92If Your law had not been my delight, Then I would have perished in my time of trouble. 93I will never forget Your precepts, For by them You have revived me and given me life. I am Yours, save me [as Your own]; For I have [diligently] sought Your precepts and required them [as my greatest need]. 95The wicked wait for me to destroy me, But I will consider Your testimonies. 96I have seen that all [human] perfection has its limits [no matter how grand and perfect and noble]; Your commandment is exceedingly broad and extends without limits [into eternity].
