Psalms 119:122-132

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.

¹²⁶Lord, it's time for you to act, for these people have broken your laws.

¹²⁷This is why I love your commandments more than gold, more than the finest gold.

¹²⁸All of your rules are right in every way, and so I hate any way of life that's just a lie.

¹²⁹Pe Your laws are truly wonderful—that's why I keep them!

¹³⁰Studying your words brings light so that even the uneducated can understand.

¹³¹With keen desire I long for what you have to say.

¹³²Please pay attention to me and be kind to me, as you are with those who love you.
