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

¹⁰³When I read your words, they are like MET sweet things that I taste/eat, yes, they are even sweeter than honey.

¹⁰⁴Because I have learned ◄your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do►, I am able to understand many things; therefore, I hate all evil things that some people do.

¹⁰⁵Your words are like MET a lamp to guide me; they are like a light MET to show me the path that I should walk on.
