Lord, your word is for ever :
it stands firm in the heavens.
Your faithfulness abides from one generation to another :
firm as the earth which you have made.
As for your judgements, they stand fast this day :
for all things are your servants.
If your law had not been my delight :
I would have perished in my affliction.
I will never forget your precepts :
for by them you have given me life.
I am yours, O save me :
for I have sought your precepts.
The wicked have lain in wait for me to destroy me :
but I think on your commands.
I have seen that all perfection comes to an end :
only your commandment has no bounds.
Lord, how I love your law :
it is my meditation all the day long.
Your commandments have made me wiser than my enemies :
for they remain with me for ever.
I have more understanding than all my teachers :
for I study your commands.
I am wiser than the aged :
because I have kept your precepts.
I have held back my feet from every evil path :
that I might keep your word;
I have not turned aside from your judgements :
for you yourself are my teacher.
How sweet are your words to my tongue :
sweeter than honey to my mouth.
Through your precepts I get understanding :
therefore I hate all lying ways.
