Salmos 119
Bible in Basic English
1Happy are they who are without sin in their ways, walking in the law of the Lord.
2Happy are they who keep his unchanging word, searching after him with all their heart.
3They do no evil; they go in his ways.
4You have put your orders into our hearts, so that we might keep them with care.
5If only my ways were ordered so that I might keep your rules!
6Then I would not be put to shame, as long as I have respect for all your teaching.
7I will give you praise with an upright heart in learning your right decisions.
8I will keep your rules: O give me not up completely.
9How may a young man make his way clean? by guiding it after your word.
10I have made search for you with all my heart: O let me not go wandering far from your teaching.
11I have kept your sayings secretly in my heart, so that I might do no sin against you.
12Praise be to you, O Lord: give me knowledge of your rules.
13With my lips have I made clear all the decisions of your mouth.
14I have taken as much delight in the way of your unchanging word, as in all wealth.
15I will give thought to your orders, and have respect for your ways.
16I will have delight in your rules; I will not let your word go out of my mind.
17Give me, your servant, the reward of life, so that I may keep your word;
18Let my eyes be open to see the wonders of your law.
19I am living in a strange land: do not let your teachings be kept secret from me.
20My soul is broken with desire for your decisions at all times.
21Your hand has been against the men of pride, a curse is on those who go wandering out of your way.
22Take away from me shame and bitter words; for I have kept your unchanging word in my heart.
23Rulers make evil designs against me; but your servant gives thought to your rules.
24Your unchanging word is my delight, and the guide of my footsteps.
25My soul is joined to the dust: O give me life, in keeping with your word.
26I put the record of my ways before you, and you gave me an answer: O give me knowledge of your rules.
27Make the way of your orders clear to me; then my thoughts will be ever on your wonders.
28My soul is wasted with sorrow; give me strength again in keeping with your word
29Take from me every false way; and in mercy give me your law.
30I have taken the way of faith: I have kept your decisions before me.
31I have been true to your unchanging word; O Lord, do not put me to shame.
32I will go quickly in the way of your teaching, because you have given me a free heart.
33O Lord, let me see the way of your rules, and I will keep it to the end.
34Give me wisdom, so that I may keep your law; going after it with all my heart.
35Make me go in the way of your teachings; for they are my delight.
36Let my heart be turned to your unchanging word, and not to evil desire.
37Let my eyes be turned away from what is false; give me life in your ways.
38Give effect to your word to your servant, in whose heart is the fear of you.
39Take away the shame which is my fear; for your decisions are good.
40See how great is my desire for your orders: give me life in your righteousness.
41Let your mercies come to me, O Lord, even your salvation, as you have said.
42So that I may have an answer for the man who would put me to shame; for I have faith in your word.
43Take not your true word quite out of my mouth; for I have put my hope in your decisions.
44So that I may keep your law for ever and ever;
45So that my way may be in a wide place: because my search has been for your orders.
46So that I may give knowledge of your unchanging word before kings, and not be put to shame.
47And so that I may take delight in your teachings, to which I have given my love.
48And so that my hands may be stretched out to you; and I will give thought to your rules.
49Keep in mind your word to your servant, for on it has my hope been fixed.
50This is my comfort in my trouble; that your sayings have given me life.
51The men of pride have made great sport of me; but I have not been turned from your law.
52I have kept the memory of your decisions from times past, O Lord; and they have been my comfort.
53I am burning with wrath, because of the sinners who have given up your law.
54Your rules have been melodies to me, while I have been living in strange lands.
55I have given thought to your name in the night, O Lord, and have kept your law.
56This has been true of me, that I have kept your orders in my heart.
57The Lord is my heritage: I have said that I would be ruled by your words.
58I have given my mind to do your pleasure with all my heart; have mercy on me, as you have said.
59I gave thought to my steps, and my feet were turned into the way of your unchanging word.
60I was quick to do your orders, and let no time be wasted.
61The cords of evil-doers are round me; but I have kept in mind your law.
62In the middle of the night I will get up to give you praise, because of all your right decisions.
63I keep company with all your worshippers, and those who have your orders in their memory.
64The earth, O Lord, is full of your mercy: give me knowledge of your rules.
65You have done good to your servant, O Lord, in keeping with your word.
66Give me knowledge and good sense; for I have put my faith in your teachings.
67Before I was in trouble I went out of the way; but now I keep your word.
68You are good, and your works are good; give me knowledge of your rules.
69The men of pride have said false things about me; but I will keep your orders in my heart.
70Their hearts are shut up with fat; but my delight is in your law.
71It is good for me to have been through trouble; so that I might come to the knowledge of your rules.
72The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver.
73Your hands have made me, and given me form: give me wisdom, so that I may have knowledge of your teaching.
74Your worshippers will see me and be glad; because my hope has been in your word.
75I have seen, O Lord, that your decisions are right, and that in unchanging faith you have sent trouble on me.
76Let your mercy now be my comfort, as you have said to your servant.
77Let your gentle mercies come to me, so that I may have life; for your law is my delight.
78Let the men of pride be shamed; because they have falsely given decision against me; but I will give thought to your orders.
79Let your worshippers be turned to me, and those who have knowledge of your words.
80Let all my heart be given to your orders, so that I may not be put to shame.
81My soul is wasted with desire for your salvation: but I have hope in your word.
82My eyes are full of weariness with searching for your word, saying, When will you give me comfort?
83For I have become like a wine-skin black with smoke; but I still keep the memory of your rules.
84How short is the life of your servant! when will you give your decision against those who are attacking me?
85The men of pride, who are turned away from your law, have put nets for me.
86All your teachings are certain; they go after me with evil design; give me your help.
87They had almost put an end to me on earth; but I did not give up your orders.
88Give me life in your mercy; so that I may be ruled by the unchanging word of your mouth.
89For ever, O Lord, your word is fixed in heaven.
90Your faith is unchanging from generation to generation: you have put the earth in its place, and it is not moved.
91They are ruled this day by your decisions; for all things are your servants.
92If your law had not been my delight, my troubles would have put an end to me.
93I will ever keep your orders in mind; for in them I have life.
94I am yours, O be my saviour; for my desire has been for your rules.
95The sinners have been waiting for me to give me up to destruction; but I will give all my mind to your unchanging ward.
96I have seen that nothing on earth is complete; but your teaching is very wide.
97O what love I have for your law! I give thought to it all the day.
98Your teaching has made me wiser than my haters: for it is mine for ever.
99I have more knowledge than all my teachers, because I give thought to your unchanging word.
100I have more wisdom than the old, because I have kept your orders.
101I have kept back my feet from all evil ways, so that I might be true to your word.
102My heart has not been turned away from your decisions; for you have been my teacher.
103How sweet are your sayings to my taste! truly, they are sweeter than honey in my mouth!
104Through your orders I get wisdom; for this reason I am a hater of every false way.
105Your word is a light for my feet, ever shining on my way.
106I have made an oath and kept it, to be guided by your upright decisions.
107I am greatly troubled, O Lord, give me life in keeping with your word.
108Take, O Lord, the free offerings of my mouth, and give me knowledge of your decisions.
109My soul is ever in danger; but I still keep the memory of your law.
110Sinners have put a net to take me; but I was true to your orders.
111I have taken your unchanging word as an eternal heritage; for it is the joy of my heart.
112My heart is ever ready to keep your rules, even to the end.
113I am a hater of men of doubting mind; but I am a lover of your law.
114You are my secret place and my breastplate against danger; my hope is in your word.
115Go far from me, you evil-doers; so that I may keep the teachings of my God.
116Be my support as you have said, and give me life; let not my hope be turned to shame.
117Let me not be moved, and I will be safe, and ever take delight in your rules.
118You have overcome all those who are wandering from your rules; for all their thoughts are false.
119All the sinners of the earth are like waste metal in your eyes; and for this cause I give my love to your unchanging word.
120My flesh is moved for fear of you; I give honour to your decisions.
121I have done what is good and right: you will not give me into the hands of those who are working against me.
122Take your servant's interests into your keeping; let me not be crushed by the men of pride.
123My eyes are wasted with desire for your salvation, and for the word of your righteousness.
124Be good to your servant in your mercy, and give me teaching in your rules.
125I am your servant; give me wisdom, so that I may have knowledge of your unchanging word.
126It is time, O Lord, for you to let your work be seen; for they have made your law without effect.
127For this reason I have greater love far your teachings than for gold, even for shining gold.
128Because of it I keep straight in all things by your orders; and I am a hater of every false way.
129Your unchanging word is full of wonder; for this reason my soul keeps it.
130The opening of your words gives light; it gives good sense to the simple.
131My mouth was open wide, waiting with great desire for your teachings.
132Let your eyes be turned to me, and have mercy on me, as it is right for you to do to those who are lovers of your name.
133Let my steps be guided by your word; and let not sin have control over me.
134Make me free from the cruel rule of man; then I will keep your orders.
135Let your servant see the shining of your face; give me knowledge of your rules.
136Rivers of water are flowing from my eyes, because men do not keep your law.
137O Lord, great is your righteousness, and upright are your decisions.
138You have given your unchanging word in righteousness, and it is for ever.
139My passion has overcome me; because my haters are turned away from your words.
140Your word is of tested value; and it is dear to your servant.
141I am small and of no account; but I keep your orders in mind.
142Your righteousness is an unchanging righteousness, and your law is certain.
143Pain and trouble have overcome me: but your teachings are my delight.
144The righteousness of your unchanging word is eternal; give me wisdom so that I may have life.
145I have made my prayer with all my heart; give answer to me, O Lord: I will keep your rules.
146My cry has gone up to you; take me out of trouble, and I will be guided by your unchanging word.
147Before the sun is up, my cry for help comes to your ear; my hope is in your words.
148In the night watches I am awake, so that I may give thought to your saying.
149Let my voice come to you, in your mercy; O Lord, by your decisions give me life.
150Those who have evil designs against me come near; they are far from your law.
151You are near, O Lord; and all your teachings are true.
152I have long had knowledge that your unchanging word is for ever.
153O see my trouble, and be my saviour; for I keep your law in my mind,
154Undertake my cause, and come to my help, give me life, as you have said.
155Salvation is far from evil-doers; for they have made no search for your rules.
156Great is the number of your mercies, O Lord; give me life in keeping with your decisions.
157Great is the number of those who are against me; but I have not been turned away from your unchanging word.
158I saw with hate those who were untrue to you; for they did not keep your saying.
159See how great is my love for your orders: give me life, O Lord, in keeping with your mercy.
160Your word is true from the first; and your upright decision is unchanging for ever.
161Rulers have been cruel to me without cause; but I have the fear of your word in my heart.
162I am delighted by your saying, like a man who makes discovery of great wealth.
163I am full of hate and disgust for false words; but I am a lover of your law.
164Seven times a day do I give you praise, because of your upright decisions.
165Great peace have lovers of your law; they have no cause for falling.
166Lord, my hope has been in your salvation; and I have kept your teachings.
167My soul has kept your unchanging word; great is my love for it.
168I have been ruled by your orders; for all my ways are before you.
169Let my cry come before you, O Lord; give me wisdom in keeping with your word.
170Let my prayer come before you; take me out of trouble, as you have said.
171Let my lips be flowing with praise, because you have given me knowledge of your rules.
172Let my tongue make songs in praise of your word; for all your teachings are righteousness.
173Let your hand be near for my help; for I have given my heart to your orders.
174All my desire has been for your salvation, O Lord; and your law is my delight.
175Give life to my soul so that it may give you praise; and let your decisions be my support.
176I have gone out of the way like a wandering sheep; make search for your servant; for I keep your teachings ever in mind.
Reina-Valera 1909
1ALEPH. BIENAVENTURADOS los perfectos de camino; los que andan en la ley de Jehová.
2Bienaventurados los que guardan sus testimonios, y con todo el corazón le buscan:
3Pues no hacen iniquidad los que andan en sus caminos.
4Tú encargaste que sean muy guardados tus mandamientos.
5¡Ojalá fuesen ordenados mis caminos á observar tus estatutos!
6Entonces no sería yo avergonzado, cuando atendiese á todos tus mandamientos.
7Te alabaré con rectitud de corazón, cuando aprendiere los juicios de tu justicia.
8Tus estatutos guardaré: no me dejes enteramente.
9BETH ¿Con qué limpiará el joven su camino? Con guardar tu palabra.
10Con todo mi corazón te he buscado: no me dejes divagar de tus mandamientos.
11En mi corazón he guardado tus dichos, para no pecar contra ti.
12Bendito tú, oh Jehová: enséñame tus estatutos.
13Con mis labios he contado todos los juicios de tu boca.
14Heme gozado en el camino de tus testimonios, como sobre toda riqueza.
15En tus mandamientos meditaré, consideraré tus caminos.
16Recrearéme en tus estatutos: no me olvidaré de tus palabras.
17GIMEL. Haz bien á tu siervo; que viva y guarde tu palabra.
18Abre mis ojos, y miraré las maravillas de tu ley.
19Advenedizo soy yo en la tierra: no encubras de mí tus mandamientos.
20Quebrantada está mi alma de desear tus juicios en todo tiempo.
21Destruiste á los soberbios malditos, que se desvían de tus mandamientos.
22Aparta de mí oprobio y menosprecio; porque tus testimonios he guardado.
23Príncipes también se sentaron y hablaron contra mí: mas tu siervo meditaba en tus estatutos.
24Pues tus testimonios son mis deleites, y mis consejeros.
25DALETH. Pegóse al polvo mi alma: vivifícame según tu palabra.
26Mis caminos te conté, y me has respondido: enséñame tus estatutos.
27Hazme entender el camino de tus mandamientos, y hablaré de tus maravillas.
28Deshácese mi alma de ansiedad: corrobórame según tu palabra.
29Aparta de mí camino de mentira; y hazme la gracia de tu ley.
30Escogí el camino de la verdad; he puesto tus juicios delante de mí.
31Allegádome he á tus testimonios; oh Jehová, no me avergüences.
32Por el camino de tus mandamientos correré, cuando ensanchares mi corazón.
33HE. Enséñame, oh Jehová, el camino de tus estatutos, y guardarélo hasta el fin.
34Dame entendimiento, y guardaré tu ley; y la observaré de todo corazón.
35Guíame por la senda de tus mandamientos; porque en ella tengo mi voluntad.
36Inclina mi corazón á tus testimonios, y no á la avaricia.
37Aparta mis ojos, que no vean la vanidad; avívame en tu camino.
38Confirma tu palabra á tu siervo, que te teme.
39Quita de mí el oprobio que he temido: porque buenos son tus juicios.
40He aquí yo he codiciado tus mandamientos: vivifícame en tu justicia.
41VAU. Y venga á mí tu misericordia, oh Jehová; tu salud, conforme á tu dicho.
42Y daré por respuesta á mi avergonzador, que en tu palabra he confiado.
43Y no quites de mi boca en ningún tiempo la palabra de verdad; porque á tu juicio espero.
44Y guardaré tu ley siempre, por siglo de siglo.
45Y andaré en anchura, porque busqué tus mandamientos.
46Y hablaré de tus testimonios delante de los reyes, y no me avergonzaré.
47Y deleitaréme en tus mandamientos, que he amado.
48Alzaré asimismo mis manos á tus mandamientos, que amé; y meditaré en tus estatutos.
49ZAIN. Acuérdate de la palabra dada á tu siervo, en la cual me has hecho esperar.
50Esta es mi consuelo en mi aflicción: porque tu dicho me ha vivificado.
51Los soberbios se burlaron mucho de mí: mas no me he apartado de tu ley.
52Acordéme, oh Jehová, de tus juicios antiguos, y consoléme.
53Horror se apoderó de mí, á causa de los impíos que dejan tu ley.
54Cánticos me fueron tus estatutos en la mansión de mis peregrinaciones.
55Acordéme en la noche de tu nombre, oh Jehová, y guardé tu ley.
56Esto tuve, porque guardaba tus mandamientos.
57CHETH. Mi porción, oh Jehová, dije, será guardar tus palabras.
58Tu presencia supliqué de todo corazón: ten misericordia de mí según tu palabra.
59Consideré mis caminos, y torné mis pies á tus testimonios.
60Apresuréme, y no me retardé en guardar tus mandamientos.
61Compañías de impíos me han robado: mas no me he olvidado de tu ley.
62A media noche me levantaba á alabarte sobre los juicios de tu justicia.
63Compañero soy yo de todos los que te temieren y guardaren tus mandamientos.
64De tu misericordia, oh Jehová, está llena la tierra: enséñame tus estatutos.
65TETH. Bien has hecho con tu siervo, oh Jehová, conforme á tu palabra.
66Enséñame bondad de sentido y sabiduría; porque tus mandamientos he creído.
67Antes que fuera yo humillado, descarriado andaba; mas ahora guardo tu palabra.
68Bueno eres tú, y bienhechor: enséñame tus estatutos.
69Contra mí forjaron mentira los soberbios: mas yo guardaré de todo corazón tus mandamientos.
70Engrasóse el corazón de ellos como sebo; mas yo en tu ley me he deleitado.
71Bueno me es haber sido humillado, para que aprenda tus estatutos.
72Mejor me es la ley de tu boca, que millares de oro y plata.
73JOD. Tus manos me hicieron y me formaron: hazme entender, y aprenderé tus mandamientos.
74Los que te temen, me verán, y se alegrarán; porque en tu palabra he esperado.
75Conozco, oh Jehová, que tus juicios son justicia, y que conforme á tu fidelidad me afligiste.
76Sea ahora tu misericordia para consolarme, conforme á lo que has dicho á tu siervo.
77Vengan á mí tus misericordias, y viva; porque tu ley es mi deleite.
78Sean avergonzados los soberbios, porque sin causa me han calumniado: yo empero, meditaré en tus mandamientos.
79Tórnense á mí los que te temen y conocen tus testimonios.
80Sea mi corazón íntegro en tus estatutos; porque no sea yo avergonzado.
81CAPH. Desfallece mi alma por tu salud, esperando en tu palabra.
82Desfallecieron mis ojos por tu palabra, diciendo: ¿Cuándo me consolarás?
83Porque estoy como el odre al humo; mas no he olvidado tus estatutos.
84¿Cuántos son los días de tu siervo? ¿cuándo harás juicio contra los que me persiguen?
85Los soberbios me han cavado hoyos; mas no obran según tu ley.
86Todos tus mandamientos son verdad: sin causa me persiguen; ayúdame.
87Casi me han echado por tierra: mas yo no he dejado tus mandamientos.
88Vivifícame conforme á tu misericordia; y guardaré los testimonios de tu boca.
89LAMED. Para siempre, oh Jehová, permanece tu palabra en los cielos.
90Por generación y generación es tu verdad: tú afirmaste la tierra, y persevera.
91Por tu ordenación perseveran hasta hoy las cosas criadas; porque todas ellas te sirven.
92Si tu ley no hubiese sido mis delicias, ya en mi aflicción hubiera perecido.
93Nunca jamás me olvidaré de tus mandamientos; porque con ellos me has vivificado.
94Tuyo soy yo, guárdame; porque he buscado tus mandamientos.
95Los impíos me han aguardado para destruirme: mas yo entenderé en tus testimonios.
96A toda perfección he visto fin: ancho sobremanera es tu mandamiento.
97MEM ¡Cuánto amo yo tu ley! todo el día es ella mi meditación.
98Me has hecho más sabio que mis enemigos con tus mandamientos; porque me son eternos.
99Más que todos mis enseñadores he entendido: porque tus testimonios son mi meditación.
100Más que los viejos he entendido, porque he guardado tus mandamientos.
101De todo mal camino contuve mis pies, para guardar tu palabra.
102No me aparté de tus juicios; porque tú me enseñaste.
103¡Cuán dulces son á mi paladar tus palabras! más que la miel á mi boca.
104De tus mandamientos he adquirido inteligencia: por tanto he aborrecido todo camino de mentira.
105NUN. Lámpara es á mis pies tu palabra, y lumbrera á mi camino.
106Juré y ratifiqué el guardar los juicios de tu justicia.
107Afligido estoy en gran manera: oh Jehová, vivifícame conforme á tu palabra.
108Ruégote, oh Jehová, te sean agradables los sacrificios voluntarios de mi boca; y enséñame tus juicios.
109De continuo está mi alma en mi mano: mas no me he olvidado de tu ley.
110Pusiéronme lazo los impíos: empero yo no me desvié de tus mandamientos.
111Por heredad he tomado tus testimonios para siempre; porque son el gozo de mi corazón.
112Mi corazón incliné á poner por obra tus estatutos de continuo, hasta el fin.
113SAMECH. Los pensamientos vanos aborrezco; mas amo tu ley.
114Mi escondedero y mi escudo eres tú: en tu palabra he esperado.
115Apartaos de mí, malignos; pues yo guardaré los mandamientos de mi Dios.
116Susténtame conforme á tu palabra, y viviré: y no me avergüences de mi esperanza.
117Sostenme, y seré salvo; y deleitaréme siempre en tus estatutos.
118Hollaste á todos los que se desvían de tus estatutos: porque mentira es su engaño.
119Como escorias hiciste consumir á todos los impíos de la tierra: por tanto yo he amado tus testimonios.
120Mi carne se ha extremecido por temor de ti; y de tus juicios tengo miedo.
121AIN. Juicio y justicia he hecho; no me dejes á mis opresores.
122Responde por tu siervo para bien: no me hagan violencia los soberbios.
123Mis ojos desfallecieron por tu salud, y por el dicho de tu justicia.
124Haz con tu siervo según tu misericordia, y enséñame tus estatutos.
125Tu siervo soy yo, dame entendimiento; para que sepa tus testimonios.
126Tiempo es de hacer, oh Jehová; disipado han tu ley.
127Por eso he amado tus mandamientos más que el oro, y más que oro muy puro.
128Por eso todos los mandamientos de todas las cosas estimé rectos: aborrecí todo camino de mentira.
129PE. Maravillosos son tus testimonios: por tanto los ha guardado mi alma.
130El principio de tus palabras alumbra; hace entender á los simples.
131Mi boca abrí y suspiré; porque deseaba tus mandamientos.
132Mírame, y ten misericordia de mí, como acostumbras con los que aman tu nombre.
133Ordena mis pasos con tu palabra; y ninguna iniquidad se enseñoree de mí.
134Redímeme de la violencia de los hombres; y guardaré tus mandamientos.
135Haz que tu rostro resplandezca sobre tu siervo; y enséñame tus estatutos.
136Ríos de agua descendieron de mis ojos, porque no guardaban tu ley.
137TZADDI. Justo eres tú, oh Jehová, y rectos tus juicios.
138Tus testimonios, que has recomendado, son rectos y muy fieles.
139Mi celo me ha consumido; porque mis enemigos se olvidaron de tus palabras.
140Sumamente acendrada es tu palabra; y la ama tu siervo.
141Pequeño soy yo y desechado; mas no me he olvidado de tus mandamientos.
142Tu justicia es justicia eterna, y tu ley la verdad.
143Aflicción y angustia me hallaron: mas tus mandamientos fueron mis deleites.
144Justicia eterna son tus testimonios; dame entendimiento, y viviré.
145COPH. Clamé con todo mi corazón; respóndeme, Jehová, y guardaré tus estatutos.
146A ti clamé; sálvame, y guardaré tus testimonios.
147Anticipéme al alba, y clamé: esperé en tu palabra.
148Previnieron mis ojos las vigilias de la noche, para meditar en tus dichos.
149Oye mi voz conforme á tu misericordia; oh Jehová, vivifícame conforme á tu juicio.
150Acercáronse á la maldad los que me persiguen; alejáronse de tu ley.
151Cercano estás tú, oh Jehová; y todos tus mandamientos son verdad.
152Ya ha mucho que he entendido de tus mandamientos, que para siempre los fundaste.
153RESH. Mira mi aflicción, y líbrame; porque de tu ley no me he olvidado.
154Aboga mi causa, y redímeme: vivifícame con tu dicho.
155Lejos está de los impíos la salud; porque no buscan tus estatutos.
156Muchas son tus misericordias, oh Jehová: vivifícame conforme á tus juicios.
157Muchos son mis perseguidores y mis enemigos; mas de tus testimonios no me he apartado.
158Veía á los prevaricadores, y carcomíame; porque no guardaban tus palabras.
159Mira, oh Jehová, que amo tus mandamientos: vivifícame conforme á tu misericordia.
160El principio de tu palabra es verdad; y eterno es todo juicio de tu justicia.
161SIN. Príncipes me han perseguido sin causa; mas mi corazón tuvo temor de tus palabras.
162Gózome yo en tu palabra, como el que halla muchos despojos.
163La mentira aborrezco y abomino: tu ley amo.
164Siete veces al día te alabo sobre los juicios de tu justicia.
165Mucha paz tienen los que aman tu ley; y no hay para ellos tropiezo.

171Mis labios rebosarán alabanza, cuando me enseñares tus estatutos.
172Hablará mi lengua tus dichos; porque todos tus mandamientos son justicia.
173Sea tu mano en mi socorro; porque tus mandamientos he escogido.
174Deseado he tu salud, oh Jehová; y tu ley es mi delicia.
175Viva mi alma y alábete; y tus juicios me ayuden.
176Yo anduve errante como oveja extraviada; busca á tu siervo; porque no me he olvidado de tus mandamientos.
