Psalm 119:121-128

New Living Translation

¹²¹ Don’t leave me to the mercy of my enemies,
    for I have done what is just and right.
¹²² Please guarantee a blessing for me.
    Don’t let the arrogant oppress me!
¹²³ My eyes strain to see your rescue,
    to see the truth of your promise fulfilled.
¹²⁴ I am your servant; deal with me in unfailing love,
    and teach me your decrees.
¹²⁵ Give discernment to me, your servant;
    then I will understand your laws.
¹²⁶ Lord, it is time for you to act,
    for these evil people have violated your instructions.
¹²⁷ Truly, I love your commands
    more than gold, even the finest gold.
¹²⁸ Each of your commandments is right.
    That is why I hate every false way.
