Psalms 119:92-128

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.

¹⁰⁰More than the elders do I possess understanding; because thy precepts do I keep.

¹⁰¹From every evil path have I withholden my feet, in order that I might observe thy word.

¹⁰²From thy ordinances have I not departed; for thou hast instructed me.

¹⁰³How much sweeter are to my palate thy sayings than honey to my mouth!

¹⁰⁴Through thy precepts shall I obtain understanding: therefore do I hate every path of falsehood.

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

¹⁰⁶I have sworn, and I will perform it, to observe thy righteous ordinances.

¹⁰⁷I am afflicted exceedingly much: O Lord, revive me, according to thy word.

¹⁰⁸Receive in favor the freewill-offerings of my mouth, I beseech thee, O Lord, and teach me thy ordinances.

¹⁰⁹My life is in my hand continually: yet thy law do I not forget.

¹¹⁰The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet have I not erred from thy precepts.

¹¹¹I have taken thy testimonies as a heritage to eternity; for they are the joy of my heart.

¹¹²I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes always, in all their ways.

¹¹³SAMECH. Those of divided thoughts I hate; but thy law do I love.

¹¹⁴My shelter and my shield art thou: for thy word do I wait.

¹¹⁵Depart from me, ye evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of God.

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

¹¹⁷Support me that I may be placed in safety, and I will direct my regard unto thy statutes continually.

¹¹⁸Thou hast trodden down all that erringly stray from thy statutes; for falsehood is their deceit.

¹¹⁹Like dross dost thou put away all the wicked of the earth: therefore do I love thy testimonies.

¹²⁰My flesh trembleth shudderingly from dread of thee, and of thy decrees am I afraid.

¹²¹'AYIN. I have executed justice and righteousness: leave me not to those who oppress me.

¹²²Protect thy servant for good: let not the presumptuous oppress me.

¹²³My eyes look eagerly for thy salvation, and for thy righteous promise.

¹²⁴Deal with thy servant according to thy kindness, and thy statutes do thou teach me.

¹²⁵I am thy servant: give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.

¹²⁶It is time to act for the Lord: they have broken thy law.

¹²⁷Therefore do I love thy commandments more than gold, and more than fine gold.

¹²⁸Therefore do I esteem all thy precepts in all things as right: every path of falsehood do I hate.
