Verses 105-112

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

I have sworn and confirmed that I will keep your righteous judgments.

I am afflicted very much; revive me, O YAHWEH, according to your word.

Accept, I pray, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O YAHWEH, and teach me your judgments.

My life is continually in my hand, yet I do not forget your law.

The wicked have laid a snare for me, yet I have not strayed from your precepts.

Your testimonies I have taken as a heritage forever, for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

I have inclined my heart to perform your statutes forever, to the very end.

Verses 113-120

I hate the double-minded, but I love your law.moses

You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word.

Depart from me, you evildoers, for I will keep the commandments of my Elohim!

Uphold me according to your word, that I may live; and do not let me be ashamed of my hope.

Hold me up, and I shall be safe, and I shall observe your statutes continually.

You reject all those who stray from your statutes, for their deceit is falsehood.

You put away all the wicked of the earth like dross; therefore I love your testimonies.

My flesh trembles for fear of you, and I am afraid of your judgments.

Verses 121-128

I have done justice and righteousness; do not leave me to my oppressors.

Be surety for your servant for good; do not let the proud oppress me.

My eyes fail from seeking your salvation and your righteous word.

Deal with your servant according to your mercy, and teach me your statutes.

I am your servant; give me understanding, that I may know your testimonies.

It is time for you to act, O YAHWEH, for they have regarded your law as void.

Therefore I love your commandments more than gold, yes, than fine gold!

Therefore all your precepts concerning all things I consider to be right; I hate every false way.

HalleluYah!
