⁹² Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.

⁴ For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

²² When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

²³ For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

¹⁸ When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up.

¹⁹ In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.

¹⁴³ Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.

⁷⁷ Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.

²⁴ Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.

¹³ I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
