⁸⁹Forever, O Lord, your ^oword

is firmly fixed in the heavens.

⁹⁰Your ^pfaithfulness endures to all generations;

you have ^qestablished the earth, and it ^rstands fast.

⁹¹By your ^sappointment they stand this day,

for all things are your servants.

⁹²If your law had not been my ^tdelight,

I would have perished in my affliction.

⁹³I will never forget your precepts,

for by them you have ^ugiven me life.

⁹⁴I am yours; save me,

^vfor I have sought your precepts.

⁹⁵The wicked lie in wait to destroy me,

but I consider your testimonies.

⁹⁶I have seen a limit to all perfection,

but your commandment is exceedingly ^wbroad.

⁹⁷Oh how ^xI love your law!

It is my ^ymeditation all the day.

⁹⁸Your commandment makes me ^zwiser than my enemies,

for it is ever with me.

⁹⁹I have more understanding than all my teachers,

for ^ayour testimonies are my meditation.

¹⁰⁰I understand more than ^bthe aged,⁸

for I ^ckeep your precepts.

¹⁰¹I ^dhold back my feet from every evil way,

in order to keep your word.

¹⁰²I do not turn aside from your rules,

for you have taught me.

¹⁰³How ^esweet are your words to my taste,

sweeter than honey to my mouth!

¹⁰⁴Through your precepts I get understanding;

therefore ^fI hate every false way.
