Psalm 119:105-128

English Standard Version

^105 (A)Your word is a lamp to my feet
    and a light to my path.
¹⁰⁶ I have ^(B)sworn an oath and confirmed it,
    to keep your ^(C)righteous rules.
¹⁰⁷ I am severely ^(D)afflicted;
    ^(E)give me life, O Lord, according to your word!
¹⁰⁸ Accept ^(F)my freewill offerings of praise, O Lord,
    and ^(G)teach me your rules.
¹⁰⁹ I hold my life ^(H)in my hand continually,
    but I do not ^(I)forget your law.
¹¹⁰ The wicked have laid ^(J)a snare for me,
    but ^(K)I do not stray from your precepts.
¹¹¹ Your testimonies are ^(L)my heritage forever,
    for they are ^(M)the joy of my heart.
¹¹² I ^(N)incline my heart to perform your statutes
    forever, ^(O)to the end.^[a]

¹¹³ I hate ^(P)the double-minded,
    but I love ^(Q)your law.
¹¹⁴ You are my ^(R)hiding place and my ^(S)shield;
    I ^(T)hope in your word.
^115 (U)Depart from me, you evildoers,
    that I may ^(V)keep the commandments of my God.
¹¹⁶ Uphold me ^(W)according to your promise, that I may live,
    and let me not be ^(X)put to shame in my ^(Y)hope!
^117 (Z)Hold me up, that I may be safe
    and have regard for your statutes continually!
¹¹⁸ You ^(AA)spurn all who ^(AB)go astray from your statutes,
    for their cunning is in vain.
¹¹⁹ All the wicked of the earth you discard like ^(AC)dross,
    therefore ^(AD)I love your testimonies.
¹²⁰ My flesh ^(AE)trembles for fear of you,
    and I am afraid of your judgments.

¹²¹ I have done what is just and right;
    do not leave me to my oppressors.
¹²² Give your servant ^(AF)a pledge of good;
    let not ^(AG)the insolent oppress me.
¹²³ My ^(AH)eyes long for your salvation
    and for the fulfillment of your righteous promise.
¹²⁴ Deal with your servant according to your steadfast love,
    and ^(AI)teach me your statutes.
¹²⁵ I am your ^(AJ)servant; ^(AK)give me understanding,
    that I may know your testimonies!
¹²⁶ It is time for the Lord to act,
    for your law has been broken.
¹²⁷ Therefore I ^(AL)love your commandments
    above gold, above fine gold.
¹²⁸ Therefore I consider all your precepts to be right;
    I hate every ^(AM)false way.
