Psalm 119:113-128

Complete Jewish Bible

¹¹³ I hate doubleminded people,
but I love your Torah.
¹¹⁴ You are my hiding-place and shield;
I put my hope in your word.
¹¹⁵ Leave me alone, you evildoers,
so that I can keep my God’s mitzvot.
¹¹⁶ Uphold me, as you promised; and I will live;
don’t disappoint me in my hope.
¹¹⁷ Support me; and I will be saved,
always putting my attention on your laws.
¹¹⁸ You reject all who stray from your laws,
for what they deceive themselves with is false.
¹¹⁹ You discard the wicked of the earth like slag;
this is why I love your instruction.
¹²⁰ My body trembles for fear of you;
your rulings make me afraid.

¹²¹ I have done what is just and right;
don’t abandon me to my oppressors.
¹²² Guarantee your servant’s well-being;
don’t let the arrogant oppress me.
¹²³ My eyes fail from watching for your salvation
and for [the fulfillment of] your righteous promise.
¹²⁴ Deal with your servant in accordance with your grace,
and teach me your laws.
¹²⁵ I am your servant; give me understanding,
so that I can know your instruction.
¹²⁶ The time has come for Adonai to act,
because they are breaking your Torah.
¹²⁷ Therefore I love your mitzvot
more than gold, more than fine gold.
¹²⁸ Thus I direct my steps by [your] precepts;
every false way I hate.
