Psalm 119:17-24

New American Standard Bible 1995

^17 (A)Deal bountifully with Your servant,
That I may live and keep Your word.
¹⁸ Open my eyes, that I may behold
Wonderful things from Your law.
¹⁹ I am a ^(B)stranger in the earth;
Do not hide Your commandments from me.
²⁰ My soul is crushed ^[a](C)with longing
After Your ordinances at all times.
²¹ You ^(D)rebuke the arrogant, ^[b]the ^(E)cursed,
Who ^(F)wander from Your commandments.
^22 (G)Take away reproach and contempt from me,
For I ^(H)observe Your testimonies.
²³ Even though ^(I)princes sit and talk against me,
Your servant ^(J)meditates on Your statutes.
²⁴ Your testimonies also are my ^(K)delight;
They are ^[c]my counselors.
