87. They so consum'd me, that on earthmy life they scarce did leave:Thy precepts yet forsook I not,but close to them did cleave.
88. After thy loving-kindness, Lord,me quicken, and preserve:The testimony of thy mouthso shall I still observe.
89. Thy word for ever is, O Lord,in heaven settled fast;
90. Unto all generationsthy faithfulness doth last:The earth thou hast established,and it abides by thee.
91. This day they stand as thou ordain'dst;for all thy servants be.
92. Unless in thy most perfect lawmy soul delights had found,I should have perished, when asmy troubles did abound.
93. Thy precepts I will ne'er forget;they quick'ning to me brought.
94. Lord, I am thine; O save thou me:thy precepts I have sought.
95. For me the wicked have laid wait,me seeking to destroy:But I thy testimonies trueconsider will with joy.
96. An end of all perfectionhere have I seen, O God:But as for thy commandement,it is exceeding broad.
97. O how love I thy law! it ismy study all the day:
98. It makes me wiser than my foes;for it doth with me stay.
99. Than all my teachers now I havemore understanding far;Because my meditationthy testimonies are.
