Psalms 119:92
90 Your faithfulness continues through all generations; You established the earth, and it endures.
91 Your ordinances stand to this day, for all things are servants to You.
If Your law had not been my delight, then I would have perished in my affliction.
93 I will never forget Your precepts, for by them You have revived me.
94 I am Yours; save me, for I have sought Your precepts.
