Psalms 116

1I love Jehovah, because he heareth
My voice and my supplications.

2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,
Therefore will I call [upon him] as long as I live.

3The cords of death compassed me,
And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me:
I found trouble and sorrow.

4Then called I upon the name of Jehovah:
O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

5Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous;
Yea, our God is merciful.

6Jehovah preserveth the simple:
I was brought low, and he saved me.

7Return unto thy rest, O my soul;
For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.

8For thou hast delivered my soul from death,
Mine eyes from tears,
[And] my feet from falling.

9I will walk before Jehovah
In the land of the living.

10I believe, for I will speak:
I was greatly afflicted:

11I said in my haste,
All men are liars.

12What shall I render unto Jehovah
For all his benefits toward me?

13I will take the cup of salvation,
And call upon the name of Jehovah.

14I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,
Yea, in the presence of all his people.

15Precious in the sight of Jehovah
Is the death of his saints.

16O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant:
I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid;
Thou hast loosed my bonds.

17I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And will call upon the name of Jehovah.

18I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,
Yea, in the presence of all his people,

19In the courts of Jehovah’s house,
In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
Praise ye Jehovah.

Psalms 117

1O praise Jehovah, all ye nations;
Laud him, all ye peoples.

2For his lovingkindness is great toward us;
And the truth of Jehovah [endureth] for ever.
Praise ye Jehovah.

Psalms 118

1Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.

2Let Israel now say,
That his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.

3Let the house of Aaron now say,
That his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.

4Let them now that fear Jehovah say,
That his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.

5Out of my distress I called upon Jehovah:
Jehovah answered me [and set me] in a large place.

6Jehovah is on my side; I will not fear:
What can man do unto me?

7Jehovah is on my side among them that help me:
Therefore shall I see [my desire] upon them that hate me.

8It is better to take refuge in Jehovah
Than to put confidence in man.

9It is better to take refuge in Jehovah
Than to put confidence in princes.

10All nations compassed me about:
In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

11They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about:
In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

12They compassed me about like bees;
They are quenched as the fire of thorns:
In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

13Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall;
But Jehovah helped me.

14Jehovah is my strength and song;
And he is become my salvation.

15The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of
the righteous:
The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.

16The right hand of Jehovah is exalted:
The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.

17I shall not die, but live,
And declare the works of Jehovah.

18Jehovah hath chastened me sore;
But he hath not given me over unto death.

19Open to me the gates of righteousness:
I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto Jehovah.

20This is the gate of Jehovah;
The righteous shall enter into it.

21I will give thanks unto thee; for thou hast answered me,
And art become my salvation.

22The stone which the builders rejected Is become the
head of the corner.

23This is Jehovah’s doing;
It is marvellous in our eyes.

24This is the day which Jehovah hath made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.

25Save now, we beseech thee, O Jehovah:
O Jehovah, we beseech thee, send now prosperity.

26Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Jehovah:
We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah.

27Jehovah is God, and he hath given us light:
Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

28Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto thee:
Thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

29Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.

Psalms 119

1Blessed are they that are perfect in the way,
Who walk in the law of Jehovah.

2Blessed are they that keep his testimonies,
That seek him with the whole heart.

3Yea, they do no unrighteousness;
They walk in his ways.

4Thou hast commanded [us] thy precepts,
That we should observe them diligently.

5Oh that my ways were established
To observe thy statutes!

6Then shall I not be put to shame,
When I have respect unto all thy commandments.

7I will give thanks unto thee with uprightness of heart,
When I learn thy righteous judgments.

8I will observe thy statutes:
Oh forsake me not utterly.

BETH.

9Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way?
By taking heed [thereto] according to thy word.

10With my whole heart have I sought thee:
Oh let me not wander from thy commandments.

11Thy word have I laid up in my heart,
That I might not sin against thee.

12Blessed art thou, O Jehovah:
Teach me thy statutes.

13With my lips have I declared
All the ordinances of thy mouth.

14I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies,
As much as in all riches.

15I will meditate on thy precepts,
And have respect unto thy ways.

16I will delight myself in thy statutes:
I will not forget thy word.

GIMEL.

17Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live;
So will I observe thy word.

18Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold
Wondrous things out of thy law.

19I am a sojourner in the earth:
Hide not thy commandments from me.

20My soul breaketh for the longing
That it hath unto thine ordinances at all times.

21Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed,
That do wander from thy commandments.

22Take away from me reproach and contempt;
For I have kept thy testimonies.

23Princes also sat and talked against me;
[But] thy servant did meditate on thy statutes.

24Thy testimonies also are my delight
[And] my counsellors.

DALETH.

25My soul cleaveth unto the dust:
Quicken thou me according to thy word.

26I declared my ways, and thou answeredst me:
Teach me thy statutes.

27Make me to understand the way of thy precepts:
So shall I meditate on thy wondrous works.

28My soul melteth for heaviness:
Strengthen thou me according unto thy word.

29Remove from me the way of falsehood;
And grant me thy law graciously.

30I have chosen the way of faithfulness:
Thine ordinances have I set [before me].

31I cleave unto thy testimonies:
O Jehovah, put me not to shame.

32I will run the way of thy commandments,
When thou shalt enlarge my heart.

HE.

33Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of thy statutes;
And I shall keep it unto the end.

34Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law;
Yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

35Make me to go in the path of thy commandments;
For therein do I delight.

36Incline my heart unto thy testimonies,
And not to covetousness.

37Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity,
And quicken me in thy ways.

38Confirm unto thy servant thy word,
Which [is in order] unto the fear of thee.

39Turn away my reproach whereof I am afraid;
For thine ordinances are good.

40Behold, I have longed after thy precepts:
Quicken me in thy righteousness.

VAV.

41Let thy lovingkindnesses also come unto me, O Jehovah,
Even thy salvation, according to thy word.

42So shall I have an answer for him that reproacheth me;
For I trust in thy word.

43And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth;
For I have hoped in thine ordinances.

44So shall I observe thy law continually
For ever and ever.

45And I shall walk at liberty;
For I have sought thy precepts.

46I will also speak of thy testimonies before kings,
And shall not be put to shame.

47And I will delight myself in thy commandments,
Which I have loved.

48I will lift up my hands also unto thy commandments,
which I have loved;
And I will meditate on thy statutes.

ZAYIN.

49Remember the word unto thy servant,
Because thou hast made me to hope.

50This is my comfort in my affliction;
For thy word hath quickened me.

51The proud have had me greatly in derision:
[Yet] have I not swerved from thy law.

52I have remembered thine ordinances of old, O Jehovah,
And have comforted myself.

53Hot indignation hath taken hold upon me,
Because of the wicked that forsake thy law.

54Thy statutes have been my songs
In the house of my pilgrimage.

55I have remembered thy name, O Jehovah, in the night,
And have observed thy law.

56This I have had,
Because I have kept thy precepts.

HHETH.

57Jehovah is my portion:
I have said that I would observe thy words.

58I entreated thy favor with my whole heart:
Be merciful unto me according to thy word.

59I thought on my ways,
And turned my feet unto thy testimonies.

60I made haste, and delayed not,
To observe thy commandments.

61The cords of the wicked have wrapped me round;
[But] I have not forgotten thy law.

62At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee
Because of thy righteous ordinances.

63I am a companion of all them that fear thee,
And of them that observe thy precepts.

64The earth, O Jehovah, is full of thy lovingkindness:
Teach me thy statutes.

TETH.

65Thou hast dealt well with thy servant,
O Jehovah, according unto thy word.

66Teach me good judgment and knowledge;
For I have believed in thy commandments.

67Before I was afflicted I went astray;
But now I observe thy word.

68Thou art good, and doest good;
Teach me thy statutes.

69The proud have forged a lie against me:
With my whole heart will I keep thy precepts.

70Their heart is as fat as grease;
But I delight in thy law.

71It is good for me that I have been afflicted;
That I may learn thy statutes.

72The law of thy mouth is better unto me
Than thousands of gold and silver.

YODH.

73Thy hands have made me and fashioned me:
Give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

74They that fear thee shall see me and be glad,
Because I have hoped in thy word.

75I know, O Jehovah, that thy judgments are righteous,
And that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.

76Let, I pray thee, thy lovingkindness be for my comfort,
According to thy word unto thy servant.

77Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live;
For thy law is my delight.

78Let the proud be put to shame;
For they have overthrown me wrongfully:
[But] I will meditate on thy precepts.

79Let those that fear thee turn unto me;
And they shall know thy testimonies.

80Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes,
That I be not put to shame.

KAPH.

81My soul fainteth for thy salvation;
[But] I hope in thy word.

82Mine eyes fail for thy word,
While I say, When wilt thou comfort me?

83For I am become like a wine-skin in the smoke;
Yet do I not forget thy statutes.

84How many are the days of thy servant?
When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

85The proud have digged pits for me,
Who are not according to thy law.

86All thy commandments are faithful:
They persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.

87They had almost consumed me upon earth;
But I forsook not thy precepts.

LAMEDH.

88Quicken me after thy lovingkindness;
So shall I observe the testimony of thy mouth.

89For ever, O Jehovah,
Thy word is settled in heaven.

90Thy faithfulness is unto all generations:
Thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.

91They abide this day according to thine ordinances;
For all things are thy servants.

92Unless thy law had been my delight,
I should then have perished in mine affliction.

93I will never forget thy precepts;
For with them thou hast quickened me.

94I am thine, save me;
For I have sought thy precepts.

95The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me;
[But] I will consider thy testimonies.

MEM.

96I have seen an end of all perfection;
[But] thy commandment is exceeding broad.

97Oh how love I thy law!
It is my meditation all the day.

98Thy commandments make me wiser than mine enemies;
For they are ever with me.

99I have more understanding than all my teachers;
For thy testimonies are my meditation.

100I understand more than the aged,
Because I have kept thy precepts.

101I have refrained my feet from every evil way,
That I might observe thy word.

102I have not turned aside from thine ordinances;
For thou hast taught me.

103How sweet are thy words unto my taste!
[Yea, sweeter] than honey to my mouth!

104Through thy precepts I get understanding:
Therefore I hate every false way.

NUN.

105Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,
And light unto my path.

106I have sworn, and have confirmed it,
That I will observe thy righteous ordinances.

107I am afflicted very much:
Quicken me, O Jehovah, according unto thy word.

108Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill-offerings of my
mouth, O Jehovah,
And teach me thine ordinances.

109My soul is continually in my hand;
Yet do I not forget thy law.

110The wicked have laid a snare for me;
Yet have I not gone astray from thy precepts.

111Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever;
For they are the rejoicing of my heart.

112I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes
For ever, even unto the end.

SAMEKH.

113I hate them that are of a double mind;
But thy law do I love.

114Thou art my hiding-place and my shield:
I hope in thy word.

115Depart from me, ye evil-doers,
That I may keep the commandments of my God.

116Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live;
And let me not be ashamed of my hope.

117Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe,
And shall have respect unto thy statutes continually.

118Thou hast set at nought all them that err from thy
statutes;
For their deceit is falsehood.

119Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like
dross:
Therefore I love thy testimonies.

120My flesh trembleth for fear of thee;
And I am afraid of thy judgments.

AYIN.

121I have done justice and righteousness:
Leave me not to mine oppressors.

122Be surety for thy servant for good:
Let not the proud oppress me.

123Mine eyes fail for thy salvation,
And for thy righteous word.

124Deal with thy servant according unto thy
lovingkindness,
And teach me thy statutes.

125I am thy servant; give me understanding,
That I may know thy testimonies.

126It is time for Jehovah to work;
[For] they have made void thy law.

127Therefore I love thy commandments
Above gold, yea, above fine gold.

128Therefore I esteem all [thy] precepts concerning all
[things] to be right;
[And] I hate every false way.

PE.

129Thy testimonies are wonderful;
Therefore doth my soul keep them.

130The opening of thy words giveth light;
It giveth understanding unto the simple.

131I opened wide my mouth, and panted;
For I longed for thy commandments.

132Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me,
As thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.

133Establish my footsteps in thy word;
And let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

134Redeem me from the oppression of man:
So will I observe thy precepts.

135Make thy face to shine upon thy servant;
And teach me thy statutes.

136Streams of water run down mine eyes,
Because they observe not thy law.

TSADHE.

137Righteous art thou, O Jehovah,
And upright are thy judgments.

138Thou hast commanded thy testimonies in righteousness
And very faithfulness.

139My zeal hath consumed me,
Because mine adversaries have forgotten thy words.

140Thy word is very pure;
Therefore thy servant loveth it.

141I am small and despised;
[Yet] do I not forget thy precepts.

142Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,
And thy law is truth.

143Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me;
[Yet] thy commandments are my delight.

144Thy testimonies are righteous for ever:
Give me understanding, and I shall live.

QOPH.

145I have called with my whole heart; answer me, O
Jehovah:
I will keep thy statutes.

146I have called unto thee; save me,
And I shall observe thy testimonies.

147I anticipated the dawning of the morning, and cried:
I hoped in thy words.

148Mine eyes anticipated the night-watches,
That I might meditate on thy word.

149Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness:
Quicken me, O Jehovah, according to thine ordinances.

150They draw nigh that follow after wickedness;
They are far from thy law.

151Thou art nigh, O Jehovah;
And all thy commandments are truth.

152Of old have I known from thy testimonies,
That thou hast founded them for ever.

RESH.

153Consider mine affliction, and deliver me;
For I do not forget thy law.

154Plead thou my cause, and redeem me:
Quicken me according to thy word.

155Salvation is far from the wicked;
For they seek not thy statutes.

156Great are thy tender mercies, O Jehovah:
Quicken me according to thine ordinances.

157Many are my persecutors and mine adversaries;
[Yet] have I not swerved from thy testimonies.

158I beheld the treacherous, and was grieved,
Because they observe not thy word.

159Consider how I love thy precepts:
Quicken me, O Jehovah, according to thy lovingkindness.

160The sum of thy word is truth;
And every one of thy righteous ordinances [endureth] for ever.

SHIN.

161Princes have persecuted me without a cause;
But my heart standeth in awe of thy words.

162I rejoice at thy word,
As one that findeth great spoil.

163I hate and abhor falsehood;
[But] thy law do I love.

164Seven times a day do I praise thee,
Because of thy righteous ordinances.

165Great peace have they that love thy law;
And they have no occasion of stumbling.

166I have hoped for thy salvation, O Jehovah,
And have done thy commandments.

167My soul hath observed thy testimonies;
And I love them exceedingly.

168I have observed thy precepts and thy testimonies;
For all my ways are before thee.

TAV.

169Let my cry come near before thee, O Jehovah:
Give me understanding according to thy word.

170Let my supplication come before thee:
Deliver me according to thy word.

171Let my lips utter praise;
For thou teachest me thy statutes.

172Let my tongue sing of thy word;
For all thy commandments are righteousness.

173Let thy hand be ready to help me;
For I have chosen thy precepts.

174I have longed for thy salvation, O Jehovah;
And thy law is my delight.

175Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee;
And let thine ordinances help me.

176I have gone astray like a lost sheep;
Seek thy servant;
For I do not forget thy commandments.

Psalms 120

1In my distress I cried unto Jehovah,
And he answered me.

2Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips,
[And] from a deceitful tongue.

3What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done
more unto thee,
Thou deceitful tongue?

4Sharp arrows of the mighty,
With coals of juniper.

5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech,
That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6My soul hath long had her dwelling
With him that hateth peace.

7I am [for] peace:
But when I speak, they are for war.

    Thank you for all your efforts to put bible together for all of us it’s make it easier whether in the church or not you still have Something to hold on to thank you once again

  2. George Calvin Says:

    David had experienced the enduring mercies of the Lord in his life. He had all to say the Lord is good and there is none like him in so far as lovingkindness is concerned. In my life too, God is incredibly good. For the past more than 50 years he led me through all the avenues o life where His mercy and grace abides in me that’s why just like David I also can not help it but express my thanksgiving to Him. Great is you name, Jesus the Lord and wonderful indeed is your love. It is only in you that I trust although oftentimes I seem to lack it. Help me oh God to follow David’s example.
