for by them you have preserved my life.

94 Save me, for I am yours;

I have sought out your precepts.

95 The wicked are waiting to destroy me,

but I will ponder your statutes.

96 To all perfection I see a limit,

but your commands are boundless.

97 Oh, how I love your law!

I meditate on it all day long.

but I consider your testimonies.

96 I have seen a limit to all perfection,

but your commandment is exceedingly broad.

97 Oh how I love your law!

92 Unless thy law had been my delights,

I should then have perished in mine affliction.

93 I will never forget thy precepts:

For with them thou hast quickened me.

94 I am yours; rescue me!

For I have worked hard at obeying your commandments.

95 Though the wicked hide along the way to kill me,

I will quietly keep my mind on your laws.

96 Even perfection has its limits,

but your commands have no limit.

97 Oh, how I love your instructions!

95 For me the wicked lie in wait to destroy me.

I give attention to your testimonies.

96 I have seen a limit to every perfection;

your command is very broad.

97 How I love your law!

The whole day it is my meditation.

92 If I had not taken delight in your law,

I would have died because of my suffering.

94 Save me, because I belong to you.

I’ve tried to obey your rules.

95 Sinful people are waiting to destroy me.

But I will spend time thinking about your covenant laws.

96 I’ve learned that everything has its limits.

But your commands are perfect. They are always there when I need them.

97 Lord, I really love your law!

All day long I spend time thinking about it.

Then I would have perished in my affliction.

93 I will never forget Your precepts,

For by them You have revived me.

94 I am Yours, save me;

For I have sought Your precepts.

95 The wicked wait for me to destroy me;

I shall diligently consider Your testimonies.

96 I have seen a limit to all perfection;

Your commandment is exceedingly broad.

97 O how I love Your law!

It is my meditation all the day.
