Psalm 119:89–176

89Your word, O LORD, is everlasting; it is firmly fixed in the heavens.

90Your faithfulness continues through all generations; You established the earth, and it endures.

91Your ordinances stand to this day, for all things are servants to You.

92If Your law had not been my delight, then I would have perished in my affliction.

93I will never forget Your precepts, for by them You have revived me.

94I am Yours; save me, for I have sought Your precepts.

95The wicked wait to destroy me, but I will ponder Your testimonies.

96I have seen a limit to all perfection, but Your commandment is without limit.

97Oh, how I love Your law! All day long it is my meditation.

98Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies, for they are always with me.

99I have more insight than all my teachers, for Your testimonies are my meditation.

100I discern more than the elders, for I obey Your precepts.

101I have kept my feet from every evil path, that I may keep Your word.

102I have not departed from Your ordinances, for You Yourself have taught me.

103How sweet are Your words to my taste— sweeter than honey in my mouth!

104I gain understanding from Your precepts; therefore I hate every false way.

105Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

106I have sworn and confirmed that I will keep Your righteous judgments.

107I am severely afflicted, O LORD; revive me through Your word.

108Accept the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me Your judgments.

109I constantly take my life in my hands, yet I do not forget Your law.

110The wicked have set a snare for me, but I have not strayed from Your precepts.

111Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.

112I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes, even to the very end.

113The double-minded I despise, but Your law I love.

114You are my hiding place and my shield; I put my hope in Your word.

115Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may obey the commandments of my God.

116Sustain me as You promised, that I may live; let me not be ashamed of my hope.

117Uphold me, and I will be saved, that I may always regard Your statutes.

118You reject all who stray from Your statutes, for their deceitfulness is in vain.

119All the wicked on earth You discard like dross; therefore I love Your testimonies.

120My flesh trembles in awe of You; I stand in fear of Your judgments.

121I have done what is just and right; do not leave me to my oppressors.

122Ensure Your servant’s well-being; do not let the arrogant oppress me.

123My eyes fail, looking for Your salvation, and for Your righteous promise.

124Deal with Your servant according to Your loving devotion, and teach me Your statutes.

125I am Your servant; give me understanding, that I may know Your testimonies.

126It is time for the LORD to act, for they have broken Your law.

127Therefore I love Your commandments more than gold, even the purest gold.

128Therefore I admire all Your precepts and hate every false way.

129Wonderful are Your testimonies; therefore I obey them.

130The unfolding of Your words gives light; it informs the simple.

131I open my mouth and pant, longing for Your commandments.

132Turn to me and show me mercy, as You do to those who love Your name.

133Order my steps in Your word; let no sin rule over me.

134Redeem me from the oppression of man, that I may keep Your precepts.

135Make Your face shine upon Your servant, and teach me Your statutes.

136My eyes shed streams of tears because Your law is not obeyed.

137Righteous are You, O LORD, and upright are Your judgments.

138The testimonies You have laid down are righteous and altogether faithful.

139My zeal has consumed me because my foes forget Your words.

140Your promise is completely pure; therefore Your servant loves it.

141I am lowly and despised, but I do not forget Your precepts.

142Your righteousness is everlasting and Your law is true.

143Trouble and distress have found me, but Your commandments are my delight.

144Your testimonies are righteous forever. Give me understanding, that I may live.

145I call with all my heart; answer me, O LORD! I will obey Your statutes.

146I call to You; save me, that I may keep Your testimonies.

147I rise before dawn and cry for help; in Your word I have put my hope.

148My eyes anticipate the watches of night, that I may meditate on Your word.

149Hear my voice, O LORD, according to Your loving devotion; give me life according to Your justice.

150Those who follow after wickedness draw near; they are far from Your law.

151You are near, O LORD, and all Your commandments are true.

152Long ago I learned from Your testimonies that You have established them forever.

153Look upon my affliction and rescue me, for I have not forgotten Your law.

154Defend my cause and redeem me; revive me according to Your word.

155Salvation is far from the wicked because they do not seek Your statutes.

156Great are Your mercies, O LORD; revive me according to Your ordinances.

157Though my persecutors and foes are many, I have not turned from Your testimonies.

158I look on the faithless with loathing because they do not keep Your word.

159Consider how I love Your precepts, O LORD; give me life according to Your loving devotion.

160The entirety of Your word is truth, and all Your righteous judgments endure forever.

161Rulers persecute me without cause, but my heart fears only Your word.

162I rejoice in Your promise like one who finds great spoil.

163I hate and abhor falsehood, but Your law I love.

164Seven times a day I praise You for Your righteous judgments.

165Abundant peace belongs to those who love Your law; nothing can make them stumble.

166I wait for Your salvation, O LORD, and I carry out Your commandments.

167I obey Your testimonies and love them greatly.

168I obey Your precepts and Your testimonies, for all my ways are before You.

169May my cry come before You, O LORD; give me understanding according to Your word.

170May my plea come before You; rescue me according to Your promise.

171My lips pour forth praise, for You teach me Your statutes.

172My tongue sings of Your word, for all Your commandments are righteous.

173May Your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen Your precepts.

174I long for Your salvation, O LORD, and Your law is my delight.

175Let me live to praise You; may Your judgments sustain me.

176I have strayed like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, for I have not forgotten Your commandments.
