ESVEnglish Standard Version

Through your precepts I get understanding;

therefore I hate every false way.

Your word is a lamp to my feet

and a light to my path.

I have sworn an oath and confirmed it,

to keep your righteous rules.

I am severely afflicted;

give me life, O Lord, according to your word!

Accept my freewill offerings of praise, O Lord,

and teach me your rules.

I hold my life in my hand continually,

but I do not forget your law.

The wicked have laid a snare for me,

but I do not stray from your precepts.

Your testimonies are my heritage forever,

for they are the joy of my heart.

I incline my heart to perform your statutes

forever, to the end.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

I gain understanding from your precepts;

therefore I hate every wrong path.

Your word is a lamp for my feet,

a light on my path.

I have taken an oath and confirmed it,

that I will follow your righteous laws.

I have suffered much;

preserve my life, Lord, according to your word.

Accept, Lord, the willing praise of my mouth,

and teach me your laws.

Though I constantly take my life in my hands,

I will not forget your law.

The wicked have set a snare for me,

but I have not strayed from your precepts.

Your statutes are my heritage forever;

they are the joy of my heart.

My heart is set on keeping your decrees

to the very end.

NLTNew Living Translation

Your commandments give me understanding;

no wonder I hate every false way of life.

Your word is a lamp to guide my feet

and a light for my path.

I’ve promised it once, and I’ll promise it again:

I will obey your righteous regulations.

I have suffered much, O Lord;

restore my life again as you promised.

Lord, accept my offering of praise,

and teach me your regulations.

My life constantly hangs in the balance,

but I will not stop obeying your instructions.

The wicked have set their traps for me,

but I will not turn from your commandments.

Your laws are my treasure;

they are my heart’s delight.

I am determined to keep your decrees

to the very end.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

From your precepts I get understanding,

therefore I hate every false way.

Your word is a lamp to my feet

and a light to my path.

I have sworn an oath and confirmed it,

to heed your righteous ordinances.

I am very much afflicted;

O Yahweh, revive me according to your word.

Please accept the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Yahweh,

and teach me your ordinances.

My life is in danger continually,

yet I do not forget your law.

The wicked have laid a snare for me,

yet I do not wander from your precepts.

I have taken as my own your testimonies forever,

for they are the joy of my heart.

I have inclined my heart to do your statutes

forever, to the end.

KJV 1900King James Version

Through thy precepts I get understanding:

Therefore I hate every false way.

NUN.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,

And a light unto my path.

I have sworn, and I will perform it,

That I will keep thy righteous judgments.

I am afflicted very much:

Quicken me, O Lord, according unto thy word.

Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord,

And teach me thy judgments.

My soul is continually in my hand:

Yet do I not forget thy law.

The wicked have laid a snare for me:

Yet I erred not from thy precepts.

Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever:

For they are the rejoicing of my heart.

I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes

Alway, even unto the end.
