84How short is the life of your servant! when will you give your decision against those who are attacking me?
85The men of pride, who are turned away from your law, have put nets for me.
86All your teachings are certain; they go after me with evil design; give me your help.
87They had almost put an end to me on earth; but I did not give up your orders.
88Give me life in your mercy; so that I may be ruled by the unchanging word of your mouth.
89LAMED For ever, O Lord, your word is fixed in heaven.
90Your faith is unchanging from generation to generation: you have put the earth in its place, and it is not moved.
91They are ruled this day by your decisions; for all things are your servants.
92If your law had not been my delight, my troubles would have put an end to me.
93I will ever keep your orders in mind; for in them I have life.
94I am yours, O be my saviour; for my desire has been for your rules.
95The sinners have been waiting for me to give me up to destruction; but I will give all my mind to your unchanging ward.
96I have seen that nothing on earth is complete; but your teaching is very wide.
97MEM O what love I have for your law! I give thought to it all the day.
98Your teaching has made me wiser than my haters: for it is mine for ever.
99I have more knowledge than all my teachers, because I give thought to your unchanging word.
100I have more wisdom than the old, because I have kept your orders.
101I have kept back my feet from all evil ways, so that I might be true to your word.
102My heart has not been turned away from your decisions; for you have been my teacher.
103How sweet are your sayings to my taste! truly, they are sweeter than honey in my mouth!
104Through your orders I get wisdom; for this reason I am a hater of every false way.
105NUN Your word is a light for my feet, ever shining on my way.
