108Receive in favor the freewill-offerings of my mouth, I beseech thee, O Lord, and teach me thy ordinances.
109My life is in my hand continually: yet thy law do I not forget.
110The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet have I not erred from thy precepts.
111I have taken thy testimonies as a heritage to eternity; for they are the joy of my heart.
112I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes always, in all their ways.
113SAMECH. Those of divided thoughts I hate; but thy law do I love.
114My shelter and my shield art thou: for thy word do I wait.
115Depart from me, ye evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of God.
116Uphold me according to thy promise, that I may live, and let me not be made ashamed of my hope.
117Support me that I may be placed in safety, and I will direct my regard unto thy statutes continually.
118Thou hast trodden down all that erringly stray from thy statutes; for falsehood is their deceit.
119Like dross dost thou put away all the wicked of the earth: therefore do I love thy testimonies.
120My flesh trembleth shudderingly from dread of thee, and of thy decrees am I afraid.
121'AYIN. I have executed justice and righteousness: leave me not to those who oppress me.
122Protect thy servant for good: let not the presumptuous oppress me.
123My eyes look eagerly for thy salvation, and for thy righteous promise.
124Deal with thy servant according to thy kindness, and thy statutes do thou teach me.
125I am thy servant: give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.
126It is time to act for the Lord: they have broken thy law.
127Therefore do I love thy commandments more than gold, and more than fine gold.
128Therefore do I esteem all thy precepts in all things as right: every path of falsehood do I hate.
