[119:49] Remember your promise to me, your servant; it has given me hope.

[119:50] Even in my suffering I was comforted because your promise gave me life.

[119:51] The proud are always scornful of me, but I have not departed from your law.

[119:52] I remember your judgments of long ago, and they bring me comfort, O Lord.

[119:53] When I see the wicked breaking your law, I am filled with anger.

[119:54] During my brief earthly life I compose songs about your commands.

[119:55] In the night I remember you, Lord, and I think about your law.

[119:56] I find my happiness in obeying your commands.

[119:57] You are all I want, O Lord; I promise to obey your laws.

[119:58] I ask you with all my heart to have mercy on me, as you have promised!

[119:59] I have considered my conduct, and I promise to follow your instructions.

[119:60] Without delay I hurry to obey your commands.

[119:61] The wicked have laid a trap for me, but I do not forget your law.

[119:62] In the middle of the night I wake up to praise you for your righteous judgments.

[119:63] I am a friend of all who serve you, of all who obey your laws.

[119:64] Lord, the earth is full of your constant love; teach me your commandments.

[119:65] You have kept your promise, Lord, and you are good to me, your servant.

[119:66] Give me wisdom and knowledge, because I trust in your commands.

[119:67] Before you punished me, I used to go wrong, but now I obey your word.

[119:68] How good you are—how kind! Teach me your commands.

[119:69] The proud have told lies about me, but with all my heart I obey your instructions.

[119:70] They have no understanding, but I find pleasure in your law.

[119:71] My punishment was good for me, because it made me learn your commands.

[119:72] The law that you gave means more to me than all the money in the world.

[119:73] You created me, and you keep me safe; give me understanding, so that I may learn your laws.

[119:74] Those who honor you will be glad when they see me, because I trust in your promise.

[119:75] I know that your judgments are righteous, Lord, and that you punished me because you are faithful.

[119:76] Let your constant love comfort me, as you have promised me, your servant.

[119:77] Have mercy on me, and I will live because I take pleasure in your law.

[119:78] May the proud be ashamed for falsely accusing me; as for me, I will meditate on your instructions.

[119:79] May those who honor you come to me— all those who know your commands.

[119:80] May I perfectly obey your commandments and be spared the shame of defeat.

[119:81] I am worn out, Lord, waiting for you to save me; I place my trust in your word.

[119:82] My eyes are tired from watching for what you promised, while I ask, “When will you help me?”

[119:83] I am as useless as a discarded wineskin; yet I have not forgotten your commands.

[119:84] How much longer must I wait? When will you punish those who persecute me?

[119:85] The proud, who do not obey your law, have dug pits to trap me.

[119:86] Your commandments are all trustworthy; people persecute me with lies—help me!

[119:87] They have almost succeeded in killing me, but I have not neglected your commands.

[119:88] Because of your constant love be good to me, so that I may obey your laws.

[119:89] Your word, O Lord, will last forever; it is eternal in heaven.

[119:90] Your faithfulness endures through all the ages; you have set the earth in place, and it remains.

[119:91] All things remain to this day because of your command, because they are all your servants.

[119:92] If your law had not been the source of my joy, I would have died from my sufferings.

[119:93] I will never neglect your instructions, because by them you have kept me alive.

[119:94] I am yours—save me! I have tried to obey your commands.

[119:95] The wicked are waiting to kill me, but I will meditate on your laws.

[119:96] I have learned that everything has limits; but your commandment is perfect.

[119:97] How I love your law! I think about it all day long.

[119:98] Your commandment is with me all the time and makes me wiser than my enemies.

[119:99] I understand more than all my teachers, because I meditate on your instructions.

[119:100] I have greater wisdom than those who are old, because I obey your commands.

[119:101] I have avoided all evil conduct, because I want to obey your word.

[119:102] I have not neglected your instructions, because you yourself are my teacher.

[119:103] How sweet is the taste of your instructions— sweeter even than honey!

[119:104] I gain wisdom from your laws, and so I hate all bad conduct.

[119:105] Your word is a lamp to guide me and a light for my path.

[119:106] I will keep my solemn promise to obey your just instructions.

[119:107] My sufferings, Lord, are terrible indeed; keep me alive, as you have promised.

[119:108] Accept my prayer of thanks, O Lord, and teach me your commands.

[119:109] I am always ready to risk my life; I have not forgotten your law.

[119:110] The wicked lay a trap for me, but I have not disobeyed your commands.

[119:111] Your commandments are my eternal possession; they are the joy of my heart.

[119:112] I have decided to obey your laws until the day I die.

[119:113] I hate those who are not completely loyal to you, but I love your law.

[119:114] You are my defender and protector; I put my hope in your promise.

[119:115] Go away from me, you sinful people. I will obey the commands of my God.

[119:116] Give me strength, as you promised, and I shall live; don't let me be disappointed in my hope!

[119:117] Hold me, and I will be safe, and I will always pay attention to your commands.

[119:118] You reject everyone who disobeys your laws; their deceitful schemes are useless.

[119:119] You treat all the wicked like rubbish, and so I love your instructions.

[119:120] Because of you I am afraid; I am filled with fear because of your judgments.

[119:121] I have done what is right and good; don't abandon me to my enemies!

[119:122] Promise that you will help your servant; don't let the arrogant oppress me!

[119:123] My eyes are tired from watching for your saving help, for the deliverance you promised.

[119:124] Treat me according to your constant love, and teach me your commands.

[119:125] I am your servant; give me understanding, so that I may know your teachings.

[119:126] Lord, it is time for you to act, because people are disobeying your law.

[119:127] I love your commands more than gold, more than the finest gold.

[119:128] And so I follow all your instructions; I hate all wrong ways.
