Bible in Basic English
"They had almost put an end to me on earth; but I did not give up your orders."
— Psalms 119:87, Bible in Basic English
“They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.”
How short is the life of your servant! when will you give your decision against those who are attacking me?
The men of pride, who are turned away from your law, have put nets for me.
All your teachings are certain; they go after me with evil design; give me your help.
They had almost put an end to me on earth; but I did not give up your orders.
Give me life in your mercy; so that I may be ruled by the unchanging word of your mouth.
For ever, O Lord, your word is fixed in heaven.
Your faith is unchanging from generation to generation: you have put the earth in its place, and it is not moved.
