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.
130When your word is unfolded, light breaks; it imparts to the simple wisdom.
131With open mouth I pant with longing for your commandments.
132Turn to me with your favor, as is just to those who love you.
133Steady my steps by your word, so that sin have no power over me.
134Set me free from those who oppress me, and I shall observe your precepts.
135Shine with your face on your servant, and teach me your statutes.
136My eyes run down with rills of water, because your law is not kept.
137Righteous are you, O Lord, and right are your ordinances.
138The laws you has ordered are just, and trusty exceedingly.
139My jealousy has undone me, that my foes have forgotten your words.
140Your word has been tested well; and your servant loves it.
141I am little and held in contempt, but your precepts I have not forgotten.
142Just is your justice forever, and trusty is your law.
143Stress and strain are upon me, but your commandments are my delight.
144Right are your charges forever, instruct me that I may live.
145With my whole heart I cry; O answer me. I would keep your statutes, O Lord.
