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.
