82My eyes pine away for your promise: saying, “When will you comfort me?”
83Though shrivelled like wine-skin in smoke, your statutes I have not forgotten.
84How few are the days of your servant! When will you judge those who harass me?
85Proud people have dug for me pits people who do not conform to your law.
86All your commandments are trusty. With falsehood they harass me: help me.
87They had nearly made an end of me, yet I did not forget your precepts.
88Spare me in your kindness, and I will observe the charge of your mouth.
89Forever, O Lord, is your word fixed firmly in the heavens.
90Your truth endures age after age; it is established on earth, and it stands.
91By your appointment they stand this day, for all are your servants.
92Had not your law been my joy, in my misery then had I perished.
93I will never forget your precepts, for through them you have put life in me.
94I am yours, O save me, for I give my mind to your precepts.
95The wicked lay wait to destroy me, but I give heed to your charge.
96I have seen a limit to all things: but your commandment is spacious exceedingly.
97O how I love your law! All the day long I muse on it.
98Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies: for it is mine forever.
99I am prudent above all my teachers, for your charges are my meditation.
100I have insight more than the aged, because I observe your precepts.
101I refrain my foot from all wicked ways, that I may keep your word.
102I turn not aside from your judgments, for you yourself are my teacher.
103How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104Insight I win through your precepts, therefore every false way I hate.
105Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.
106I have sworn an oath, and will keep it, to observe your righteous judgments.
107I am afflicted sorely: revive me, O Lord, as you said.
108Accept, Lord, my willing praise, and teach me your judgments.
109My life is in ceaseless peril; but I do not forget your law.
110The wicked set traps for me, yet I do not stray from your precepts.
111In your charges are my everlasting inheritance, they are the joy of my heart.
112I am resolved to perform your statutes forever, to the utmost.
113I hate people of divided heart, but your law do I love.
114You are my shelter and shield: in your word do I hope.
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.
