Psalms 119:68-92
68
¶ Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
69
¶ The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
70
Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.
71
¶ It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
72
¶ The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
73
¶ JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
74
¶ They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.
75
¶ I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
76
¶ Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
77
Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
78
¶ Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
79
Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.
80
¶ Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.
81
¶ CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
82
Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
83
¶ For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.
84
¶ How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85
¶ The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.
86
All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
87
They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
88
¶ Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
89
¶ LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
90
Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
91
They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.
92
¶ Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
