I have seen, O Lord, that your decisions are right, and that in unchanging faith you have sent trouble on me. Let your mercy now be my comfort, as you have said to your servant.

Let the men of pride be shamed; because they have falsely given decision against me; but I will give thought to your orders. Let your worshippers be turned to me, and those who have knowledge of your words. Let all my heart be given to your orders, so that I may not be put to shame.

For I have become like a wine-skin black with smoke; but I still keep the memory of your rules. How short is the life of your servant! when will you give your decision against those who are attacking me? The men of pride, who are turned away from your law, have put nets for me. All your teachings are certain; they go after me with evil design; give me your help. They had almost put an end to me on earth; but I did not give up your orders. Give me life in your mercy; so that I may be ruled by the unchanging word of your mouth. For ever, O Lord, your word is fixed in heaven. Your faith is unchanging from generation to generation: you have put the earth in its place, and it is not moved. They are ruled this day by your decisions; for all things are your servants. If your law had not been my delight, my troubles would have put an end to me. I will ever keep your orders in mind; for in them I have life. I am yours, O be my saviour; for my desire has been for your rules. The sinners have been waiting for me to give me up to destruction; but I will give all my mind to your unchanging ward. I have seen that nothing on earth is complete; but your teaching is very wide. O what love I have for your law! I give thought to it all the day. Your teaching has made me wiser than my haters: for it is mine for ever. I have more knowledge than all my teachers, because I give thought to your unchanging word. I have more wisdom than the old, because I have kept your orders. I have kept back my feet from all evil ways, so that I might be true to your word. My heart has not been turned away from your decisions; for you have been my teacher. How sweet are your sayings to my taste! truly, they are sweeter than honey in my mouth! Through your orders I get wisdom; for this reason I am a hater of every false way. Your word is a light for my feet, ever shining on my way. I have made an oath and kept it, to be guided by your upright decisions. I am greatly troubled, O Lord, give me life in keeping with your word. Take, O Lord, the free offerings of my mouth, and give me knowledge of your decisions. My soul is ever in danger; but I still keep the memory of your law. Sinners have put a net to take me; but I was true to your orders. I have taken your unchanging word as an eternal heritage; for it is the joy of my heart. My heart is ever ready to keep your rules, even to the end. I am a hater of men of doubting mind; but I am a lover of your law. You are my secret place and my breastplate against danger; my hope is in your word. Go far from me, you evil-doers; so that I may keep the teachings of my God. Be my support as you have said, and give me life; let not my hope be turned to shame. Let me not be moved, and I will be safe, and ever take delight in your rules. You have overcome all those who are wandering from your rules; for all their thoughts are false. All the sinners of the earth are like waste metal in your eyes; and for this cause I give my love to your unchanging word. My flesh is moved for fear of you; I give honour to your decisions. I have done what is good and right: you will not give me into the hands of those who are working against me. Take your servant's interests into your keeping; let me not be crushed by the men of pride. My eyes are wasted with desire for your salvation, and for the word of your righteousness. Be good to your servant in your mercy, and give me teaching in your rules. I am your servant; give me wisdom, so that I may have knowledge of your unchanging word. It is time, O Lord, for you to let your work be seen; for they have made your law without effect. For this reason I have greater love far your teachings than for gold, even for shining gold.
