They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
Thy faithfulness [is] unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all [are] thy servants.
Unless thy law [had been] my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.
I [am] thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.
The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: [but] I will consider thy testimonies.
I have seen an end of all perfection: [but] thy commandment [is] exceeding broad.
