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. |
