119:4 Lord, you gave us your instructions and told us to always obey them.
119:5 How I wish I could be more faithful in obeying your laws!
119:6 Then I would never feel ashamed when I look closely at your commands.
119:7 The more I understand how fair your laws are, the more sincerely I will praise you.
119:8 I will obey your laws, so please don’t leave me!
119:9 How can a young person live a pure life? By obeying your word.
119:10 I try with all my heart to serve you. Help me obey your commands.
119:11 I study your teachings very carefully so that I will not sin against you.
119:12 Lord, you are worthy of praise! Teach me your laws.
119:13 I will repeat the laws we have heard from you.
119:14 I enjoy following your rules as much as others enjoy great riches.
119:15 I will study your instructions. I will give thought to your way of life.
119:16 I enjoy your laws. I will not forget your word.
119:17 Be good to me, your servant, so that I may live to obey your word.

119:19 I feel like a stranger visiting here on earth. I need to know your commands. Don’t keep them hidden from me.
119:20 I constantly feel a hunger to understand your laws.
119:21 You tell the proud how angry you are with them. All those who refuse to obey your word are cursed.

119:23 Even if rulers say bad things about me, I am your servant, and I continue to study your laws.
119:24 Your rules make me happy. They give me good advice.
119:25 I lie here like a dying man. Say the word, and I will live again.

119:34 Help me understand your teachings, and I will follow them. Obeying them will be my greatest desire.
119:35 Help me follow your commands, because that makes me happy.
119:36 Give me the desire to follow your rules, not the desire to get rich.
119:37 Don’t let me look at worthless things. Help me live your way.
119:38 Do what you promised me, your servant, so that people will respect you.
119:39 Take away the shame I fear. Your laws are good.
119:40 See how much I want to obey your instructions! Be good to me, and let me live.
119:41 Lord, show me your faithful love. Save me, as you promised.

119:43 Let me always say what is true. I depend on your judgment to be fair.
119:44 I will follow your teachings forever and ever.
119:45 So I will live in freedom, because I do my best to know your instructions.

119:52 I remember the laws you gave us long ago, Lord, and they bring me comfort.
119:53 I am overcome with anger when I see wicked people, who have stopped following your teachings.
119:54 Your laws are the songs I sing wherever I am living.
119:55 Lord, in the night I remembered your name, and I obeyed your teachings.
119:56 This happened because I carefully obey your instructions.
119:57 Lord, I decided that my duty is to obey your commandments.
119:58 I beg you with all my heart, be kind to me, as you promised.
119:59 I thought very carefully about my life, and I decided to follow your rules.
119:60 Without wasting any time, I hurried back to obey your commands.

119:71 Suffering was good for me; I learned your laws.
119:72 Your teachings are worth more to me than a thousand pieces of silver and gold.
119:73 With your hands you made me and helped me become what I am. Now help me learn and understand your commands.
119:74 Your followers will see me and be happy, because I trust in your word.
119:75 Lord, I know that your decisions are fair, and you were right to punish me.
119:76 Now comfort me with your faithful love, as you promised.
119:77 Comfort me and let me live. I enjoy your teachings.
119:78 Bring shame on those proud people who lied about me. All I want to do is study your instructions.
119:79 Let your followers come back to me so that they may learn your rules.
119:80 Let me obey your laws perfectly so that I will not be ashamed.
119:81 I feel weaker and weaker as I wait for you to save me. But I put my trust in your word.
119:82 I keep looking for what you promised, but my eyes are feeling tired. When will you comfort me?
119:83 Even when I am like a dried wineskin on the trash pile, I will not forget your laws.

119:87 They have almost destroyed me, but I have not stopped obeying your instructions.
119:88 Show me your faithful love and let me live. I will do whatever you say.
119:89 Lord, your word continues forever in heaven.
119:90 You are loyal forever and ever. You made the earth, and it still stands.
119:91 All things continue today because of your laws. Like slaves, they all obey you.
119:92 If I had not found joy in your teachings, my suffering would have destroyed me.
119:93 I will never forget your commands, because through them you gave me new life.
119:94 I am yours, so save me! I have done my best to know your instructions.
119:95 The wicked tried to destroy me, but your rules made me wise.
119:96 Everything has its limits, except your commands.
119:97 Oh, how I love your teachings! I talk about them all the time.
119:98 Your commands are always with me, and they make me wiser than my enemies.
119:99 I am wiser than all my teachers, because I study your rules.
119:100 I understand more than those who are older, because I obey your instructions.
119:101 I have avoided every path that leads to evil so that I could obey your word.
119:102 You are my teacher, so I will always do whatever you decide.
119:103 Your words are so sweet to me, like the taste of honey!
119:104 I gain understanding from your instructions, so I hate anything that leads people the wrong way.
119:105 Your word is like a lamp that guides my steps, a light that shows the path I should take.

119:110 The wicked try to trap me, but I have not disobeyed your instructions.
119:111 The rules you have given me to follow will be mine forever. They give me great joy.
119:112 More than anything I want to obey your laws always, until the end of my life.
119:113 Lord, I hate those who are not completely loyal to you, but I love your teachings.
119:114 Hide me and protect me. I trust what you say.
119:115 Don’t come near me, you who are evil, so that I can obey my God’s commands.
119:116 Support me, Lord, as you promised, and I will live. I trust in you, so don’t disappoint me.
119:117 Help me and I will be saved. And I will always give attention to your laws.
119:118 You reject all who don’t obey your laws, because they are liars and did not do what they said.
119:119 You throw away the wicked of this world like trash. So I love your rules.
119:120 I am shaking with fear before you. I fear and respect your judgments.
119:121 I have done what is right and good. Don’t let me fall into the hands of those who want to hurt me.
119:122 Promise to be good to me, your servant. Don’t let those proud people do harm to me.

119:127 I love your commands more than gold, more than the purest gold.
119:128 I carefully obey all your commands. So I hate anything that leads people the wrong way.
119:129 Lord, your rules are wonderful. That is why I follow them.
119:130 As people understand your word, it brings light to their lives. Your word makes even simple people wise.
119:131 My desire to hear your commands is so strong that I wait with open mouth, gasping for breath.

119:135 Accept your servant, and teach me your laws.
119:136 I have cried a river of tears because people don’t obey your teachings.
119:137 Lord, you do what is right, and your decisions are fair.
119:138 The rules you have given us are right. We can trust them completely.
119:139 Something that really upsets me is the thought that my enemies ignore your commands.
119:140 I love your word. Time and again it has been proven true.
119:141 I am young, and people don’t respect me. But I have not forgotten your instructions.

119:148 Late into the night I stay awake to think about your word.
119:149 I know your love is true, so listen to me. Lord, you always do what is right, so let me live.
119:150 Here come those who have evil plans to hurt me. They live far away from your teachings.
119:151 But you are near me, Lord, and all your commands can be trusted.
119:152 Long ago, I learned from your rules that you made them to last forever.
119:153 Look at my suffering and rescue me. I have not forgotten your teachings.
119:154 Argue my case, and set me free. Let me live, as you promised.
119:155 The wicked have no hope of being saved, because they don’t follow your laws.
119:156 Lord, you are very kind. You always do what is right, so let me live.
119:157 I have many enemies trying to hurt me, but I have not stopped following your rules.

119:169 Lord, listen to my cry for help. Make me wise, as you promised.
119:170 Listen to my prayer. Save me, as you promised.
119:171 I will burst into songs of praise, because you have taught me your laws.
119:172 Let my voice sing about your word, because all your commands are good.
119:173 I have chosen to follow your instructions, so reach out and help me!
119:174 Lord, I want you to save me. Your teachings make me happy.
