89 (A)Forever, Lord,
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.
92 If Your Law had not been my (G)delight,
Then I would have perished (H)in my misery.
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.

Mem

97 How I (N)love Your Law!
It is my (O)meditation all the day.
98 Your (P)commandments make me wiser than my enemies,
For they are ever [d]mine.
99 I have more insight than all my teachers,
For Your testimonies are my (Q)meditation.
100 I understand (R)more than those who are old,
Because I have (S)complied with Your precepts.
101 I have (T)restrained my feet from every evil way,
So that I may keep Your word.
102 I have not (U)turned aside from Your judgments,
For You Yourself have taught me.
103 How (V)sweet are Your [e]words to my [f]taste!
Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 From Your precepts I (W)get understanding;
Therefore I (X)hate every false way.

Nun

105 Your word is a (Y)lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
