Psalm 119: 137-144 Tzadik – צ

Trouble and anguish, found me
Yet Your commands, are my delight
Everlasting, Your righteous testimonies
Bring understanding, and revive.

Your testimonies are wonderful
Therefore, my soul keeps them
The opening of Your Word
Giving light to all, amen!

Therefore, I esteem
All Your precepts, I praise
And consider as right
While I hate, all false ways.

My flesh trembles, fears You
And am afraid of Your judgments
I stand in awe, of Your laws
Your justice, Your regulations.

Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path
I have sworn and confirmed
To keep Your judgments, escape wrath.

O how I love Your law
My meditation, all the day
Through Your commandments
I’m made wiser, in every way.

Forever, O LORD
Your Word, is settled in heaven
Your faithfulness endures
To all generations, in succession.

Almost consuming, me on earth
But I forsook not, Your precepts
Sustain my life, and restore
By Your loving kindness, take steps.

Let my heart be blameless
Regarding Your statutes
That I may not be ashamed
Live a life with sound roots.

You’ve dealt well, with Your servant
LORD, in accord with Your Word
Teach me good judgment
And knowledge, conferred.
