Psalm 119:80-99 American Standard Version (ASV)

80. Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes, That I be not put to shame.

81. My soul fainteth for thy salvation; But I hope in thy word.

82. Mine eyes fail for thy word, While I say, When wilt thou comfort me?

83. For I am become like a wine-skin in the smoke; Yet do I not forget thy statutes.

84. How many are the days of thy servant? When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

85. The proud have digged pits for me, Who are not according to thy law.

86. All thy commandments are faithful: They persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.

87. They had almost consumed me upon earth; But I forsook not thy precepts.

88. Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; So shall I observe the testimony of thy mouth.

89. For ever, O Jehovah, Thy word is settled in heaven.

90. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: Thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.

91. They abide this day according to thine ordinances; For all things are thy servants.

92. Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction.

93. I will never forget thy precepts; For with them thou hast quickened me.

94. I am thine, save me; For I have sought thy precepts.

95. The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me; But I will consider thy testimonies.

96. I have seen an end of all perfection; But thy commandment is exceeding broad.

97. Oh how love I thy law! It is my meditation all the day.

98. Thy commandments make me wiser than mine enemies; For they are ever with me.

99. I have more understanding than all my teachers; For thy testimonies are my meditation.
