Psalm 119:89–104

ל Lamed

^89xForever, O Lord,

Your word ⁵is settled in heaven.

⁹⁰Your faithfulness endures to all generations;

You established the earth, and it ⁶abides.

⁹¹They continue this day according to ^yYour ordinances,

For all are Your servants.

⁹²Unless Your law had been my delight,

I would then have perished in my affliction.

⁹³I will never forget Your precepts,

For by them You have given me life.

⁹⁴I am Yours, save me;

For I have sought Your precepts.

⁹⁵The wicked wait for me to destroy me,

But I will ⁷consider Your testimonies.

^96zI have seen the consummation of all perfection,

But Your commandment is exceedingly broad.

מ‍ Mem

⁹⁷Oh, how I love Your law!

^aIt is my meditation all the day.

⁹⁸You, through Your commandments, make me ^bwiser than my enemies;

For they are ever with me.

⁹⁹I have more understanding than all my teachers,

^cFor Your testimonies are my meditation.

^100dI understand more than the ⁸ancients,

Because I keep Your precepts.

¹⁰¹I have restrained my feet from every evil way,

That I may keep Your word.

¹⁰²I have not departed from Your judgments,

For You Yourself have taught me.

^103eHow sweet are Your words to my taste,

Sweeter than honey to my mouth!

¹⁰⁴Through Your precepts I get understanding;

Therefore I hate every false way.
