New Testament

Psalm 119:124-135 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

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.

130. When your words are made clear, they bring light. They bring understanding to childish people.

131. I open my mouth and pant like a dog, because I long to know your commands.

132. Turn to me and show me your favor. That's what you've always done for those who love you.

133. Teach me how to live as you have promised. Don't let any sin be my master.

134. Set me free from men who beat me down. Then I will obey your rules.

135. Let your face smile on me with favor. Teach me your orders.
