in awe of your words.
119:162 I rejoice at your word, as one who finds great spoil.
119:163 I hate and abhor falsehood. I love your law.
119:164 Seven times a day, I praise you, because of your
righteous ordinances.
119:165 Those who love your law have great peace. Nothing causes
them to stumble.
119:166 I have hoped for your salvation, Yahweh. I have
done your commandments.
119:167 My soul has observed your testimonies. I love them exceedingly.
119:168 I have obeyed your precepts and your testimonies, for all my
ways are before you.
119:169 Let my cry come before you, Yahweh. Give me understanding
according to your word.
119:170 Let my supplication come before you. Deliver me according
to your word.
119:171 Let my lips utter praise, for you teach me your statutes.
119:172 Let my tongue sing of your word, for all your commandments
are righteousness.
119:173 Let your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen your precepts.
119:174 I have longed for your salvation, Yahweh. Your law is my delight.
119:175 Let my soul live, that I may praise you. Let your
ordinances help me.
119:176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep. Seek your servant,
for I don't forget your commandments.
120:001 <<A Song of Ascents.>> In my distress, I cried to Yahweh.
He answered me.
120:002 Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
120:003 What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you,
you deceitful tongue?
120:004 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
120:005 Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among
the tents of Kedar!
120:006 My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.
120:007 I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
121:001 <<A Song of Ascents.>> I will lift up my eyes to the hills.
Where does my help come from?
121:002 My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
121:003 He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you
will not slumber.
121:004 Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
121:005 Yahweh is your keeper. Yahweh is your shade on your right hand.
121:006 The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
121:007 Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.
121:008 Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this
time forth, and forevermore.
122:001 <<A Song of Ascents. By David.>> I was glad when they said to me,
"Let's go to Yahweh's house!"
122:002 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;
122:003 Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together;
122:004 where the tribes go up, even Yah's tribes, according to an
ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.
122:005 For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones
of David's house.
122:006 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
