19I am living here on the earth for only a short time;
20In my inner being I strongly desire to know ◄your regulations/the rules that you have given to us► all the time.
21You rebuke those who are proud;
22Do not allow them to continue to insult and scorn me;
23Rulers gather together and plan ways to harm me,
24I am delighted with ◄your requirements/what you have instructed us to do►;
25I think that I will soon die [IDM];
26When I told you about my behavior, you answered me;
27Help me to understand ◄your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do►,
28I am very sad/sorrowful [IDM], with the result that I have no strength;

50When I have been suffering, you comforted me;
51Proud people are always making fun of me,
52Yahweh, when I think about ◄your regulations/the rules► that you gave to us long ago,
53When I see that wicked people have disregarded your laws,
54While I have been living here for a short time on the earth,
55Yahweh, during the night I think about you [MTY],
56What I have always done is to obey ◄your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do►.
57Yahweh, you are the one whom I have chosen,
58With all my inner being I plead with you to be good to me;
59I have thought about my behavior,
60I hurry to obey ◄your commands/what you have commanded►;

62In the middle of the night I wake up,
63I am a friend of all those who revere you,
64Yahweh, you faithfully/always love people all over the earth;
65Yahweh, you have done good things for me,
66Teach me to think carefully before I decide what to do,
67Before you afflicted/punished me, I did things that were wrong,
68You are very good, and what you do is good;
69Proud people have told many lies about me,
70Those proud people ◄are stupid/do not understand your laws► [IDM],
71It was good for me that you afflicted/punished me,
72The laws that you [MTY] gave/told to us are worth more to me than gold,
73You created me and formed my body (OR, kept me safe);
74Those who have an awesome respect for you will see what you have done for me, and they will rejoice,
75Yahweh, I know that ◄your regulations/the rules that you have given to us► are right/fair
76Cause me to be comforted/encouraged by knowing that you faithfully love me,
77Be merciful to me in order that I may continue to live,
78Cause the proud people who falsely accuse me to be ashamed,

81I am very tired/exhausted while I wait for you to save me from my enemies;
82My eyes are tired from waiting a long time for you to do what you promised/said that you would do,
83I have become as useless as [MET] a wineskin that is shriveled from hanging a long time in the smoke inside a house,
84How long must I wait?
85It is as though proud people have dug deep pits for me to fall into,
86All ◄your commands are/what you have commanded is► trustworthy;
87Those people have almost killed me,
88Because you faithfully love me, allow me to continue to live
89Yahweh, your words will last forever;
90You will faithfully continue doing ◄for people who are not yet born/in every generation► what you have ◄promised/said that you would do►;
91To this day, all things on the earth remain because you decided that they should remain;
92If I had not been delighted in obeying your laws,
93I will never forget ◄your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do►,
94I belong to you; save/rescue me from my enemies,
95Wicked men are waiting to kill me,
96I have learned that there is a limit/end for everything,
97I love your laws very much.

105Your words are like [MET] a lamp to guide me;
106I have solemnly promised, and I am solemnly promising it again,
107Yahweh, I am suffering very much;
108Yahweh, when I thank you while I pray, it is like [MET] a sacrifice to you;
109My enemies are often trying to kill me [IDM],
110Wicked people have tried to seize me like a hunter tries to catch an animal with a trap [MET],
111◄Your requirements/What you have instructed us to do► are my possession forever;
112I ◄have decided/am determined► [IDM] to obey ◄your statutes/what you have decreed that we should do► until the day that I die [MTY].
113I hate people who are only partly committed to you,
114You are like a place where I can hide from my enemies,
115You evil people, stay away from me
116Enable me to be strong, as you promised/said that you would do,
117Hold me up, in order that I will be safe
118You reject all those who disobey ◄your statutes/what you have decreed that we should do►;
119You get rid of all the wicked people on the earth like [SIM] people throw away trash;
120I [SYN] tremble because I am afraid of you;
121But I have done what is right and fair/just;
122Promise me that you will do good things for me
123My eyes are tired from waiting a long time for you to rescue me,
124Do something for me to show that you faithfully love me,
125I am one who serves you;
126Yahweh, now is the time for you to punish people
127Truly, I love ◄your commands/what you have commanded► more than I love gold;
128So I conduct my life by ◄your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do►,
129◄Your requirements are/All the things that you have instructed us to do are► wonderful,
130When someone explains ◄your words/what you have said►,

142You are righteous and you will be righteous forever,
143I constantly have troubles/difficulties and I am worried,
144◄Your requirements are/All the things that you have instructed us to do are► always fair;
145Yahweh, with all my inner being I call out to you;
146I call out to you;
147Each morning I arise before dawn and call to you to help me;
148All during the night I am awake,
149Yahweh, because you faithfully love me,
150Those evil people who oppress/persecute me are coming closer to me;
151But Yahweh, you are near to me,
152Long ago I found out about ◄your requirements/all the things that you have instructed us to do►,
153Look at me and see that I am suffering very much, and heal me,
154Defend me when others accuse me, and rescue me from them;
155Wicked people do not obey ◄your statutes/what you have decreed that we should do►,
156Yahweh, you are very merciful;
157Many people are my enemies and many people ◄cause me to suffer/persecute me►,
158When I look at those who are not faithful to you, I am disgusted
159Yahweh, notice that I love ◄your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do►;
160All that you have said is truth,
161Rulers persecute me for no reason,
162I am happy about ◄your words/what you have promised to do for me►,
163I thoroughly hate [DOU] all lies
164Seven/Many times each day I thank you for ◄your regulations/the rules that you have given to us►,
165Things go well for those who love your laws;

167I obey ◄what you require/what you have instructed► us to do;
168I obey ◄your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do►,

172I will sing about ◄your words/what you have promised to do►
173I ask you [SYN] to always be ready to help me
174Yahweh, I eagerly desire for you to rescue/save me from my enemies;
175Allow me to continue to live in order that I can continue to praise you,
176I have wandered away from you like [SIM] a sheep that has become lost;
