Psalm 119:121-128

New International Reader's Version

¹²¹ I have done what is right and fair.
    So don’t leave me to those who treat me badly.
¹²² Make sure that everything goes well with me.
    Don’t let proud people treat me badly.
¹²³ My eyes grow tired as I look to you to save me.
    Please save me as you have promised.
¹²⁴ Be good to me, because you love me.
    Teach me your orders.
¹²⁵ I serve you, so help me to understand what is right.
    Then I will understand your covenant laws.
¹²⁶ Lord, it’s time for you to act.
    People are breaking your law.
¹²⁷ I love your commands more than gold.
    I love them more than pure gold.
¹²⁸ I consider all your rules to be right.
    So I hate every path that sinners take.
