但我仍仰望你的话。
82 我仰望你的应许以致眼睛昏花，
我说：“你甚么时候才安慰我呢？”
83 我虽然好象烟熏的皮袋，
我却没有忘记你的律例。
84 你仆人的日子还有多少？
你甚么时候才向那些逼迫我的人施行审判呢？
85 傲慢人为我掘了坑，
他们就是那些不按着你律法而行的人。
86 你的一切命令都是可信靠的；
他们以诡诈逼迫我，求你帮助我。
87 他们几乎把我从世上除灭了；
至于我，我却没有离弃你的训词。

我仰望你的话。
115 作恶的人哪！你们离开我吧，
好让我遵守我 神的命令。
116 求你照着你的应许扶持我，使我存活；
不要使我因仰望你而蒙羞。
117 求你扶持我，我就必得救；
我必常常重视你的律例。

他们的诡诈是徒然的。
119 世上所有的恶人，你都把他们除灭，如同除去渣滓，
因此我喜爱你的法度。

我畏惧你的审判。
秉行 神律法确保福乐

פ Pe
129 Your covenant laws are wonderful.
So I obey them.
130 When your words are made clear, they bring light.
They bring understanding to childish people.
131 I open my mouth and pant like a dog,
because I long to know your commands.
132 Turn to me and have mercy on me.
That’s what you’ve always done for those who love you.
133 Teach me how to live as you have promised.
Don’t let any sin be my master.
134 Set me free from people who treat me badly.
Then I will obey your rules.
135 Have mercy on me.
Teach me your orders.
136 Streams of tears flow from my eyes,
because people don’t obey your law.

137 Lord, you do what is fair.
And your laws are right.
138 The laws you have made are fair.
They can be completely trusted.
139 My anger is wearing me out,
because my enemies don’t pay any attention to your words.
140 Your promises have proved to be true.
I love them.
141 I’m not important. People look down on me.
But I don’t forget to obey your rules.
142 You always do what is right.
And your law is true.

Help me to understand them. Then I will live.

I’ve put my hope in your word.
148 My eyes stay open all night long.
I spend my time thinking about your promises.
149 Listen to me, because you love me.
Lord, keep me alive as you have promised.
150 Those who think up evil plans are near.

All your commands are true.

that you made them to last forever.

All your laws are right. They last forever.
