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.
129PE. Wonderful are thy testimonies: therefore doth my soul keep them.
130The opening of thy words giveth light, it giveth understanding unto the simple.
131I opened my mouth, and panted for breath; because for thy commandments did I long.
132Turn thou unto me, and be gracious unto me, as is thy wont unto those that love thy name.
133My steps establish thou through thy promise, and suffer not any wrong to have dominion over me.
134Deliver me from the oppression of man, and I will observe thy precepts.
135Let thy face shine upon thy servant, and teach me thy statutes.
136Streams of water have run down my eyes; because they had not observed thy law.
