Psalm 119:91-105 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

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.

102. I haven't turned away from your laws, because you yourself have taught me.

103. Your words are very sweet to my taste! They are sweeter than honey to me.

104. I gain understanding from your rules. So I hate every path that sinners take.

105. Your word is like a lamp that shows me the way. It is like a light that guides me.
