Psalm 119:89–104

⁸⁹For ever, O Lord, thy word

is firmly fixed in the heavens.

⁹⁰Thy faithfulness endures to all generations;

thou hast established the earth, and it stands fast.

⁹¹By thy appointment they stand this day;

for all things are thy servants.

⁹²If thy law had not been my delight,

I should have perished in my affliction.

⁹³I will never forget thy precepts;

for by them thou hast given me life.

⁹⁴I am thine, save me;

for I have sought thy precepts.

⁹⁵The wicked lie in wait to destroy me;

but I consider thy testimonies.

⁹⁶I have seen a limit to all perfection,

but thy commandment is exceedingly broad.

⁹⁷Oh, how I love thy law!

It is my meditation all the day.

⁹⁸Thy commandment makes me wiser than my enemies,

for it is ever with me.

⁹⁹I have more understanding than all my teachers,

for thy testimonies are my meditation.

¹⁰⁰I understand more than the aged,

for I keep thy precepts.

¹⁰¹I hold back my feet from every evil way,

in order to keep thy word.

¹⁰²I do not turn aside from thy ordinances,

for thou hast taught me.

¹⁰³How sweet are thy words to my taste,

sweeter than honey to my mouth!

¹⁰⁴Through thy precepts I get understanding;

therefore I hate every false way.
