117. Uphold me, and I shall be delivered;I shall always have regard for your decrees.
118. You reject all who stray from your decrees,for their delusions come to nothing.
119. All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross;therefore I love your statutes.
120. My flesh trembles in fear of you;I stand in awe of your laws.
121. I have done what is righteous and just;do not leave me to my oppressors.
122. Ensure your servant’s well-being;do not let the arrogant oppress me.
123. My eyes fail, looking for your salvation,looking for your righteous promise.
124. Deal with your servant according to your loveand teach me your decrees.
125. I am your servant; give me discernmentthat I may understand your statutes.
126. It is time for you to act, Lord;your law is being broken.
127. Because I love your commandsmore than gold, more than pure gold,
128. and because I consider all your precepts right,I hate every wrong path.
