Psalm 119:81-112

New International Version

⁸¹ My soul faints^(A) with longing for your salvation,^(B)
    but I have put my hope^(C) in your word.
⁸² My eyes fail,^(D) looking for your promise;^(E)
    I say, “When will you comfort me?”
⁸³ Though I am like a wineskin in the smoke,
    I do not forget^(F) your decrees.
⁸⁴ How long^(G) must your servant wait?
    When will you punish my persecutors?^(H)
85 The arrogant^(I) dig pits^(J) to trap me,
    contrary to your law.
⁸⁶ All your commands are trustworthy;^(K)
    help me,^(L) for I am being persecuted^(M) without cause.^(N)
87 They almost wiped me from the earth,
    but I have not forsaken^(O) your precepts.
⁸⁸ In your unfailing love^(P) preserve my life,^(Q)
    that I may obey the statutes^(R) of your mouth.

⁸⁹ Your word, Lord, is eternal;^(S)
    it stands firm in the heavens.
⁹⁰ Your faithfulness^(T) continues through all generations;^(U)
    you established the earth, and it endures.^(V)
91 Your laws endure^(W) to this day,
    for all things serve you.^(X)
92 If your law had not been my delight,^(Y)
    I would have perished in my affliction.^(Z)
93 I will never forget^(AA) your precepts,
    for by them you have preserved my life.^(AB)
94 Save me,^(AC) for I am yours;
    I have sought out your precepts.^(AD)
95 The wicked are waiting to destroy me,^(AE)
    but I will ponder your statutes.^(AF)
96 To all perfection I see a limit,
    but your commands are boundless.^(AG)

⁹⁷ Oh, how I love your law!^(AH)
    I meditate^(AI) on it all day long.
⁹⁸ Your commands are always with me
    and make me wiser^(AJ) than my enemies.
⁹⁹ I have more insight than all my teachers,
    for I meditate on your statutes.^(AK)
100 I have more understanding than the elders,
    for I obey your precepts.^(AL)
101 I have kept my feet^(AM) from every evil path
    so that I might obey your word.^(AN)
102 I have not departed from your laws,^(AO)
    for you yourself have taught^(AP) me.
¹⁰³ How sweet are your words to my taste,
    sweeter than honey^(AQ) to my mouth!^(AR)
104 I gain understanding^(AS) from your precepts;
    therefore I hate every wrong path.^(AT)

¹⁰⁵ Your word is a lamp^(AU) for my feet,
    a light^(AV) on my path.
¹⁰⁶ I have taken an oath^(AW) and confirmed it,
    that I will follow your righteous laws.^(AX)
107 I have suffered much;
    preserve my life,^(AY) Lord, according to your word.
¹⁰⁸ Accept, Lord, the willing praise of my mouth,^(AZ)
    and teach me your laws.^(BA)
109 Though I constantly take my life in my hands,^(BB)
    I will not forget^(BC) your law.
¹¹⁰ The wicked have set a snare^(BD) for me,
    but I have not strayed^(BE) from your precepts.
¹¹¹ Your statutes are my heritage forever;
    they are the joy of my heart.^(BF)
112 My heart is set^(BG) on keeping your decrees
    to the very end.^[a](BH)
