Psalm 119:106-119 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

106. I have taken an oath. I have promised to follow your laws, because they are right.

107. I have suffered very much. Lord, keep me alive as you have promised.

108. Lord, accept the praise I freely give you. Teach me your laws.

109. I keep putting my life in danger. But I won't forget to obey your law.

110. Evil people have set a trap for me. But I haven't wandered away from your rules.

111. Your covenant laws are your gift to me forever. They fill my heart with joy.

112. I have decided to obey your orders to the very end.

113. I hate people who can't make up their minds. But I love your law.

114. You are my place of safety. You are like a shield that keeps me safe. I have put my hope in your word.

115. Get away from me, you who do evil! Then I can do what my God commands me to do.

116. Keep me going as you have promised. Then I will live. Don't let me lose all hope.

117. Take good care of me, and I will be saved. I will always honor your orders.

118. You turn your back on all those who wander away from your orders. They lie and cheat, but it doesn't amount to anything.

119. You throw away all of the sinners on earth as if they were trash. So I love your covenant laws.
