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:
57 How could I want anything more, Yahweh?
I have promised to obey Your words.
58 Hear my heartfelt cry for Your favor!
Have mercy on me according to Your Word.
59 Humbly, I reflected on my ways
and turned my feet to Your instruction.
60 Hurrying, I won’t delay to keep all Your commands!
61 How could I forget Your Torah?
Though the wicked try to trap me.
62 Hear my heartfelt thanks for Your justice!
Even at night, I rise to thank You.
63 How could I not love those who fear You
And join with those who keep Your commands?
64 Hear my heartfelt cry for Your teaching!
Heaven and earth are filled with Your love, Yahweh!
