If I had not loved your teachings, I would have died from my sufferings.
Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us. The Scriptures give us patience and encouragement so that we can have hope.
I have had troubles and misery, but I love your commands.
Have mercy on me so that I may live. I love your teachings.
Your rules give me pleasure; they give me good advice.
I truly believe I will live to see the Lord’s goodness.
I enjoy obeying your demands, and I will not forget your word.
When I suffer, this comforts me: Your promise gives me life.
