92If your teachings had not made me happy, 

then I would have died in my misery. 

93I will never forget your guiding principles, 

because you gave me a new life through them. 

94I am yours. 

Save me, because I have searched for your guiding principles. 

95The wicked people have waited for me in order to destroy me, 

⸤yet⸥ I want to understand your written instructions. 

96I have seen a limit to everything else, 

⸤but⸥ your commandments have no limit.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

If your law had not been my delight,

I would have perished in my affliction.

I will never forget your precepts,

for by them you have given me life.

I am yours; save me,

for I have sought your precepts.

The wicked lie in wait to destroy me,

but I consider your testimonies.

I have seen a limit to all perfection,

but your commandment is exceedingly broad.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

If your law had not been my delight,

I would have perished in my affliction.

I will never forget your precepts,

for by them you have preserved my life.

Save me, for I am yours;

I have sought out your precepts.

The wicked are waiting to destroy me,

but I will ponder your statutes.

To all perfection I see a limit,

but your commands are boundless.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

If your instruction had not been my delight,

I would have died in my affliction.

I will never forget your precepts,

for you have given me life through them.

I am yours; save me,

for I have studied your precepts.

The wicked hope to destroy me,

but I contemplate your decrees.

I have seen a limit to all perfection,

but your command is without limit.

NLTNew Living Translation

If your instructions hadn’t sustained me with joy,

I would have died in my misery.

I will never forget your commandments,

for by them you give me life.

I am yours; rescue me!

For I have worked hard at obeying your commandments.

Though the wicked hide along the way to kill me,

I will quietly keep my mind on your laws.

Even perfection has its limits,

but your commands have no limit.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Unless your law had been my delight,

then I would have perished in my misery.

I will not ever forget your precepts,

for by them you revive me.

I am yours. Save me,

for I have sought your precepts.

For me the wicked lie in wait to destroy me.

I give attention to your testimonies.

I have seen a limit to every perfection;

your command is very broad.

KJV 1900King James Version

Unless thy law had been my delights,

I should then have perished in mine affliction.

I will never forget thy precepts:

For with them thou hast quickened me.

I am thine, save me;

For I have sought thy precepts.

The wicked have waited for me to destroy me:

But I will consider thy testimonies.

I have seen an end of all perfection:

But thy commandment is exceeding broad.
