119:26 I told you my plans, and you answered. Now teach me your decrees.
119:27 Help me understand the meaning of your commandments, and I will meditate on your wonderful deeds.
119:28 I weep with sorrow; encourage me by your word.
119:29 Keep me from lying to myself; give me the privilege of knowing your instructions.

119:31 I cling to your laws. LORD, don't let me be put to shame!
119:32 I will pursue your commands, for you expand my understanding.
119:33 Teach me your decrees, O LORD; I will keep them to the end.
119:34 Give me understanding and I will obey your instructions; I will put them into practice with all my heart.
119:35 Make me walk along the path of your commands, for that is where my happiness is found.
119:36 Give me an eagerness for your laws rather than a love for money!
119:37 Turn my eyes from worthless things, and give me life through your word.
119:38 Reassure me of your promise, made to those who fear you.
119:39 Help me abandon my shameful ways; for your regulations are good.

119:49 Remember your promise to me; it is my only hope.
119:50 Your promise revives me; it comforts me in all my troubles.
119:51 The proud hold me in utter contempt, but I do not turn away from your instructions.
119:52 I meditate on your age-old regulations; O LORD, they comfort me.
119:53 I become furious with the wicked, because they reject your instructions.
119:54 Your decrees have been the theme of my songs wherever I have lived.
119:55 I reflect at night on who you are, O LORD; therefore, I obey your instructions.
119:56 This is how I spend my life: obeying your commandments.

119:60 I will hurry, without delay, to obey your commands.
119:61 Evil people try to drag me into sin, but I am firmly anchored to your instructions.

119:70 Their hearts are dull and stupid, but I delight in your instructions.
119:71 My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees.
119:72 Your instructions are more valuable to me than millions in gold and silver.
119:73 You made me; you created me. Now give me the sense to follow your commands.
119:74 May all who fear you find in me a cause for joy, for I have put my hope in your word.
119:75 I know, O LORD, that your regulations are fair; you disciplined me because I needed it.
119:76 Now let your unfailing love comfort me, just as you promised me, your servant.
119:77 Surround me with your tender mercies so I may live, for your instructions are my delight.
119:78 Bring disgrace upon the arrogant people who lied about me; meanwhile, I will concentrate on your commandments.
119:79 Let me be united with all who fear you, with those who know your laws.
119:80 May I be blameless in keeping your decrees; then I will never be ashamed.
119:81 I am worn out waiting for your rescue, but I have put my hope in your word.
119:82 My eyes are straining to see your promises come true. When will you comfort me?
119:83 I am shriveled like a wineskin in the smoke, but I have not forgotten to obey your decrees.
119:84 How long must I wait? When will you punish those who persecute me?
119:85 These arrogant people who hate your instructions have dug deep pits to trap me.
119:86 All your commands are trustworthy. Protect me from those who hunt me down without cause.
119:87 They almost finished me off, but I refused to abandon your commandments.
119:88 In your unfailing love, spare my life; then I can continue to obey your laws.
119:89 Your eternal word, O LORD, stands firm in heaven.
119:90 Your faithfulness extends to every generation, as enduring as the earth you created.
119:91 Your regulations remain true to this day, for everything serves your plans.
119:92 If your instructions hadn't sustained me with joy, I would have died in my misery.
119:93 I will never forget your commandments, for by them you give me life.
119:94 I am yours; rescue me! For I have worked hard at obeying your commandments.
119:95 Though the wicked hide along the way to kill me, I will quietly keep my mind on your laws.
119:96 Even perfection has its limits, but your commands have no limit.
119:97 Oh, how I love your instructions! I think about them all day long.
119:98 Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for they are my constant guide.

119:103 How sweet your words taste to me; they are sweeter than honey.
119:104 Your commandments give me understanding; no wonder I hate every false way of life.
119:105 Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.
119:106 I've promised it once, and I'll promise it again: I will obey your righteous regulations.
119:107 I have suffered much, O LORD; restore my life again as you promised.
119:108 LORD, accept my offering of praise, and teach me your regulations.
119:109 My life constantly hangs in the balance, but I will not stop obeying your instructions.
119:110 The wicked have set their traps for me, but I will not turn from your commandments.

119:112 I am determined to keep your decrees to the very end.
119:113 I hate those with divided loyalties, but I love your instructions.
119:114 You are my refuge and my shield; your word is my source of hope.
119:115 Get out of my life, you evil-minded people, for I intend to obey the commands of my God.
119:116 LORD, sustain me as you promised, that I may live! Do not let my hope be crushed.
119:117 Sustain me, and I will be rescued; then I will meditate continually on your decrees.
119:118 But you have rejected all who stray from your decrees. They are only fooling themselves.
119:119 You skim off the wicked of the earth like scum; no wonder I love to obey your laws!
119:120 I tremble in fear of you; I stand in awe of your regulations.
119:121 Don't leave me to the mercy of my enemies, for I have done what is just and right.
119:122 Please guarantee a blessing for me. Don't let the arrogant oppress me!
119:123 My eyes strain to see your rescue, to see the truth of your promise fulfilled.
119:124 I am your servant; deal with me in unfailing love, and teach me your decrees.
119:125 Give discernment to me, your servant; then I will understand your laws.
119:126 LORD, it is time for you to act, for these evil people have violated your instructions.
119:127 Truly, I love your commands more than gold, even the finest gold.
119:128 Each of your commandments is right. That is why I hate every false way.
119:129 Your laws are wonderful. No wonder I obey them!
119:130 The teaching of your word gives light, so even the simple can understand.
119:131 I pant with expectation, longing for your commands.
119:132 Come and show me your mercy, as you do for all who love your name.
119:133 Guide my steps by your word, so I will not be overcome by evil.
119:134 Ransom me from the oppression of evil people; then I can obey your commandments.
119:135 Look upon me with love; teach me your decrees.
119:136 Rivers of tears gush from my eyes because people disobey your instructions.
119:137 O LORD, you are righteous, and your regulations are fair.
119:138 Your laws are perfect and completely trustworthy.
119:139 I am overwhelmed with indignation, for my enemies have disregarded your words.
119:140 Your promises have been thoroughly tested; that is why I love them so much.
119:141 I am insignificant and despised, but I don't forget your commandments.
119:142 Your justice is eternal, and your instructions are perfectly true.

119:145 I pray with all my heart; answer me, LORD! I will obey your decrees.
119:146 I cry out to you; rescue me, that I may obey your laws.
119:147 I rise early, before the sun is up; I cry out for help and put my hope in your words.
119:148 I stay awake through the night, thinking about your promise.
119:149 In your faithful love, O LORD, hear my cry; let me be revived by following your regulations.
119:150 Lawless people are coming to attack me; they live far from your instructions.
119:151 But you are near, O LORD, and all your commands are true.
119:152 I have known from my earliest days that your laws will last forever.
119:153 Look upon my suffering and rescue me, for I have not forgotten your instructions.
119:154 Argue my case; take my side! Protect my life as you promised.
119:155 The wicked are far from rescue, for they do not bother with your decrees.
119:156 LORD, how great is your mercy; let me be revived by following your regulations.
119:157 Many persecute and trouble me, yet I have not swerved from your laws.
119:158 Seeing these traitors makes me sick at heart, because they care nothing for your word.
119:159 See how I love your commandments, LORD. Give back my life because of your unfailing love.
119:160 The very essence of your words is truth; all your just regulations will stand forever.
119:161 Powerful people harass me without cause, but my heart trembles only at your word.

119:167 I have obeyed your laws, for I love them very much.
119:168 Yes, I obey your commandments and laws because you know everything I do.
119:169 O LORD, listen to my cry; give me the discerning mind you promised.
119:170 Listen to my prayer; rescue me as you promised.
119:171 Let praise flow from my lips, for you have taught me your decrees.
119:172 Let my tongue sing about your word, for all your commands are right.
119:173 Give me a helping hand, for I have chosen to follow your commandments.
119:174 O LORD, I have longed for your rescue, and your instructions are my delight.
119:175 Let me live so I can praise you, and may your regulations help me.
