115Ye wicked men, bow away from me; and I shall seek the commandments of my God. (All ye wicked people, go away from me; so that I can obey my God’s commandments.)
116Up-take thou me by thy word, and I shall live; and shame thou not me for mine abiding. (Lift up thou me or Strengthen thou me according to thy word, so that I may live; and do not let me be shamed for trusting in thee.)
117Help thou me, and I shall be safe; and I shall bethink evermore in thy justifyings. (Help thou me, and I shall be saved; and I shall think about thy statutes forevermore.)
118Thou hast forsaken all men going away from thy dooms; for the thought of them is unjust. (Thou hast abandoned all who stray, or who go away, from thy statutes; for their thoughts be not just, or proper.)
119I areckoned all the sinners of earth (to be) breakers of the law; therefore I loved thy witnessings. (Thou reckonest all the wicked of the earth to be but drit, or dirt; and so I love thy teachings.)
120Nail thou my flesh with thy dread; for I dreaded of thy dooms. (My flesh shaketh in fear of thee; because I fear thy judgements or because I revere thy justice.)
