Psalm 119:121-128

Good News Translation

¹²¹ I have done what is right and good;
    don't abandon me to my enemies!
¹²² Promise that you will help your servant;
    don't let the arrogant oppress me!
¹²³ My eyes are tired from watching for your saving help,
    for the deliverance you promised.
¹²⁴ Treat me according to your constant love,
    and teach me your commands.
¹²⁵ I am your servant; give me understanding,
    so that I may know your teachings.
¹²⁶ Lord, it is time for you to act,
    because people are disobeying your law.
¹²⁷ I love your commands more than gold,
    more than the finest gold.
¹²⁸ And so I follow all your instructions;^[a]
    I hate all wrong ways.
