to observe your precepts. - Never will I forget your commands,
for through them you have given me life. - Your word is a lamp for my feet
and a light to my path. - Your statutes are my everlasting heritage;
they are the very joy of my heart. - You are my refuge and my shield;
I put my hope in your word. - The explanation of your words gives light
and imparts understanding to the simple. - Guide my steps in accord with your word
and never let evil triumph over me. - Every word you utter is true,
and all your righteous judgments are everlasting. - Those who love your law have great peace;
they encounter no stumbling blocks. - Deliver me, O Lord, from lying lips
and from deceitful tongues. - I lift up my eyes to the mountains;
from where will I receive help?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth. - He will not permit your foot to stumble;
he who guards you will not fall asleep. - The Lord will protect you against all evil;
he will watch over your life.

both now and forevermore. - Our help is in the name of the Lord,

I place my hope in his word. - How wonderful and delightful it is
for brothers to live together in unity. - The Lord will fulfill his plan for me.

do not forsake the work of your hands. - O Lord, you have examined me
and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I stand;
you perceive my thoughts from a distance. - A word is not even on my tongue
and you, O Lord, are completely aware of it. - Where can I go to hide from your spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to the heavens, you are there;
if I take my rest in the netherworld, you are also there. - You created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am wonderfully made;
awesome are your works,
as I know very well. - Examine me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and understand my thoughts.
See if I follow an evil way,
and guide me on the way to eternity.
