Psalm 119:105-112

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰⁵ Your word is a lamp
that gives light
    wherever I walk.
¹⁰⁶ Your laws are fair,
    and I have given my word
    to respect them all.
¹⁰⁷ I am in terrible pain!
Save me, Lord,
    as you said you would.
¹⁰⁸ Accept my offerings of praise
    and teach me your laws.
¹⁰⁹ I never forget your teachings,
    although my life is always
    in danger.
¹¹⁰ Some merciless people
    are trying to trap me,
    but I never turn my back
    on your teachings.
¹¹¹ They will always be
my most prized possession
    and my source of joy.
¹¹² I have made up my mind
to obey your laws forever,
    no matter what.
