If Your law had not been my delight, I would then have perished in my affliction.
For whatever was previously written was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
Trouble and anguish have taken hold of me, but Your commandments are my delight.
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 counselors.
I believe that I will 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, that Your word has given me life.
