Psalms 119:116-125

¹¹⁶Support me, Lord, as you promised, so I can live. Don't let my hope turn into discouragement.

¹¹⁷Support me, so I can be saved and always pay attention to your instructions.

¹¹⁸You reject all those who don't follow your instructions—they're fooling themselves by living a lie.

¹¹⁹You treat the wicked people on earth as something worthless to be discarded; therefore I love your laws.

¹²⁰I have goose bumps thinking of you—I'm in awe! I'm scared of your judgments!

¹²¹Ayin I have done what's fair and right, so please don't abandon me to my enemies.

¹²²Please promise you'll take care of me, your servant. Don't let these arrogant people mistreat me.

¹²³I strain my eyes looking for your salvation, watching for you to fulfill your promise to make everything good.

¹²⁴Please treat me, your servant, according to your trustworthy love. Teach me what you want me to do.

¹²⁵I am your servant. Please give me discernment so I can understand your instructions.
