Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
For whatsoever 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 thy commandments are my delights.
Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: For thy law is my delight.
Thy 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 thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
This is my comfort in my affliction: For thy word hath quickened me.
