New Testament

Psalm 119:122-137 New International Version (NIV)

122. Ensure your servant’s well-being; do not let the arrogant oppress me.

123. My eyes fail, looking for your salvation, looking for your righteous promise.

124. Deal with your servant according to your love and teach me your decrees.

125. I am your servant; give me discernment that I may understand your statutes.

126. It is time for you to act, Lord; your law is being broken.

127. Because I love your commands more than gold, more than pure gold,

128. and because I consider all your precepts right, I hate every wrong path.

129. Your statutes are wonderful; therefore I obey them.

130. The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.

131. I open my mouth and pant, longing for your commands.

132. Turn to me and have mercy on me, as you always do to those who love your name.

133. Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me.

134. Redeem me from human oppression, that I may obey your precepts.

135. Make your face shine on your servant and teach me your decrees.

136. Streams of tears flow from my eyes, for your law is not obeyed.

137. You are righteous, Lord, and your laws are right.
