Psalm 119:89–104

Lamedh

^89aForever, O Yahweh,

Your word stands firm in heaven.

⁹⁰Your ^afaithfulness endures ¹from generation to generation;

You ^bestablished the earth, and it ^cstands.

⁹¹They stand this day according to Your ^ajudgments,

For ^ball things are Your slaves.

⁹²If Your law had not been my ^adelight,

Then I would have perished ^bin my affliction.

⁹³I will ^anever forget Your precepts,

For by them You have ^1brevived me.

⁹⁴I am Yours, ^asave me;

For I have ^bsought Your precepts.

⁹⁵The wicked ^ahope for me—to destroy me;

I shall perceive Your testimonies.

⁹⁶I have seen ¹a limit to all perfection;

Your commandment is exceedingly broad.

Mem

⁹⁷Oh how I ^alove Your law!

It is my ^bmeditation all the day.

⁹⁸Your ^acommandments make me wiser than my enemies,

For they are ¹mine forever.

⁹⁹I have more insight than all my teachers,

For Your testimonies are my ^ameditation.

¹⁰⁰I perceive ^amore than the aged,

Because I have ^bobserved Your precepts.

¹⁰¹I have ^arestrained my feet from every evil way,

That I may keep Your word.

¹⁰²I have not ^aturned aside from Your judgments,

For You Yourself have taught me.

¹⁰³How ^asweet is Your ¹word to my ²taste!

Sweeter than honey to my mouth!

¹⁰⁴From Your precepts I ^aget perception;

Therefore I ^bhate every false way.
