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,
