In your righteousness give me Life!

TEHILLIM (Psalms 119: 57-64)

ח (Het)

57 - 58

Adonai, I say that my task is to observe your words. I beg your favor with my whole heart; show pity to me, in keeping with your promise.

59 - 60

I thought about my ways and turn my feet towards your instruction. I hurry, I don't delay, to observe your mitzvot.

61 -62

Even when the cords of the wicked close around me, I don,t forget your Torah. At midnight I rise to give you thanks because of your righteous rulings.

63 -64

I am a friend of all who fear you, of those who observe your precepts. The earth, Adonai, ia full of your grace;teach me your laws.

TEHILLIM (Psalms 119:73- 80)

י (Yud)

73 - 74

Your hands made and formed me; give me understanding, so I can learn your mitzvot. Those who fear you rejoice at the sight of me, because I put my hope in your word.

75 - 76

I know, Adonai, that your rulings are righteous. That even when you humble me you are faithful. Let your grace comfort me, in keeping with your promise to your servant.

77 - 78

Show me pity, and I will live, for your Torah is my delight. Let the proud be ashamed, because they wrong me with lies; as for me, I will meditate on your precepts.

79 - 80

Let those who fear you turn to me,  along with those who know your instruction. Let my heart be pure in your laws, so that I won't be put to shame.


Understand that:
Chai (חי) is a Hebrew word and symbol that means “life.” It is spelled with the Hebrew letters Het or Hey (ח) and Yud (י).

Consider these examples of how to live a long and happy life and avoid the warnings of Yahweh :

Deuteronomy 30:19   This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.

Genesis 2:17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.

Deuteronomy 4:1 Now, Israel, hear the decrees and laws I am about to teach you. Follow them so that you may live and may go in and take possession of the land the LORD, the God of your ancestors, is giving you.

Deuteronomy 4:6 Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding to the nations, who will hear about all these decrees and say, "Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people."

Deuteronomy 4:26 I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you this day that you will quickly perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live there long but will certainly be destroyed.

Deuteronomy 11:26 See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse...

Deuteronomy 30:1 When all these blessings and curses I have set before you come on you and you take them to heart wherever the LORD your God disperses you among the nations.

Deuteronomy 30:16 For I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.

Deuteronomy 31:28 Assemble before me all the elders of your tribes and all your officials, so that I can speak these words in their hearing and call the heavens and the earth to testify against them.

Jeremiah 21:8 "Furthermore, tell the people, 'This is what the LORD says: See, I am setting before you the way of life and the way of death.
