נ Nun

105 Your word is a lamp(A) for my feet,
    a light(B) on my path.
106 I have taken an oath(C) and confirmed it,
    that I will follow your righteous laws.(D)
107 I have suffered much;
    preserve my life,(E) Lord, according to your word.
108 Accept, Lord, the willing praise of my mouth,(F)
    and teach me your laws.(G)
109 Though I constantly take my life in my hands,(H)
    I will not forget(I) your law.
110 The wicked have set a snare(J) for me,
    but I have not strayed(K) from your precepts.
111 Your statutes are my heritage forever;
    they are the joy of my heart.(L)
112 My heart is set(M) on keeping your decrees
    to the very end.[a](N)

ס Samekh

113 I hate double-minded people,(O)
    but I love your law.(P)
114 You are my refuge and my shield;(Q)
    I have put my hope(R) in your word.
115 Away from me,(S) you evildoers,
    that I may keep the commands of my God!
116 Sustain me,(T) my God, according to your promise,(U) and I will live;
    do not let my hopes be dashed.(V)
117 Uphold me,(W) and I will be delivered;(X)
    I will always have regard for your decrees.(Y)
118 You reject all who stray(Z) from your decrees,
    for their delusions come to nothing.
119 All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross;(AA)
    therefore I love your statutes.(AB)
120 My flesh trembles(AC) in fear of you;(AD)
    I stand in awe(AE) of your laws.

ע Ayin

121 I have done what is righteous and just;(AF)
    do not leave me to my oppressors.
122 Ensure your servant’s well-being;(AG)
    do not let the arrogant oppress me.(AH)
123 My eyes fail,(AI) looking for your salvation,(AJ)
    looking for your righteous promise.(AK)
124 Deal with your servant according to your love(AL)
    and teach me your decrees.(AM)
125 I am your servant;(AN) give me discernment
    that I may understand your statutes.(AO)
126 It is time for you to act, Lord;
    your law is being broken.(AP)
127 Because I love your commands(AQ)
    more than gold,(AR) more than pure gold,(AS)
128 and because I consider all your precepts right,(AT)
    I hate every wrong path.(AU)

פ Pe

129 Your statutes are wonderful;(AV)
    therefore I obey them.(AW)
130 The unfolding of your words gives light;(AX)
    it gives understanding to the simple.(AY)
131 I open my mouth and pant,(AZ)
    longing for your commands.(BA)
132 Turn to me(BB) and have mercy(BC) on me,
    as you always do to those who love your name.(BD)
133 Direct my footsteps according to your word;(BE)
    let no sin rule(BF) over me.
134 Redeem me from human oppression,(BG)
    that I may obey your precepts.(BH)
135 Make your face shine(BI) on your servant
    and teach me your decrees.(BJ)
136 Streams of tears(BK) flow from my eyes,
    for your law is not obeyed.(BL)
