⁸⁷They had almost consumed me upon the earth; but as for me, I forsook not thy precepts.

⁸⁸Quicken me according to thy loving-kindness, and I will keep the testimony of thy mouth.

⁸⁹LAMED. For ever, O Jehovah, thy word is settled in the heavens.

⁹⁰Thy faithfulness is from generation to generation: thou hast established the earth, and it standeth.

⁹¹By thine ordinances they stand this day; for all things are thy servants.

⁹²Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction.

⁹⁴I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.

⁹⁵The wicked have awaited me to destroy me; but I attend unto thy testimonies.

⁹⁷MEM. Oh how I love 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.

¹⁰¹I have refrained my feet from every evil path, that I might keep thy word.

¹⁰²I have not departed from thy judgments; for it is thou that hast taught me.

¹⁰³How sweet are thy *words unto my taste! more than honey to my mouth!

¹⁰⁴From thy precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false path.

¹⁰⁵NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

¹⁰⁶I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.

¹¹³SAMECH. The double-minded have I hated; but thy law do I love.

¹¹⁴Thou art my hiding-place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

¹¹⁵Depart from me, ye evil-doers; and I will observe the commandments of my God.

¹¹⁶Uphold me according to thy *word, that I may live; and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

¹¹⁷Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe; and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.

¹¹⁸Thou hast set at nought all them that wander from thy statutes; for their deceit is falsehood.

¹¹⁹Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross; therefore I love thy testimonies.

¹²⁰My flesh shuddereth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.

¹²¹AIN. I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.

¹²²Be surety for thy servant for good; let not the proud oppress me.

¹²³Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the *word of thy righteousness.

¹²⁴Deal with thy servant according to thy loving-kindness, and teach me thy statutes.
