Psalm 119:73-128

New King James Version

^73 (A)Your hands have made me and fashioned me;
Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.
^74 (B)Those who fear You will be glad when they see me,
Because I have hoped in Your word.
⁷⁵ I know, O Lord, ^(C)that Your judgments are ^[a]right,
And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.
⁷⁶ Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort,
According to Your word to Your servant.
⁷⁷ Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live;
For Your law is my delight.
⁷⁸ Let the proud ^(D)be ashamed,
For they treated me wrongfully with falsehood;
But I will meditate on Your precepts.
⁷⁹ Let those who fear You turn to me,
Those who know Your testimonies.
⁸⁰ Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes,
That I may not be ashamed.

^81 (E)My soul faints for Your salvation,
But I hope in Your word.
⁸² My eyes fail from searching Your word,
Saying, “When will You comfort me?”
⁸³ For ^(F)I have become like a wineskin in smoke,
Yet I do not forget Your statutes.
^84 (G)How many are the days of Your servant?
^(H)When will You execute judgment on those who persecute me?
^85 (I)The proud have dug pits for me,
Which is not according to Your law.
⁸⁶ All Your commandments are faithful;
They persecute me ^(J)wrongfully;
Help me!
⁸⁷ They almost made an end of me on earth,
But I did not forsake Your precepts.
⁸⁸ Revive me according to Your lovingkindness,
So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth.

^89 (K)Forever, O Lord,
Your word ^[b]is settled in heaven.
⁹⁰ Your faithfulness endures to all generations;
You established the earth, and it ^[c]abides.
⁹¹ They continue this day according to ^(L)Your ordinances,
For all are Your servants.
⁹² Unless Your law had been my delight,
I would then have perished in my affliction.
⁹³ I will never forget Your precepts,
For by them You have given me life.
⁹⁴ I am Yours, save me;
For I have sought Your precepts.
⁹⁵ The wicked wait for me to destroy me,
But I will ^[d]consider Your testimonies.
^96 (M)I have seen the consummation of all perfection,
But Your commandment is exceedingly broad.

⁹⁷ Oh, how I love Your law!
^(N)It is my meditation all the day.
⁹⁸ You, through Your commandments, make me ^(O)wiser than my enemies;
For they are ever with me.
⁹⁹ I have more understanding than all my teachers,
^(P)For Your testimonies are my meditation.
^100 (Q)I understand more than the ^[e]ancients,
Because I keep Your precepts.
¹⁰¹ I have restrained my feet from every evil way,
That I may keep Your word.
¹⁰² I have not departed from Your judgments,
For You Yourself have taught me.
^103 (R)How sweet are Your words to my taste,
Sweeter than honey to my mouth!
¹⁰⁴ Through Your precepts I get understanding;
Therefore I hate every false way.

^105 (S)Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
^106 (T)I have sworn and confirmed
That I will keep Your righteous judgments.
¹⁰⁷ I am afflicted very much;
Revive me, O Lord, according to Your word.
¹⁰⁸ Accept, I pray, ^(U)the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord,
And teach me Your judgments.
^109 (V)My life is continually ^[f]in my hand,
Yet I do not forget Your law.
^110 (W)The wicked have laid a snare for me,
Yet I have not strayed from Your precepts.
^111 (X)Your testimonies I have taken as a ^[g]heritage forever,
For they are the rejoicing of my heart.
¹¹² I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes
Forever, to the very end.

¹¹³ I hate the ^[h]double-minded,
But I love Your law.
^114 (Y)You are my hiding place and my shield;
I hope in Your word.
^115 (Z)Depart from me, you evildoers,
For I will keep the commandments of my God!
¹¹⁶ Uphold me according to Your word, that I may live;
And do not let me ^(AA)be ashamed of my hope.
^117 [i]Hold me up, and I shall be safe,
And I shall observe Your statutes continually.
¹¹⁸ You reject all those who stray from Your statutes,
For their deceit is falsehood.
¹¹⁹ You ^[j]put away all the wicked of the earth ^(AB)like ^[k]dross;
Therefore I love Your testimonies.
^120 (AC)My flesh trembles for fear of You,
And I am afraid of Your judgments.

¹²¹ I have done justice and righteousness;
Do not leave me to my oppressors.
¹²² Be ^(AD)surety^[l] for Your servant for good;
Do not let the proud oppress me.
¹²³ My eyes fail from seeking Your salvation
And Your righteous word.
¹²⁴ Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy,
And teach me Your statutes.
^125 (AE)I am Your servant;
Give me understanding,
That I may know Your testimonies.
¹²⁶ It is time for You to act, O Lord,
For they have ^[m]regarded Your law as void.
^127 (AF)Therefore I love Your commandments
More than gold, yes, than fine gold!
¹²⁸ Therefore all Your precepts concerning all things
I consider to be right;
I hate every false way.
