Psalms 119:95-122

⁹⁵The sinners have been waiting for me to give me up to destruction; but I will give all my mind to your unchanging ward.

⁹⁶I have seen that nothing on earth is complete; but your teaching is very wide.

⁹⁷MEM O what love I have for your law! I give thought to it all the day.

⁹⁸Your teaching has made me wiser than my haters: for it is mine for ever.

⁹⁹I have more knowledge than all my teachers, because I give thought to your unchanging word.

¹⁰⁰I have more wisdom than the old, because I have kept your orders.

¹⁰¹I have kept back my feet from all evil ways, so that I might be true to your word.

¹⁰²My heart has not been turned away from your decisions; for you have been my teacher.

¹⁰³How sweet are your sayings to my taste! truly, they are sweeter than honey in my mouth!

¹⁰⁴Through your orders I get wisdom; for this reason I am a hater of every false way.

¹⁰⁵NUN Your word is a light for my feet, ever shining on my way.

¹⁰⁶I have made an oath and kept it, to be guided by your upright decisions.

¹⁰⁷I am greatly troubled, O Lord, give me life in keeping with your word.

¹⁰⁸Take, O Lord, the free offerings of my mouth, and give me knowledge of your decisions.

¹⁰⁹My soul is ever in danger; but I still keep the memory of your law.

¹¹⁰Sinners have put a net to take me; but I was true to your orders.

¹¹¹I have taken your unchanging word as an eternal heritage; for it is the joy of my heart.

¹¹²My heart is ever ready to keep your rules, even to the end.

¹¹³SAMECH I am a hater of men of doubting mind; but I am a lover of your law.

¹¹⁴You are my secret place and my breastplate against danger; my hope is in your word.

¹¹⁵Go far from me, you evil-doers; so that I may keep the teachings of my God.

¹¹⁶Be my support as you have said, and give me life; let not my hope be turned to shame.

¹¹⁷Let me not be moved, and I will be safe, and ever take delight in your rules.

¹¹⁸You have overcome all those who are wandering from your rules; for all their thoughts are false.

¹¹⁹All the sinners of the earth are like waste metal in your eyes; and for this cause I give my love to your unchanging word.

¹²⁰My flesh is moved for fear of you; I give honour to your decisions.

¹²¹AIN I have done what is good and right: you will not give me into the hands of those who are working against me.

¹²²Take your servant's interests into your keeping; let me not be crushed by the men of pride.
