ALEPH. Happy are they whose way is perfect, who walk in the law of the Lord.

Happy are they who keep his testimonies, that seek him with all their heart.

Oh that my ways were firmly directed to observe thy statutes!
| حِينَئِذٍ لَا أَخْزَى إِذَا نَظَرْتُ إِلَى كُلِّ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٦ 6 |
Then would I not be made ashamed, while I look at all thy commandments.

Thy statutes will I observe: oh forsake me not too greatly.

BETH. Wherewithal shall a youth keep his way pure? by guarding it according to thy word.

A stranger am I on the earth: hide not from me thy commandments.
| ٱنْسَحَقَتْ نَفْسِي شَوْقًا إِلَى أَحْكَامِكَ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ. | ٢٠ 20 |
My soul is broken from longing for thy ordinances at all times.

Roll away from me reproach and contempt; for thy testimonies have I kept.

Although even princes should sit and speak against me, thy servant would still meditate on thy statutes.
| أَيْضًا شَهَادَاتُكَ هِيَ لَذَّتِي، أَهْلُ مَشُورَتِي. | ٢٤ 24 |
Also thy testimonies are my delight, my counsellors.

Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to desire for gain.

VAV. And let thy kindness come unto me, O Lord, thy salvation, according to thy promise.
| فَأُجَاوِبَ مُعَيِّرِي كَلِمَةً، لِأَنِّي ٱتَّكَلْتُ عَلَى كَلَامِكَ. | ٤٢ 42 |
Then shall I have a word to answer the one that reproacheth me; for I trust in thy word.
| وَلَا تَنْزِعْ مِنْ فَمِي كَلَامَ ٱلْحَقِّ كُلَّ ٱلنَّزْعِ، لِأَنِّي ٱنْتَظَرْتُ أَحْكَامَكَ. | ٤٣ 43 |

And so will I lift up my hands unto thy commandments, which I love, and I will meditate on thy statutes.
| اُذْكُرْ لِعَبْدِكَ ٱلْقَوْلَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلْتَنِي أَنْتَظِرُهُ. | ٤٩ 49 |
ZAYIN. Remember thy word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to wait.
| هَذِهِ هِيَ تَعْزِيَتِي فِي مَذَلَّتِي، لِأَنَّ قَوْلَكَ أَحْيَانِي. | ٥٠ 50 |
This is my comfort in my affliction, that thy promise hath revived me.
| ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ ٱسْتَهْزَأُوا بِي إِلَى ٱلْغَايَةِ. عَنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ لَمْ أَمِلْ. | ٥١ 51 |
The presumptuous have held me too greatly in derision: yet have I not departed away from thy law.
| تَذَكَّرْتُ أَحْكَامَكَ مُنْذُ ٱلدَّهْرِ يَارَبُّ، فَتَعَزَّيْتُ. | ٥٢ 52 |
I remembered thy decrees [which were] from olden times, O Lord, and thus comforted myself.
| ٱلْحَمِيَّةُ أَخَذَتْنِي بِسَبَبِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ تَارِكِي شَرِيعَتِكَ. | ٥٣ 53 |
Horror seized on me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
| تَرْنِيمَاتٍ صَارَتْ لِي فَرَائِضُكَ فِي بَيْتِ غُرْبَتِي. | ٥٤ 54 |
Songs have thy statutes been unto me in the house of my pilgrimage.
| ذَكَرْتُ فِي ٱللَّيْلِ ٱسْمَكَ يَارَبُّ، وَحَفِظْتُ شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ٥٥ 55 |
I remembered in the night thy name, O Lord, and observed thy law.
| هَذَا صَارَ لِي، لِأَنِّي حَفِظْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٥٦ 56 |
This came to pass unto me, because I had kept thy precepts.
| نَصِيبِي ٱلرَّبُّ، قُلْتُ لِحِفْظِ كَلَامِكَ. | ٥٧ 57 |
CHETH. My portion is the Lord, have I said, that I might observe thy words.
| تَرَضَّيْتُ وَجْهَكَ بِكُلِّ قَلْبِي. ٱرْحَمْنِي حَسَبَ قَوْلِكَ. | ٥٨ 58 |
I make entreaty before thee with all my heart: be gracious unto me according to thy promise.
| تَفَكَّرْتُ فِي طُرُقِي، وَرَدَدْتُ قَدَمَيَّ إِلَى شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ٥٩ 59 |
I have thought over my ways, and made my feet return unto thy testimonies.
| أَسْرَعْتُ وَلَمْ أَتَوَانَ لِحِفْظِ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٠ 60 |
I hastened, and delayed not to observe thy commandments.
| حِبَالُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ ٱلْتَفَّتْ عَلَيَّ. أَمَّا شَرِيعَتُكَ فَلَمْ أَنْسَهَا. | ٦١ 61 |
Companies of wicked men have surrounded me; but I have not forgotten thy law.
| فِي مُنْتَصَفِ ٱللَّيْلِ أَقُومُ لِأَحْمَدَكَ عَلَى أَحْكَامِ بِرِّكَ. | ٦٢ 62 |
At midnights do I constantly rise to give thanks unto thee, because of thy righteous decrees.
| رَفِيقٌ أَنَا لِكُلِّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَكَ وَلِحَافِظِي وَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٣ 63 |
An associate am I unto all that fear thee, and unto those that keep thy precepts.
| رَحْمَتُكَ يَارَبُّ قَدْ مَلَأَتِ ٱلْأَرْضَ. عَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٦٤ 64 |
Of thy kindness, O Lord, is the earth full: teach me thy statutes.
| خَيْرًا صَنَعْتَ مَعَ عَبْدِكَ يَارَبُّ حَسَبَ كَلَامِكَ. | ٦٥ 65 |
TETH. Thou hast shown goodness on thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word.
| ذَوْقًا صَالِحًا وَمَعْرِفَةً عَلِّمْنِي، لِأَنِّي بِوَصَايَاكَ آمَنْتُ. | ٦٦ 66 |
The best of discernment and knowledge do thou teach me; for in thy commandments do I believe.
| قَبْلَ أَنْ أُذَلَّلَ أَنَا ضَلَلْتُ، أَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَحَفِظْتُ قَوْلَكَ. | ٦٧ 67 |
Before I was afflicted I was in error; but now I observe thy saying.
| صَالِحٌ أَنْتَ وَمُحْسِنٌ. عَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٦٨ 68 |
Thou art good, and doing good: teach me thy statutes.
| ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ قَدْ لَفَّقُوا عَلَيَّ كَذِبًا، أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِكُلِّ قَلْبِي أَحْفَظُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٩ 69 |
The presumptuous have invented falsehoods against me; but I will with all my heart indeed keep thy precepts.
| سَمِنَ مِثْلَ ٱلشَّحْمِ قَلْبُهُمْ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِشَرِيعَتِكَ أَتَلَذَّذُ. | ٧٠ 70 |
Gross as fat is their heart; but I take truly delight in thy law.
| خَيْرٌ لِي أَنِّي تَذَلَّلْتُ لِكَيْ أَتَعَلَّمَ فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٧١ 71 |
It is well for me that I have been afflicted, in order that I might learn thy statutes.
| شَرِيعَةُ فَمِكَ خَيْرٌ لِي مِنْ أُلُوفِ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ. | ٧٢ 72 |
Better is unto me the law of thy mouth than thousands of gold and silver.
| يَدَاكَ صَنَعَتَانِي وَأَنْشَأَتَانِي. فَهِّمْنِي فَأَتَعَلَّمَ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٧٣ 73 |
YOD. Thy hands have made me and established me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
| مُتَّقُوكَ يَرَوْنَنِي فَيَفْرَحُونَ، لِأَنِّي ٱنْتَظَرْتُ كَلَامَكَ. | ٧٤ 74 |
Those that fear thee will see me and be rejoiced; because I have waited for thy word.
| قَدْ عَلِمْتُ يَارَبُّ أَنَّ أَحْكَامَكَ عَدْلٌ، وَبِٱلْحَقِّ أَذْلَلْتَنِي. | ٧٥ 75 |
I know, O Lord, that thy decrees are righteous, and that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.
| فَلْتَصِرْ رَحْمَتُكَ لِتَعْزِيَتِي، حَسَبَ قَوْلِكَ لِعَبْدِكَ. | ٧٦ 76 |
Let, I pray thee, thy kindness come to comfort me, according to thy promise unto thy servant.
| لِتَأْتِنِي مَرَاحِمُكَ فَأَحْيَا، لِأَنَّ شَرِيعَتَكَ هِيَ لَذَّتِي. | ٧٧ 77 |
Let thy mercies come unto me, that I may live; for thy law is my delight.
| لِيَخْزَ ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ لِأَنَّهُمْ زُورًا ٱفْتَرَوْا عَلَيَّ. أَمَّا أَنَا فَأُنَاجِي بِوَصَايَاكَ. | ٧٨ 78 |
Let the presumptuous be made ashamed; because they have without a cause dealt perversely with me; but I will indeed meditate on thy precepts.
| لِيَرْجِعْ إِلَيَّ مُتَّقُوكَ وَعَارِفُو شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ٧٩ 79 |
Let those that fear thee return unto me, and those that know thy testimonies.
| لِيَكُنْ قَلْبِي كَامِلًا فِي فَرَائِضِكَ لِكَيْلَا أَخْزَى. | ٨٠ 80 |
Let my heart be entire in thy statutes, in order that I may not be put to shame.
| تَاقَتْ نَفْسِي إِلَى خَلَاصِكَ. كَلَامَكَ ٱنْتَظَرْتُ. | ٨١ 81 |
CAPH. My soul ardently desireth for thy salvation: for thy word do I wait.
| كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ مِنَ ٱلنَّظَرِ إِلَى قَوْلِكَ، فَأَقُولُ: «مَتَى تُعَزِّينِي؟». | ٨٢ 82 |
My eyes look eagerly for thy promise, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
| لِأَنِّي قَدْ صِرْتُ كَزِقٍّ فِي ٱلدُّخَانِ، أَمَّا فَرَائِضُكَ فَلَمْ أَنْسَهَا. | ٨٣ 83 |
For I am become like a bottle in the smoke: [yet] do I not forget thy statutes.
| كَمْ هِيَ أَيَّامُ عَبْدِكَ؟ مَتَى تُجْرِي حُكْمًا عَلَى مُضْطَهِدِيَّ؟ | ٨٤ 84 |
How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute justice on my persecutors?
| ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ قَدْ كَرَوْا لِي حَفَائِرَ. ذَلِكَ لَيْسَ حَسَبَ شَرِيعَتِكَ. | ٨٥ 85 |
The presumptuous have dug pits for me, which is not in accordance with thy law.
| كُلُّ وَصَايَاكَ أَمَانَةٌ. زُورًا يَضْطَهِدُونَنِي. أَعِنِّي. | ٨٦ 86 |
All thy commandments are founded on truth: without cause they persecute me; help thou me.
| لَوْلَا قَلِيلٌ لَأَفْنَوْنِي مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَمْ أَتْرُكْ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٨٧ 87 |
But little was wanting that they had consumed me upon earth; but I have truly not forsaken thy precepts.
| حَسَبَ رَحْمَتِكَ أَحْيِنِي، فَأَحْفَظَ شَهَادَاتِ فَمِكَ. | ٨٨ 88 |
According to thy kindness give me life, that I may observe the testimony of thy mouth.
| إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ يَارَبُّ كَلِمَتُكَ مُثَبَّتَةٌ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. | ٨٩ 89 |
LAMED. To eternity, O Lord, standeth firm thy word with the heavens.
| إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ أَمَانَتُكَ. أَسَّسْتَ ٱلْأَرْضَ فَثَبَتَتْ. | ٩٠ 90 |
Unto all generations endureth thy faithfulness: thou hast established the earth, and she standeth.
| عَلَى أَحْكَامِكَ ثَبَتَتِ ٱلْيَوْمَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْكُلَّ عَبِيدُكَ. | ٩١ 91 |
According to thy ordinances they exist this day: for all are thy servants.
| لَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ شَرِيعَتُكَ لَذَّتِي، لَهَلَكْتُ حِينَئِذٍ فِي مَذَلَّتِي. | ٩٢ 92 |
Unless thy law had been my delights, I should long since have been lost in my affliction.
| إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ لَا أَنْسَى وَصَايَاكَ، لِأَنَّكَ بِهَا أَحْيَيْتَنِي. | ٩٣ 93 |
Never will I forget thy precepts; for with them thou hast kept me alive.
| لَكَ أَنَا فَخَلِّصْنِي، لِأَنِّي طَلَبْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٩٤ 94 |
Thine am I, save me; for thy precepts have I sought.
| إِيَّايَ ٱنْتَظَرَ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ لِيُهْلِكُونِي. بِشَهَادَاتِكَ أَفْطُنُ. | ٩٥ 95 |
Wicked men have waited for me to destroy me; [but] I will reflect on thy testimonies.
| لِكُلِّ كَمَالٍ رَأَيْتُ حَدًّا، أَمَّا وَصِيَّتُكَ فَوَاسِعَةٌ جِدًّا. | ٩٦ 96 |
Of all perfection have I seen the end; [but] thy commandment is exceedingly extended.
| كَمْ أَحْبَبْتُ شَرِيعَتَكَ! ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ هِيَ لَهَجِي. | ٩٧ 97 |
MEM. Oh how do I love thy law! all the day is it my (meditation)
| وَصِيَّتُكَ جَعَلَتْنِي أَحْكَمَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، لِأَنَّهَا إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ هِيَ لِي. | ٩٨ 98 |
Wiser than my enemy doth thy commandment make me; for it is perpetually with me.
| أَكْثَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ مُعَلِّمِيَّ تَعَقَّلْتُ، لِأَنَّ شَهَادَاتِكَ هِيَ لَهَجِي. | ٩٩ 99 |
Above all my teachers have I obtained intelligence; for thy testimonies are my (meditation)
| أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ فَطِنْتُ، لِأَنِّي حَفِظْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٠٠ 100 |
More than the elders do I possess understanding; because thy precepts do I keep.
| مِنْ كُلِّ طَرِيقِ شَرٍّ مَنَعْتُ رِجْلَيَّ، لِكَيْ أَحْفَظَ كَلَامَكَ. | ١٠١ 101 |
From every evil path have I withholden my feet, in order that I might observe thy word.
| عَنْ أَحْكَامِكَ لَمْ أَمِلْ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَلَّمْتَنِي. | ١٠٢ 102 |
From thy ordinances have I not departed; for thou hast instructed me.
| مَا أَحْلَى قَوْلَكَ لِحَنَكِي! أَحْلَى مِنَ ٱلْعَسَلِ لِفَمِي. | ١٠٣ 103 |
How much sweeter are to my palate thy sayings than honey to my mouth!
| مِنْ وَصَايَاكَ أَتَفَطَّنُ، لِذَلِكَ أَبْغَضْتُ كُلَّ طَرِيقِ كَذِبٍ. | ١٠٤ 104 |
Through thy precepts shall I obtain understanding: therefore do I hate every path of falsehood.
| سِرَاجٌ لِرِجْلِي كَلَامُكَ وَنُورٌ لِسَبِيلِي. | ١٠٥ 105 |
NUN. A lamp unto my feet is thy word, and a light unto my path.
| حَلَفْتُ فَأَبِرُّهُ، أَنْ أَحْفَظَ أَحْكَامَ بِرِّكَ. | ١٠٦ 106 |
I have sworn, and I will perform it, to observe thy righteous ordinances.
| تَذَلَّلْتُ إِلَى ٱلْغَايَةِ. يَارَبُّ، أَحْيِنِي حَسَبَ كَلَامِكَ. | ١٠٧ 107 |
I am afflicted exceedingly much: O Lord, revive me, according to thy word.
| ٱرْتَضِ بِمَنْدُوبَاتِ فَمِي يَارَبُّ، وَأَحْكَامَكَ عَلِّمْنِي. | ١٠٨ 108 |
Receive in favor the freewill-offerings of my mouth, I beseech thee, O Lord, and teach me thy ordinances.
| نَفْسِي دَائِمًا فِي كَفِّي، أَمَّا شَرِيعَتُكَ فَلَمْ أَنْسَهَا. | ١٠٩ 109 |
My life is in my hand continually: yet thy law do I not forget.
| ٱلْأَشْرَارُ وَضَعُوا لِي فَخًّا، أَمَّا وَصَايَاكَ فَلَمْ أَضِلَّ عَنْهَا. | ١١٠ 110 |
The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet have I not erred from thy precepts.
| وَرِثْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ، لِأَنَّهَا هِيَ بَهْجَةُ قَلْبِي. | ١١١ 111 |
I have taken thy testimonies as a heritage to eternity; for they are the joy of my heart.
| عَطَفْتُ قَلْبِي لِأَصْنَعَ فَرَائِضَكَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ إِلَى ٱلنِّهَايَةِ. | ١١٢ 112 |
I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes always, in all their ways.
| ٱلْمُتَقَلِّبِينَ أَبْغَضْتُ، وَشَرِيعَتَكَ أَحْبَبْتُ. | ١١٣ 113 |
SAMECH. Those of divided thoughts I hate; but thy law do I love.
| سِتْرِي وَمِجَنِّي أَنْتَ. كَلَامَكَ ٱنْتَظَرْتُ. | ١١٤ 114 |
My shelter and my shield art thou: for thy word do I wait.
| ٱنْصَرِفُوا عَنِّي أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَشْرَارُ، فَأَحْفَظَ وَصَايَا إِلَهِي. | ١١٥ 115 |
Depart from me, ye evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of God.
| ٱعْضُدْنِي حَسَبَ قَوْلِكَ فَأَحْيَا، وَلَا تُخْزِنِي مِنْ رَجَائِي. | ١١٦ 116 |
Uphold me according to thy promise, that I may live, and let me not be made ashamed of my hope.
| أَسْنِدْنِي فَأَخْلُصَ، وَأُرَاعِيَ فَرَائِضَكَ دَائِمًا. | ١١٧ 117 |
Support me that I may be placed in safety, and I will direct my regard unto thy statutes continually.
| ٱحْتَقَرْتَ كُلَّ ٱلضَّالِّينَ عَنْ فَرَائِضِكَ، لِأَنَّ مَكْرَهُمْ بَاطِلٌ. | ١١٨ 118 |
Thou hast trodden down all that erringly stray from thy statutes; for falsehood is their deceit.
| كَزَغَلٍ عَزَلْتَ كُلَّ أَشْرَارِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِذَلِكَ أَحْبَبْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١١٩ 119 |
Like dross dost thou put away all the wicked of the earth: therefore do I love thy testimonies.
| قَدِ ٱقْشَعَرَّ لَحْمِي مِنْ رُعْبِكَ، وَمِنْ أَحْكَامِكَ جَزِعْتُ. | ١٢٠ 120 |
My flesh trembleth shudderingly from dread of thee, and of thy decrees am I afraid.
| أَجْرَيْتُ حُكْمًا وَعَدْلًا. لَا تُسْلِمْنِي إِلَى ظَالِمِيَّ. | ١٢١ 121 |
'AYIN. I have executed justice and righteousness: leave me not to those who oppress me.
| كُنْ ضَامِنَ عَبْدِكَ لِلْخَيْرِ، لِكَيْلَا يَظْلِمَنِي ٱلْمُسْتَكْبِرُونَ. | ١٢٢ 122 |
Protect thy servant for good: let not the presumptuous oppress me.
| كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ ٱشْتِيَاقًا إِلَى خَلَاصِكَ وَإِلَى كَلِمَةِ بِرِّكَ. | ١٢٣ 123 |
My eyes look eagerly for thy salvation, and for thy righteous promise.

Deal with thy servant according to thy kindness, and thy statutes do thou teach me.

I am thy servant: give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.
| إِنَّهُ وَقْتُ عَمَلٍ لِلرَّبِّ. قَدْ نَقَضُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٢٦ 126 |
It is time to act for the Lord: they have broken thy law.
| لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَحْبَبْتُ وَصَايَاكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْإِبْرِيزِ. | ١٢٧ 127 |
Therefore do I love thy commandments more than gold, and more than fine gold.
| لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ حَسِبْتُ كُلَّ وَصَايَاكَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُسْتَقِيمَةً. كُلَّ طَرِيقِ كَذِبٍ أَبْغَضْتُ. | ١٢٨ 128 |
Therefore do I esteem all thy precepts in all things as right: every path of falsehood do I hate.
| عَجِيبَةٌ هِيَ شَهَادَاتُكَ، لِذَلِكَ حَفِظَتْهَا نَفْسِي. | ١٢٩ 129 |
PE. Wonderful are thy testimonies: therefore doth my soul keep them.
| فَتْحُ كَلَامِكَ يُنِيرُ، يُعَقِّلُ ٱلْجُهَّالَ. | ١٣٠ 130 |
The opening of thy words giveth light, it giveth understanding unto the simple.
| فَغَرْتُ فَمِي وَلَهَثْتُ، لِأَنِّي إِلَى وَصَايَاكَ ٱشْتَقْتُ. | ١٣١ 131 |
I opened my mouth, and panted for breath; because for thy commandments did I long.

Turn thou unto me, and be gracious unto me, as is thy wont unto those that love thy name.

My steps establish thou through thy promise, and suffer not any wrong to have dominion over me.

Deliver me from the oppression of man, and I will observe thy precepts.

Let thy face shine upon thy servant, and teach me thy statutes.
| جَدَاوِلُ مِيَاهٍ جَرَتْ مِنْ عَيْنَيَّ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَحْفَظُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٣٦ 136 |
Streams of water have run down my eyes; because they had not observed thy law.
| بَارٌّ أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ، وَأَحْكَامُكَ مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ. | ١٣٧ 137 |
TZADDE. Righteous art thou, O Lord, and upright are thy decrees.

Thou hast commanded thy testimonies, as righteous and faithful exceedingly.
| أَهْلَكَتْنِي غَيْرَتِي، لِأَنَّ أَعْدَائِي نَسُوا كَلَامَكَ. | ١٣٩ 139 |
My zeal destroyeth me; because my assailants have forgotten thy words.
| كَلِمَتُكَ مُمَحَّصَةٌ جِدًّا، وَعَبْدُكَ أَحَبَّهَا. | ١٤٠ 140 |
Thy promise is greatly refined, and thy servant loveth it.

I am little and despised: yet thy precepts have I not forgotten.

Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.

Distress and trouble have overtaken me: [yet] are thy commandments my delights.

My eyes are awake before the night-watches, that I may meditate in thy saying.
| صَوْتِيَ ٱسْتَمِعْ حَسَبَ رَحْمَتِكَ. يَارَبُّ، حَسَبَ أَحْكَامِكَ أَحْيِنِي. | ١٤٩ 149 |
Hear my voice according to thy kindness: O Lord, according to thy decree do thou grant me life.
| ٱقْتَرَبَ ٱلتَّابِعُونَ ٱلرَّذِيلَةَ. عَنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ بَعُدُوا. | ١٥٠ 150 |
They that pursue mischievous devices draw nigh: from thy law are they far.

Near art thou, O Lord; and all thy commandments are the truth.
| مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ عَرَفْتُ مِنْ شَهَادَاتِكَ أَنَّكَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ أَسَّسْتَهَا. | ١٥٢ 152 |
Of old already I knew of thy testimonies; because for eternity hast thou founded them.

| ٱلْخَلَاصُ بَعِيدٌ عَنِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَلْتَمِسُوا فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٥٥ 155 |
Far from the wicked is salvation; because thy statutes have they not sought for.

Thy mercies are abundant, O Lord; according to thy decrees do thou revive me.
| كَثِيرُونَ مُضْطَهِدِيَّ وَمُضَايِقِيَّ، أَمَّا شَهَادَاتُكَ فَلَمْ أَمِلْ عَنْهَا. | ١٥٧ 157 |
Many are my persecutors and my assailants: yet from thy testimonies do I not turn away.
| رَأَيْتُ ٱلْغَادِرِينَ وَمَقَتُّ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَحْفَظُوا كَلِمَتَكَ. | ١٥٨ 158 |
I beheld the treacherous, and felt disgust; because they observed not thy saying.

The summit of thy word is truth: and the whole of thy righteous judgment endureth for ever.
| رُؤَسَاءُ ٱضْطَهَدُونِي بِلَا سَبَبٍ، وَمِنْ كَلَامِكَ جَزِعَ قَلْبِي. | ١٦١ 161 |
SHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause; but of thy word standeth my heart in dread.

I am rejoiced over thy promise, as one that findeth great spoil.
| أَبْغَضْتُ ٱلْكَذِبَ وَكَرِهْتُهُ، أَمَّا شَرِيعَتُكَ فَأَحْبَبْتُهَا. | ١٦٣ 163 |
Falsehood I hate and abhor: but thy law do I love.

I have hoped for thy salvation, O Lord, and thy commandments have I fulfilled.

TAV. Let my entreaty come near before thee, O Lord: according to thy word grant me understanding.

Let my supplication come before thee: according to thy promise do thou deliver me.

My lips shall utter praise; because thou wilt teach me thy statutes.
| يُغَنِّي لِسَانِي بِأَقْوَالِكَ، لِأَنَّ كُلَّ وَصَايَاكَ عَدْلٌ. | ١٧٢ 172 |
My tongue shall speak loudly of thy promise; for all thy commandments are righteous.

Let thy hand be [ready] to help me; for thy precepts have I chosen.
| ٱشْتَقْتُ إِلَى خَلَاصِكَ يَارَبُّ، وَشَرِيعَتُكَ هِيَ لَذَّتِي. | ١٧٤ 174 |
I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord; and thy law is my delights.
| لِتَحْيَ نَفْسِي وَتُسَبِّحَكَ، وَأَحْكَامُكَ لِتُعِنِّي. | ١٧٥ 175 |
Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee: and let thy decrees help me.
| ضَلَلْتُ، كَشَاةٍ ضَالَّةٍ. ٱطْلُبْ عَبْدَكَ، لِأَنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٧٦ 176 |
I have gone erringly astray like a lost sheep: seek thy servant; for thy commandments have I not forgotten.
