Nuova Riveduta 2006

di Società Biblica di Ginevra
1 [1](ALEF) Beati quelli che sono integri nelle loro vie, che camminano secondo la legge del Signore. 2 Beati quelli che osservano i suoi insegnamenti, che lo cercano con tutto il cuore 3 e non commettono il male, ma camminano nelle sue vie. 4 Tu hai dato i tuoi precetti perché siano osservati con cura. 5 Sia ferma la mia condotta nell’osservanza dei tuoi statuti! 6 Non dovrò vergognarmi quando considererò tutti i tuoi comandamenti. 7 Ti celebrerò con cuore retto, imparando i tuoi giusti decreti. 8 Osserverò i tuoi statuti, non abbandonarmi mai. (BET) 9 Come potrà il giovane rendere pura la sua via? Badando a essa mediante la tua parola. 10 Ti ho cercato con tutto il mio cuore; non lasciare che mi allontani dai tuoi comandamenti. 11 Ho conservato la tua parola nel mio cuore per non peccare contro di te. 12 Tu sei benedetto, o Signore; insegnami i tuoi statuti. 13 Ho enumerato con le mie labbra tutti i giudizi della tua bocca. 14 Gioisco seguendo le tue testimonianze, come se possedessi tutte le ricchezze. 15 Io mediterò sui tuoi precetti e considererò i tuoi sentieri. 16 Mi diletterò nei tuoi statuti e non dimenticherò la tua parola. (GHIMEL) 17 Fa’ del bene al tuo servo perché io viva e osservi la tua parola. 18 Apri i miei occhi e contemplerò le meraviglie della tua legge. 19 Io sono straniero sulla terra; non nascondermi i tuoi comandamenti. 20 L’anima mia si consuma per il desiderio dei tuoi giudizi in ogni tempo. 21 Tu rimproveri i superbi, i maledetti, che si allontanano dai tuoi comandamenti. 22 Togli via da me l’insulto e il disprezzo perché ho osservato le tue testimonianze. 23 Quando i potenti si siedono a sparlare di me, il tuo servo medita i tuoi statuti. 24 Le tue testimonianze sono la mia gioia; esse sono i miei consiglieri. (DALET) 25 L’anima mia è avvilita nella polvere; ravvivami secondo la tua parola. 26 Ti ho confidato le mie vie e tu mi hai risposto; insegnami i tuoi statuti. 27 Fammi comprendere la via dei tuoi precetti e io mediterò sui tuoi prodigi. 28 L’anima mia, dal dolore, si consuma in lacrime; dammi sollievo con la tua parola. 29 Tieni lontana da me la via della menzogna e, nella tua grazia, fammi comprendere la tua legge. 30 Io ho scelto la via della fedeltà, ho posto i tuoi giudizi davanti ai miei occhi. 31 Ho aderito ai tuoi statuti; o Signore, non permettere che io sia confuso. 32 Io correrò per la via dei tuoi comandamenti, perché mi hai allargato il cuore. (HE) 33 Insegnami, o Signore, la via dei tuoi statuti e io la seguirò sino alla fine. 34 Dammi intelligenza e osserverò la tua legge; la praticherò con tutto il cuore. 35 Guidami per il sentiero dei tuoi comandamenti, poiché in esso trovo la mia gioia. 36 Inclina il mio cuore alle tue testimonianze e non alla cupidigia. 37 Distogli gli occhi miei dal contemplare la vanità e fammi vivere nelle tue vie. 38 Sii fedele alla parola data al tuo servo, perché si abbia timore di te. 39 Allontana da me il disprezzo che mi avvilisce, perché i tuoi giudizi sono buoni. 40 Ecco, io desidero i tuoi precetti, ravvivami nella tua giustizia. (VAV) 41 Mi raggiunga la tua bontà, o Signore, e salvami, secondo la tua parola; 42 e avrò di che rispondere a chi mi offende, perché confido nella tua parola. 43 Non togliere mai dalla mia bocca la parola giusta, perché spero nei tuoi giudizi. 44 Io osserverò sempre la tua legge, per l’eternità. 45 Sicuro proseguirò nella mia strada, perché ricerco i tuoi precetti. 46 Parlerò delle tue testimonianze davanti ai re e non avrò da vergognarmi. 47 Troverò gioia nei tuoi comandamenti, perché li amo. 48 Alzerò le mie mani verso i tuoi comandamenti che amo e mediterò sui tuoi statuti. (ZAIN) 49 Ricòrdati della parola data al tuo servo, con la quale mi hai fatto sperare. 50 Questo mi è di conforto nell’afflizione: che la tua parola mi fa vivere. 51 I superbi mi coprono di scherno, ma io non mi svio dalla tua legge. 52 Ricordo i tuoi giudizi antichi, o Signore, e mi consolo. 53 Grande sdegno mi prende a causa degli empi che abbandonano la tua legge. 54 I tuoi statuti sono per me dei cantici, nella casa dove sono ospite. 55 Ricordo il tuo nome nella notte, o Signore, e osservo la tua legge. 56 Ho questo conforto: che osservo i tuoi precetti. (HET) 57 Il Signore è la mia parte; ho promesso di osservare le tue parole. 58 Ti ho supplicato con tutto il cuore: «Abbi pietà di me, secondo la tua parola». 59 Ho esaminato le mie vie e ho orientato i miei passi verso le tue testimonianze. 60 Senza indugiare, mi sono affrettato a osservare i tuoi comandamenti. 61 Le corde degli empi mi hanno avvinghiato, ma io non ho dimenticato la tua legge. 62 A metà della notte mi alzo per lodarti a motivo dei tuoi giusti giudizi. 63 Io sono amico di tutti quelli che ti temono, di quelli che osservano i tuoi precetti. 64 Signore, la terra è piena della tua bontà; insegnami i tuoi statuti. (TET) 65 Tu hai fatto del bene al tuo servo, o Signore, secondo la tua parola. 66 Concedimi senno e intelligenza, perché ho creduto nei tuoi comandamenti. 67 Prima di essere afflitto, andavo errando, ma ora osservo la tua parola. 68 Tu sei buono e fai del bene; insegnami i tuoi statuti. 69 I superbi inventano menzogne contro di me, ma io osservo i tuoi precetti con tutto il cuore. 70 Il loro cuore è insensibile come il grasso, ma io mi diletto nella tua legge. 71 È stata un bene per me l’afflizione subita, perché imparassi i tuoi statuti. 72 La legge della tua bocca per me vale più di migliaia di monete d’oro e d’argento. (IOD) 73 Le tue mani mi hanno fatto e formato; dammi intelligenza e imparerò i tuoi comandamenti. 74 Quelli che ti temono mi vedranno e si rallegreranno, perché ho sperato nella tua parola. 75 Io so, Signore, che i tuoi giudizi sono giusti e che mi hai afflitto nella tua fedeltà. 76 La tua bontà sia il mio conforto, secondo la parola data al tuo servo. 77 Venga su di me la tua compassione, e vivrò; perché la tua legge è la mia gioia. 78 Siano confusi i superbi, che mentendo mi opprimono; ma io medito sui tuoi precetti. 79 Si rivolgano a me quelli che ti temono e quelli che conoscono le tue testimonianze. 80 Sia perfetta la mia ubbidienza ai tuoi statuti perché io non sia confuso. (CAF) 81 L’anima mia vien meno nell’attesa della tua salvezza; io spero nella tua parola. 82 Si spengono i miei occhi desiderosi della tua parola, mentre dico: «Quando mi consolerai?» 83 Poiché io sono divenuto come un otre affumicato; ma non dimentico i tuoi statuti. 84 Quanti sono i giorni del tuo servo? Quando punirai quelli che mi perseguitano? 85 I superbi mi hanno scavato delle fosse; essi non agiscono secondo la tua legge. 86 Tutti i tuoi comandamenti sono fedeltà; costoro mi perseguitano a torto; soccorrimi! 87 Per poco non mi hanno eliminato dalla terra; ma io non ho abbandonato i tuoi precetti. 88 Rendimi la vita secondo la tua bontà e io osserverò la testimonianza della tua bocca. (LAMED) 89 Per sempre, Signore, la tua parola è stabile nei cieli. 90 La tua fedeltà dura per ogni generazione; tu hai fondato la terra ed essa sussiste. 91 Tutto sussiste anche oggi secondo le tue leggi, perché ogni cosa è al tuo servizio. 92 Se la tua legge non fosse stata la mia gioia, sarei già perito nella mia afflizione. 93 Mai dimenticherò i tuoi precetti, perché per mezzo di essi tu mi dai la vita. 94 Io sono tuo; salvami, perché ho ricercato i tuoi precetti. 95 Gli empi si sono appostati per farmi perire, ma io medito sulle tue testimonianze. 96 Ho visto che ogni cosa perfetta ha un limite, ma il tuo comandamento è senza limiti. (MEM) 97 Oh, quanto amo la tua legge! È la mia meditazione di tutto il giorno. 98 I tuoi comandamenti mi rendono più saggio dei miei nemici; perché sono sempre con me. 99 Ho più conoscenza di tutti i miei maestri, perché le tue testimonianze sono la mia meditazione. 100 Ho più saggezza dei vecchi, perché ho osservato i tuoi precetti. 101 Ho trattenuto i miei piedi da ogni sentiero malvagio, per osservare la tua parola. 102 Non mi sono allontanato dai tuoi giudizi, perché tu mi hai istruito. 103 Oh, come sono dolci le tue parole al mio palato! Sono più dolci del miele alla mia bocca. 104 Mediante i tuoi precetti io divento intelligente; perciò detesto ogni doppiezza. (NUN) 105 La tua parola è una lampada al mio piede e una luce sul mio sentiero. 106 Ho giurato, e lo manterrò, di osservare i tuoi giusti giudizi. 107 Io sono molto afflitto; Signore, rinnova la mia vita secondo la tua parola. 108 Signore, gradisci le offerte volontarie delle mie labbra e insegnami i tuoi giudizi. 109 La mia vita è sempre in pericolo, ma io non dimentico la tua legge. 110 Gli empi mi hanno teso dei lacci, ma io non mi sono allontanato dai tuoi precetti. 111 Le tue testimonianze sono la mia eredità per sempre, esse sono la gioia del mio cuore. 112 Ho messo il mio impegno a praticare i tuoi statuti, sempre, sino alla fine. (SAMEC) 113 Io detesto gli uomini non sinceri, ma amo la tua legge. 114 Tu sei il mio rifugio e il mio scudo; io spero nella tua parola. 115 Allontanatevi da me, malvagi; io osserverò i comandamenti del mio Dio. 116 Sostienimi secondo la tua parola, perché io viva; non rendermi confuso nella mia speranza. 117 Sii il mio sostegno, e sarò salvo, terrò sempre i tuoi statuti davanti agli occhi. 118 Tu disprezzi quanti si sviano dai tuoi statuti, perché il loro inganno è perfidia. 119 tu getti via come scorie tutti gli empi dalla terra; perciò amo le tue testimonianze. 120 Tu mi fai rabbrividire di paura; io temo i tuoi giudizi. (AIN) 121 Mi sono comportato secondo il diritto e la giustizia; non abbandonarmi ai miei oppressori. 122 Garantisci sicurezza al tuo servo e non lasciare che i superbi mi opprimano. 123 Si spengono i miei occhi desiderando la tua salvezza e la parola della tua giustizia. 124 Agisci verso il tuo servo secondo la tua bontà e insegnami i tuoi statuti. 125 Io sono tuo servo; dammi intelligenza perché possa conoscere le tue testimonianze. 126 È tempo che il Signore agisca; essi hanno annullato la tua legge. 127 Perciò io amo i tuoi comandamenti più dell’oro, più dell’oro finissimo. 128 Per questo ritengo giusti tutti i tuoi precetti e odio ogni sentiero di menzogna. (PE) 129 Le tue testimonianze sono meravigliose; perciò l’anima mia le osserva. 130 La rivelazione delle tue parole illumina; rende intelligenti i semplici. 131 Apro la bocca e sospiro, per il desiderio dei tuoi comandamenti. 132 Volgiti a me e abbi pietà, come usi fare con chi ama il tuo nome. 133 Guida i miei passi nella tua parola e non lasciare che alcuna iniquità mi domini. 134 Liberami dall’oppressione degli uomini e osserverò i tuoi precetti. 135 Fa’ risplendere il tuo volto sul tuo servo e insegnami i tuoi statuti. 136 Fiumi di lacrime mi scendono dagli occhi, perché la tua legge non è osservata. (SADE) 137 Tu sei giusto, Signore, e retti sono i tuoi giudizi. 138 Tu hai prescritto le tue testimonianze con giustizia e con grande fedeltà. 139 Il mio zelo mi consuma perché i miei nemici hanno dimenticato le tue parole. 140 La tua parola è pura d’ogni scoria; perciò il tuo servo l’ama. 141 Sono piccolo e disprezzato, ma non dimentico i tuoi precetti. 142 La tua giustizia è una giustizia eterna e la tua legge è verità. 143 Affanno e tribolazione mi hanno colto, ma i tuoi comandamenti sono la mia gioia. 144 Le tue testimonianze sono giuste in eterno; dammi intelligenza e io vivrò. (QOF) 145 Io grido con tutto il cuore; rispondimi, Signore! Osserverò i tuoi statuti. 146 Io t’invoco; salvami, e osserverò le tue testimonianze. 147 Mi alzo prima dell’alba e grido; io spero nella tua parola. 148 Gli occhi miei prevengono le veglie della notte, per meditare la tua parola. 149 Ascolta la mia voce secondo la tua bontà; Signore, fammi vivere secondo la tua giustizia. 150 Si avvicinano quelli che vanno dietro all’infamia: essi sono lontani dalla tua legge. 151 Tu sei vicino, Signore, e tutti i tuoi comandamenti sono verità. 152 Da lungo tempo conosco le tue testimonianze che hai stabilite in eterno. (RES) 153 Considera la mia afflizione e liberami; perché non ho dimenticato la tua legge. 154 Difendi tu la mia causa e riscattami; dammi la vita secondo la tua parola. 155 La salvezza è lontana dagli empi, perché non cercano i tuoi statuti. 156 Le tue compassioni sono grandi, Signore; dammi la vita secondo i tuoi giudizi. 157 I miei persecutori e i miei avversari sono tanti, ma io non devio dalle tue testimonianze. 158 Ho visto i traditori e ne ho provato orrore, perché non osservano la tua parola. 159 Vedi come amo i tuoi precetti! Signore, dammi la vita secondo la tua bontà. 160 La somma della tua parola è verità; tutti i tuoi giusti giudizi durano in eterno. (SIN) 161 I potenti mi hanno perseguitato senza ragione, ma il mio cuore ha timore delle tue parole. 162 Gioisco della tua parola, come chi trova un grande bottino. 163 Odio e detesto la menzogna, ma amo la tua legge. 164 Io ti lodo sette volte al giorno per i tuoi giusti giudizi. 165 Grande pace hanno quelli che amano la tua legge e non c’è nulla che possa farli cadere. 166 Io ho sperato nella tua salvezza, Signore, e ho messo in pratica i tuoi comandamenti. 167 La mia anima ha osservato le tue testimonianze e io le amo molto. 168 Ho osservato i tuoi precetti e le tue testimonianze, perché tutte le mie vie ti stanno davanti. (TAV) 169 Giunga il mio grido fino a te, Signore; dammi intelligenza secondo la tua parola. 170 Giunga la mia supplica in tua presenza; liberami secondo la tua parola. 171 Le mie labbra esprimeranno la tua lode, perché tu m’insegni i tuoi statuti. 172 La mia lingua celebrerà la tua parola, perché tutti i tuoi comandamenti sono giustizia. 173 La tua mano mi aiuti, perché ho scelto i tuoi precetti. 174 Io bramo la tua salvezza, Signore, e la tua legge è la mia gioia. 175 L’anima mia viva, ed essa ti loderà; e mi soccorrano i tuoi giudizi. 176 Io vado errando come pecora smarrita; cerca il tuo servo, perché io non dimentico i tuoi comandamenti.

1 Glücklich sind, die im Weg untadelig sind, die im Gesetz des HERRN wandeln. (Sal 128,1; Lu 1,6) 2 Glücklich sind, die seine Zeugnisse bewahren, die ihn von ganzem Herzen suchen. (De 4,29; De 6,17; 1Re 2,3; 2Cr 31,21; Sal 119,17; Lu 11,28) 3 Die auch kein Unrecht tun, die auf seinen Wegen wandeln! (Ger 7,23; Ez 18,17) 4 Du hast deine Vorschriften geboten, dass man sie eifrig beobachte. (De 6,3; Mat 5,19) 5 Oh, dass doch meine Wege beständig wären, deine Ordnungen zu halten! 6 Dann werde ich nicht beschämt werden, wenn ich beachte alle deine Gebote. (Sal 119,31) 7 Ich will dich preisen mit aufrichtigem Herzen, wenn ich gelernt habe die Bestimmungen deiner Gerechtigkeit. (Sal 119,171) 8 Deine Ordnungen will ich halten. Verlass mich nicht ganz und gar! (Sal 119,145) 9 Wodurch hält ein Jüngling seinen Pfad rein? Indem er sich bewahrt nach deinem Wort. (Sal 17,4; Prov 1,4) 10 Mit meinem ganzen Herzen habe ich dich gesucht. Lass mich nicht abirren von deinen Geboten! (2Cr 15,15) 11 In meinem Herzen habe ich dein Wort verwahrt, damit ich nicht gegen dich sündige. (Lu 8,15; Col 3,16) 12 Gepriesen seist du, HERR! Lehre mich deine Ordnungen! (Sal 119,26) 13 Mit meinen Lippen habe ich erzählt alle Bestimmungen deines Mundes. (De 6,6) 14 An dem Weg deiner Zeugnisse habe ich Freude, mehr als an allem Reichtum. (Sal 119,72; Sal 119,111) 15 Deine Vorschriften will ich bedenken und beachten deine Pfade. (Sal 1,2; Sal 119,23) 16 An deinen Satzungen habe ich meine Lust. Dein Wort vergesse ich nicht. (Sal 119,24; Sal 119,61; Ger 15,16; Ro 7,22) 17 Tue Gutes an deinem Knecht, so werde ich leben. Ich will dein Wort halten! (Sal 119,2; Sal 119,77) 18 Öffne meine Augen, damit ich schaue die Wunder aus deinem Gesetz. (Ef 1,18) 19 Ein Gast bin ich im Land. Verbirg nicht vor mir deine Gebote! (Sal 39,13) 20 Meine Seele zermürbt sich vor Verlangen nach deinen Bestimmungen zu aller Zeit. (Sal 119,40) 21 Gescholten[1] hast du die Übermütigen, die Verfluchten, die abirren von deinen Geboten. (De 27,26; Sal 119,118) 22 Wälze von mir Hohn und Verachtung! Denn deine Zeugnisse habe ich bewahrt. (Sal 119,39) 23 Sitzen auch Oberste und verhandeln gegen mich, dein Knecht sinnt nach über deine Ordnungen. (Sal 119,15; Sal 119,161) 24 Deine Zeugnisse sind auch meine Lust, meine Ratgeber ⟨sind sie⟩. (Sal 119,16) 25 Am Staub klebt meine Seele. Belebe mich nach deinem Wort! (Sal 44,26; Sal 119,93; Sal 143,11) 26 Meine Wege habe ich erzählt, und du hast mich erhört. Lehre mich deine Ordnungen! (2Re 20,3; Sal 119,12) 27 Lass mich verstehen den Weg deiner Vorschriften. Sinnen will ich über deine Wunder. (Sal 77,13) 28 Meine Seele zerfließt vor Kummer. Richte mich auf nach deinem Wort! (Mat 5,4) 29 Halte fern von mir den Weg der Lüge, und gewähre mir dein Gesetz! (Prov 30,8) 30 Den Weg der Treue habe ich erwählt, ich habe vor mich gestellt deine Bestimmungen. (De 6,6; Sal 18,23) 31 Ich halte an deinen Zeugnissen fest. HERR, lass mich nicht beschämt werden! (Sal 119,6) 32 Den Weg deiner Gebote werde ich laufen, denn du machst mir das Herz weit. (Gen 26,22; Sal 119,45) 33 Lehre mich, HERR, den Weg deiner Ordnungen, und ich will ihn bewahren bis ans Ende. (Sal 39,2; Sal 119,2; Sal 119,12; Is 54,13) 34 Gib mir Einsicht, und ich will dein Gesetz bewahren und es halten von ganzem Herzen. (Sal 39,2; Sal 119,2; Sal 119,66; Prov 2,6) 35 Leite mich auf dem Pfad deiner Gebote! Denn ich habe Gefallen daran. (Sal 1,2) 36 Neige mein Herz zu deinen Zeugnissen und nicht zum Gewinn! (Sal 141,4) 37 Wende meine Augen ⟨davon⟩ ab, das Eitle zu betrachten. Belebe mich auf deinen Wegen! 38 Halte deinem Knecht deine Zusage aufrecht,[2] die deiner Furcht entspricht[3]! (Sal 119,50) 39 Wende ab meine Schande, die ich fürchte! Denn deine Bestimmungen sind gut. (Sal 119,22) 40 Siehe, ich sehne mich nach deinen Vorschriften! Belebe mich durch deine Gerechtigkeit! (Sal 119,20) 41 Lass über mich kommen deine Gnaden, HERR, dein Heil[4] nach deiner Zusage, (Sal 119,50; Sal 119,81) 42 damit ich meinem Lästerer ein Wort antworten kann. Denn ich vertraue auf dein Wort. 43 Entziehe meinem Mund das Wort der Wahrheit[5] nicht allzu sehr! Denn ich hoffe auf deine Bestimmungen. (Sal 119,74; Is 59,21) 44 Halten will ich dein Gesetz beständig, immer und ewig. (Sal 119,55) 45 Und ich werde wandeln in weitem Raum, denn nach deinen Vorschriften habe ich geforscht. (Sal 119,32; Sal 119,94) 46 Vor Königen will ich reden von deinen Zeugnissen und mich nicht schämen. (Mat 10,18; Ro 1,16) 47 Ich habe meine Lust an deinen Geboten, die ich liebe, (Sal 119,16; Sal 119,97) 48 und werde meine Hände aufheben zu deinen Geboten, die ich lieb habe. Und über deine Ordnungen will ich nachdenken. (Sal 119,15; Sal 119,97) 49 Gedenke des Wortes an deinen Knecht, worauf du mich hast warten lassen! 50 Dies ist mein Trost in meinem Elend, dass deine Zusage mich belebt hat. (Sal 119,38; Sal 119,92; Sal 138,7) 51 Die Übermütigen haben mich über die Maßen verspottet, aber von deinem Gesetz bin ich nicht abgewichen. (Sal 119,157) 52 Ich gedachte, HERR, deiner Bestimmungen von alters her, und ich tröstete mich. (Sal 77,12) 53 Zornglut hat mich ergriffen wegen der Gottlosen, die dein Gesetz verlassen. (Ne 5,6; Mar 3,5) 54 Lieder waren mir deine Ordnungen im Haus meiner Fremdlingschaft. 55 In der Nacht habe ich deines Namens gedacht, HERR, und ich habe dein Gesetz gehalten. (Sal 119,44) 56 Dies ist mir zuteilgeworden: Dass ich deine Vorschriften bewahre. 57 [6] Mein Teil ist der HERR! Ich habe versprochen, deine Worte zu bewahren.[7] (Sal 119,2) 58 Ich suchte dich zu besänftigen von ganzem Herzen. Sei mir gnädig nach deiner Zusage! (Sal 119,145) 59 Ich habe meine Wege überdacht und meine Füße gekehrt zu deinen Zeugnissen. (Lam 3,40) 60 Ich bin geeilt und habe nicht gezögert, deine Gebote zu halten. (Gen 18,6) 61 Stricke der Gottlosen haben mich umgeben. Dein Gesetz habe ich nicht vergessen. (Sal 119,16) 62 Um Mitternacht stehe ich auf, um dich zu preisen wegen der Bestimmungen deiner Gerechtigkeit. (Sal 119,164; At 16,25) 63 Ich bin der Gefährte aller, die dich fürchten, derer, die deine Vorschriften einhalten. (Sal 119,79) 64 Von deiner Gnade, HERR, ist die Erde erfüllt. Lehre mich deine Ordnungen! (Sal 33,5; Sal 119,12) 65 Du hast Gutes getan an deinem Knecht, HERR, nach deinem Wort! 66 Gute Einsicht und Erkenntnis lehre mich! Denn ich habe deinen Geboten geglaubt. (Sal 119,34) 67 Bevor ich gedemütigt wurde, irrte ich. Jetzt aber halte ich dein Wort. 68 Du bist gut und tust Gutes. Lehre mich deine Ordnungen! (Sal 119,12) 69 Lügen haben die Frechen gegen mich erdichtet.[8] Ich bewahre deine Vorschriften von ganzem Herzen. (Sal 119,2) 70 Ihr Herz ist unempfindlich geworden wie Fett. Ich habe meine Lust an deinem Gesetz. (Sal 119,16; Is 6,10) 71 Es war gut für mich, dass ich gedemütigt wurde, damit ich deine Ordnungen lernte. (Sal 94,12) 72 Lieber ist mir das Gesetz deines Mundes als Tausende von Gold- und Silberstücken. (Sal 19,11; Sal 119,14; Prov 3,13) 73 Deine Hände haben mich gemacht und bereitet. Gib mir Einsicht, ich will deine Gebote lernen. (Giob 10,8; Sal 95,6; Sal 119,34; Col 1,9) 74 Die dich fürchten, werden mich sehen und sich freuen, denn ich harre auf dein Wort. (Sal 119,43) 75 Ich habe erkannt, HERR, dass deine Gerichte Gerechtigkeit sind und dass du mich in Treue gedemütigt hast. 76 Lass doch deine Gnade mir zum Trost sein nach deiner Zusage an deinen Knecht! (Sal 119,38) 77 Lass deine Erbarmungen über mich kommen, dass ich lebe. Denn dein Gesetz ist meine Lust. (Sal 119,16; Sal 119,17) 78 Lass beschämt werden die Übermütigen, die mich lügnerisch bedrücken. Ich denke über deine Vorschriften nach. (Sal 119,15; Sal 119,86) 79 Lass sich zu mir wenden, die dich fürchten und die deine Zeugnisse erkennen! (Sal 119,63) 80 Lass mein Herz untadelig sein in deinen Ordnungen, damit ich nicht in Schande komme. (Sal 119,6) 81 Meine Seele verzehrt sich nach deinem Heil[9]. Ich warte auf dein Wort. (Sal 119,41; Sal 119,43; Sal 130,5) 82 Meine Augen verzehren sich nach deiner Zusage: »Wann wirst du mich trösten?« 83 Denn wie ein Schlauch im Rauch bin ich. Deine Ordnungen habe ich nicht vergessen. (Giob 30,30; Sal 119,16) 84 Wie viele werden der Tage deines Knechts sein? Wann wirst du Gericht halten über meine Verfolger? (Sal 89,48; 2Te 1,6) 85 Die Übermütigen haben mir Gruben gegraben, sie, die nicht nach deinem Gesetz sind. (Sal 35,7) 86 Alle deine Gebote sind Treue[10]. Sie haben mich verfolgt ohne Grund. Hilf mir! (Sal 119,78) 87 Wenig fehlte, so hätten sie mich vernichtet im Land. Ich aber, ich habe deine Vorschriften nicht verlassen. 88 Belebe mich nach deiner Gnade, und ich werde bewahren das Zeugnis deines Mundes. (Sal 119,2; Sal 119,124) 89 In Ewigkeit, HERR, steht dein Wort fest im Himmel. (Sal 111,7; Is 40,8; Mat 5,18; 1P 1,25) 90 Von Generation zu Generation ⟨währt⟩ deine Treue. Du hast die Erde gegründet, und sie steht. (Sal 100,5; Sal 104,5) 91 Nach deinen Ordnungen bestehen sie bis heute, denn alles ist dir dienstbar. (Is 40,26) 92 Wäre nicht dein Gesetz meine Lust gewesen, dann wäre ich verloren gegangen in meinem Elend. (Sal 119,16; Sal 119,50) 93 Ewig werde ich deine Vorschriften nicht vergessen, denn durch sie hast du mich belebt. (Sal 119,16; Sal 119,25) 94 Ich bin dein, rette mich! Denn ich habe nach deinen Vorschriften gesucht. (Sal 3,8; Sal 119,45; Sal 119,146; Cc 6,3; Ger 17,14; At 27,23) 95 Die Gottlosen haben mir aufgelauert, um mich umzubringen[11]. Ich achte auf deine Zeugnisse. 96 Von allen Vollkommenen habe ich ein Ende gesehen. Doch dein Gebot reicht sehr weit. 97 Wie liebe ich dein Gesetz! Es ist mein Nachdenken den ganzen Tag. (Sal 119,15; Sal 119,47) 98 Dein Gebot macht mich weiser als meine Feinde. Denn ewig ist es mein! (De 4,6) 99 Verständiger bin ich als alle meine Lehrer. Denn deine Zeugnisse sind mein Überlegen. (Sal 119,15) 100 Einsichtiger als Greise bin ich. Denn deine Vorschriften habe ich gehalten. (Giob 32,9; Sal 119,34) 101 Von jedem bösen Pfad habe ich meine Füße zurückgehalten, damit ich dein Wort bewahre. (Sal 119,2; Prov 1,15) 102 Von deinen Bestimmungen gewichen bin ich nicht, denn du, du hast mich unterwiesen. (Giob 36,22; Tit 2,12) 103 Wie süß ist meinem Gaumen dein Wort, mehr als Honig meinem Mund! (Sal 19,11; Ez 3,3) 104 Aus deinen Vorschriften empfange ich Einsicht. Darum hasse ich jeden Lügenpfad! (Giob 32,9; Sal 119,34; Sal 119,128) 105 Eine Leuchte für meinen Fuß ist dein Wort, ein Licht für meinen Pfad. (Prov 6,23; 2P 1,19) 106 Ich habe geschworen und halte es aufrecht, die Bestimmungen deiner Gerechtigkeit zu bewahren. (Ne 10,30) 107 Ich bin über die Maßen gebeugt. HERR, belebe mich nach deinem Wort! (Sal 119,25) 108 Die Gaben[12] meines Mundes lass dir doch wohlgefallen, HERR! Lehre mich deine Bestimmungen! (Sal 19,15; Sal 27,6; Sal 119,12; Eb 13,15) 109 Mein Leben ist ständig in meiner Hand[13], aber dein Gesetz habe ich nicht vergessen. (Sal 119,16) 110 Die Gottlosen haben mir eine Schlinge gelegt, aber von deinen Vorschriften bin ich nicht abgeirrt. (Sal 38,13; Sal 57,7) 111 Deine Zeugnisse sind mein Erbe für ewig, denn die Freude meines Herzens sind sie.

(Sal 119,6; Sal 119,17) 117 Stütze mich, dass ich gerettet werde. Und ich will beständig auf deine Ordnungen schauen[17]. 118 Abgewiesen hast du alle, die von deinen Ordnungen abirren. Denn Lüge ist ihr Sinnen[18]. (Sal 119,21; Prov 12,20) 119 ⟨Wie⟩ Schlacken hast du weggeräumt alle Gottlosen des Landes, darum liebe ich deine Zeugnisse. (Sal 119,47; Ez 22,18) 120 Vor deinem Schrecken schaudert mein Fleisch, ich fürchte mich vor deinen Urteilen. (Sal 88,16; Abac 3,16) 121 Ich habe Recht und Gerechtigkeit geübt.

(Sal 119,14; Sal 119,47) 128 Darum wandle ich aufrichtig[21] nach allen deinen Vorschriften[22]. Jeden Lügenpfad hasse ich. (Sal 119,104; Sal 119,172) 129 Wunderbar sind deine Zeugnisse, darum bewahrt sie meine Seele. 130 Die Eröffnung deiner Worte leuchtet[23], sie gibt Einsicht den Einfältigen. (Sal 19,8; Sal 119,34) 131 Ich habe meinen Mund weit aufgetan und gelechzt, denn ich sehne mich nach deinen Geboten. (1P 2,2) 132 Wende dich zu mir und sei mir gnädig nach dem Anrecht derer, die deinen Namen lieben!

(Sal 119,12) 136 Wasserbäche fließen herab aus meinen Augen, weil man dein Gesetz nicht hält. (Fili 3,18) 137 Gerecht bist du, HERR, und richtig sind deine Urteile. (Esd 9,15; Ap 19,2) 138 Du hast in Gerechtigkeit deine Zeugnisse geboten und in großer Treue[24]. (De 4,8) 139 Verzehrt[25] hat mich mein Eifer, denn meine Bedränger haben deine Worte vergessen. (1Re 19,10; Sal 69,10) 140 Wohlgeläutert ist dein Wort, dein Knecht hat es lieb. (Sal 12,7; Sal 119,47; Prov 30,5) 141 Gering bin ich und verachtet. Deine Vorschriften habe ich nicht vergessen. (Sal 119,16) 142 Deine Gerechtigkeit ist eine ewige Gerechtigkeit, und dein Gesetz ist Wahrheit[26]. 143 Angst und Bedrängnis haben mich erreicht. Deine Gebote sind meine Lust. (Sal 119,16) 144 Gerechtigkeit sind deine Zeugnisse für ewig. Gib mir Einsicht, damit ich lebe! (Sal 119,17; Sal 119,34; Sal 119,151; Prov 4,4) 145 Von ganzem Herzen habe ich gerufen: Erhöre mich, HERR! Ich will deine Ordnungen halten. (Sal 119,8; Sal 119,58) 146 Zu dir habe ich gerufen: Rette mich! Ich will deine Zeugnisse bewahren. (Sal 119,2; Sal 119,94) 147 Der Morgendämmerung bin ich zuvorgekommen und habe um Hilfe gerufen. Auf deine Worte habe ich gehofft. (Sal 88,2; Sal 119,43) 148 Meine Augen sind den Nachtwachen zuvorgekommen, um nachzudenken über dein Wort. (Sal 119,15) 149 Höre meine Stimme nach deiner Gnade! HERR, belebe mich nach deinen Bestimmungen! (Sal 119,25; Sal 119,88) 150 Nahe sind gekommen, die mich arglistig verfolgen[27]. Fern sind sie von deinem Gesetz. (Is 59,11; Mat 26,46) 151 Du bist nahe, HERR, und alle deine Gebote sind Wahrheit[28]. (Sal 119,142) 152 Längst habe ich aus deinen Zeugnissen erkannt, dass du sie gegründet hast auf ewig. 153 Sieh mein Elend an und rette mich! Denn dein Gesetz habe ich nicht vergessen. (Sal 119,16) 154 Führe meinen Rechtsstreit und erlöse mich! Belebe mich nach deiner Zusage!

Belebe mich nach deinen Bestimmungen! (1Cr 21,13; Sal 119,25) 157 Zahlreich sind meine Verfolger und meine Bedränger. Doch von deinen Zeugnissen bin ich nicht abgewichen. (Sal 119,51) 158 Die Treulosen habe ich gesehen, und es ekelte mich an, weil sie dein Wort nicht bewahrten. (Sal 139,21) 159 Sieh, dass ich deine Vorschriften lieb habe. Nach deiner Gnade, HERR, belebe mich! (Sal 119,47) 160 Die Summe deines Wortes ist Wahrheit[29], und jedes Urteil deiner Gerechtigkeit ⟨währt⟩ ewig. (Sal 119,142; Giov 17,17) 161 Oberste haben mich verfolgt ohne Ursache. Aber vor deinem Wort hat mein Herz gebebt. (Sal 119,23; Is 66,2) 162 Ich freue mich über dein Wort wie einer, der große Beute macht. (Sal 119,14) 163 Lüge hasse und verabscheue ich. Dein Gesetz liebe ich.

Sie trifft kein Straucheln. 166 Ich habe auf dein Heil[30] gewartet, HERR, und deine Gebote habe ich erfüllt[31]. (Gen 49,18; Lam 3,26) 167 Meine Seele hat deine Zeugnisse befolgt, und ich liebe sie sehr. (Sal 119,47) 168 Deine Vorschriften und deine Zeugnisse habe ich befolgt, denn alle meine Wege sind vor dir. (Sal 139,3; Prov 5,21) 169 Lass mein Schreien nahe vor dich kommen, HERR! Gib mir Einsicht nach deinem Wort! (Sal 119,34) 170 Lass vor dich kommen mein Flehen! Rette mich nach deiner Zusage! (Sal 119,94; Ger 37,20; Ger 42,2) 171 Meine Lippen sollen Lob hervorströmen lassen, denn du lehrst mich deine Ordnungen. (Sal 119,7) 172 Meine Zunge soll dein Wort besingen[32]. Denn alle deine Gebote sind Gerechtigkeit. (Sal 119,128; Ro 7,12) 173 Lass deine Hand mir zur Hilfe kommen! Denn ich habe deine Vorschriften erwählt. 174 Ich sehne mich nach deiner Rettung, HERR! Dein Gesetz ist meine Lust. (Sal 119,16; Sal 119,41) 175 Meine Seele soll leben und dich loben! Deine Bestimmungen sollen mir helfen! (Sal 119,17; Is 38,19) 176 Ich bin umhergeirrt wie ein verloren gegangenes Schaf. Suche deinen Knecht! Denn ich habe deine Gebote nicht vergessen. (Sal 119,16; Is 53,6; Ez 34,6; 1P 2,25)

Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word. 18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. 19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me. 20 My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times. 21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments. 22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies. 23 Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. 24 Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors. 25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word. 26 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes. 27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. 28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word. 29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. 30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me . 31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame. 32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart. 33 HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end. 34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. 35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight. 36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. 37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way. 38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear. 39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good. 40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness. 41 VAU.

Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. 50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me. 51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law. 52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself. 53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law. 54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. 55 I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law. 56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts. 57 CHETH. Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words. 58 I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word. 59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. 60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. 61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law. 62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments. 63 I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts. 64 The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes. 65 TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word. 66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. 67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. 68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. 69 The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart. 70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law. 71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. 72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. 73 JOD.

My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word. 82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me? 83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes. 84 How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? 85 The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law. 86 All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. 87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts. 88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth. 89 LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. 90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. 91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants. 92 Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction. 93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me. 94 I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts. 95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies. 96 I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad. 97 MEM.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. 106 I have sworn, and I will perform it , that I will keep thy righteous judgments. 107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word. 108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments. 109 My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. 110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts. 111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. 112 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end. 113 SAMECH. I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. 114 Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. 115 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. 116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. 117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. 118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. 119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. 120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. 121 AIN. I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors. 122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. 123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness. 124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. 125 I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. 126 It is time for thee , LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law. 127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. 128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. 129 PE. Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. 130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. 131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments. 132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name. 133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. 134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. 135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. 136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law. 137 TZADDI. Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments. 138 Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful. 139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. 140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. 141 I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts. 142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth. 143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights. 144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. 145 KOPH. I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes. 146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies. 147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. 148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word. 149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment. 150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law. 151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth. 152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever. 153 RESH. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law. 154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word. 155 Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes. 156 Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments. 157 Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies. 158 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word. 159 Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness. 160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. 161 SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. 162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. 163 I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. 164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments. 165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. 166 LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments. 167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly. 168 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee. 169 TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word. 170 Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word. 171 My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes. 172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness. 173 Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts. 174 I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight. 175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me. 176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.
