Psalm 119:124-130

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹²⁴ Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy and loving-kindness, and teach me Your statutes.

¹²⁵ I am Your servant; give me understanding (discernment and comprehension), that I may know (discern and be familiar with the character of) Your testimonies.

¹²⁶ It is time for the Lord to act; they have frustrated Your law.

¹²⁷ Therefore I love Your commandments more than [resplendent] gold, yes, more than [perfectly] refined gold.

¹²⁸ Therefore I esteem as right all, yes, all Your precepts; I hate every false way.

¹²⁹ Your testimonies are wonderful [far exceeding anything conceived by man]; therefore my [penitent] self keeps them [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying them].

¹³⁰ The entrance and unfolding of Your words give light; their unfolding gives understanding (discernment and comprehension) to the simple.
