Psalm 119:86-101 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

86. All of your commands can be trusted. Help me, because people attack me without any reason.

87. They almost wiped me off the face of the earth. But I have not turned away from your rules.

88. Keep me alive, because you love me. Then I will obey the covenant laws you have given.

89. Lord, your word lasts forever. It stands firm in the heavens.

90. You will be faithful for all time to come. You made the earth, and it continues to exist.

91. Your laws continue to this very day, because all things serve you.

92. If I had not taken delight in your law, I would have died because of my suffering.

93. I will never forget your rules. You have kept me alive, because I obey them.

94. Save me, because I belong to you. I've tried to obey your rules.

95. Sinful people are waiting to destroy me. But I will spend time thinking about your covenant laws.

96. I've learned that everything has its limits. But your commands are perfect. They are always there when I need them.

97. Lord, I really love your law! All day long I spend time thinking about it.

98. Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, because your commands are always in my heart.

99. I know more than all of my teachers do, because I spend time thinking about your covenant laws.

100. I understand more than the elders do, because I obey your rules.

101. I've kept my feet from every path that sinners take so that I might obey your word.
