Psalm 119:103-123
English Standard Version
103 How (A)sweet are your words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through your precepts I get understanding;
therefore (B)I hate every false way.
Nun
105 (C)Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.
106 I have (D)sworn an oath and confirmed it,
to keep your (E)righteous rules.
107 I am severely (F)afflicted;
(G)give me life, O Lord, according to your word!
108 Accept (H)my freewill offerings of praise, O Lord,
and (I)teach me your rules.
109 I hold my life (J)in my hand continually,
but I do not (K)forget your law.
110 The wicked have laid (L)a snare for me,
but (M)I do not stray from your precepts.
111 Your testimonies are (N)my heritage forever,
for they are (O)the joy of my heart.
112 I (P)incline my heart to perform your statutes
forever, (Q)to the end.[a]
Samekh
113 I hate (R)the double-minded,
but I love (S)your law.
114 You are my (T)hiding place and my (U)shield;
I (V)hope in your word.
115 (W)Depart from me, you evildoers,
that I may (X)keep the commandments of my God.
116 Uphold me (Y)according to your promise, that I may live,
and let me not be (Z)put to shame in my (AA)hope!
117 (AB)Hold me up, that I may be safe
and have regard for your statutes continually!
118 You (AC)spurn all who (AD)go astray from your statutes,
for their cunning is in vain.
119 All the wicked of the earth you discard like (AE)dross,
therefore (AF)I love your testimonies.
120 My flesh (AG)trembles for fear of you,
and I am afraid of your judgments.
Ayin
121 I have done what is just and right;
do not leave me to my oppressors.
122 Give your servant (AH)a pledge of good;
let not (AI)the insolent oppress me.
123 My (AJ)eyes long for your salvation
and for the fulfillment of your righteous promise.
