105 (A)Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
106 (B)I have sworn and confirmed
That I will keep Your righteous judgments.
107 I am afflicted very much;
Revive me, O Lord, according to Your word.
108 Accept, I pray, (C)the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord,
And teach me Your judgments.
109 (D)My life is continually [a]in my hand,
Yet I do not forget Your law.
110 (E)The wicked have laid a snare for me,
Yet I have not strayed from Your precepts.
111 (F)Your testimonies I have taken as a [b]heritage forever,
For they are the rejoicing of my heart.
112 I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes
Forever, to the very end.

ס SAMEK

113 I hate the [c]double-minded,
But I love Your law.
114 (G)You are my hiding place and my shield;
I hope in Your word.
115 (H)Depart from me, you evildoers,
For I will keep the commandments of my God!
116 Uphold me according to Your word, that I may live;
And do not let me (I)be ashamed of my hope.
117 [d]Hold me up, and I shall be safe,
And I shall observe Your statutes continually.
118 You reject all those who stray from Your statutes,
For their deceit is falsehood.
119 You [e]put away all the wicked of the earth (J)like [f]dross;
Therefore I love Your testimonies.
120 (K)My flesh trembles for fear of You,
And I am afraid of Your judgments.
