1
ALEPH. Blessed [are] the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.
2
Blessed [are] they that keep his testimonies, [and that] seek him with the whole heart.
3
They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
4
Thou hast commanded [us] to keep thy precepts diligently.
5
O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
6
Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
7
I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
8
I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
9
BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed [thereto] according to thy word.
10
With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
11
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
12
Blessed [art] thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.
13
With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
14
I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as [much as] in all riches.
15
I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
16
I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
17
GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, [that] I may live, and keep thy word.
18
Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
19
I [am] a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
20
My soul breaketh for the longing [that it hath] unto thy judgments at all times.
21
Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed, which do err from thy commandments.
22
Remove from me reproach and contempt for I have kept thy testimonies.
23
Princes also did sit [and] speak against me: [but] thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.
24
Thy testimonies also [are] my delight [and] my counsellors.
25
DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.
26
I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.
27
Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
28
My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.
29
Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.
30
I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid [before me].
31
I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.
32
I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
33
HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes and I shall keep it [unto] the end.
34
Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law yea, I shall observe it with [my] whole heart.
35
Make me to go in the path of thy commandments for therein do I delight.
36
Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
37
Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity [and] quicken thou me in thy way.
38
Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who [is devoted] to thy fear.
39
Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments [are] good.
40
Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.
41
VAU. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, [even] thy salvation, according to thy word.
42
So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.
43
And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth for I have hoped in thy judgments.
44
So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.
45
And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
46
I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.
47
And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.
48
My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved and I will meditate in thy statutes.
49
ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
50
This [is] my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.
51
The proud have had me greatly in derision: [yet] have I not declined from thy law.
52
I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD and have comforted myself.
53
Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
54
Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
55
I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.
56
This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
57
CHETH. [Thou art] my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.
58
I intreated thy favour with [my] whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.
59
I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
60
I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.
61
The bands of the wicked have robbed me: [but] I have not forgotten thy law.
62
At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.
63
I [am] a companion of all [them] that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
64
The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
65
TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word.
66
Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
67
Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.
68
Thou [art] good, and doest good teach me thy statutes.
69
The proud have forged a lie against me: [but] I will keep thy precepts with [my] whole heart.
70
Their heart is as fat as grease [but] I delight in thy law.
71
[It is] good for me that I have been afflicted that I might learn thy statutes.
72
The law of thy mouth [is] better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
73
JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
74
They that fear thee will be glad when they see me because I have hoped in thy word.
75
I know, O LORD, that thy judgments [are] right, and [that] thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
76
Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
77
Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law [is] my delight.
78
Let the proud be ashamed for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: [but] I will meditate in thy precepts.
79
Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.
80
Let my heart be sound in thy statutes that I be not ashamed.
81
CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: [but] I hope in thy word.
82
Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
83
For I am become like a bottle in the smoke [yet] do I not forget thy statutes.
84
How many [are] the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85
The proud have digged pits for me, which [are] not after thy law.
86
All thy commandments [are] faithful: they persecute me wrongfully help thou me.
87
They had almost consumed me upon earth but I forsook not thy precepts.
88
Quicken me after thy lovingkindness so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
89
LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
90
Thy faithfulness [is] unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
91
They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all [are] thy servants.
92
Unless thy law [had been] my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
93
I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.
94
I [am] thine, save me for I have sought thy precepts.
95
The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: [but] I will consider thy testimonies.
96
I have seen an end of all perfection: [but] thy commandment [is] exceeding broad.
97
MEM. O how love I thy law! it [is] my meditation all the day.
98
Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they [are] ever with me.
99
I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies [are] my meditation.
100
I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
101
I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
102
I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
103
How sweet are thy words unto my taste! [yea, sweeter] than honey to my mouth!
104
Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
105
NUN. Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
106
I have sworn, and I will perform [it], that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
107
I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.
108
Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.
109
My soul [is] continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.
110
The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.
111
Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they [are] the rejoicing of my heart.
112
I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, [even unto] the end.
Romans 11
1-24
1
I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, [of] the tribe of Benjamin.
2
God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
3
Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4
But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to [the image of] Baal.
5
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6
And if by grace, then [is it] no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if [it be] of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7
What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
8
(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear) unto this day.
9
And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
10
Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
11
I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but [rather] through their fall salvation [is come] unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
12
Now if the fall of them [be] the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles how much more their fulness?
13
For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
14
If by any means I may provoke to emulation [them which are] my flesh, and might save some of them.
15
For if the casting away of them [be] the reconciling of the world, what [shall] the receiving [of them be], but life from the dead?
16
For if the firstfruit [be] holy, the lump [is] also [holy]: and if the root [be] holy, so [are] the branches.
17
And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree
18
Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19
Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
20
Well because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21
For if God spared not the natural branches, [take heed] lest he also spare not thee.
22
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in [his] goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23
And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
24
For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural [branches], be graffed into their own olive tree?
