⁹² Unless Your law had been my delight,
I would then have perished in my affliction.

^22 (A)When you roam, ^[a]they will lead you;
When you sleep, ^(B)they will keep you;
And when you awake, they will speak with you.
^23 (C)For the commandment is a lamp,
And the law a light;
Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,

¹⁴³ Trouble and anguish have ^[a]overtaken me,
Yet Your commandments are my delights.

⁷⁷ Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live;
For Your law is my delight.

¹⁸ If I say, “My foot slips,”
Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up.
¹⁹ In the multitude of my anxieties within me,
Your comforts delight my soul.

²⁴ Your testimonies also are my delight
And my counselors.

¹³ I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
^(A)In the land of the living.
