Psalm 119:89–104

⁸⁹Lord, your word is everlasting;

it continues forever in heaven.

⁹⁰Your loyalty will go on and on;

you made the earth, and it still stands.

⁹¹All things continue to this day because of your laws,

because all things serve you.

⁹²If I had not loved your teachings,

I would have died from my sufferings.

⁹³I will never forget your orders,

because you have given me life by them.

⁹⁴I am yours. Save me.

I want to obey your orders.

⁹⁵Wicked people are waiting to destroy me,

but I will think about your rules.

⁹⁶Everything I see has its limits,

but your commands have none.

⁹⁷How I love your teachings!

I think about them all day long.

⁹⁸Your commands make me wiser than my enemies,

because they are mine forever.

⁹⁹I am wiser than all my teachers,

because I think about your rules.

¹⁰⁰I have more understanding than the elders,

because I follow your orders.

¹⁰¹I have avoided every evil way

so I could obey your word.

¹⁰²I haven’t walked away from your laws,

because you yourself are my teacher.

¹⁰³Your promises are sweet to me,

sweeter than honey in my mouth!

¹⁰⁴Your orders give me understanding,

so I hate lying ways.
