87They had almost consumed me upon earth; but as for me, I forsook not Thy precepts.
88Quicken me after Thy lovingkindness, and I will observe the testimony of Thy mouth.
89LAMED. For ever, O LORD, Thy word standeth fast in heaven.
90Thy faithfulness is unto all generations; Thou hast established the earth, and it standeth.
91They stand this day according to Thine ordinances; for all things are Thy servants.
92Unless Thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
93I will never forget Thy precepts; for with them Thou hast quickened me.
94I am Thine, save me; for I have sought Thy precepts.
95The wicked have waited for me to destroy me; but I will consider Thy testimonies.
96I have seen an end to every purpose; but Thy commandment is exceeding broad.
97MEM. O how love I Thy law! It is my meditation all the day.
98Thy commandments make me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
99I have more understanding than all my teachers; for Thy testimonies are my meditation.
100I understand more than mine elders, because I have keep Thy precepts.
101I have refrained my feet from every evil way, in order that I might observe Thy word.
102I have not turned aside from Thine ordinances; for Thou hast instructed me.
103How sweet are Thy words unto my palate! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104From Thy precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.
105NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
106I have sworn, and have confirmed it, to observe Thy righteous ordinances.
107I am afflicted very much; quicken me, O LORD, according unto Thy word.
108Accept, I beseech Thee, the freewill-offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me Thine ordinances.
109My soul is continually in my hand; yet have I not forgotten Thy law.
110The wicked have laid a snare for me; yet went I not astray from Thy precepts.
111Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever; for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
112I have inclined my heart to perform Thy statutes, for ever, at every step.
113SAMECH. I hate them that are of a double mind; but Thy law do I love.
114Thou art my covert and my shield; in Thy word do I hope.
115Depart from me, ye evildoers; that I may keep the commandments of my God.
116Uphold me according unto Thy word, that I may live; and put me not to shame in my hope.
