IfYour lawhad not been my delight,ThenI would have perishedin my affliction.
For whateverwas written in earlier timeswas writtenfor our instruction,sothat throughperseveranceand the encouragementof the Scriptureswe might havehope.
Troubleand anguishhave comeupon me, [Yet] Your commandmentsare my delight.
May Your compassioncometo me that I may live,For Your lawis my delight.
Your testimoniesalsoare my delight;[They are] my counselors.Daleth.
[I would have despaired] unlessI had believedthat I would seethe goodnessof the LORDIn the landof the living.
I shall delightin Your statutes;I shall not forgetYour word.Gimel.
Thisis my comfortin my affliction,That Your wordhas revivedme.
