Psalm 119. I, II, III, IV.

I. Beati immaculati.

1. Happy are they whose way is blameless, *
   who walk in the law of the Lord!
2. Who never do any wrong, *
   but always walk in his ways.
3. You laid down your commandments, *
   that we should fully keep them.
4. Oh, that my ways were made so direct *
   that I might keep your statutes!
5. Then I should not be put to shame, *
   when I regard all your commandments.
6. I will thank you with an unfeigned heart, *
   when I have learned your righteous judgments.
7. I will keep your statutes; *
   do not utterly forsake me.

II. Beth In quo corrigit?

9. How shall a young man cleanse his way? *
   By keeping to your words.
10. With my whole heart I seek you; *
    let me not stray from your commandments.
11. I treasure your promise in my heart, *
    that I may not sin against you.
12. Blessed are you, O Lord; *
    instruct me in your statutes.
13. With my lips will I recite *
    all the judgments of your mouth.
14. I have taken greater delight in the way of your decrees *
    than in all manner of riches.
15. I will meditate on your commandments *
    and give attention to your ways.
16. My delight is in your statutes; *
    I will not forget your word.

III. Gimel Retribue servo tuo

17. Deal bountifully with your servant, *
    that I may live and keep your word.
18. Open my eyes, that I may see *
    the wonders of your law.
19. I am a stranger here on earth; *
    do not hide your commandments from me.
20. My soul is consumed at all times *
    with longing for your judgments.
21. You have rebuked the insolent; *
    cursed are they who stray from your commandments!
22. Turn from me shame and rebuke, *
    for I have kept your decrees.
23. Even though rulers sit and plot against me, *
    I will meditate on your statutes.
24. For your decrees are my delight, *
    and they are my counselors.

IV. Daleth Adhaesit pavimento

25. My soul cleaves to the dust; *
    give me life according to your word.
26. I have confessed my ways, and you answered me; *
    instruct me in your statutes.
27. Make me understand the way of your commandments, *
    that I may meditate on your marvelous works.
28. My soul melts away for sorrow; *
    strengthen me according to your word.
29. Take from me the way of lying; *
    let me find grace through your law.
30. I have chosen the way of faithfulness; *
    I have set your judgments before me.
31. I hold fast to your decrees; *
    O Lord, let me not be put to shame.
32. I will run the way of your commandments, *
    or you have set my heart at liberty.
