Psalm 119:86-105

English Standard Version

⁸⁶ All your commandments are ^(A)sure;
    they persecute me ^(B)with falsehood; ^(C)help me!
⁸⁷ They have almost made an end of me on earth,
    but I have not forsaken your precepts.
⁸⁸ In your steadfast love ^(D)give me life,
    that I may keep the testimonies of your mouth.

⁸⁹ Forever, O Lord, your ^(E)word
    is firmly fixed in the heavens.
⁹⁰ Your ^(F)faithfulness endures to all generations;
    you have ^(G)established the earth, and it ^(H)stands fast.
⁹¹ By your ^(I)appointment they stand this day,
    for all things are your servants.
⁹² If your law had not been my ^(J)delight,
    I would have perished in my affliction.
⁹³ I will never forget your precepts,
    for by them you have ^(K)given me life.
⁹⁴ I am yours; save me,
    ^(L)for I have sought your precepts.
⁹⁵ The wicked lie in wait to destroy me,
    but I consider your testimonies.
⁹⁶ I have seen a limit to all perfection,
    but your commandment is exceedingly ^(M)broad.

⁹⁷ Oh how ^(N)I love your law!
    It is my ^(O)meditation all the day.
⁹⁸ Your commandment makes me ^(P)wiser than my enemies,
    for it is ever with me.
⁹⁹ I have more understanding than all my teachers,
    for ^(Q)your testimonies are my meditation.
¹⁰⁰ I understand more than ^(R)the aged,^[a]
    for I ^(S)keep your precepts.
¹⁰¹ I ^(T)hold back my feet from every evil way,
    in order to keep your word.
¹⁰² I do not turn aside from your rules,
    for you have taught me.
¹⁰³ How ^(U)sweet are your words to my taste,
    sweeter than honey to my mouth!
¹⁰⁴ Through your precepts I get understanding;
    therefore ^(V)I hate every false way.

^105 (W)Your word is a lamp to my feet
    and a light to my path.
