Psalms 119:124-139 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

124. Show your faithful love to me, your servant. Teach me your laws.

125. I am your servant. Give me wisdom to understand your rules.

126. Lord, it is time for you to do something. The people do what is against your teachings.

127. I love your commands more than gold, more than the purest gold.

128. I carefully obey all your commands. So I hate anything that leads people the wrong way.

129. Lord, your rules are wonderful. That is why I follow them.

130. As people understand your word, it brings light to their lives. Your word makes even simple people wise.

131. My desire to hear your commands is so strong that I wait with open mouth, gasping for breath.

132. Look at me, and be kind to me, just as you always are to those who love your name.

133. Guide me, as you promised. Don’t let evil rule over me.

134. Save me from those who want to hurt me, and I will obey your instructions.

135. Accept your servant, and teach me your laws.

136. I have cried a river of tears because people don’t obey your teachings.

137. Lord, you do what is right, and your decisions are fair.

138. The rules you have given us are right. We can trust them completely.

139. Something that really upsets me is the thought that my enemies ignore your commands.
