New Testament

Psalm 119:113-129 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

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.

120. My body trembles because I have respect for you. I have great respect for your laws.

121. I have done what is right and fair. So don't leave me to those who beat me down.

122. Make sure that everything goes well with me. Don't let proud people beat me down.

123. My eyes grow tired as I look to you to save me. Please save me as you have promised.

124. Be good to me, because you love me. Teach me your orders.

125. I serve you. Help me to understand what is right. Then I will understand your covenant laws.

126. Lord, it's time for you to act. People are breaking your law.

127. I love your commands more than gold. I love them more than pure gold.

128. I consider all of your rules to be right. So I hate every path that sinners take.

129. Your covenant laws are wonderful. So I obey them.
