97O how I love thy law! It is my daily meditation.
98Thou hast made me wiser than my enemies by thy precepts; For they are ever before me.
99I have more understanding than all my teachers; For thine ordinances are my meditation.
100I have more wisdom than the ancients, Because I keep thy precepts.
101I have restrained my feet from every evil way, That I might keep thy word.
102I depart not from thy statutes, For thou teachest me!
103How sweet are thy words to my taste; Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104From thy precepts I learn wisdom; Therefore do I hate every false way.
105Thy word is a lamp to my feet, And a light to my path.
106I have sworn, and I will perform it, That I will keep thy righteous statutes.
107I am exceedingly afflicted; Revive me, O LORD! according to thy word!
108Accept, O LORD! the free-will offering of my mouth, And teach me thy statutes!
109My life is continually in my hand; Yet do I not forget thy law.
110The wicked lay snares for me, Yet do I not go astray from thy precepts.
111I have made thine ordinances my possession for ever; For they are the joy of my heart.
112I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes, Always,—even to the end.
113I hate impious men, And thy law I do love.
114Thou art my hiding-place and my shield; In thy word I put my trust!
115Depart from me, ye evil-doers! For I will keep the commandments of my God.
116Uphold me according to thy promise, that I may live; And let me not be ashamed of my hope!
117Do thou hold me up, and I shall be safe, And I will have respect to thy statutes continually!
118Thou castest off all who depart from thy laws; For their deceit is vain.
119Thou throwest away all the wicked of the earth, like dross; Therefore I love thine ordinances.
120My flesh trembleth through fear of thee, And I am afraid of thy judgments.
121I have done justice and equity; O leave me not to mine oppressors.
122Be surety for thy servant for good; Let not the proud oppress me!
123Mine eyes fail with looking for thy help, And for thy righteous promise.
124Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy, And teach me thy statutes!
125I am thy servant; give me understanding, That I may know thine ordinances!
126It is time for thee, O LORD! to act; For men have made void thy law.
127Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; Yea, above fine gold.
128Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; I hate every false way.
129Wonderful are thine ordinances; Therefore do I observe them.
130The communication of thy precepts giveth light; It giveth understanding to the simple.
131I open my mouth and pant: For I long for thy commandments.
132Look thou upon me, and be gracious to me, As is just to those who love thy name!
133Establish my footsteps in thy word, And let no iniquity have dominion over me!
134Redeem me from the oppression of men, So will I keep thy precepts!
135Let thy face shine on thy servant, And teach me thy statutes!
136Rivers of water run down mine eyes, Because men keep not thy law.
137Righteous art thou, O LORD! And just are thy judgments!
138Just are the ordinances which thou hast ordained, And altogether righteous.
139My zeal consumeth me, Because my enemies forget thy word.
140Thy word is very pure, Therefore thy servant loveth it.
141Of mean condition am I, and despised; Yet do I not forget thy precepts.
142Thy righteousness is everlasting righteousness, And thy law is truth.
143Trouble and anguish have taken hold of me, But thy laws are my delight.
144The justice of thine ordinances is everlasting; Give me understanding, and I shall live!
145I cry to thee with my whole heart; Hear me, O LORD! that I may keep thy statutes.
146I cry unto thee; save me, And I will observe thine ordinances.
147I come before the dawn with my prayer; I trust in thy promise!
148My eyes anticipate the night-watches, That I may meditate upon thy promise.
149Hear my voice according to thy loving-kindness; O LORD! revive me according to thy mercy!
150Near are they whose aim is mischief; They are far from thy law;
151Yet thou art near, O LORD! And all thy commandments are truth!
152Long have I known concerning thine ordinances, That thou hast founded them for ever.
153Look upon my affliction, and deliver me! For I do not forget thy law.
154Maintain my cause, and redeem me; Revive me according to thy promise!
155Salvation is far from the wicked, Because they seek not thy statutes.
156Great is thy compassion, O LORD! Revive thou me according to thine equity!
157Many are my persecutors and my enemies, Yet do I not depart from thine ordinances.
158I behold the transgressors, and am grieved Because they regard not thy word.
159Behold, how I love thy precepts! O LORD! revive me according to thy loving-kindness!
160The whole of thy word is truth, And all thy righteous judgments endure for ever.
161Princes have persecuted me without cause; But my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
162I rejoice in thy word, As one that hath found great spoil.
163I hate and abhor lying, And thy law do I love.
164Seven times a day do I praise thee On account of thy righteous judgments.
165Great peace have they who love thy law, And no evil shall befall them.
166O LORD! I wait for thy salvation, And keep thy commandments!
167My soul observeth thine ordinances, And loveth them exceedingly.
168I keep thy precepts and thine ordinances; For all my ways are before thee.
169Let my prayer come near before thee, O LORD! According to thy promise, give me understanding!
170Let my supplication come before thee; O deliver me according to thy promise!
171My lips shall pour forth praise; For thou teachest me thy statutes.
172My tongue shall sing of thy word; For all thy commandments are right.
173Let thy hand be my help; For I have chosen thy precepts!
174I long for thy salvation, O LORD! And thy law is my delight!
175Let me live, and I will praise thee; Let thy judgments help me!
176I wander like a lost sheep; seek thy servant, For I do not forget thy commandments!
