- 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. - 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. - Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
