Psalm 119:81-104 (EHV)



See series: Through My Bible

⁸¹ My soul is worn out, as I wait for your salvation.

I wait confidently for your word.

⁸² My eyes are worn out, as I look for your sayings.

I say, “When will you comfort me?”

⁸³ Though I am like a wineskin in the smoke,

I do not forget your statutes.

⁸⁴ How many days does your servant have?

When will you inflict judgment on my persecutors?

⁸⁵ The arrogant dig pits for me.

This is against your laws.

⁸⁶ All your commandments are trustworthy.

The arrogant persecute me wrongfully. Help me.

⁸⁷ They almost put an end to me here on earth,

but I have not forsaken your precepts.

⁸⁸ Give me life according to your mercy,

and I will obey the testimony from your mouth.

⁸⁹ To eternity, O Lord, your word is fixed firmly in the heavens.

⁹⁰ For generation after generation, your faithfulness remains.

You established the earth, and it stands.

⁹¹ As for your judgments, they stand to this day,

because all things are your servants.

⁹² Unless your law had been my delight,

I would have perished in my affliction.

⁹³ To eternity I will not forget your precepts,

because by them you have given me life.

⁹⁴ I am yours. Save me,

because I have sought your precepts.

⁹⁵ The wicked are lying in wait for me to kill me,

but I will ponder your testimonies.

⁹⁶ I see a limit to all perfection,

but your commandment has no limits.

⁹⁷ How I love your laws!

I meditate on them all day long.

⁹⁸ Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies,

because it is always with me.

⁹⁹ I have more wisdom than all my teachers,

because your testimonies are my meditation.

¹⁰⁰ I have more understanding than the elders,

    because I guard your precepts.

¹⁰¹ I have kept my feet off every evil path

    in order to keep your words.

¹⁰² I have not turned from your judgments,

    because you yourself have instructed me.

¹⁰³ How sweet are your sayings to my taste,

    sweeter than honey to my mouth!

¹⁰⁴ From your precepts I gain understanding.

    Therefore, I hate every false road.
