Psalm 119:113-120

Good News Translation

¹¹³ I hate those who are not completely loyal to you,
    but I love your law.
¹¹⁴ You are my defender and protector;
    I put my hope in your promise.
¹¹⁵ Go away from me, you sinful people.
    I will obey the commands of my God.
¹¹⁶ Give me strength, as you promised, and I shall live;
    don't let me be disappointed in my hope!
¹¹⁷ Hold me, and I will be safe,
    and I will always pay attention to your commands.
¹¹⁸ You reject everyone who disobeys your laws;
    their deceitful schemes are useless.
¹¹⁹ You treat all the wicked like rubbish,
    and so I love your instructions.
¹²⁰ Because of you I am afraid;
    I am filled with fear because of your judgments.
