Hallelujah 118
Blessed are the blameless ones who walk in the law of the Lord. Blessed are those who experience His witness; they will seek Him with all their hearts. For those who do not do iniquity walk in His ways. Thou hast commanded that Thy commandments should be preserved, so that my ways may be corrected, that Thy justifications may be preserved. Then I will not be ashamed to always look upon all Your commandments. Let us confess to You in the righteousness of our hearts, ever to teach us the destinies of Your righteousness. I will preserve Your excuses; don't leave me to the end. How will the youngest one correct his path? Always keep Your words. With all my heart I seek You; do not turn me away from Your commandments. I hide Your words in my heart, lest I sin against You. Blessed art thou, O Lord, teach me by thy justification. My mouth proclaimed all the destinies of Your mouth. On the path of Thy testimonies we have enjoyed ourselves, as in all riches. I will mock Your commandments, and understand Your ways. I will learn from Your justifications; I will not forget Your words. Reward Your servant: live me, and I will keep Your words. Open my eyes, and I will understand the wonders of Your law. I am a stranger on earth, do not hide Your commandments from me.
My soul love to desire Your destiny at all times. 3Thou hast rebuked the proud; Curses those who turn away from Your commandments. Take away from me diarrhea and humiliation, as I have sought Your testimonies. For the princes are gray and slander me, and Thy servant mocks Thy justifications; for Your testimonies are my teaching, and my counsels are Your justifications. Cling to the earth, my soul, live according to Your word. Thou hast declared my ways, and thou hast heard me; teach me by Your justification. Let me understand the path of Your justifications, and I will mock at Your wonders. My soul slumbers from despondency; confirm me in Your words. Leave the path of unrighteousness from me and have mercy on me with Your law. I have chosen the path of truth and have not forgotten Your destiny. I cleave to Thy testimony, O Lord, do not disgrace me. The path of Your commandments flowed when You enlarged my heart. Lay down for me, O Lord, the way of Your justifications, and I will seek and take away. Give me understanding, and I will try Your law, and I will keep it with all my heart. Guide me on the path of Your commandments, as I have desired. Incline my heart to Thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
Turn away my eyes from seeing vanity; live me in Your way. Make Thy servant Thy word to fear. Take away my reproach, O nepshchevah, for Thy fate is good. Behold, I have desired Thy commandments: live me in Thy righteousness. And let Thy mercy, O Lord, come upon me, Thy salvation according to Thy word, and I will answer those who reproach my word, because I have trusted in Thy words. And do not take away from my lips the words that are truly true, for I have trusted in Your fate; And I will keep Your law forever and ever. And I walked in breadth, because I sought Your commandments; and the verbs of Your testimonies before the kings and not being ashamed; and have learned in Thy commandments, which I have loved dearly; and I lifted up my hands to Thy commandments, which I loved, and mocked Thy justifications. Remember Thy words to Thy servant, whose hope Thou hast given me. So console me in my humility, for Your word lives on me. Pride has transgressed the law to the extreme, but we have not deviated from Your law. I have remembered Your destiny from eternity, O Lord, and have been comforted. I have received sorrow from sinners who forsake Thy law. Peta beat me to Your justifications at the place of my coming.
I will remember Your name in the night, O Lord, and keep Your law. This will come to me, as I seek justification for Your demands. Thou art my part, O Lord: I have decided to preserve Thy law. I prayed to Your face with all my heart: have mercy on me according to Your word. I have thought about Your ways and returned my nose to Your witness. I was prepared and did not hesitate to keep Your commandments. The sinner has already committed himself to me, and has not forgotten Your law. At midnight I rose to confess to You about the destinies of Your righteousness. I am a partaker of all who fear You and keep Your commandments. Fill the earth with Your mercy, O Lord; Teach me by Thy justification. Thou hast done kindness to Thy servant, O Lord, according to Thy word; Teach me goodness and punishment and reason, as I have believed in Your commandments. Before I even humble myself, I have sinned, for this reason I have preserved Your word. Thou art good, O Lord, and by Thy goodness teach me by Thy justification. The iniquity of the proud has multiplied against me, but with all my heart I will test Your commandments. Their hearts are as wet as milk; I have learned Your law. It is good for me, for Thou hast humbled me, that I may learn by Thy justification.
The law of Your mouth is good to me more than a thousand gold and silver.
Slava:
Thy hands create me and create me; Give me understanding, and I will learn Your commandments. Those who fear You will see me and rejoice, because they trust in Your words. I understood, Lord, that Thy destiny is true, and Thou hast truly humbled me. Be Thy mercy, that Thy servant may comfort me according to Thy word; May Thy compassions come to me, and I will live, for Thy law is my teaching. Let pride be ashamed, for it is your unjust iniquity against me; I will scoff at Your commandments. Let those who fear You and those who know Your testimonies convert me. May my heart be blameless in Your justifications, so that I will not be ashamed. My soul disappears for Thy salvation, trusting in Thy words; My eyes have disappeared into Your word, saying: When will You comfort me? If we were not like fur on the face, we would not forget Your justifications. How many days are there of Your servant? When will you bring judgment on me from those who persecute me? The lawbreakers have told me mockery, but not like Thy law, O Lord. All Your commandments are truth; Having persecuted me unrighteously, help me. I have not yet died on earth, and I have not forsaken Your commandments. Live for me according to Thy mercy, and I will preserve the testimonies of Thy mouth.
For ever, O Lord, Your word remains in heaven. Thy truth forever and ever. You founded the earth and it remains. The day endures through Your teaching, for all kinds of work are done by You. As if it were not for Thy law that my teaching had been, then I would have perished in my humility; I will never forget Your justifications, for You have revived me in them.
[Wednesday:]
I am Thine, save me, for I seek the justification of Thy demands. I was waiting for a sinner to destroy me; I understood Your meetings. I have seen the end of every death; Your commandment is wide. Since I have loved Your law, O Lord, I have my teaching all day long. Thou hast made me wiser than my enemy through Thy commandment, even as I am forever. More than all those who taught me, I understood that Your testimonies are my teaching. Moreover, the elder understood that I have sought Your commandments. I have forbidden my feet from every evil way, that I may keep Thy words; I have not deviated from Your judgments, as You have laid down laws for me. How sweet is Your word to my throat: more than honey to my mouth. I understood from Your commandments, and for this reason I hated every way of unrighteousness. The lamp of my feet is Your law and the light of my paths. I swore and vowed to preserve the fate of Your righteousness. Humble yourself to death; Lord, live me according to Your word. Grant me the freedom of my lips, O Lord, and teach me Your destinies. I will take my soul into Your hand, and I will not forget Your law. The sinners have laid a net for me, and from Your commandments they will not go astray.
I have inherited Thy testimonies forever, for they are the joy of my heart; incline my heart to create Your justifications forever for reward. I have hated the lawbreakers, but I have loved Your law. Thou art my helper and my intercessor: I trust in Thy words. Depart from me, you wicked ones, and I will test the commandments of my God. Walk me according to Your word, and I will live, and do not disgrace me because of my hope; Help me, and I will be saved, and I will learn from Your justifications. Thou hast brought to naught all those who depart from Thy justifications, for their thoughts are unrighteous. You who transgress against all the sinners of the earth, for this reason I have loved Your witness. Nail my flesh with Thy fear, for I am afraid of Thy judgments. I have created justice and justice: do not betray me to those who offend me. Consider Thy servant for good, so that pride does not slander me. My eyes disappear into Thy salvation and into the word of Thy righteousness; deal with Thy servant according to Thy mercy, and teach me Thy justification. I am Thy servant: give me understanding, and I will hear Thy testimony. It is time for the Lord to do: I have destroyed Your law. For this reason I have loved Your commandments more than gold and topaz.
For this reason, I was guided by all Your commandments, and I hated every path of unrighteousness. Wonderful is Thy testimony, for this purpose I am tested, my soul. The manifestation of Your words enlightens and instructs little ones. My mouth was opened and the Spirit was drawn, because I desired Your commandments.
