Unless Your Law had been my delight, I should then have perished in my affliction.
For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, so 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 delight.
Let Your tender mercies come to me so that I may live; for Your Law is my delight.
Your testimonies also are my delight and my advisers.
I would have fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living.
I will delight myself in Your Precepts; I will not forget Your Word.
This is my comfort in my affliction; for Your Word has given me life.
