89 Forever, O LORD,
Your word is settled in heaven.
90 Your faithfulness endures to all generations;
You established the earth, and it abides.
91 They continue this day according to Your ordinances,
For all are Your servants.
92 Unless Your law had been my delight,
I would then have perished in my affliction.
93 I will never forget Your precepts,
For by them You have given me life.
94 I am Yours, save me;
For I have sought Your precepts.
95 The wicked wait for me to destroy me,
But I will consider Your testimonies.
96 I have seen the consummation of all perfection,
But Your commandment is exceedingly broad.
- Your word is eternal. It cannot pass away.
- You are settled in heaven, and Your word is established at all times. Before the creation of the earth, Your word is. After the destruction of the earth by fire, Your word is.
- You are our faithful God, and every generation to come will be able to declare that same truth. Show us Your faithfulness at all times!
- The earth endures at Your word, and generations continue because You have declared it to be so. You have spoken life!
- I am Your servant, and all who believe in You.
- Your law has saved me. Without Your word, I would have perished in my sufferings and my sins.
- Keep Your word in my mind always. Remind what I have read and keep me in Your will.
- Your word is life, and Your law is true.
- I commit my soul to You, and I can only be saved by Your word and Your will.
- When the wicked seek my life, save me. When they set traps for me, I will meditate on Your word.
- All that You have said and done, the entirety of Your creation, is perfect, for You are perfect.
- Your ways and thoughts are broad and greater than I can comprehend. Help me to understand Your ways that I may serve You in perfection. You are the mighty God and Your word is true, right, and life-giving!
