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:
73 Just as You made me and formed me,
Make me wise to learn Your commands.
74 Joy will come to all those who fear You
when they see I hope in Your Word.
75 Judgments from You are always fair, Yahweh, I know.
Even when You humble me, You do so out of faithfulness.
76 Just let Your steadfast love comfort me
As You keep Your promise to me.
77 Joy is mine when I live in Your Torah,
Let Your compassion shower me!
78 Judge the proud who’ve lied about me. I’ll meditate on Your Law.
79 Join me with those who know Your Torah and with those in awe of You.
80 Just let me never be ashamed, Make me pure.
Let my heart be blameless before You
As I wholeheartedly keep Your commands.
