Psalms 119:85-95

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.
