82My eyes fail for your word. I say, “When will you comfort me?”
83For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke. I don’t forget your statutes.
84How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute judgement on those who persecute me?
85The proud have dug pits for me, contrary to your Torah ·Teaching·.
86All of your mitzvot ·instructions· are faithful. They persecute me wrongfully. Help me!
87They had almost wiped me from the earth, but I didn’t forsake your precepts.
88Preserve my life according to your cheshed ·loving-kindness·, so I will obey the testimonies of your mouth. LAMED
89Adonai , your word is settled in heaven forever.
90Your faithfulness is to all generations. You have established the earth, and it remains.
91Your judgments remain to this day, for all things serve you.
92Unless your Torah ·Teaching· had been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.
93I will never forget your precepts, for with them, you have revived me.
94I am yours. Save me, for I have sought your precepts.
95The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me. I will consider your testimonies.
96I have seen a limit to all perfection, but your mitzvot ·instructions· are boundless. MEM
97How I 'ahav ·affectionately love· your Torah ·Teaching·! It is my meditation all day.
98I am wiser than my enemies, for your mitzvot ·instructions· are always with me.
99I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your testimonies are my meditation.
100I understand more than the aged, because I have kept your precepts.
101I have kept my feet from every evil way, that I might observe your word.
102I have not turned aside from your judgments, for you have taught me.
103How sweet are your promises to my taste, more than honey to my mouth!
104Through your precepts, I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. NUN
105Your word is a lamp candle to my feet, and a light for my path.
106I have sworn, and have confirmed it, that I will obey your righteous judgments.
107I am afflicted very much. Revive me, Adonai , according to your word.
108Accept, I beg you, the willing offerings of my mouth. Adonai , teach me your judgments.
109My soul is continually in my hand, yet I won’t forget your Torah ·Teaching·.
110The wicked have laid a snare for me, yet I haven’t gone astray from your precepts.
111I have taken your testimonies as a heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.
112I have set my heart to perform your statutes forever, even to the end. SAMECH
113I hate double-minded men, but I 'ahav ·affectionately love· your Torah ·Teaching·.
114You are my hiding place and my shield. I hope in your word.
115Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the mitzvot ·instructions· of my God.
116Uphold me according to your word, that I may live. Let me not be ashamed of my hope.
117Hold me up, and I will be safe, and will have respect for your statutes continually.
