New Testament

Psalm 119:32-43 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

32. I am quick to follow your commands, because you have set my heart free.

33. Lord, teach me to follow your orders. Then I will obey them to the very end.

34. Help me understand your law. Then I will follow it and obey it with all my heart.

35. Teach me to live as you command, because that makes me very happy.

36. Make me want to follow your covenant laws instead of wanting to gain things only for myself.

37. Turn my eyes away from things that are worthless. Keep me alive as you have promised.

38. Keep your promise to me. Then other people will have respect for you.

39. Please don't let me be put to shame. Your laws are good.

40. I really want to follow your rules. Keep me alive, because you do what is right.

41. Lord, show me your faithful love. Save me as you have promised.

42. Then I will answer those who make fun of me, because I trust in your word.

43. Help me always to tell the truth about how faithful you are. I have put my hope in your laws.
