Psalms 119:85-96
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 119
85The arrogant have dug pits for me, People who are not in accord with Your Law. 86All Your commandments are faithful; They have persecuted me with a lie; help me! 87They almost destroyed me on earth, But as for me, I did not abandon Your precepts. 88Revive me according to Your faithfulness, So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth. 89Forever, Lord, Your word stands in heaven. 90Your faithfulness continues throughout generations; You established the earth, and it stands. 91They stand this day by Your ordinances, For all things are Your servants. 92If Your Law had not been my delight, Then I would have perished in my misery. 93I will never forget Your precepts, For by them You have revived me. 94I am Yours, save me; For I have sought Your precepts. 95The wicked wait for me to destroy me; I will diligently consider Your testimonies. 96I have seen a limit to all perfection; Your commandment is exceedingly broad.King James Version
Chapter 119
85The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law. 86All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. 87They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 119
85The arrogant have dug pits for me; they violate your instruction. 86All your commands are true; people persecute me with lies--help me! 87They almost ended my life on earth, but I did not abandon your precepts. 88Give me life in accordance with your faithful love, and I will obey the decree you have spoken. 89Lord, your word is forever; it is firmly fixed in heaven. 90Your faithfulness is for all generations; you established the earth, and it stands firm. 91Your judgments stand firm today, for all things are your servants. 92If your instruction had not been my delight, I would have died in my affliction. 93I will never forget your precepts, for you have given me life through them. 94I am yours; save me, for I have studied your precepts. 95The wicked hope to destroy me, but I contemplate your decrees. 96I have seen a limit to all perfection, but your command is without limit.New Living Translation
Chapter 119
85These arrogant people who hate your instructions have dug deep pits to trap me. 86All your commands are trustworthy. Protect me from those who hunt me down without cause. 87They almost finished me off, but I refused to abandon your commandments. 88In your unfailing love, spare my life; then I can continue to obey your laws.
89Your eternal word, O Lord, stands firm in heaven.
90Your faithfulness extends to every generation, as enduring as the earth you created.
91Your regulations remain true to this day, for everything serves your plans.
92If your instructions hadn’t sustained me with joy, I would have died in my misery.
93I will never forget your commandments, for by them you give me life.
94I am yours; rescue me! For I have worked hard at obeying your commandments.
95Though the wicked hide along the way to kill me, I will quietly keep my mind on your laws.
96Even perfection has its limits, but your commands have no limit.

Chapter 119
85The insolent have dug pitfalls for me; they do not live according to your law. 86All your commandments are sure; they persecute me with falsehood; help me! 87They have almost made an end of me on earth, but I have not forsaken your precepts. 88In your steadfast love give me life, that I may keep the testimonies of your mouth.
89Forever, O LORD, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens.
90Your faithfulness endures to all generations; you have established the earth, and it stands fast.
91By your appointment they stand this day, for all things are your servants.
92If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.
93I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have given me life.
94I am yours; save me, for I have sought your precepts.
95The wicked lie in wait to destroy me, but I consider your testimonies.
96I have seen a limit to all perfection, but your commandment is exceedingly broad.
