Psalm 119:88

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

In thy steadfast love spare my life, that I may keep the testimonies of thy mouth.

See the chapter Copy

All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.

Behold, I long for thy precepts; in thy righteousness give me life!

My soul cleaves to the dust; revive me according to thy word!

Consider how I love thy precepts! Preserve my life according to thy steadfast love.

I cry to thee; save me, that I may observe thy testimonies.

Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart,

He established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers to teach to their children;

If your sons keep my covenant and my testimonies which I shall teach them, their sons also for ever shall sit upon your throne.”

Deal with thy servant according to thy steadfast love, and teach me thy statutes.

Hear my voice in thy steadfast love; O Lord, in thy justice preserve my life.
