Psalm 119:94

I am yours. Save me, for I have sought your precepts.

92Unless your law had been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.
93I will never forget your precepts, for with them, you have revived me.
94I am yours. Save me, for I have sought your precepts.
95The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me. I will consider your statutes.
96I have seen a limit to all perfection, but your commands are boundless. MEM
