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.
100I understand more than the aged, because I have observed thy precepts.
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.
107I am afflicted very much; O Jehovah, quicken me according to thy word.
108Accept, I beseech thee, Jehovah, the voluntary-offerings of my mouth, and teach me thy judgments.
109My life is continually in my hand; but I do not forget thy law.
110The wicked have laid a snare for me; but I have not wandered from thy precepts.
111Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever; for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
112I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes for ever, unto the end.
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.
125I am thy servant; give me understanding that I may know thy testimonies.
126It is time for Jehovah to work: they have made void thy law.
127Therefore I love thy commandments above gold, yea, above fine gold.
128Therefore I regard all thy precepts concerning all things to be right: I hate every false path.
129PE. Thy testimonies are wonderful; therefore doth my soul observe them.
130The entrance of thy words giveth light, giving understanding unto the simple.
131I opened my mouth wide and panted; for I longed for thy commandments.
132Turn unto me, and be gracious unto me, as thou art wont to do unto those that love thy name.
133Establish my steps in thy *word; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
134Deliver me from the oppression of man; and I will keep thy precepts.
135Make thy face to shine upon thy servant, and teach me thy statutes.
136Mine eyes run down with streams of water, because they keep not thy law.
137TZADE. Righteous art thou, Jehovah, and upright are thy judgments.
138Thou hast commanded thy testimonies in righteousness and exceeding faithfulness.
139My zeal destroyeth me, because mine oppressors have forgotten thy words.
140Thy *word is exceeding pure, and thy servant loveth it.
141I am little and despised: thy precepts have I not forgotten.
142Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is truth.
143Trouble and anguish have taken hold upon me: thy commandments are my delights.
144The righteousness of thy testimonies is for ever: give me understanding, and I shall live.
