- Give me an eagerness for your laws
rather than a love for money! - I will walk in freedom,
for I have devoted myself to your commandments. - I will hurry, without delay,
to obey your commands. - I will never forget your commandments,
for by them you give me life. - Your word is a lamp to guide my feet
and a light for my path. - Your laws are my treasure;
they are my heart’s delight. - You are my refuge and my shield;
your word is my source of hope. - The teaching of your word gives light,
so even the simple can understand. - Guide my steps by your word,
so I will not be overcome by evil. - The very essence of your words is truth;
all your just regulations will stand forever. - Those who love your instructions have great peace
and do not stumble. - Rescue me, O Lord, from liars
and from all deceitful people. - I look up to the mountains—
does my help come from there?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth! - He will not let you stumble;
the one who watches over you will not slumber. - The Lord keeps you from all harm
and watches over your life.
The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go,
both now and forever. - Our help is from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth. - 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. - How joyful are those who fear the Lord—
all who follow his ways! - From the depths of despair, O Lord,
I call for your help.
Hear my cry, O Lord.
Pay attention to my prayer. - I am counting on the Lord;
yes, I am counting on him.
I have put my hope in his word. - How wonderful and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in harmony! - The Lord will work out his plans for my life—
for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever.
Don’t abandon me, for you made me. - 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. - You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, Lord. - 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.
