111. Your commandments are my eternal possession;they are the joy of my heart.

112. I have decided to obey your lawsuntil the day I die.

113. I hate those who are not completely loyal to you,but I love your law.

114. You are my defender and protector;I put my hope in your promise.

115. Go away from me, you sinful people.I will obey the commands of my God.

116. Give me strength, as you promised, and I shall live;don't let me be disappointed in my hope!

117. Hold me, and I will be safe,and I will always pay attention to your commands.

118. You reject everyone who disobeys your laws;their deceitful schemes are useless.

119. You treat all the wicked like rubbish,and so I love your instructions.

120. Because of you I am afraid;I am filled with fear because of your judgements.

121. I have done what is right and good;don't abandon me to my enemies!

122. Promise that you will help your servant;don't let the arrogant oppress me!

123. My eyes are tired from watching for your saving help,for the deliverance you promised.

124. Treat me according to your constant love,and teach me your commands.

125. I am your servant; give me understanding,so that I may know your teachings.

126. Lord, it is time for you to act,because people are disobeying your law.
