Psalm 119:113-128
New American Standard Bible
Samekh
113 I hate those who are (A)double-minded,
But I love Your (B)Law.
114 You are my (C)hiding place and my (D)shield;
I [a](E)wait for Your word.
115 (F)Leave me, you evildoers,
So that I may (G)comply with the commandments of my God.
116 (H)Sustain me according to Your [b]word, that I may live;
And (I)do not let me be [c]ashamed of my hope.
117 Sustain me so that I may be (J)safe,
That I may (K)have regard for Your statutes continually.
118 You have [d]rejected all those (L)who stray from Your statutes,
For their deceitfulness is [e]useless.
119 You have [f]removed all the wicked of the earth like [g](M)impurities;
Therefore I (N)love Your testimonies.
120 My flesh [h](O)trembles from the fear of You,
And I am (P)afraid of Your judgments.
Ayin
121 I have (Q)done justice and righteousness;
Do not leave me to my oppressors.
122 Be (R)a guarantor for Your servant for good;
Do not let the arrogant (S)oppress me.
123 My (T)eyes fail with longing for Your salvation,
And for Your righteous [i]word.
124 Deal with Your servant (U)according to Your graciousness,
And (V)teach me Your statutes.
125 (W)I am Your servant; (X)give me understanding,
So that I may know Your testimonies.
126 It is time for the Lord to (Y)act,
For they have broken Your Law.
127 Therefore I (Z)love Your commandments
Above gold, yes, above pure gold.
128 Therefore I carefully follow all Your (AA)precepts concerning everything,
I (AB)hate every false way.
