| I will walk in freedom, for I have devoted myself to your commandments. | And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. |
| I will hurry, without delay, to obey your commands. | I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. |
|
| I will never forget your commandments, for by them you give me life. | I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me. |
| Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path. | Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. |

| You are my refuge and my shield; your word is my source of hope. | Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. |
| The teaching of your word gives light, so even the simple can understand. | The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. |
| Guide my steps by your word, so I will not be overcome by evil. | Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. |
| The very essence of your words is truth; all your just regulations will stand forever. | Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. |
| Those who love your instructions have great peace and do not stumble. | Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. |

| He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber. | He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. |
| The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life.

| Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted. Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good. | Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. |
| How joyful are those who fear the Lord— all who follow his ways! | Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways. |
| From the depths of despair, O Lord, I call for your help. Hear my cry, O Lord. Pay attention to my prayer. | Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. |
| I am counting on the Lord; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word. | I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. |

| O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. | O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. |
| You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. | For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. |
| I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. | Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. |
| You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. | For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. |
