντο 159 ἰδὲ ὅτι τὰς ἐντολάς σου ἠγάπησα κύριε ἐν τῷ ἐλέει σου ζῆσόν με 160 ἀρχὴ τῶν λόγων σου ἀλήθεια καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα πάντα τὰ κρίματα τῆς δικαιοσύνης σου

153 Unblessed is my lot; look down and rescue me, that still am mindful of thy law. 154 Uphold my cause, and deliver me; true to thy promise, grant me life. 155 Unknown thy mercy to the sinner that defies thy bidding. 156 Unnumbered, Lord, are thy blessings; as thy will is, grant me life. 157 Under all the assaults of my oppressors, I keep true to thy charge. 158 Unhappy I, that watch thy warnings to the sinner go unheeded! 159 Up, Lord, and witness the love I bear thy covenant; in thy mercy bid me live! 160 Unchanging truth is thy word’s fountain-head, eternal the force of thy just decrees.

153 Res. Vide humilitatem meam, et eripe me,
quia legem tuam non sum oblitus. 154
Judica judicium meum, et redime me:

Longe a peccatoribus salus,
quia justificationes tuas non exquisierunt. 156
Misericordiæ tuæ multæ, Domine;
secundum judicium tuum vivifica me. 157
Multi qui persequuntur me, et tribulant me;
a testimoniis tuis non declinavi. 158
Vidi prævaricantes et tabescebam,
quia eloquia tua non custodierunt. 159
Vide quoniam mandata tua dilexi, Domine:
in misericordia tua vivifica me. 160
Principium verborum tuorum veritas;

161 Vexed by the causeless malice of princes, my heart still dreads thy warnings. 162 Victors rejoice not more over rich spoils, than I in thy promises. 163 Villainy I abhor and renounce; thy law is all my love. 164 Votive thanks seven times a day I give thee for the just awards thou makest. 165 Very great peace is theirs who love thy law; their feet never stumble. 166 Valiantly, Lord, I wait on thee for succour, keeping ever true to thy charge. 167 Vanquished by great love, my heart is ever obedient to thy will. 168 Vigilantly I observe precept and bidding of thine, living always as in thy sight.

161 Sin. Principes persecuti sunt me gratis,
et a verbis tuis formidavit cor meum. 162
Lætabor ego super eloquia tua,
sicut qui invenit spolia multa. 163
Iniquitatem odio habui, et abominatus sum,
legem autem tuam dilexi. 164
Septies in die laudem dixi tibi,
super judicia justitiæ tuæ. 165
Pax multa diligentibus legem tuam,
et non est illis scandalum. 166
Exspectabam salutare tuum, Domine,
et mandata tua dilexi. 167
Custodivit anima mea testimonia tua,
et dilexit ea vehementer. 168
Servavi mandata tua et testimonia tua,
quia omnes viæ meæ in conspectu tuo.

169 κ{B#} θαυ ἐγγισάτω ἡ δέησίς μου ἐνώπιόν σου κύριε κατὰ τὸ λόγιόν σου συνέτισόν με 170 εἰσέλθοι τὸ ἀξίωμά μου ἐνώπιόν σου κατὰ τὸ λόγιόν σου ῥῦσαί με 171 ἐξερεύξαιντο τὰ χείλη μου ὕμνον ὅταν διδάξῃς με τὰ δικαιώματά σου 172 φθέγξαιτο ἡ γλῶσσά μου τὸ λόγιόν σου ὅτι πᾶσαι αἱ ἐντολαί σου δικαιοσύνη 173 γενέσθω ἡ χείρ σου τοῦ σῶσαί με ὅτι τὰς ἐντολάς σου ᾑρετισάμην 174 ἐπεπόθησα τὸ σωτήριόν σου κύριε καὶ ὁ νόμος σου μελέτη μού ἐστιν 175 ζήσεται ἡ ψυχή μου καὶ αἰνέσει σε καὶ τὰ κρίματά σου βοηθήσει μοι 176 ἐπλανήθην ὡς πρόβατον ἀπολωλός ζήτησον τὸν δοῦλόν σου ὅτι τὰς ἐντολάς σου οὐκ ἐπελαθόμην

169 Wilt thou not admit my cry, Lord, to thy presence, and grant me thy promised gift of wisdom? 170 Wilt thou not countenance my plea, redeem thy pledge to deliver me? 171 What praise shall burst from my lips, when thou makest known thy will! 172 What hymns of thankfulness this tongue shall raise to the author of all just decrees! 173 Wouldst thou but lift thy hand to aid me, that take my stand on thy covenant! 174 Weary it is, Lord, waiting for deliverance, but thy law is my comfort. 175 When will thy just award grant redress, that I may live to praise thee? 176 Wayward thou seest me, like a lost sheep; come to look for thy servant, that is mindful still of thy bidding.

169 Tau. Appropinquet deprecatio mea in conspectu tuo, Domine;
juxta eloquium tuum da mihi intellectum. 170
Intret postulatio mea in conspectu tuo;
secundum eloquium tuum eripe me. 171
Eructabunt labia mea hymnum,
cum docueris me justificationes tuas. 172
Pronuntiabit lingua mea eloquium tuum,
quia omnia mandata tua æquitas. 173
Fiat manus tua ut salvet me,
quoniam mandata tua elegi. 174
Concupivi salutare tuum, Domine,
et lex tua meditatio mea est. 175
Vivet anima mea, et laudabit te,
et judicia tua adjuvabunt me. 176
Erravi sicut ovis quæ periit: quære servum tuum,
quia mandata tua non sum oblitus.
