100 I understand (A)more than those who are old,
Because I have (B)complied with Your precepts.
101 I have (C)restrained my feet from every evil way,
So that I may keep Your word.
102 I have not (D)turned aside from Your judgments,
For You Yourself have taught me.
103 How (E)sweet are Your [a]words to my [b]taste!
Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 From Your precepts I (F)get understanding;
Therefore I (G)hate every false way.

105 Your word is a (H)lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
106 I have (I)sworn and I will confirm it,
That I will keep Your righteous judgments.
107 I am exceedingly (J)afflicted;
[c](K)Revive me, Lord, according to Your word.
108 Be pleased to accept the (L)[d]voluntary offerings of my mouth, Lord,
And (M)teach me Your judgments.
109 My [e](N)life is continually [f]in my hand,
Yet I do not (O)forget Your Law.
110 The wicked have (P)set a [g]trap for me,
Yet I have not (Q)wandered from Your precepts.
111 I have (R)inherited Your testimonies forever,
For they are the (S)joy of my heart.
112 I have (T)inclined my heart to perform Your statutes
Forever, even (U)to the end.

Samekh

113 I hate those who are (V)double-minded,
But I love Your (W)Law.
114 You are my (X)hiding place and my (Y)shield;
I [h](Z)wait for Your word.
115 (AA)Leave me, you evildoers,
So that I may (AB)comply with the commandments of my God.
116 (AC)Sustain me according to Your [i]word, that I may live;
And (AD)do not let me be [j]ashamed of my hope.
117 Sustain me so that I may be (AE)safe,
That I may (AF)have regard for Your statutes continually.
118 You have [k]rejected all those (AG)who stray from Your statutes,
For their deceitfulness is [l]useless.
119 You have [m]removed all the wicked of the earth like [n](AH)impurities;
Therefore I (AI)love Your testimonies.
120 My flesh [o](AJ)trembles from the fear of You,
And I am (AK)afraid of Your judgments.
