AIN I Have done judgment and justice: Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, Deal with thy servant according, unto thy mercy, I am thy servant; give me understanding, It is time for thee, Lord, to work: things to be right; And I hate every false way. PE Thy testimonies are wonderful: Therefore doth my soul keep them. For I longed for thy commandments. Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, As thou usest to do unto those that love thy name. Order my steps in thy word: And let not any iniquity have dominion over me. Deliver me from the oppression of man: So will I keep thy precepts. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; And teach me thy statutes. Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, TZADDI Righteous art thou, O Lord, And upright are thy judgments. Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous And very faithful. My zeal hath consumed me, Because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. Thy word is very pure: Therefore thy servant loveth it. I am small and despised: Yet do not I forget thy precepts. Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And thy law is the truth. Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: Yet thy commandments are my delights. The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: Give me understanding, and I shall live. KOPH I Cried with my Hear me, O Lord: I will keep thy statutes. I cried unto thee; save me, And I shall keep thy testimonies. I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. Mine eyes prevent the night watches, That I might meditate in thy word. Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: Thou art near, O Lord; And all thy commandments are truth. Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old That thou hast founded them for ever. RESH Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: Plead my cause, and deliver me: Quicken me according to thy word. Salvation is far from the wicked: For they seek not thy statutes. Great are thy tender mercies, O Lord: Quicken me, O Lord, according to thy lovingkind ness. Thy word is true from the beginning: And every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. SCHIN Princes have persecuted me without a cause: As one that findeth great spoil. I hate and abhor lying: But thy law do I love. Seven times a day do I praise thee Because of thy righteous judgments. Great peace have they which love thy law: And nothing shall offend them. Lord, I have hoped for thy salvation, And done thy commandments. My soul hath kept thy testimonies; And I love them exceedingly. I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: TAU Let my cry come near before thee, O Lord: My lips shall utter praise, When thou hast taught me thy statutes. For all thy commandments are righteousness. For I have chosen thy precepts. I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord; Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; For I do not forget thy commandments. CXX A Song of degrees IN In my distress I cried unto the Lord, And he heard me. |
