Psalm 119:17-24

New International Version

¹⁷ Be good to your servant^(A) while I live,
    that I may obey your word.^(B)
18 Open my eyes that I may see
    wonderful things in your law.
¹⁹ I am a stranger on earth;^(C)
    do not hide your commands from me.
²⁰ My soul is consumed^(D) with longing
    for your laws^(E) at all times.
²¹ You rebuke the arrogant,^(F) who are accursed,^(G)
    those who stray^(H) from your commands.
²² Remove from me their scorn^(I) and contempt,
    for I keep your statutes.^(J)
23 Though rulers sit together and slander me,
    your servant will meditate on your decrees.
²⁴ Your statutes are my delight;
    they are my counselors.
