Psalm 119:129-136

Common English Bible

¹²⁹ Your laws are wonderful!
    That’s why I guard them.
¹³⁰ Access to your words^[a] gives light,
    giving simple folk understanding.
¹³¹ I open my mouth up wide, panting,
    because I long for your commandments.
¹³² Come back to me and have mercy on me;
    that’s only right for those who love your name.
¹³³ Keep my steps steady by your word;
    don’t let any sin rule me.
¹³⁴ Redeem me from the people who oppress me
    so I can keep your precepts.
¹³⁵ Shine your face on your servant,
    and teach me your statutes.
¹³⁶ Rivers of tears stream from my eyes
    because your Instruction isn’t being kept.
