Psalms 119:87-99

⁸⁷But little was wanting that they had consumed me upon earth; but I have truly not forsaken thy precepts.

⁸⁸According to thy kindness give me life, that I may observe the testimony of thy mouth.

⁸⁹LAMED. To eternity, O Lord, standeth firm thy word with the heavens.

⁹⁰Unto all generations endureth thy faithfulness: thou hast established the earth, and she standeth.

⁹¹According to thy ordinances they exist this day: for all are thy servants.

⁹²Unless thy law had been my delights, I should long since have been lost in my affliction.

⁹³Never will I forget thy precepts; for with them thou hast kept me alive.

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

⁹⁵Wicked men have waited for me to destroy me; but I will reflect on thy testimonies.

⁹⁶Of all perfection have I seen the end; but thy commandment is exceedingly extended.

⁹⁷MEM. Oh how do I love thy law! all the day is it my meditation.

⁹⁸Wiser than my enemy doth thy commandment make me; for it is perpetually with me.

⁹⁹Above all my teachers have I obtained intelligence; for thy testimonies are my meditation.
