Blessed are the blameless ones on the way, walking in the law of the Lord. The blessed ones who experience His testimonies will seek Him with all their hearts, doing no iniquity, walking in His ways. Thou hast commanded to keep Thy commandments strictly. So that my ways may be corrected, Thy justifications may be preserved. Then I will not be ashamed; I will always look upon all Your commandments. Let us confess to You in the righteousness of our hearts, always to teach us the destinies of Your righteousness. I will preserve Your excuses, do not leave me until the end. How will the youngest one correct his path? Always keep Your words. I seek You with all my heart, do not turn me away from Your commandments. I have hidden Your words in my heart, lest I sin against You. Blessed are You, Lord: teach me by Your justification. With my lips I declare all the destinies of Your mouth. On the path of Your testimonies I have enjoyed, like all riches. I will mock Your commandments, and I will understand Your ways. I will learn from Your righteousness; I will not forget Your words.
Reward Your servant: I will live, 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. Love my soul to desire Your destiny at all times. Thou hast rebuked the proud: curse them that turn aside from Thy commandments. Take away from me diarrhea and humiliation, as evidence of Your demands. For the princes are hoary, and I am slandered, and Your servant mocks Your justifications: For Your testimonies are my teaching, and my counsels are Your justifications. My soul cleaves to the earth: live according to Your word. Thou hast declared my ways, and Thou hast heard me: teach me Thy justification: Let me understand the way of Thy justifications, and I will mock at Thy wonders. My soul slumbers from despondency: strengthen me in Your words. Leave the path of unrighteousness from me, and have mercy on me by Your law. I have chosen the path of truth, and I have not forgotten Your destiny. I have clung to Your testimony, O Lord, do not put me to shame. The path of Your commandments flowed when You expanded my heart.
Set 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 desire. Incline my heart to Thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. Turn away my eyes, so as not to see vanity, let me live in Your way. Place Your word in Thy fear. Take away my reproach, even though it is not pschevah: for Thy fate is good. Behold, I have desired Your commandments; live in Your righteousness. And let Thy mercy come upon me, O Lord, Thy salvation according to Thy word. And I answer those who reproach my word: for I have trusted in Your words. And do not take away from my lips the words that are truly true, for I have placed my trust in Your fate. And I will keep Your law forever and ever. And I walked in breadth, because I sought Your commandments. And I spoke of Your testimonies before the kings, and was not ashamed: And I learned in Your commandments, which I have loved dearly: And I lifted up my hands to Your commandments, which I have loved, and mocked at Your justifications.
Remember Your words to Your servant, in whose hope You gave me. Comfort me in my humility, for Your word lives on me. I am proud of the lawbreaker; I have not deviated from Your law. I will remember Your destinies from time immemorial, O Lord, and those who are comforted. I receive sorrow from sinners who forsake Your law. Thy vindication was blown to me, 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 a justification for Your demands. Thou art my part, O Lord, determined to preserve Thy law. I prayed to Your face with all my heart: have mercy on me according to Your word. I have thought of Thy ways, and returned my nose to Thy testimonies. I have prepared and am not embarrassed to keep Your commandments. The sinner has already obligated himself to me, and has not forgotten Your law. At midnight I rose to confess to You about the destinies of Your righteousness.
