⁴⁶ I will speak of your statutes before kings^(A)
    and will not be put to shame,^(B)
47 for I delight^(C) in your commands
    because I love them.^(D)
48 I reach out for your commands, which I love,
    that I may meditate^(E) on your decrees.

⁴⁹ Remember your word^(F) to your servant,
    for you have given me hope.^(G)

51 The arrogant mock me^(I) unmercifully,
    but I do not turn^(J) from your law.
⁵² I remember,^(K) Lord, your ancient laws,
    and I find comfort in them.
⁵³ Indignation grips me^(L) because of the wicked,
    who have forsaken your law.^(M)
54 Your decrees are the theme of my song^(N)
    wherever I lodge.
⁵⁵ In the night, Lord, I remember^(O) your name,
    that I may keep your law.^(P)
56 This has been my practice:
    I obey your precepts.^(Q)

⁵⁷ You are my portion,^(R) Lord;
    I have promised to obey your words.^(S)
58 I have sought^(T) your face with all my heart;
    be gracious to me^(U) according to your promise.^(V)
59 I have considered my ways^(W)
    and have turned my steps to your statutes.
⁶⁰ I will hasten and not delay
    to obey your commands.^(X)
61 Though the wicked bind me with ropes,
    I will not forget^(Y) your law.
⁶² At midnight^(Z) I rise to give you thanks
    for your righteous laws.^(AA)

    but now I obey your word.^(AK)
68 You are good,^(AL) and what you do is good;
    teach me your decrees.^(AM)
69 Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies,^(AN)
    I keep your precepts with all my heart.
⁷⁰ Their hearts are callous^(AO) and unfeeling,
    but I delight in your law.
⁷¹ It was good for me to be afflicted^(AP)
    so that I might learn your decrees.
⁷² The law from your mouth is more precious to me
    than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.^(AQ)

⁷³ Your hands made me^(AR) and formed me;
    give me understanding to learn your commands.
⁷⁴ May those who fear you rejoice^(AS) when they see me,

⁷⁹ May those who fear you turn to me,
    those who understand your statutes.^(BC)
80 May I wholeheartedly follow^(BD) your decrees,^(BE)
    that I may not be put to shame.^(BF)

⁸¹ My soul faints^(BG) with longing for your salvation,^(BH)
    but I have put my hope^(BI) in your word.
⁸² My eyes fail,^(BJ) looking for your promise;^(BK)
    I say, “When will you comfort me?”
⁸³ Though I am like a wineskin in the smoke,
    I do not forget^(BL) your decrees.
⁸⁴ How long^(BM) must your servant wait?
    When will you punish my persecutors?^(BN)
85 The arrogant^(BO) dig pits^(BP) to trap me,
    contrary to your law.
⁸⁶ All your commands are trustworthy;^(BQ)
    help me,^(BR) for I am being persecuted^(BS) without cause.^(BT)
87 They almost wiped me from the earth,
    but I have not forsaken^(BU) your precepts.
⁸⁸ In your unfailing love^(BV) preserve my life,^(BW)
    that I may obey the statutes^(BX) of your mouth.

    it stands firm in the heavens.
⁹⁰ Your faithfulness^(BZ) continues through all generations;^(CA)
    you established the earth, and it endures.^(CB)
91 Your laws endure^(CC) to this day,
    for all things serve you.^(CD)
92 If your law had not been my delight,^(CE)
    I would have perished in my affliction.^(CF)

    I have sought out your precepts.^(CJ)
95 The wicked are waiting to destroy me,^(CK)
    but I will ponder your statutes.^(CL)
96 To all perfection I see a limit,
    but your commands are boundless.^(CM)
