Verses 41–48 of Psalm 119
The words
May your unfailing love come to me, Your salvation as promised, O LORD. Then I’ll answer the taunts of my foe, For I steadfastly trust in your word.
Do not snatch your true word from my mouth; All my hope has been set on your ways. I will always obey your commands Without fail to the end of my days.
I will walk in the freedom you give, For your precepts I’ve earnestly sought. I will speak of your statutes to kings, And to shame I will never be brought.
I take pleasure in all your commands, And I love them—they’re precious to me. I will reach out my hands to your laws, And will meditate on your decree.

How is this list ordered?
Curated pairings come first — a tune a curator recorded against this text, with the fitness they recorded. A tune that merely shares the meter is listed as a tune in the same meter and never as a pairing.
Nothing here is ranked by popularity or use. The page reports what a curator recorded, not a verdict of its own.
