²⁵ <DALETH> My soul is joined to the dust: O give me life, in keeping with your word.

¹¹ Give me life, O Lord, because of your name; in your righteousness take my soul out of trouble.

²⁵ For our souls are crushed down to the dust: our bodies are stretched out on the earth.

⁴⁰ See how great is my desire for your orders: give me life in your righteousness.

⁹³ I will ever keep your orders in mind; for in them I have life.

¹⁴⁹ Let my voice come to you, in your mercy; O Lord, by your decisions give me life.

¹⁵⁹ See how great is my love for your orders: give me life, O Lord, in keeping with your mercy.

² Keep your mind on the higher things, not on the things of earth.

¹⁵⁶ Great is the number of your mercies, O Lord; give me life in keeping with your decisions.

¹⁰⁷ I am greatly troubled, O Lord, give me life in keeping with your word.

⁸⁸ Give me life in your mercy; so that I may be ruled by the unchanging word of your mouth.

³⁷ Let my eyes be turned away from what is false; give me life in your ways.

²⁰ You, who have sent great and bitter troubles on me, will give me life again, lifting me up from the deep waters of the underworld.

²⁷ For you, O Lord of armies, the God of Israel, have clearly said to your servant, I will make you the head of a family of kings: and so it has come into your servant's heart to make this prayer to you.

²⁸ And now, O Lord God, you are God and your words are true and you have said you will give your servant this good thing;

²⁹ So may it be your pleasure to give your blessing to the family of your servant, so that it may go on for ever before you: (for you, O Lord God, have said it,) and may your blessing be on your servant's family line for ever!

¹⁵ My throat is dry like a broken vessel; my tongue is fixed to the roof of my mouth, and the dust of death is on my lips.

¹⁸ So will we not be turned back from you; keep us in life, and we will give praise to your name.

²⁵ The wolf and the lamb will take their food together, and the lion will make a meal of grass like the ox: but dust will be the snake's food. There will be no cause of pain or destruction in all my holy mountain, says the Lord.

²³ But he, turning to Peter, said, Get out of my way, Satan: you are a danger to me because your mind is not on the things of God, but on the things of men.

²² In my heart I take pleasure in the law of God,

²³ But I see another law in my body, working against the law of my mind, and making me the servant of the law of sin which is in my flesh.

²⁴ How unhappy am I! who will make me free from the body of this death?

² For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

³ For what the law was not able to do because it was feeble through the flesh, God, sending his Son in the image of the evil flesh, and as an offering for sin, gave his decision against sin in the flesh:

¹⁹ Whose end is destruction, whose god is the stomach, and whose glory is in their shame, whose minds are fixed on the things of the earth.

⁶ And the Lord your God will give to you and to your seed a circumcision of the heart, so that, loving him with all your heart and all your soul, you may have life.
