So I will meditate on Your wonders.

My soul is crushed with longing
After Your ordinances at all times.

And turned my feet to Your testimonies.

I have seen a limit to all perfection;
Your commandment is exceedingly broad.

Your faithfulness continues throughout all generations;
You established the earth, and it stands.

If Your law had not been my delight,
Then I would have perished in my affliction.

I wait for Your words.

You are near, O Lord,
And all Your commandments are truth.

To keep Your statutes!

They also do no unrighteousness;
They walk in His ways.

Your statutes are my songs
In the house of my pilgrimage.

For they have broken Your law.

And do not take the word of truth utterly out of my mouth,
For I wait for Your ordinances.

When I look upon all Your commandments.

For by them You have revived me.

I will also speak of Your testimonies before kings
And shall not be ashamed.

I hastened and did not delay
To keep Your commandments.

So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me,
For I trust in Your word.

You have rejected all those who wander from Your statutes,
For their deceitfulness is useless.

Depart from me, evildoers,
That I may observe the commandments of my God.

Remove the false way from me,
And graciously grant me Your law.

You rebuke the arrogant, the cursed,
Who wander from Your commandments.

Take away reproach and contempt from me,
For I observe Your testimonies.

At midnight I shall rise to give thanks to You
Because of Your righteous ordinances.

Therefore I love Your testimonies.

Sustain me according to Your word, that I may live;
And do not let me be ashamed of my hope.

Above gold, yes, above fine gold.

O may Your lovingkindness comfort me,
According to Your word to Your servant.

Even though princes sit and talk against me,
Your servant meditates on Your statutes.

All the ordinances of Your mouth.

But I shall meditate on Your precepts.

For all things are Your servants.

With all my heart I will observe Your precepts.

May Your compassion come to me that I may live,
For Your law is my delight.

Behold, I long for Your precepts;
Revive me through Your righteousness.

I cling to Your testimonies;
O Lord, do not put me to shame!

I opened my mouth wide and panted,
For I longed for Your commandments.

O accept the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord,
And teach me Your ordinances.

I have remembered Your ordinances from of old, O Lord,
And comfort myself.

Your testimonies are righteous forever;
Give me understanding that I may live.

I behold the treacherous and loathe them,
Because they do not keep Your word.

I sought Your favor with all my heart;
Be gracious to me according to Your word.

My zeal has consumed me,
Because my adversaries have forgotten Your words.

Consider how I love Your precepts;
Revive me, O Lord, according to Your lovingkindness.

Let my supplication come before You;
Deliver me according to Your word.

Salvation is far from the wicked,
For they do not seek Your statutes.

Plead my cause and redeem me;
Revive me according to Your word.

Be surety for Your servant for good;
Do not let the arrogant oppress me.

So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth.

But I have not forgotten Your law.

Turn away my reproach which I dread,
For Your ordinances are good.

I hope for Your salvation, O Lord,
And do Your commandments.

The arrogant have dug pits for me,
Men who are not in accord with Your law.

Their heart is covered with fat,
But I delight in Your law.

My eyes fail with longing for Your word,
While I say, “When will You comfort me?”

Let my soul live that it may praise You,
And let Your ordinances help me.

You have commanded Your testimonies in righteousness
And exceeding faithfulness.

I long for Your salvation, O Lord,
And Your law is my delight.

Uphold me that I may be safe,
That I may have regard for Your statutes continually.

O Lord, I remember Your name in the night,
And keep Your law.

I am Yours, save me;
For I have sought Your precepts.

Redeem me from the oppression of man,
That I may keep Your precepts.

Many are my persecutors and my adversaries,
Yet I do not turn aside from Your testimonies.

My soul keeps Your testimonies,
And I love them exceedingly.

This has become mine,
That I observe Your precepts.

Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness;
Revive me, O Lord, according to Your ordinances.

The wicked have laid a snare for me,
Yet I have not gone astray from Your precepts.

My life is continually in my hand,
Yet I do not forget Your law.

Great are Your mercies, O Lord;
Revive me according to Your ordinances.

How many are the days of Your servant?
When will You execute judgment on those who persecute me?

The wicked wait for me to destroy me;
I shall diligently consider Your testimonies.

They almost destroyed me on earth,
But as for me, I did not forsake Your precepts.

I cried to You; save me
And I shall keep Your testimonies.

May those who fear You turn to me,
Even those who know Your testimonies.
