81 | My soul languishes for thy salvation; I hope in thy word. |
82 | My eyes fail with watching for thy promise; I ask, "When wilt thou comfort me?" |
83 | For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke, yet I have not forgotten thy statutes. |
84 | How long must thy servant endure? When wilt thou judge those who persecute me? |
85 | Godless men have dug pitfalls for me, men who do not conform to thy law. |
86 | All thy commandments are sure; they persecute me with falsehood; help me! |
87 | They have almost made an end of me on earth; but I have not forsaken thy precepts. |
88 | In thy steadfast love spare my life, that I may keep the testimonies of thy mouth. |
89 | For ever, O LORD, thy word is firmly fixed in the heavens. |
90 | Thy faithfulness endures to all generations; thou hast established the earth, and it stands fast. |
91 | By thy appointment they stand this day; for all things are thy servants. |
92 | If thy law had not been my delight, I should have perished in my affliction. |
93 | I will never forget thy precepts; for by them thou hast given me life. |
94 | I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts. |
95 | The wicked lie in wait to destroy me; but I consider thy testimonies. |
96 | I have seen a limit to all perfection, but thy commandment is exceedingly broad. |
97 | Oh, how I love thy law! It is my meditation all the day. |
98 | Thy commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is ever with me. |
99 | I have more understanding than all my teachers, for thy testimonies are my meditation. |
100 | I understand more than the aged, for I keep thy precepts. |
101 | I hold back my feet from every evil way, in order to keep thy word. |
102 | I do not turn aside from thy ordinances, for thou hast taught me. |
103 | How sweet are thy words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! |
104 | Through thy precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. |
105 | Thy word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. |
106 | I have sworn an oath and confirmed it, to observe thy righteous ordinances. |
107 | I am sorely afflicted; give me life, O LORD, according to thy word! |
108 | Accept my offerings of praise, O LORD, and teach me thy ordinances. |
109 | I hold my life in my hand continually, but I do not forget thy law. |
110 | The wicked have laid a snare for me, but I do not stray from thy precepts. |
111 | Thy testimonies are my heritage for ever; yea, they are the joy of my heart. |
112 | I incline my heart to perform thy statutes for ever, to the end. |
113 | I hate double-minded men, but I love thy law. |
114 | Thou art my hiding place and my shield; I hope in thy word. |
115 | Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God. |
116 | Uphold me according to thy promise, that I may live, and let me not be put to shame in my hope! |
117 | Hold me up, that I may be safe and have regard for thy statutes continually! |
118 | Thou dost spurn all who go astray from thy statutes; yea, their cunning is in vain. |
119 | All the wicked of the earth thou dost count as dross; therefore I love thy testimonies. |
120 | My flesh trembles for fear of thee, and I am afraid of thy judgments. |
121 | I have done what is just and right; do not leave me to my oppressors. |
122 | Be surety for thy servant for good; let not the godless oppress me. |
123 | My eyes fail with watching for thy salvation, and for the fulfilment of thy righteous promise. |
124 | Deal with thy servant according to thy steadfast love, and teach me thy statutes. |
125 | I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies! |
126 | It is time for the LORD to act, for thy law has been broken. |
127 | Therefore I love thy commandments above gold, above fine gold. |
128 | Therefore I direct my steps by all thy precepts; I hate every false way. |
129 | Thy testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soul keeps them. |
130 | The unfolding of thy words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple. |
131 | With open mouth I pant, because I long for thy commandments. |
132 | Turn to me and be gracious to me, as is thy wont toward those who love thy name. |
133 | Keep steady my steps according to thy promise, and let no iniquity get dominion over me. |
134 | Redeem me from man's oppression, that I may keep thy precepts. |
135 | Make thy face shine upon thy servant, and teach me thy statutes. |
136 | My eyes shed streams of tears, because men do not keep thy law. |
137 | Righteous art thou, O LORD, and right are thy judgments. |
138 | Thou hast appointed thy testimonies in righteousness and in all faithfulness. |
139 | My zeal consumes me, because my foes forget thy words. |
140 | Thy promise is well tried, and thy servant loves it. |
141 | I am small and despised, yet I do not forget thy precepts. |
142 | Thy righteousness is righteous for ever, and thy law is true. |
143 | Trouble and anguish have come upon me, but thy commandments are my delight. |
144 | Thy testimonies are righteous for ever; give me understanding that I may live. |
145 | With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O LORD! I will keep thy statutes. |
146 | I cry to thee; save me, that I may observe thy testimonies. |
147 | I rise before dawn and cry for help; I hope in thy words. |
148 | My eyes are awake before the watches of the night, that I may meditate upon thy promise. |
149 | Hear my voice in thy steadfast love; O LORD, in thy justice preserve my life. |
150 | They draw near who persecute me with evil purpose; they are far from thy law. |
151 | But thou art near, O LORD, and all thy commandments are true. |
152 | Long have I known from thy testimonies that thou hast founded them for ever. |
153 | Look on my affliction and deliver me, for I do not forget thy law. |
154 | Plead my cause and redeem me; give me life according to thy promise! |
155 | Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do not seek thy statutes. |
156 | Great is thy mercy, O LORD; give me life according to thy justice. |
157 | Many are my persecutors and my adversaries, but I do not swerve from thy testimonies. |
158 | I look at the faithless with disgust, because they do not keep thy commands. |
159 | Consider how I love thy precepts! Preserve my life according to thy steadfast love. |
160 | The sum of thy word is truth; and every one of thy righteous ordinances endures for ever. |
161 | Princes persecute me without cause, but my heart stands in awe of thy words. |
162 | I rejoice at thy word like one who finds great spoil. |
163 | I hate and abhor falsehood, but I love thy law. |
164 | Seven times a day I praise thee for thy righteous ordinances. |
165 | Great peace have those who love thy law; nothing can make them stumble. |
166 | I hope for thy salvation, O LORD, and I do thy commandments. |
167 | My soul keeps thy testimonies; I love them exceedingly. |
168 | I keep thy precepts and testimonies, for all my ways are before thee. |
169 | Let my cry come before thee, O LORD; give me understanding according to thy word! |
170 | Let my supplication come before thee; deliver me according to thy word. |
171 | My lips will pour forth praise that thou dost teach me thy statutes. |
172 | My tongue will sing of thy word, for all thy commandments are right. |
173 | Let thy hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen thy precepts. |
174 | I long for thy salvation, O LORD, and thy law is my delight. |
175 | Let me live, that I may praise thee, and let thy ordinances help me. |
176 | I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant, for I do not forget thy commandments. |
