Your decrees are wonderful;
therefore I obey them with all my heart.
When your word goes forth it gives light;
it gives understanding to the simple.

I open my mouth and pant;
I long for your commandments.
Turn to me in mercy,
as you always do to those who love your Name.

Steady my footsteps in your word;
let no iniquity have dominion over me.
Rescue me from those who oppress me,
and I will keep your commandments.

Let your countenance shine upon your servant
and teach me your statutes.
My eyes shed streams of tears,
because people do not keep your law.

You are righteous, O Lord,
and upright are your judgments.
You have issued your decrees
with justice and in perfect faithfulness.

My indignation has consumed me,
because my enemies forget your words.
Your word has been tested to the uttermost,
and your servant holds it dear.

I am small and of little account,
yet I do not forget your commandments.
Your justice is an everlasting justice
and your law is the truth.

Trouble and distress have come upon me,
yet your commandments are my delight.
The righteousness of your decrees is everlasting;
grant me understanding, that I may live.

I call with my whole heart;
answer me, O Lord, that I may keep your statutes.
I call to you;
oh, that you would save me!
I will keep your decrees.

Early in the morning I cry out to you,
for in your word is my trust.
My eyes are open in the night watches,
that I may meditate upon your promise.

Hear my voice, O Lord, according to your loving-kindness;
according to your judgments, give me life.
They draw near who in malice persecute me;
they are very far from your law.

You, O Lord, are near at hand,
and all your commandments are true.
Long have I known from your decrees
that you have established them for ever.

Behold my affliction and deliver me,
for I do not forget your law.
Plead my cause and redeem me;
according to your promise, give me life.

Deliverance is far from the wicked,
for they do not study your statutes.
Great is your compassion, O Lord;
preserve my life, according to your judgments.

There are many who persecute and oppress me,
yet I have not swerved from your decrees.
I look with loathing at the faithless,
for they have not kept your word.

See how I love your commandments!
O Lord, in your mercy, preserve me.
The heart of your word is truth;
all your righteous judgments endure for evermore.

Rulers have persecuted me without a cause,
but my heart stands in awe of your word.
I am as glad because of your promise
as one who finds great spoils.

As for lies, I hate and abhor them,
but your law is my love.
Seven times a day do I praise you,
because of your righteous judgments.

Great peace have they who love your law;
for them there is no stumbling block.
I have hoped for your salvation, O Lord,
and I have fulfilled your commandments.

I have kept your decrees
and I have loved them deeply.
I have kept your commandments and decrees,
for all my ways are before you.

Let my cry come before you, O Lord;
give me understanding, according to your word.
Let my supplication come before you;
deliver me, according to your promise.

My lips shall pour forth your praise,
when you teach me your statutes.
My tongue shall sing of your promise,
for all your commandments are righteous.

Let your hand be ready to help me,
for I have chosen your commandments.
I long for your salvation, O Lord,
and your law is my delight.

Let me live, and I will praise you,
and let your judgments help me.
I have gone astray like a sheep that is lost;
search for your servant,
for I do not forget your commandments.
