Psalms 119:121-134

¹²¹But I have done what is right and fair/just; so do not allow people to oppress/mistreat me.

¹²²Promise me that you will do good things for me and do not allow proud people to oppress me.

¹²³My eyes are tired from waiting a long time for you to rescue me, for you to save me like you promised/said that you would.

¹²⁴Do something for me to show that you faithfully love me, and teach me ◄your statutes/what you have decreed that we should do►.

¹²⁵I am one who serves you; enable me to understand what you want me to know in order that I will know ◄your requirements/what you have instructed us to do►.

¹²⁶Yahweh, now is the time for you to punish people because they have disobeyed your laws.

¹²⁷Truly, I love ◄your commands/what you have commanded► more than I love gold; I love them more than I love very pure gold.

¹²⁸So I conduct my life by ◄your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do►, and I hate all the evil things that some people do.

¹²⁹◄Your requirements are/All the things that you have instructed us to do are► wonderful, so I obey them with all my inner being.

¹³⁰When someone explains ◄your words/what you have said►, it is as though they are lighting a light; what they say causes even people who have not learned your laws to be wise.

¹³¹I eagerly desire to know ◄your commands/what you have commanded►, like SIM a dog that pants with its mouth open wanting to be fed.

¹³²Listen to me and act kindly to me, like you do to all those who love you MTY.

¹³³Guide me as you promised/said that you would do and help me not to fall/sin; do not allow evil people to control what I do.

¹³⁴Rescue/Save me from those who oppress me in order that I may obey ◄your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do►.
