57Thou art my portion, O LORD! I have resolved that I will keep thy precepts.
58I have sought thy favor with my whole heart; Be gracious unto me according to thy promise!
59I think on my ways, And turn my feet to thy statutes;
60I make haste, and delay not, To keep thy commandments.
61The snares of the wicked surround me; Yet do I not forget thy law.
62At midnight I rise to give thanks to thee On account of thy righteous judgments.
63I am the companion of all who fear thee, And who obey thy precepts.
64The earth, O LORD! is full of thy goodness; O teach me thy statutes!
65Thou dost bless thy servant, O LORD! According to thy promise!
66Teach me sound judgment and knowledge! For I have faith in thy commandments.
67Before I was afflicted, I went astray; But now I keep thy word.
68Thou art good and doest good; O teach me thy statutes!
69The proud forge lies against me, But I keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
70Their heart is senseless like fat; But I delight in thy law.
71It is good for me that I have been afflicted, That I might learn thy statutes.
72The law of thy mouth is better to me Than thousands of gold and silver.
73Thy hands have made and fashioned me; Give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments!
74They who fear thee shall see me and rejoice, Because I trust in thy word.
75I know, O LORD! that thy judgments are right, And that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.
76O let thy loving-kindness be my comfort, According to thy promise to thy servant!
77Let thy tender mercies come to me, that I may live! For thy law is my delight.
78May the proud be put to shame, who wrong me without cause! But I will meditate on thy precepts.
79Let those who fear thee turn unto me, And they that know thine ordinances!
80May my heart be perfect in thy statutes, That I may not be put to shame!
81My soul fainteth for thy salvation; In thy promise do I trust.
82Mine eyes fail with looking for thy promise; When. say I, wilt thou comfort me?
83Yea, I am become like a bottle in the smoke; Yet do I not forget thy statutes.
84How many are the days of thy servant? When wilt thou execute judgment upon my persecutors?
85The proud have digged pits for me; They who do not regard thy law.
86All thy commandments are faithful; They persecute me without cause; help thou me!
87They had almost consumed me from the earth; But I forsook not thy precepts.
88Quicken me according to thy loving-kindness, That I may keep the law of thy mouth!
89Thy word, O LORD! abideth for ever, Being established like the heavens;
90Thy faithfulness endureth to all generations. Thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
91They continue to this day according to their ordinances; For they are all subject to thee.
92Had not thy law been my delight, I should have perished in my affliction.
93I will never forget thy precepts; For by them thou revivest me.
94I am thine, help me! For I seek thy precepts.
95The wicked lie in wait to destroy me; But I will have regard to thine ordinances.
96I have seen an end of all perfection; But thy law is exceeding broad.
97O how I love thy law! It is my daily meditation.
98Thou hast made me wiser than my enemies by thy precepts; For they are ever before me.
99I have more understanding than all my teachers; For thine ordinances are my meditation.
100I have more wisdom than the ancients, Because I keep thy precepts.
101I have restrained my feet from every evil way, That I might keep thy word.
102I depart not from thy statutes, For thou teachest me!
103How sweet are thy words to my taste; Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104From thy precepts I learn wisdom; Therefore do I hate every false way.
105Thy word is a lamp to my feet, And a light to my path.
106I have sworn, and I will perform it, That I will keep thy righteous statutes.
