New Testament

Psalm 119:136-145 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

136. Streams of tears flow from my eyes, because people don't obey your law.

137. Lord, you do what is fair. And your laws are right.

138. The laws you have made are fair. They can be completely trusted.

139. My anger is wearing me out, because my enemies don't pay any attention to your words.

140. Your promises have proved to be true. I love them.

141. I'm not important. People look down on me. But I don't forget to obey your rules.

142. You always do what is right. And your law is true.

143. I've had my share of trouble and suffering. But I take delight in your commands.

144. Your covenant laws are always right. Help me to understand them. Then I will live.

145. Lord, I call out to you with all my heart. Answer me, and I will obey your orders.
