New Testament

Psalm 119:60-72 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

60. I won't waste any time. I will be quick to obey your commands.

61. Evil people may tie me up with ropes. But I won't forget to obey your law.

62. At midnight I get up to give you thanks because your decisions are very fair.

63. I'm a friend to everyone who has respect for you. I'm a friend to everyone who follows your rules.

64. Lord, the earth is filled with your love. Teach me your orders.

65. Lord, be good to me as you have promised.

66. Increase my knowledge and give me good sense, because I believe in your commands.

67. Before I went through suffering, I went down the wrong path. But now I obey your word.

68. You are good, and what you do is good. Teach me your orders.

69. Proud people have spread lies about me and have taken away my good name. But I follow your rules with all my heart.

70. Their hearts are hard and stubborn. They don't feel anything. But I take delight in your law.

71. It was good for me to suffer. That's what helped me to understand your orders.

72. The law you gave is worth more to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.
