God

Thy face cause to shine on Thy servant, And teach me Thy statutes.

Rivulets of waters have come down mine eyes, Because they have not kept Thy law!

Tzade. Righteous art Thou, O Jehovah, And upright are Thy judgments.

Thou hast appointed Thy testimonies, Righteous and exceeding faithful,

Cut me off hath my zeal, For mine adversaries forgot Thy words.

Tried is thy saying exceedingly, And Thy servant hath loved it.

Small I am , and despised, Thy precepts I have not forgotten.

Thy righteousness is righteousness to the age, And Thy law is truth.

Adversity and distress have found me, Thy commands are my delights.

The righteousness of Thy testimonies is to Cause me to understand, and I live!

Koph. I have called with the whole heart, Answer me, O Jehovah, Thy statutes I keep,

I have called Thee, save Thou me, And I do keep Thy testimonies.

I have gone forward in the dawn, and I cry, For Thy word I have hoped.

Mine eyes have gone before the watches, To meditate in Thy saying.

My voice hear, according to Thy kindness, Jehovah, according to Thy judgment quicken me.

Near have been my wicked pursuers, From Thy law they have been far off.

Near art Thou, O Jehovah, And all Thy commands are truth.

Of old I have known Thy testimonies, That to the age Thou hast founded them!

Resh. See my affliction, and deliver Thou me, For Thy law I have not forgotten.

Plead my plea, and redeem me, According to Thy saying quicken me.

Far from the wicked is salvation, For Thy statutes they have not sought.

Thy mercies are many, O Jehovah, According to Thy judgments quicken me.

Many are my pursuers, and adversaries, From Thy testimonies I have not turned aside.

I have seen treacherous ones, And grieve myself, Because Thy saying they have not kept.

See, for thy precepts I have loved, Jehovah, According to Thy kindness quicken me.
