If thy law had not been my delight, I should have perished in my affliction.
For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that by steadfastness and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.
Trouble and anguish have come upon me, but thy commandments are my delight.
Let thy mercy come to me, that I may live; for thy law is my delight.
Thy testimonies are my delight, they are my counselors.
I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!
I will delight in thy statutes; I will not forget thy word.
This is my comfort in my affliction that thy promise gives me life.
