ESVEnglish Standard Version

Forever, O Lord, your word

is firmly fixed in the heavens.

Your faithfulness endures to all generations;

you have established the earth, and it stands fast.

By your appointment they stand this day,

for all things are your servants.

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.

Your word, Lord, is eternal;

it stands firm in the heavens.

Your faithfulness continues through all generations;

you established the earth, and it endures.

Your laws endure to this day,

for all things serve you.

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.

Lord, your word is forever;

it is firmly fixed in heaven.

Your faithfulness is for all generations;

you established the earth, and it stands firm.

Your judgments stand firm today,

for all things are your servants.

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

Your eternal word, O Lord,

stands firm in heaven.

Your faithfulness extends to every generation,

as enduring as the earth you created.

Your regulations remain true to this day,

for everything serves your plans.

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

Forever, O Yahweh,

your word is settled in heaven.

Your faithfulness endures throughout all generations.

You have established the earth and it stands.

By your ordinances they stand today,

for all are your servants.

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.
