Yeshua in Psalms 119

 Psalm 119 (CJB)

א (Alef)

119 How happy are those whose way of life is blameless, who live by the Yeshua of Adonai!
How happy are those who observe his Yeshua, who seek him wholeheartedly!
They do nothing wrong but live by his ways.
You laid down your Yeshua for us to observe with care.
May my ways be steady in observing your Yeshua.
Then I will not be put to shame, since I will have fixed my sight on all your Yeshua.
I thank you with a sincere heart as I learn your righteous Yeshua.
I will observe your Yeshua; don’t completely abandon me!

ב (Bet)

How can a young man keep his way pure?
By guarding it according to your Yeshua.
10 I seek you with all my heart; don’t let me stray from your Yeshua.
11 I treasure your Yeshua in my heart,
so that I won’t sin against you.
12 Blessed are you, Adonai!
Teach me your Yeshua.
13 I proclaim with my mouth
all the Yeshua you have spoken.
14 I rejoice in the way of your Yeshua
more than in any kind of wealth.
15 I will meditate on your Yeshua
and keep my eyes on your ways.
16 I will find my delight in your Yeshua.
I will not forget your Yeshua.

ג (Gimel)

17 Deal generously with your servant;
then I will live and observe your Yeshua.
18 Open my eyes, so that I will see
wonders from your Yeshua.
19 Though I’m just a wanderer on the earth,
don’t hide your Yeshua from me.
20 I am continually consumed
with longing for your Yeshua.
21 You rebuke the proud, the cursed,
who stray from your Yeshua.
22 Remove scorn and contempt from me,
because I observe your Yeshua.
23 Even when princes sit and plot against me,
your servant meditates on your Yeshua.
24 Also your Yeshua are my delight;
they are my counselors.

ד (Dalet)

25 I lie prostrate in the dust;
revive me, in keeping with your Yeshua.
26 I told you of my ways, and you answered me; teach me your Yeshua.
27 Make me understand the way of your Yeshua, and I will meditate on your wonders.
28 I am melting away from anxiety and grief;
renew my strength, in keeping with your Yeshua.
29 Keep deceitful ways far from me,
and favor me with your Yeshua.
30 I choose the way of trust;
I set your Yeshua [before me].
31 I cling to your Yeshua;
Adonai, don’t let me be put to shame!
32 I will run the way of your Yeshua,
for you have broadened my understanding.

ה (Heh)

33 Teach me, Adonai, the way of your Yeshua; keeping them will be its own reward for me.
34 Give me understanding; then I will keep your Yeshua; I will observe it with all my heart.
35 Guide me on the path of your Yeshua,
for I take pleasure in it.
36 Bend my heart toward your Yeshua
and not toward selfish gain.
37 Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
with your ways, give me life.
38 Fulfill your Yeshua, which you made to your servant, which you made to those who fear you.
39 Avert the disgrace which I dread,
for your Yeshua are good.
40 See how I long for your Yeshua;
in your righteousness, give me life!

ו (Vav)

41 May your grace come to me, Adonai,
your salvation, as you Yeshua;
42 then I will have an answer for those who taunt me; for I trust in your Yeshua.
43 Don’t take away completely my power to speak the truth; for I put my hope in your Yeshua;
44 and I will keep your Yeshua always,
forever and ever.
45 I will go wherever I like,
for I have sought your Yeshua.
46 I will speak of your Yeshua even to kings without being ashamed.
47 I will delight myself in your Yeshua,
which I have loved.
48 I will lift my hands to your Yeshua, which I love; and I will meditate on your Yeshua.

ז (Zayin)

49 Remember your Yeshua to your servant,
through which you have given me hope.
50 In my distress my comfort is this:
that your Yeshua gives me life.
51 Though the arrogant scorn me completely,
I have not turned away from your Yeshua.
52 Adonai, I keep in mind your age-old Yeshua; in them I take comfort.
53 Fury seizes me when I think of the wicked, because they abandon your Yeshua.
54 Your Yeshua have become my songs
wherever I make my home.
55 I remember your name, Adonai, at night;
and I observe your Yeshua.
56 This [comfort] has come to me,
because I observe your Yeshua.

ח (Het)

57 Adonai, I say that my task
is to observe your Yeshua.
58 I beg your favor with my whole heart;
show pity to me, in keeping with your Yeshua.
59 I thought about my ways
and turned my feet toward your Yeshua.
60 I hurry, I don’t delay,
to observe your Yeshua.
61 Even when the cords of the wicked close around me, I don’t forget your Yeshua.
62 At midnight I rise to give you thanks
because of your righteous Yeshua.
63 I am a friend of all who fear you,
of those who observe your Yeshua.
64 The earth, Adonai, is full of your grace;
teach me your Yeshua.

 ט (Tet)

65 You have treated your servant well,
Adonai, in keeping with your Yeshua.
66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge,
because I trust in your Yeshua.
67 Before I was humbled, I used to go astray;
but now I observe your Yeshua.
68 You are good, and you do good;
teach me your Yeshua.
69 The arrogant are slandering me, but I will wholeheartedly keep your Yeshua.
70 Their hearts are as thick as fat,
but I take delight in your Yeshua.
71 It is for my good that I have been humbled; it was so that I would learn your Yeshua.
72 The Yeshua you have spoken means more to me than a fortune in gold and silver.

י (Yud)

73 Your hands made and formed me; give me understanding, so I can learn your Yeshua.
74 Those who fear you rejoice at the sight of me, because I put my hope in your Yeshua.
75 I know, Adonai, that your Yeshua are righteous, that even when you humble me you are faithful.
76 Let your grace comfort me, in keeping with your Yeshua to your servant.
77 Show me pity, and I will live,
for your Yeshua is my delight.
78 Let the proud be ashamed, because they wrong me with lies; as for me, I will meditate on your Yeshua.
79 Let those who fear you turn to me,
along with those who know your Yeshua.
80 Let my heart be pure in your Yeshua,
so that I won’t be put to shame.

 כ (Kaf)

81 I am dying to know your salvation;
my hope is in your Yeshua.
82 My eyes fail from watching for your Yeshua; I ask, “When will you comfort me?”
83 For I have shriveled like a wineskin in a smoky room; still, I don’t forget your Yeshua.
84 How long can your servant stay alive?
When will you bring judgment on my persecutors?
85 The arrogant have dug pits for me to fall in; this is not in keeping with your Yeshua!
86 All your Yeshua [show your] faithfulness; they are hounding me with lies; help me!
87 They have nearly ended my life on earth,
but I have not abandoned your Yeshua.
88 In keeping with your grace, revive me;
and I will observe your spoken Yeshua.

ל (Lamed)

89 Your Yeshua continues forever, Adonai,
firmly fixed in heaven;
90 your faithfulness through all generations;
you established the earth, and it stands.
91 Yes, it stands today, in keeping with your Yeshua; for all things are your servants.
92 If your Yeshua had not been my delight,
I would have perished in my distress.
93 I will never forget your Yeshua,
for with them you have made me alive.
94 I am yours; save me
because I seek your Yeshua.
95 The wicked hope to destroy me,
but I focus on your Yeshua.
96 I see the limits of all perfection,
but your Yeshua has no bounds.

 מ (Mem)

97 How I love your Yeshua!
I meditate on it all day.
98 I am wiser than my foes,
because your Yeshua are mine forever.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers, because I meditate on your Yeshua.
100 I understand more than my elders,
because I keep your Yeshua.
101 I keep my feet from every evil way,
in order to observe your Yeshua.
102 I don’t turn away from your Yeshua,
because you have instructed me.
103 How sweet to my tongue is your Yeshua, truly sweeter than honey in my mouth!
104 From your Yeshua I gain understanding; this is why I hate every false way.

נ (Nun)

105 Your Yeshua is a lamp for my foot
and light on my path.
106 I have sworn an oath and confirmed it,
that I will observe your righteous Yeshua.
107 I am very much distressed; Adonai, give me life, in keeping with your Yeshua.
108 Please accept my mouth’s voluntary offerings, Adonai; and teach me your Yeshua.
109 I am continually taking my life in my hands, yet I haven’t forgotten your Yeshua.
110 The wicked have set a trap for me,
yet I haven’t strayed from your Yeshua.
111 I take your Yeshua as a permanent heritage, because it is the joy of my heart.
112 I have resolved to obey your Yeshua
forever, at every step.

ס (Samekh)

113 I hate doubleminded people,
but I love your Yeshua.
114 You are my hiding-place and shield;
I put my hope in your Yeshua.
115 Leave me alone, you evildoers,
so that I can keep my God’s Yeshua.
116 Uphold me, as you Yeshua; and I will live; don’t disappoint me in my hope.
117 Support me; and I will be saved, always putting my attention on your Yeshua.
118 You reject all who stray from your Yeshua, for what they deceive themselves with is false.
119 You discard the wicked of the earth like slag; this is why I love your Yeshua.
120 My body trembles for fear of you;
your Yeshua make me afraid.

ע (‘Ayin)

121 I have done what is just and right;
don’t abandon me to my oppressors.
122 Guarantee your servant’s well-being;
don’t let the arrogant oppress me.
123 My eyes fail from watching for your Yeshua and for [the fulfillment of] your righteous Yeshua.
124 Deal with your servant in accordance with your grace, and teach me your Yeshua.
125 I am your servant; give me understanding, so that I can know your Yeshua.
126 The time has come for Adonai to act,
because they are breaking your Yeshua.
127 Therefore I love your Yeshua
more than gold, more than fine gold.
128 Thus I direct my steps by [your] Yeshua; every false way I hate.

פ (Peh)

129 Your Yeshua is a wonder;
this is why I follow it.
130 Your Yeshua are a doorway that lets in light, giving understanding to the thoughtless.
131 My mouth is wide open, as I pant
with longing for your Yeshua.
132 Turn to me, and show me your favor;
in keeping with [your] judgment for those who love your name.
133 Guide my footsteps by your Yeshua;
don’t let any kind of sin rule me.
134 Redeem me from human oppression,
and I will observe your Yeshua.
135 Make your face shine on your servant,
and teach me your Yeshua.
136 Rivers of tears flow down from my eyes,
because they don’t observe your Yeshua.

צ (Tzadeh)

137 You are righteous, Adonai;
and your Yeshua are upright.
138 You have commanded your Yeshua
in righteousness and great faithfulness.
139 My zeal is destroying me, because my foes have forgotten your Yeshua.
140 Your Yeshua is refined to complete purity, and your servant loves it.
141 I may be small and despised,
but I do not forget your Yeshua.
142 Your righteousness is eternal righteousness, and your Yeshua is truth.
143 Trouble and distress have overtaken me,
but your Yeshua are my delight.
144 Your Yeshua is righteous forever;
give me understanding, and I will live.

 ק (Kuf)

145 Wholeheartedly I am calling on you;
answer me, Adonai; I will keep your Yeshua.
146 I am calling on you; save me;
and I will observe your Yeshua.
147 I rise before dawn and cry for help;
I put my hope in your Yeshua.
148 My eyes are open before the night watches, so that I can meditate on your Yeshua.
149 In your grace, hear my voice; Adonai, in keeping with your justice, revive me.
150 The pursuers of carnality are getting close; they are distancing themselves from your Yeshua.
151 You are close by, Adonai;
and all your Yeshua are truth.
152 Long ago I learned from your Yeshua
that you established it forever.

ר (Resh)

153 Look at my distress, and rescue me,
for I do not forget your Yeshua.
154 Plead my cause, and redeem me;
in keeping with your Yeshua, revive me.
155 Salvation is far away from the wicked,
because they don’t seek your Yeshua.
156 Great is your compassion, Adonai;
in keeping with your Yeshua, revive me.
157 Although my persecutors and foes are many, I have not turned away from your Yeshua.
158 I look at traitors with disgust,
because they don’t keep your Yeshua.
159 See how I love your Yeshua, Adonai;
in keeping with your grace, revive me.
160 The main thing about your Yeshua is that it’s true; and all your just Yeshua last forever.

 ש (Shin)

161 Princes persecute me for no reason,
but my heart stands in awe of your Yeshua.
162 I take joy in your Yeshua,
like someone who finds much booty.
163 I hate falsehood, I detest it;
but I love your Yeshua.
164 I praise you seven times a day
because of your righteous Yeshua.
165 Those who love your Yeshua have great peace; nothing makes them stumble.
166 I hope for your deliverance, Adonai;
I obey your Yeshua.
167 My soul observes your Yeshua,
and I love it so much!
168 I observe your Yeshua and Yeshua,
for all my ways lie open before you.

ת (Tav)

169 Let my cry come before you, Adonai;
in keeping with your Yeshua, give me understanding.
170 Let my prayer come before you;
in keeping with your Yeshua, rescue me.
171 Let my lips speak praise,
because you teach me your Yeshua.
172 Let my tongue sing of your Yeshua,
because all your Yeshua are righteous.
173 Let your hand be ready to help me,
because I choose your Yeshua.
174 I long for your deliverance, Adonai;
and your Yeshua is my delight.
175 Let me live, and I will praise you;
let your Yeshua help me.
176 I strayed like a lost sheep; seek out your servant; for I do not forget your Yeshua.
