These songs are my own translation of Psalm 119 written in English as a singable acrostic as it was originally written in Hebrew. Each eight-verse section is its own song for a total of 22 songs. I was very surprised as I began to dig deeper into this Psalm to learn that not only does each of the 22 songs begin with the Hebrew letter, but each of the eight lines within the song also begins with that letter. That really sparked my imagination, so I began my journey of translating this Psalm into English in a similar way. My goal was to keep close enough to the original Hebrew text and its meaning to call it a translation while also making it an acrostic and a group of songs that felt like the kind of songs we sing in our worship. I didn’t want the language to feel awkward but to flow in the way that we speak and sing.

Lyrics:
65 In faithfulness to Your promises,
You have dealt well with me, Yah!
66 I trust and believe in Your commands,
Give me wisdom and understanding!
67 I suffered because I wandered away,
But now I keep Your Word.
68 Indeed, You are good, and You do good things!
Teach me Your ways!
69 I keep Your commands with all my heart
though the godless spread lies against me.
70 I find my delight in Your commands,
but their hearts have no understanding.
71 I suffered but it was good for me.
It made me learn Your Word.
72 Indeed, Your Torah is better to me
than thousands in silver and gold.
