Psalm 119:113-176

New King James Version

¹¹³ I hate the ^[a]double-minded,
But I love Your law.
^114 (A)You are my hiding place and my shield;
I hope in Your word.
^115 (B)Depart from me, you evildoers,
For I will keep the commandments of my God!
¹¹⁶ Uphold me according to Your word, that I may live;
And do not let me ^(C)be ashamed of my hope.
^117 [b]Hold me up, and I shall be safe,
And I shall observe Your statutes continually.
¹¹⁸ You reject all those who stray from Your statutes,
For their deceit is falsehood.
¹¹⁹ You ^[c]put away all the wicked of the earth ^(D)like ^[d]dross;
Therefore I love Your testimonies.
^120 (E)My flesh trembles for fear of You,
And I am afraid of Your judgments.

¹²¹ I have done justice and righteousness;
Do not leave me to my oppressors.
¹²² Be ^(F)surety^[e] for Your servant for good;
Do not let the proud oppress me.
¹²³ My eyes fail from seeking Your salvation
And Your righteous word.
¹²⁴ Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy,
And teach me Your statutes.
^125 (G)I am Your servant;
Give me understanding,
That I may know Your testimonies.
¹²⁶ It is time for You to act, O Lord,
For they have ^[f]regarded Your law as void.
^127 (H)Therefore I love Your commandments
More than gold, yes, than fine gold!
¹²⁸ Therefore all Your precepts concerning all things
I consider to be right;
I hate every false way.

¹²⁹ Your testimonies are wonderful;
Therefore my soul keeps them.
¹³⁰ The entrance of Your words gives light;
^(I)It gives understanding to the ^(J)simple.
¹³¹ I opened my mouth and ^(K)panted,
For I longed for Your commandments.
^132 (L)Look upon me and be merciful to me,
^(M)As Your custom is toward those who love Your name.
^133 (N)Direct my steps by Your word,
And ^(O)let no iniquity have dominion over me.
^134 (P)Redeem me from the oppression of man,
That I may keep Your precepts.

Because men do not keep Your law.

^137 (S)Righteous are You, O Lord,
And upright are Your judgments.
^138 (T)Your testimonies, which You have commanded,
Are righteous and very faithful.
^139 (U)My zeal has ^[g]consumed me,
Because my enemies have forgotten Your words.

And Your law is ^(W)truth.
¹⁴³ Trouble and anguish have ^[i]overtaken me,

Give me understanding, and I shall live.

¹⁴⁵ I cry out with my whole heart;
Hear me, O Lord!
I will keep Your statutes.

Save me, and I will keep Your testimonies.
^147 (X)I rise before the dawning of the morning,
And cry for help;
I hope in Your word.
^148 (Y)My eyes are awake through the night watches,
That I may meditate on Your word.
¹⁴⁹ Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness;
O Lord, revive me according to Your justice.
¹⁵⁰ They draw near who follow after wickedness;
They are far from Your law.
¹⁵¹ You are ^(Z)near, O Lord,
And all Your commandments are truth.
¹⁵² Concerning Your testimonies,
I have known of old that You have founded them ^(AA)forever.

^153 (AB)Consider my affliction and deliver me,
For I do not forget Your law.
^154 (AC)Plead my cause and redeem me;
Revive me according to Your word.
¹⁵⁵ Salvation is far from the wicked,
For they do not seek Your statutes.
^156 [j]Great are Your tender mercies, O Lord;
Revive me according to Your judgments.
¹⁵⁷ Many are my persecutors and my enemies,
Yet I do not ^(AD)turn from Your testimonies.
¹⁵⁸ I see the treacherous, and ^(AE)am disgusted,
Because they do not keep Your word.
¹⁵⁹ Consider how I love Your precepts;
Revive me, O Lord, according to Your lovingkindness.
¹⁶⁰ The entirety of Your word is truth,
And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever.

^161 (AF)Princes persecute me without a cause,
But my heart stands in awe of Your word.

As one who finds great treasure.
¹⁶³ I hate and abhor lying,
But I love Your law.

Deliver me according to Your word.
^171 (AK)My lips shall utter praise,

For all Your commandments are righteousness.
