Psalm 119:97-112

New American Standard Bible

Mem

⁹⁷How I ^(A)love Your Law!
It is my ^(B)meditation all the day.
⁹⁸Your ^(C)commandments make me wiser than my enemies,
For they are ever ^[a]mine.
⁹⁹I have more insight than all my teachers,
For Your testimonies are my ^(D)meditation.
¹⁰⁰I understand ^(E)more than those who are old,
Because I have ^(F)complied with Your precepts.
¹⁰¹I have ^(G)restrained my feet from every evil way,
So that I may keep Your word.
¹⁰²I have not ^(H)turned aside from Your judgments,
For You Yourself have taught me.
¹⁰³How ^(I)sweet are Your ^[b]words to my ^[c]taste!
Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
¹⁰⁴From Your precepts I ^(J)get understanding;
Therefore I ^(K)hate every false way.

Nun

¹⁰⁵Your word is a ^(L)lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
¹⁰⁶I have ^(M)sworn and I will confirm it,
That I will keep Your righteous judgments.
¹⁰⁷I am exceedingly ^(N)afflicted;
^[d]^(O)Revive me, Lord, according to Your word.
¹⁰⁸Be pleased to accept the ^[e]^(P)voluntary offerings of my mouth, Lord,
And ^(Q)teach me Your judgments.
¹⁰⁹My ^[f]^(R)life is continually ^[g]in my hand,
Yet I do not ^(S)forget Your Law.
¹¹⁰The wicked have ^(T)set a ^[h]trap for me,
Yet I have not ^(U)wandered from Your precepts.
¹¹¹I have ^(V)inherited Your testimonies forever,
For they are the ^(W)joy of my heart.
¹¹²I have ^(X)inclined my heart to perform Your statutes
Forever, even ^(Y)to the end.

The Armor of God

¹⁰Finally, ^(A)be strong in the Lord and in ^(B)the strength of His might. ¹¹^(C)Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the ^(D)schemes of the devil. ¹²For our ^(E)struggle is not against ^[a]^(F)flesh and blood, but ^(G)against the rulers, against the powers, against the ^(H)world forces of this ^(I)darkness, against the ^(J)spiritual forces of wickedness in ^(K)the heavenly places. ¹³Therefore, take up ^(L)the full armor of God, so that you will be able to ^(M)resist on ^(N)the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. ¹⁴Stand firm therefore, ^(O)having belted your waist with truth, and having ^(P)put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵and having ^(Q)strapped on your feet the preparation of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶^[b]in addition to all, taking up the ^(R)shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the ^(S)flaming arrows of ^(T)the evil one. ¹⁷And take ^(U)the helmet of salvation and the ^(V)sword of the Spirit, which is ^(W)the word of God.
