Psalms 119:26-46 Modern English Version (MEV)

26. I have declared my ways, and You heard me;teach me Your statutes.

27. Make me to understand the way of Your precepts;then I shall contemplate on Your wondrous works.

28. My soul collapses on account of grief;strengthen me according to Your word.

29. Remove from me the way of falsehood,and graciously grant me Your law.

30. I have chosen the way of faithfulness;Your judgments I have laid before me.

31. I have stayed with Your testimonies, OLord;may I not be put to shame.

32. I will run in the way of Your commandments,when You set my heart free.

33. Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes,and I shall keep it to the end.

34. Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your lawand observe it with my whole heart.

35. Lead me in the path of Your commandments,for I delight in them.

36. Incline my heart unto Your testimonies,and not for unjust gain.

37. Turn away my eyes from beholding worthlessness,and revive me in Your way.

38. Establish Your word to Your servant,so that You are feared.

39. Turn away my reproach that I dread,for Your judgments are good.

40. Behold, I have a longing for Your precepts;revive me in Your righteousness.

41. Let Your mercies come to me, O Lord,even Your deliverance according to Your word.

42. So I shall have an answer for him who reproaches me,for I trust in Your word.

43. Do not take the word of truth out of my mouth,for I have hoped in Your judgments.

44. So I shall keep Your law continually,forever and ever.

45. I will walk in an open space,for I seek Your precepts.

46. I will speak of Your testimonies also before kingsand will not be ashamed.
