[119:51] The insolent utterly deride me, but I do not turn away from your law.
[119:52] When I think of your rules from of old, I take comfort, O Lord.
[119:53] Hot indignation seizes me because of the wicked, who forsake your law.
[119:54] Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my sojourning.
[119:55] I remember your name in the night, O Lord, and keep your law.
[119:56] This blessing has fallen to me, that I have kept your precepts.

[119:67] Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your word.
[119:68] You are good and do good; teach me your statutes.
[119:69] The insolent smear me with lies, but with my whole heart I keep your precepts;
[119:70] their heart is unfeeling like fat, but I delight in your law.
[119:71] It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes.
[119:72] The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
[119:73] Your hands have made and fashioned me; give me understanding that I may learn your commandments.
[119:74] Those who fear you shall see me and rejoice, because I have hoped in your word.

[119:81] My soul longs for your salvation; I hope in your word.
[119:82] My eyes long for your promise; I ask, “When will you comfort me?”
[119:83] For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke, yet I have not forgotten your statutes.
[119:84] How long must your servant endure? When will you judge those who persecute me?
[119:85] The insolent have dug pitfalls for me; they do not live according to your law.
[119:86] All your commandments are sure; they persecute me with falsehood; help me!
[119:87] They have almost made an end of me on earth, but I have not forsaken your precepts.
[119:88] In your steadfast love give me life, that I may keep the testimonies of your mouth.
[119:89] Forever, O Lord, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens.
[119:90] Your faithfulness endures to all generations; you have established the earth, and it stands fast.
[119:91] By your appointment they stand this day, for all things are your servants.
[119:92] If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.
[119:93] I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have given me life.
[119:94] I am yours; save me, for I have sought your precepts.
[119:95] The wicked lie in wait to destroy me, but I consider your testimonies.
[119:96] I have seen a limit to all perfection, but your commandment is exceedingly broad.
[119:97] Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day.

[119:103] How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
[119:104] Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.
[119:105] Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
[119:106] I have sworn an oath and confirmed it, to keep your righteous rules.
[119:107] I am severely afflicted; give me life, O Lord, according to your word!
[119:108] Accept my freewill offerings of praise, O Lord, and teach me your rules.
[119:109] I hold my life in my hand continually, but I do not forget your law.
[119:110] The wicked have laid a snare for me, but I do not stray from your precepts.
[119:111] Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.

[119:115] Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God.
[119:116] Uphold me according to your promise, that I may live, and let me not be put to shame in my hope!
[119:117] Hold me up, that I may be safe and have regard for your statutes continually!
[119:118] You spurn all who go astray from your statutes, for their cunning is in vain.
[119:119] All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross, therefore I love your testimonies.
[119:120] My flesh trembles for fear of you, and I am afraid of your judgments.
[119:121] I have done what is just and right; do not leave me to my oppressors.
[119:122] Give your servant a pledge of good; let not the insolent oppress me.
[119:123] My eyes long for your salvation and for the fulfillment of your righteous promise.
[119:124] Deal with your servant according to your steadfast love, and teach me your statutes.
[119:125] I am your servant; give me understanding, that I may know your testimonies!
[119:126] It is time for the Lord to act, for your law has been broken.
[119:127] Therefore I love your commandments above gold, above fine gold.
[119:128] Therefore I consider all your precepts to be right; I hate every false way.
[119:129] Your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soul keeps them.
[119:130] The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.
[119:131] I open my mouth and pant, because I long for your commandments.
[119:132] Turn to me and be gracious to me, as is your way with those who love your name.

[119:137] Righteous are you, O Lord, and right are your rules.
[119:138] You have appointed your testimonies in righteousness and in all faithfulness.
[119:139] My zeal consumes me, because my foes forget your words.
[119:140] Your promise is well tried, and your servant loves it.

[119:151] But you are near, O Lord, and all your commandments are true.
[119:152] Long have I known from your testimonies that you have founded them forever.
