Psalms 119:86-102

⁸⁶All ◄your commands are/what you have commanded is► trustworthy; but people are ◄persecuting/causing trouble for► me by telling lies about me, so please help me!

⁸⁷Those people have almost killed me, but I have not stopped obeying ◄your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do►.

⁸⁸Because you faithfully love me, allow me to continue to live in order that I may continue to obey ◄your rules/what you have instructed us to do►.

⁸⁹Yahweh, your words will last forever; they will last as long as heaven lasts.

⁹⁰You will faithfully continue doing ◄ for people who are not yet born/in every generation► what you have ◄promised/said that you would do►; you have put the earth in its place, and it remains firmly there.

⁹¹To this day, all things on the earth remain because you decided that they should remain; everything on the earth serves you.

⁹²If I had not been delighted in obeying your laws, I would have died because of what I was suffering.

⁹³I will never forget ◄your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do►, because as a result of my obeying them you have enabled me to continue to live.

⁹⁴I belong to you; save/rescue me from my enemies, because I have tried to obey ◄your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do►.

⁹⁵Wicked men are waiting to kill me, but I will think about /what you have instructed us to do.

⁹⁶I have learned that there is a limit/end for everything, but what you command ◄has no limits/never ends►.

⁹⁷I love your laws very much. I ◄meditate on/think about► them all during the day.

⁹⁸Because I know ◄your commands/what you have commanded►, and because I think about them all the time, I have become wiser than my enemies.

⁹⁹I understand more than my teachers do, because I ◄meditate on/think about► ◄your requirements/what you have instructed us to do►.

¹⁰⁰I understand more than many old people do, because I obey ◄your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do►.

¹⁰¹I have avoided all evil behavior in order that I may obey ◄your words/what you have told us to do►.

¹⁰²I have not ◄turned away from/quit► obeying ◄your regulations/the rules that you have given to us►, because you have taught me while I have studied them.
