Psalm 119:18
Amplified Bible
18
Open my eyes [to spiritual truth] so that I may behold
Wonderful things from Your law.
Psalm 119:18
Contemporary English Version
18 Open my mind
and let me discover
the wonders of your Law.
Psalm 119:18

18 Open my eyes to see
the wonderful truths in your instructions.
Psalm 119:18
The Voice
18 Let me see clearly so that I may take in
the amazing things coming from Your law.
Psalm 119:18-24
The Message
17-24 Be generous with me and I’ll live a full life;
not for a minute will I take my eyes off your road.
Open my eyes so I can see
what you show me of your miracle-wonders.
I’m a stranger in these parts;
give me clear directions.
My soul is starved and hungry, ravenous!—
insatiable for your nourishing commands.
And those who think they know so much,
ignoring everything you tell them—let them have it!
Don’t let them mock and humiliate me;
I’ve been careful to do just what you said.
While bad neighbors maliciously gossip about me,
I’m absorbed in pondering your wise counsel.
Yes, your sayings on life are what give me delight;
I listen to them as to good neighbors!
