| إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ أَمَانَتُكَ. أَسَّسْتَ ٱلْأَرْضَ فَثَبَتَتْ. | ٩٠ 90 |
You will faithfully [continue doing] ([for people who are not yet born/in every generation]) what you have (promised/said that you would do); you have put the earth in its place, and it remains firmly [there].
| عَلَى أَحْكَامِكَ ثَبَتَتِ ٱلْيَوْمَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْكُلَّ عَبِيدُكَ. | ٩١ 91 |
To this day, [all things on the earth] remain because you decided that they should remain; everything [on the earth] serves you.

If I had not been delighted [in obeying] your laws, I would have died because of what I was suffering.

I will never forget (your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do), because as a result of [my obeying them] you have enabled me to [continue to] live.
| لَكَ أَنَا فَخَلِّصْنِي، لِأَنِّي طَلَبْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٩٤ 94 |
I belong to you; save/rescue me [from my enemies], because I have tried to obey (your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do).
| إِيَّايَ ٱنْتَظَرَ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ لِيُهْلِكُونِي. بِشَهَادَاتِكَ أَفْطُنُ. | ٩٥ 95 |
Wicked [men] are waiting to kill me, but I [will] think about what you have instructed [us to do].
| لِكُلِّ كَمَالٍ رَأَيْتُ حَدًّا، أَمَّا وَصِيَّتُكَ فَوَاسِعَةٌ جِدًّا. | ٩٦ 96 |
I have learned that there is a limit/end for everything, but what you command (has no limits/never ends).
| كَمْ أَحْبَبْتُ شَرِيعَتَكَ! ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ هِيَ لَهَجِي. | ٩٧ 97 |
I love your laws very much. I (meditate on/think about) them all during the day.
| وَصِيَّتُكَ جَعَلَتْنِي أَحْكَمَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، لِأَنَّهَا إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ هِيَ لِي. | ٩٨ 98 |
Because I know (your commands/what you have commanded), and because I think about them all the time, I have become wiser than my enemies.
| أَكْثَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ مُعَلِّمِيَّ تَعَقَّلْتُ، لِأَنَّ شَهَادَاتِكَ هِيَ لَهَجِي. | ٩٩ 99 |
I understand more than my teachers do, because I (meditate on/think about) (your requirements/what you have instructed us to do).

I have not (turned away from/quit) [obeying] (your regulations/the rules that you have given to us), because you have taught me [while I have studied them].

Because [I have learned] (your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do), I am able to understand [many things]; therefore, I hate all evil things [that some people do].
| سِرَاجٌ لِرِجْلِي كَلَامُكَ وَنُورٌ لِسَبِيلِي. | ١٠٥ 105 |
Your words are [like] [MET] a lamp to guide me; they are [like] a light [MET] to show me the path [that I should walk on].

Yahweh, when I thank you while I pray, it is [like] [MET] a sacrifice to you; [please] accept it, and teach me your (regulations/rules that you have given to us).

You reject all those who disobey (your statutes/what you have decreed that [we] should do); but what they deceitfully plan to do will be (useless/in vain).
| كَزَغَلٍ عَزَلْتَ كُلَّ أَشْرَارِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِذَلِكَ أَحْبَبْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١١٩ 119 |
You get rid of all the wicked [people] on the earth like [SIM] [people throw away] trash; therefore I love what you have instructed us to do.

I [SYN] tremble because I am afraid of you; I am afraid [because you punish those who do not obey] (your regulations/the rules that you have given to us).
| أَجْرَيْتُ حُكْمًا وَعَدْلًا. لَا تُسْلِمْنِي إِلَى ظَالِمِيَّ. | ١٢١ 121 |
[But] I have done what is right and fair/just; [so] do not allow people to oppress/mistreat me.
| كُنْ ضَامِنَ عَبْدِكَ لِلْخَيْرِ، لِكَيْلَا يَظْلِمَنِي ٱلْمُسْتَكْبِرُونَ. | ١٢٢ 122 |
Promise me that you will do good things for me and do not allow proud [people] to oppress me.

Yahweh, now is the time for you to [punish people] because they have disobeyed your laws.
| لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَحْبَبْتُ وَصَايَاكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْإِبْرِيزِ. | ١٢٧ 127 |
Truly, I love (your commands/what you have commanded) more than I love gold; I love them more than I love [very] pure gold.
| لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ حَسِبْتُ كُلَّ وَصَايَاكَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُسْتَقِيمَةً. كُلَّ طَرِيقِ كَذِبٍ أَبْغَضْتُ. | ١٢٨ 128 |
So I conduct my life by (your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do), and I hate all the evil things that [some people do].

When someone explains (your words/what you have said), [it is as though] they are lighting a light; what they say causes [even] people who have not learned your laws to be wise.

I eagerly desire to know (your commands/what you have commanded), like [SIM] a [dog] that pants with its mouth open [wanting to be fed].
| ٱلْتَفِتْ إِلَيَّ وَٱرْحَمْنِي، كَحَقِّ مُحِبِّي ٱسْمِكَ. | ١٣٢ 132 |
Listen to me and act kindly to me, like you do to [all] those who love you [MTY].

Be kind to me and teach me (your statutes/what you have decreed that [we] should do).
| جَدَاوِلُ مِيَاهٍ جَرَتْ مِنْ عَيْنَيَّ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَحْفَظُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٣٦ 136 |
I cry very much because [many] people do not obey your laws.
| بَارٌّ أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ، وَأَحْكَامُكَ مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ. | ١٣٧ 137 |
Yahweh, you are righteous and (your regulations/the rules that you have given to us) are just/fair.

(Your promises are/All the things that you have said that you will do are) dependable and I love them.

I am not important and people despise me, but I do not forget (your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do).

[Each morning] I arise before dawn and call to you to help me; I confidently expect you to do what you have (promised/said that you will do).

Those evil people who oppress/persecute me are coming closer to me; they do not pay any attention to your laws.
| قَرِيبٌ أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ، وَكُلُّ وَصَايَاكَ حَقٌّ. | ١٥١ 151 |
But Yahweh, you are near to me, and [I know that] (your commands/what you command) will never be changed.
| مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ عَرَفْتُ مِنْ شَهَادَاتِكَ أَنَّكَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ أَسَّسْتَهَا. | ١٥٢ 152 |
Long ago I found out about (your requirements/all the things that you have instructed us to do), and [I know that] you intended them to last forever.

Wicked [people] do not obey (your statutes/what you have decreed that [we] should do), so you will certainly not save them.
