NIVNew International Version (2011)

I have done what is righteous and just;

do not leave me to my oppressors.

Ensure your servant’s well-being;

do not let the arrogant oppress me.

My eyes fail, looking for your salvation,

looking for your righteous promise.

Deal with your servant according to your love

and teach me your decrees.

I am your servant; give me discernment

that I may understand your statutes.

It is time for you to act, Lord;

your law is being broken.

Because I love your commands

more than gold, more than pure gold,

and because I consider all your precepts right,

I hate every wrong path.

I have done what is just and right;

do not leave me to my oppressors.

Guarantee your servant’s well-being;

do not let the arrogant oppress me.

My eyes grow weary looking for your salvation

and for your righteous promise.

Deal with your servant based on your faithful love;

teach me your statutes.

I am your servant; give me understanding

so that I may know your decrees.

It is time for the Lord to act,

for they have violated your instruction.

Since I love your commands

more than gold, even the purest gold,

I carefully follow all your precepts

and hate every false way.

Don’t leave me to the mercy of my enemies,

for I have done what is just and right.

Please guarantee a blessing for me.

Don’t let the arrogant oppress me!

My eyes strain to see your rescue,

to see the truth of your promise fulfilled.

I am your servant; deal with me in unfailing love,

and teach me your decrees.

Give discernment to me, your servant;

then I will understand your laws.

Lord, it is time for you to act,

for these evil people have violated your instructions.

Truly, I love your commands

more than gold, even the finest gold.

Each of your commandments is right.

That is why I hate every false way.
