Unless your law had been my delights, I should then have perished in my affliction.
For whatever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet your commandments are my delights.
Let your tender mercies come to me, that I may live: for your law is my delight.
Your testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.
I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
I will delight myself in your statutes: I will not forget your word.
This is my comfort in my affliction: for your word has quickened me.
