ס Samekh
113 I hate double-minded people,(A)
but I love your law.(B)
114 You are my refuge and my shield;(C)
I have put my hope(D) in your word.
115 Away from me,(E) you evildoers,
that I may keep the commands of my God!
116 Sustain me,(F) my God, according to your promise,(G) and I will live;
do not let my hopes be dashed.(H)
117 Uphold me,(I) and I will be delivered;(J)
I will always have regard for your decrees.(K)
118 You reject all who stray(L) from your decrees,
for their delusions come to nothing.
119 All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross;(M)
therefore I love your statutes.(N)
120 My flesh trembles(O) in fear of you;(P)
I stand in awe(Q) of your laws.

Samekh.
113
I hate those who are double-minded,
But I love and treasure Your law.
114
You are my hiding place and my shield;
I wait for Your word.(A)
115
Leave me, you evildoers,
That I may keep the commandments of my God [honoring and obeying them].(B)
116
Uphold me according to Your word [of promise], so that I may live;
And do not let me be ashamed of my hope [in Your great goodness].(C)
117
Uphold me that I may be safe,
That I may have regard for Your statutes continually.
118
You have turned Your back on all those who wander from Your statutes,
For their deceitfulness is useless.
119
You have removed all the wicked of the earth like dross [for they have no value];
Therefore I love Your testimonies.
120
My flesh trembles in [reverent] fear of You,
And I am afraid and in awe of Your judgments.

Samekh
113 I hate those with divided loyalties,
but I love your instructions.
114 You are my refuge and my shield;
your word is my source of hope.
115 Get out of my life, you evil-minded people,
for I intend to obey the commands of my God.
116 Lord, sustain me as you promised, that I may live!
Do not let my hope be crushed.
117 Sustain me, and I will be rescued;
then I will meditate continually on your decrees.
118 But you have rejected all who stray from your decrees.
They are only fooling themselves.
119 You skim off the wicked of the earth like scum;
no wonder I love to obey your laws!
120 I tremble in fear of you;
I stand in awe of your regulations.
Psalm 119:113-120
The Message
Psalm 119:113-120
The Message
113-120 I hate the two-faced,
but I love your clear-cut revelation.
You’re my place of quiet retreat;
I wait for your Word to renew me.
Get out of my life, evildoers,
so I can keep my God’s commands.
Take my side as you promised; I’ll live then for sure.
Don’t disappoint all my grand hopes.
Stick with me and I’ll be all right;
I’ll give total allegiance to your definitions of life.
Expose all who drift away from your sayings;
their casual idolatry is lethal.
You reject earth’s wicked as so much rubbish;
therefore I lovingly embrace everything you say.
I shiver in awe before you;
your decisions leave me speechless with reverence.
