Your laws endure to this day, for all things serve you.
92 (118-92) Unless thy law had been my meditation, I had then perhaps perished in my abjection.
92
If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.
93 (118-93) Thy justifications I will never forget: for by them thou hast given me life.

118
You reject all who stray from your decrees, for their delusions come to nothing.
119 (118-119) I have accounted all the sinners of the earth prevaricators: therefore have I loved thy testimonies.
119
All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross; therefore I love your statutes.
120 (118-120) Pierce thou my flesh with thy fear: for I am afraid of thy judgments.

138
The statutes you have laid down are righteous; they are fully trustworthy.
139 (118-139) My zeal hath made me pine away: because my enemies forgot thy words.
139
My zeal wears me out, for my enemies ignore your words.
140 (118-140) Thy word is exceedingly refined: and thy servant hath loved it.

144
Your statutes are always righteous; give me understanding that I may live.
145 (118-145) I cried with my whole heart, hear me, O Lord: I will seek thy justifications.
145
I call with all my heart; answer me, LORD, and I will obey your decrees.
146 (118-146) I cried unto thee, save me: that I may keep thy commandments.
146
I call out to you; save me and I will keep your statutes.
147 (118-147) I prevented the dawning of the day, and cried: because in thy words I very much hoped.
147
I rise before dawn and cry for help; I have put my hope in your word.
148 (118-148) My eyes to thee have prevented the morning: that I might meditate on thy words.
148
My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promises.
149 (118-149) Hear thou my voice, O Lord, according to thy mercy: and quicken me according to thy judgment.
149
Hear my voice in accordance with your love; preserve my life, LORD, according to your laws.
150 (118-150) They that persecute me have drawn nigh to iniquity; but they are gone far off from thy law.
150
Those who devise wicked schemes are near, but they are far from your law.
151 (118-151) Thou art near, O Lord: and all thy ways are truth.
151
Yet you are near, LORD, and all your commands are true.
152 (118-152) I have known from the beginning concerning thy testimonies: that thou hast founded them for ever.
152
Long ago I learned from your statutes that you established them to last forever.
153 (118-153) See my humiliation and deliver me for I have not forgotten thy law.
153
