Your word stands in heaven.
90 Your (B)faithfulness continues [a]throughout generations;
You (C)established the earth, and it (D)stands.
91 They stand this day by Your (E)ordinances,
For (F)all things are Your servants.

93 I will (I)never forget Your precepts,
For by them You have [b](J)revived me.
94 I am Yours, (K)save me;
For I have (L)sought Your precepts.
95 The wicked (M)wait for me to destroy me;
I will diligently consider Your testimonies.
96 I have seen [c]a limit to all perfection;
Your commandment is exceedingly broad.

89 
Forever, O Lord,
Your word is settled in heaven [standing firm and unchangeable].(A)
90 
Your faithfulness continues from generation to generation;
You have established the earth, and it stands [securely].
91 
They continue this day according to Your ordinances,
For all things [all parts of the universe] are Your servants.(B)
92 
If Your law had not been my delight,
Then I would have perished in my time of trouble.
93 
I will never forget Your precepts,
For by them You have revived me and given me life.
94 
I am Yours, save me [as Your own];
For I have [diligently] sought Your precepts and required them [as my greatest need].(C)
95 
The wicked wait for me to destroy me,
But I will consider Your testimonies.
96 
I have seen that all [human] perfection has its limits [no matter how grand and perfect and noble];
Your commandment is exceedingly broad and extends without limits [into eternity].(D)

89 Para sempre, ó Senhor, a tua palavra permanece no céu. 90 A tua fidelidade estende-se de geração a geração; tu firmaste a terra, e firme permanece. 91 Conforme o que ordenaste, tudo se mantém até hoje; porque todas as coisas te obedecem. 92 Se a tua lei não fora toda a minha alegria, há muito que teria perecido na minha angústia. 93 Nunca me esquecerei dos teus preceitos, pois por eles me tens vivificado. 94 Sou teu, salva-me; pois tenho buscado os teus preceitos. 95 Os ímpios me esperam para me destruírem, mas eu atentarei para os teus testemunhos. 96 A toda perfeição vi limite, mas o teu mandamento é amplíssimo.

89 A tua palavra, Senhor,
    para sempre está firmada nos céus.
90 A tua fidelidade é constante
    por todas as gerações;
estabeleceste a terra, que firme subsiste.
91 Conforme as tuas ordens,
    tudo permanece até hoje[a],
pois tudo está a teu serviço.
92 Se a tua lei não fosse o meu prazer,
o sofrimento já me teria destruído.
93 Jamais me esquecerei dos teus preceitos,
pois é por meio deles
    que preservas a minha vida.
94 Salva-me, pois a ti pertenço
    e busco os teus preceitos!
95 Os ímpios estão à espera para destruir-me,
mas eu considero os teus testemunhos.
96 Tenho constatado
    que toda perfeição tem limite;
mas não há limite para o teu mandamento.
