Psalm 119:86-96

New Living Translation

⁸⁶ All your commands are trustworthy.
    Protect me from those who hunt me down without cause.
⁸⁷ They almost finished me off,
    but I refused to abandon your commandments.
⁸⁸ In your unfailing love, spare my life;
    then I can continue to obey your laws.

⁸⁹ Your eternal word, O Lord,
    stands firm in heaven.
⁹⁰ Your faithfulness extends to every generation,
    as enduring as the earth you created.
⁹¹ Your regulations remain true to this day,
    for everything serves your plans.
⁹² If your instructions hadn’t sustained me with joy,
    I would have died in my misery.
⁹³ I will never forget your commandments,
    for by them you give me life.
⁹⁴ I am yours; rescue me!
    For I have worked hard at obeying your commandments.
⁹⁵ Though the wicked hide along the way to kill me,
    I will quietly keep my mind on your laws.
⁹⁶ Even perfection has its limits,
    but your commands have no limit.
