ZAYIN
Remember your promise to me;
it is my only hope.
Your promise revives me;
it comforts me in all my troubles.
The proud hold me in utter contempt,
but I do not turn away from your instructions.
I meditate on your age-old regulations;
O LORD, they comfort me.
I become furious with the wicked,
because they reject your instructions.
Your decrees have been the theme of my songs
wherever I have lived.
I reflect at night on who you are, O LORD;
therefore, I obey your instructions..
This is how I spend my life:
obeying your commandments.
The proud hold me in utter contempt, but I do not turn away from your instructions.
Job 17:2

O LORD, you misled me,
and I allowed myself to be misled.
You are stronger than I am,
and you overpowered me.
Now I am mocked every day;
everyone laughs at me. (see all Jeremiah 20)
Job 23:11
"For I have stayed on God's paths;
I have followed his ways and not turned aside." (see all Job 23)
Psalm 17:5
My steps have stayed on your path;
I have not wavered from following you. (see all Psalm 17)
Psalm 44:18
Our hearts have not deserted you.
We have not strayed from your path. (see all Psalm 44)
I meditate on your age-old regulations; O LORD, they comfort me.
Psalm 103:17-18
But the love of the LORD remains forever
with those who fear him.
His salvation extends to the children's children
of those who are faithful to his covenant,
of those who obey his commandments! (see all Psalm 103)
