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.
107I am exceedingly afflicted; Revive me, O LORD! according to thy word!
108Accept, O LORD! the free-will offering of my mouth, And teach me thy statutes!
109My life is continually in my hand; Yet do I not forget thy law.
110The wicked lay snares for me, Yet do I not go astray from thy precepts.
111I have made thine ordinances my possession for ever; For they are the joy of my heart.
112I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes, Always,—even to the end.
113I hate impious men, And thy law I do love.
114Thou art my hiding-place and my shield; In thy word I put my trust!
115Depart from me, ye evil-doers! For I will keep the commandments of my God.
116Uphold me according to thy promise, that I may live; And let me not be ashamed of my hope!
117Do thou hold me up, and I shall be safe, And I will have respect to thy statutes continually!
118Thou castest off all who depart from thy laws; For their deceit is vain.
119Thou throwest away all the wicked of the earth, like dross; Therefore I love thine ordinances.
120My flesh trembleth through fear of thee, And I am afraid of thy judgments.
121I have done justice and equity; O leave me not to mine oppressors.
122Be surety for thy servant for good; Let not the proud oppress me!
123Mine eyes fail with looking for thy help, And for thy righteous promise.
124Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy, And teach me thy statutes!
125I am thy servant; give me understanding, That I may know thine ordinances!
126It is time for thee, O LORD! to act; For men have made void thy law.
127Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; Yea, above fine gold.
128Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; I hate every false way.
129Wonderful are thine ordinances; Therefore do I observe them.
130The communication of thy precepts giveth light; It giveth understanding to the simple.
131I open my mouth and pant: For I long for thy commandments.
132Look thou upon me, and be gracious to me, As is just to those who love thy name!
133Establish my footsteps in thy word, And let no iniquity have dominion over me!
134Redeem me from the oppression of men, So will I keep thy precepts!
135Let thy face shine on thy servant, And teach me thy statutes!
136Rivers of water run down mine eyes, Because men keep not thy law.
137Righteous art thou, O LORD! And just are thy judgments!
138Just are the ordinances which thou hast ordained, And altogether righteous.
139My zeal consumeth me, Because my enemies forget thy word.
140Thy word is very pure, Therefore thy servant loveth it.
141Of mean condition am I, and despised; Yet do I not forget thy precepts.
142Thy righteousness is everlasting righteousness, And thy law is truth.
143Trouble and anguish have taken hold of me, But thy laws are my delight.
144The justice of thine ordinances is everlasting; Give me understanding, and I shall live!
