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 judgements, 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 judgements.
107I am afflicted sorely: revive me, O Lord, as you said.
108Accept, Lord, my willing praise, and teach me your judgements.
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.
118All who swerve from your statutes you spurn: their cunning is in vain.
119All the wicked of earth you count as dross, therefore I love your charges.
120My flesh, for fear of you, shudders, and I stand in awe of your judgements.
121Justice and right have I practised, do not leave me to my oppressors.
122Be your servant's surety for good, let not the proud oppress me.
123My eyes pine for your salvation, and for your righteous promise.
124Deal in your love with your servant, and teach me your statutes.
125Your servant am I; instruct me, that I may know your charges.
126It is time for the Lord to act: they have violated your law.
127Therefore I love your commandments above gold, above fine gold.
128So by all your precepts I guide me, and every false way I hate.
129Your decrees are wonderful, gladly I keep them.
130When your word is unfolded, light breaks; it imparts to the simple wisdom.
131With open mouth I pant with longing for your commandments.
132Turn to me with your favour, as is just to those who love you.
133Steady my steps by your word, so that sin have no power over me.
134Set me free from those who oppress me, and I shall observe your precepts.
135Shine with your face on your servant, and teach me your statutes.
136My eyes run down with rills of water, because your law is not kept.
137Righteous are you, O Lord, and right are your ordinances.
138The laws you has ordered are just, and trusty exceedingly.
139My jealousy has undone me, that my foes have forgotten your words.
140Your word has been tested well; and your servant loves it.
141I am little and held in contempt, but your precepts I have not forgotten.
142Just is your justice forever, and trusty is your law.
143Stress and strain are upon me, but your commandments are my delight.
144Right are your charges forever, instruct me that I may live.
145With my whole heart I cry; O answer me. I would keep your statutes, O Lord.
146I cry to you: O save me, and I will observe your charges.
147Ere the dawn I cry for your help: in your word do I hope.
148Awake I meet the night-watches, to muse upon your sayings.
