I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word.
Your statutes are my delight; they are my counselors.
for I delight in your commands because I love them.
For in my inner being I delight in God’s law;
My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart,
Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight.
I have strayed like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for I have not forgotten your commands.
Though I am lowly and despised, I do not forget your precepts.
Though I constantly take my life in my hands, I will not forget your law.
Though I am like a wineskin in the smoke, I do not forget your decrees.
Let your compassion come to me that I may live, for your law is my delight.
Their hearts are callous and unfeeling, but I delight in your law.
but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.
I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches.
I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.”
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
Though the wicked bind me with ropes, I will not forget your law.
Trouble and distress have come upon me, but your commands give me delight.
Look on my suffering and deliver me, for I have not forgotten your law.
I long for your salvation, Lord, and your law gives me delight.
When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.
When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, Lord God Almighty.
