Psalms 119:115-130 Common English Bible (CEB)

115. Get away from me, you evildoers;I want to guard my God’s commandments!

116. Sustain me according to your word so I can live!Don’t let me be put to shame because of hope.

117. Support me so I can be savedand so I can focus constantly on your statutes.

118. You discard everyone who strays from your statutesbecause they are dishonest and false.

119. You dispose of all the wicked people on earth like waste—that’s why I love your laws.

120. My body shudders because I fear you;I’m in awe of your rules.

121. I’ve done what is just and right.Don’t just hand me over to my oppressors.

122. Guarantee good things for your servant.Please don’t let the arrogant oppress me.

123. My eyes are worn out looking for your saving help—looking for your word that will set things right.

124. Act toward your servant according to your faithful love.Teach me your statutes!

125. I’m your servant!Help me understand so I can know your laws.

126. It is time for the Lord to do something!Your Instruction has been broken.

127. But I love your commandmentsmore than gold, even more than pure gold.

128. That’s why I walk straight by every single one of your precepts.That’s why I hate every false path.

129. Your laws are wonderful!That’s why I guard them.

130. Access to your words gives light,giving simple folk understanding.
