Psalms 1:1-3

The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked

1 Blessed is the man ^{▼▼The singular Hebrew word for man (ish) is used here to portray a representative example of a godly person; see Preface}
who ^mwalks not in ⁿthe counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in ^othe way of sinners,
nor ^psits in ^qthe seat of ^rscoffers;
2 but his ^sdelight is in the law ^{▼▼Or instruction} of the Lord,
and on his ^ulaw he meditates day and night.
3 He is like ^va tree
planted by ^wstreams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its ^xleaf does not wither.
^yIn all that he does, he prospers.

Psalms 19:7-11

7 ^zThe law of the Lord is perfect, ^{▼▼Or blameless}
^abreviving the soul;
^acthe testimony of the Lord is ^adsure,
^aemaking wise ^afthe simple;
8 ^agthe precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is ^ahpure,
^aienlightening the eyes;
9 the fear of the Lord is clean,
enduring forever;
the rules ^{▼▼Or just decrees} of the Lord are ^aktrue,
and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than ^algold,
even much ^amfine gold;
^answeeter also than honey
and drippings of ^aothe honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
^apin keeping them there is great reward.

Psalms 78:4-8

4 We will not ^aqhide them from their children,
but ^artell to the coming generation
the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might,
and ^asthe wonders that he has done.
5 He established ^ata testimony in ^auJacob
and appointed a law in ^avIsrael,
which he commanded our fathers
to teach to their children,
6 that ^awthe next generation might know them,
the children yet unborn,
and arise and tell them to their children,
7 so that they should set their hope in God
and not forget ^axthe works of God,
but ^aykeep his commandments;
8 and that they should not be ^azlike their fathers,
^baa stubborn and rebellious generation,
a generation ^bbwhose heart was not steadfast,
whose spirit was not faithful to God.

Psalms 119:11

11 I have ^bcstored up your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against you.

Psalms 119:97-105

Mem

97 Oh how ^bdI love your law!
It is my ^bemeditation all the day.
98 Your commandment makes me ^bfwiser than my enemies,
for it is ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers,
for ^bgyour testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understand more than ^bhthe aged, ^{▼▼Or the elders}
for I ^bjkeep your precepts.
101 I ^bkhold back my feet from every evil way,
in order to keep your word.
102 I do not turn aside from your rules,
for you have taught me.
103 How ^blsweet are your words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through your precepts I get understanding;
therefore ^bmI hate every false way.

Nun

105 ^bnYour word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.
