Psalms 119:69-88
-
69 The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
-
70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.
-
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
-
72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
-
73 Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
-
74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.
-
75 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
-
76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
-
77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
-
78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
-
79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.
-
80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.
-
81 My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
-
82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
-
83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.
-
84 How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
-
85 The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.
-
86 All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
-
87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
-
88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
