Psalm 119:41-48

New International Reader's Version

⁴¹ Lord, show me your faithful love.
    Save me as you have promised.
⁴² Then I can answer anyone who makes fun of me,
    because I trust in your word.
⁴³ Help me always to tell the truth about how faithful you are.
    I have put my hope in your laws.
⁴⁴ I will always obey your law,
    for ever and ever.
⁴⁵ I will lead a full and happy life,
    because I’ve tried to obey your rules.
⁴⁶ I will talk about your covenant laws to kings.
    I will not be put to shame.
⁴⁷ I take delight in obeying your commands
    because I love them.
⁴⁸ I reach out for your commands that I love.
    I do this so that I may think deeply about your orders.
