New Testament

Psalm 119:68-74 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

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.

73. You made me and formed me with your own hands. Give me understanding so that I can learn your commands.

74. May those who have respect for you be filled with joy when they see me. I have put my hope in your word.
