In Thy statutes I delight myself, I do not forget Thy word.
But--in the law of Jehovah is his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:
My soul is in my hand continually, And Thy law I have not forgotten.
In my heart I have hid Thy saying, That I sin not before Thee.
In the way of Thy testimonies I have joyed, As over all wealth.
Small I am , and despised, Thy precepts I have not forgotten.
Adversity and distress have found me, Thy commands are my delights.
Resh. See my affliction, and deliver Thou me, For Thy law I have not forgotten.
I have longed for Thy salvation, O Jehovah, And Thy law is my delight.
I wandered as a lost sheep, seek Thy servant, For Thy precepts I have not forgotten!
Thy testimonies also are my delight, The men of my counsel!
Cause me to tread in the path of Thy commands, For in it I have delighted.
And I delight myself in Thy commands, That I have loved,
Cords of the wicked have surrounded me, Thy law I have not forgotten.
Insensate as fat hath been their heart, I--in Thy law I have delighted.
Meet me do Thy mercies, and I live, For Thy law is my delight.
For I have been as a bottle in smoke, Thy statutes I have not forgotten.
To do Thy pleasure, my God, I have delighted, And Thy law is within my heart.
To do justice is joy to the righteous, But ruin to workers of iniquity.
My son! my law forget not, And my commands let thy heart keep,
Thy words have been found, and I eat them, And Thy word is to me for a joy, And for the rejoicing of my heart, For Thy name is called on me, O Jehovah, God of Hosts.
for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,
