80Let my heart be blameless toward your decrees, that I may not be disappointed.
81KAPF My soul faints for your salvation. I hope in your word.
82My eyes fail for your word. I say, “When will you comfort me?”
83For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke. I don’t forget your statutes.
84How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute judgment on those who persecute me?
85The proud have dug pits for me, contrary to your law.
86All of your commandments are faithful. They persecute me wrongfully. Help me!
87They had almost wiped me from the earth, but I didn’t forsake your precepts.
88Preserve my life according to your loving kindness, so I will obey the statutes of your mouth.
89LAMEDH Yahweh, your word is settled in heaven forever.
90Your faithfulness is to all generations. You have established the earth, and it remains.
91Your laws remain to this day, for all things serve you.
92Unless your law had been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.
93I will never forget your precepts, for with them, you have revived me.
94I am yours. Save me, for I have sought your precepts.
95The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me. I will consider your statutes.
96I have seen a limit to all perfection, but your commands are boundless.
97MEM How I love your law! It is my meditation all day.
98Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies, for your commandments are always with me.
99I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your testimonies are my meditation.
100I understand more than the aged, because I have kept your precepts.
101I have kept my feet from every evil way, that I might observe your word.
102I have not turned away from your ordinances, for you have taught me.
103How sweet are your promises to my taste, more than honey to my mouth!
104Through your precepts, I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.
105NUN Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path.
106I have sworn, and have confirmed it, that I will obey your righteous ordinances.
107I am afflicted very much. Revive me, Yahweh, according to your word.
108Accept, I beg you, the willing offerings of my mouth. Yahweh, teach me your ordinances.
109My soul is continually in my hand, yet I won’t forget your law.
