101I refrain my foot from all wicked ways, that I may keep your word.
102I turn not aside from your judgments, for you yourself are my teacher.
103How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104Insight I win through your precepts, therefore every false way I hate.
105Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.
106I have sworn an oath, and will keep it, to observe your righteous judgments.
107I am afflicted sorely: revive me, O Lord, as you said.
108Accept, Lord, my willing praise, and teach me your judgments.
109My life is in ceaseless peril; but I do not forget your law.
110The wicked set traps for me, yet I do not stray from your precepts.
111In your charges are my everlasting inheritance, they are the joy of my heart.
112I am resolved to perform your statutes forever, to the utmost.
113I hate people of divided heart, but your law do I love.
114You are my shelter and shield: in your word do I hope.
115Begone, you wicked people, I will keep the commands of my God.
116Uphold me and spare me, as you have promised: O disappoint me not.
117Hold me up, and I shall be saved: and your statutes shall be my unceasing delight.
118All who swerve from your statutes you spurn: their cunning is in vain.
119All the wicked of earth you count as dross, therefore I love your charges.
120My flesh, for fear of you, shudders, and I stand in awe of your judgments.
121Justice and right have I practised, do not leave me to my oppressors.
122Be your servant's surety for good, let not the proud oppress me.
123My eyes pine for your salvation, and for your righteous promise.
124Deal in your love with your servant, and teach me your statutes.
125Your servant am I; instruct me, that I may know your charges.
126It is time for the Lord to act: they have violated your law.
127Therefore I love your commandments above gold, above fine gold.
128So by all your precepts I guide me, and every false way I hate.
129Your decrees are wonderful, gladly I keep them.
