Verse 5 is found in chapter 119 of Psalms. Psalm 119 is an extensive acrostic poem devoted to God’s word and instruction. Its different stanzas explore obedience, suffering, persecution, hope, wisdom, and the desire to know the commandments. The repetition of terms related to law, testimonies, statutes, and precepts does not represent mere monotony, but multiple dimensions of divine revelation. The psalm shows that God’s word guides both daily life and the believer’s response to affliction.

Oh daß mein Leben deine Rechte mit ganzem Ernst hielte!
¡Ojalá fuesen ordenados mis caminos A observar tus estatutos!
¡Ojalá mis caminos se afirmaran para guardar tus estatutos!
Puissent mes actions être bien réglées, Afin que je garde tes statuts!
Oh! sieno pure addirizzate le mie vie, Per osservare i tuoi statuti.
Quem dera que os meus caminhos fossem dirigidos a observar os teus mandamentos.
但願我行事堅定, 得以遵守你的律例。
