THE TREASURY OF DAVID by Charles H. Spurgeon
Psalm 119
Psa 119:1
ALEPH. Blessed are
the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.
Psa 119:2
Blessed are
they that keep his testimonies, and
that seek him with the whole heart.
Psa 119:3
They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
Psa 119:4
Thou hast commanded us
to keep thy precepts diligently.
Psa 119:5
O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
Psa 119:6
Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy
commandments.
Psa 119:7
I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have
learned thy righteous judgments.
Psa 119:8
I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
Psa 119:9
BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto
according to thy word.
Psa 119:10
With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy
commandments.
Psa 119:11
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Psa 119:12
Blessed art
thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.
Psa 119:13
With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
Psa 119:14
I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much
as in all riches.
Psa 119:15
I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
Psa 119:16
I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
Psa 119:17
GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, that
I may live, and keep thy word.
Psa 119:18
Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
Psa 119:19
I am
a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
Psa 119:20
My soul breaketh for the longing that
it hath unto thy judgments at all times.
Psa 119:21
Thou hast rebuked the proud that
are cursed, which do err from thy
commandments.
Psa 119:22
Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.
Psa 119:23
Princes also did sit and
speak against me: but
thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.
Psa 119:24
Thy testimonies also are
my delight and
my counsellors.
Psa 119:25
DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to
thy word.
Psa 119:26
I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.
Psa 119:27
Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy
wondrous works.
Psa 119:28
My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy
word.
Psa 119:29
Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.
Psa 119:30
I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before
me.
Psa 119:31
I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.
Psa 119:32
I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my
heart.
Psa 119:33
HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto
the end.
Psa 119:34
Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe
it with my
whole heart.
Psa 119:35
Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I
delight.
Psa 119:36
Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
Psa 119:37
Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and
quicken thou me in thy way.
Psa 119:38
Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is
devoted to thy fear.
Psa 119:39
Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are
good.
Psa 119:40
Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy
righteousness.
Psa 119:41
VAU. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even
thy salvation, according to thy word.
Psa 119:42
So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I
trust in thy word.
Psa 119:43
And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have
hoped in thy judgments.
Psa 119:44
So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.
Psa 119:45
And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
Psa 119:46
I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be
ashamed.
Psa 119:47
And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.
Psa 119:48
My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have
loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.
Psa 119:49
ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused
me to hope.
Psa 119:50
This is
my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.
Psa 119:51
The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet
have I not declined from thy law.
Psa 119:52
I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.
Psa 119:53
Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy
law.
Psa 119:54
Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
Psa 119:55
I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy
law.
Psa 119:56
This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
Psa 119:57
CHETH. Thou art
my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.
Psa 119:58
I intreated thy favour with my
whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.
Psa 119:59
I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
Psa 119:60
I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.
Psa 119:61
The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but
I have not forgotten thy law.
Psa 119:62
At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy
righteous judgments.
Psa 119:63
I am
a companion of all them
that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
Psa 119:64
The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
Psa 119:65
TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto
thy word.
Psa 119:66
Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy
commandments.
Psa 119:67
Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.
Psa 119:68
Thou art
good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
Psa 119:69
The proud have forged a lie against me: but
I will keep thy precepts with my
whole heart.
Psa 119:70
Their heart is as fat as grease; but
I delight in thy law.
Psa 119:71
It is
good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy
statutes.
Psa 119:72
The law of thy mouth is
better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
Psa 119:73
JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding,
that I may learn thy commandments.
Psa 119:74
They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have
hoped in thy word.
Psa 119:75
I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are
right, and that
thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
Psa 119:76
Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according
to thy word unto thy servant.
Psa 119:77
Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is
my delight.
Psa 119:78
Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a
cause: but
I will meditate in thy precepts.
Psa 119:79
Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy
testimonies.
Psa 119:80
Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.
Psa 119:81
CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but
I hope in thy word.
Psa 119:82
Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
Psa 119:83
For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet
do I not forget thy statutes.
Psa 119:84
How many are
the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that
persecute me?
Psa 119:85
The proud have digged pits for me, which are
not after thy law.
Psa 119:86
All thy commandments are
faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
Psa 119:87
They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy
precepts.
Psa 119:88
Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of
thy mouth.
Psa 119:89
LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
Psa 119:90
Thy faithfulness is
unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
Psa 119:91
They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are
thy servants.
Psa 119:92
Unless thy law had been
my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
Psa 119:93
I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened
me.
Psa 119:94
I am
thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.
Psa 119:95
The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but
I will consider thy testimonies.
Psa 119:96
I have seen an end of all perfection: but
thy commandment is
exceeding broad.
Psa 119:97
MEM. O how love I thy law! it is
my meditation all the day.
Psa 119:98
Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies:
for they are
ever with me.
Psa 119:99
I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are
my meditation.
Psa 119:100
I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
Psa 119:101
I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy
word.
Psa 119:102
I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
Psa 119:103
How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea,
sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Psa 119:104
Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false
way.
Psa 119:105
NUN. Thy word is
a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Psa 119:106
I have sworn, and I will perform it,
that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
Psa 119:107
I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.
Psa 119:108
Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD,
and teach me thy judgments.
Psa 119:109
My soul is
continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.
Psa 119:110
The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy
precepts.
Psa 119:111
Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are
the rejoicing of my heart.
Psa 119:112
I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even
unto the end.
Psa 119:113
SAMECH. I hate vain
thoughts: but thy law do I love.
Psa 119:114
Thou art
my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
Psa 119:115
Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my
God.
Psa 119:116
Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be
ashamed of my hope.
Psa 119:117
Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy
statutes continually.
Psa 119:118
Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their
deceit is
falsehood.
Psa 119:119
Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like
dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.
Psa 119:120
My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
Psa 119:121
AIN. I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine
oppressors.
Psa 119:122
Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.
Psa 119:123
Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy
righteousness.
Psa 119:124
Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy
statutes.
Psa 119:125
I am
thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.
Psa 119:126
It is
time for thee,
LORD, to work: for
they have made void thy law.
Psa 119:127
Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.
Psa 119:128
Therefore I esteem all thy
precepts concerning
all things to be
right; and
I hate every false way.
Psa 119:129
PE. Thy testimonies are
wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
Psa 119:130
The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto
the simple.
Psa 119:131
I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
Psa 119:132
Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto
those that love thy name.
Psa 119:133
Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion
over me.
Psa 119:134
Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
Psa 119:135
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
Psa 119:136
Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.
Psa 119:137
TZADDI. Righteous art
thou, O LORD, and upright are
thy judgments.
Psa 119:138
Thy testimonies that
thou hast commanded are
righteous and very faithful.
Psa 119:139
My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy
words.
Psa 119:140
Thy word is
very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
Psa 119:141
I am
small and despised: yet
do not I forget thy precepts.
Psa 119:142
Thy righteousness is
an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is
the truth.
Psa 119:143
Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet
thy commandments are
my delights.
Psa 119:144
The righteousness of thy testimonies is
everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.
Psa 119:145
KOPH. I cried with my
whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes.
Psa 119:146
I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.
Psa 119:147
I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy
word.
Psa 119:148
Mine eyes prevent the night
watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
Psa 119:149
Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me
according to thy judgment.
Psa 119:150
They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
Psa 119:151
Thou art
near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are
truth.
Psa 119:152
Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded
them for ever.
Psa 119:153
RESH. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget
thy law.
Psa 119:154
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 according to thy judgments.

Many are
my persecutors and mine enemies; yet

I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy
word.
Psa 119:159
Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy
lovingkindness.
Psa 119:160
Thy word is
true from
the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth
for ever.
Psa 119:161
SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart
standeth in awe of thy word.
Psa 119:162
I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
Psa 119:163
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.
Psa 119:166
LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.
Psa 119:167
My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
Psa 119:168
I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are
before thee.

TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding
according to thy word.
Psa 119:170
Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy
word.

righteousness.

my delight.
