All your commandments are steadfast. Help me! I am pursued without cause.
Help me, Lord, my God; save me in your mercy.
Thus, I follow all your precepts; every wrong way I hate.
You have given your testimonies in righteousness and in surpassing faithfulness.
Your justice is forever right, your law true.
You are near, O Lord; reliable are all your commandments.
Shame the proud for leading me astray with falsehood, that I may study your testimonies.
Rescue me, Lord, from my foes, for I seek refuge in you.
The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart. The command of the Lord is clear, enlightening the eye.
Do not let lying foes rejoice over me, my undeserved enemies wink knowingly.
Without cause they set their snare for me; without cause they dug a pit for me.
I acknowledge my guilt and grieve over my sin.
But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you, Those who long for your help always say, “God be glorified!”
Must good be repaid with evil that they should dig a pit to take my life? Remember that I stood before you to speak on their behalf, to turn your wrath away from them.
So then the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good. Sin and Death.
