Psalm 119:113–128

Samek

¹¹³I hate the double-minded,^j

but I love your law.

¹¹⁴You are my hiding place and my shield;

I hope in your word.

¹¹⁵Turn aside from me, you evildoers,

for I will keep the commands of my God.

¹¹⁶Sustain me according to your word,^k that I may live,

and do not let me be ashamed of my hope.

¹¹⁷Uphold me, that I may be delivered,

and have regard for your statutes continually.

¹¹⁸You reject all who stray from your statutes,

for their deceit is a breach of faith.

¹¹⁹You remove all the wicked of the earth like dross,

therefore I love your testimonies.

¹²⁰My flesh trembles for fear of you,

and I am afraid of your judgments.

ʽAyin

¹²¹I have done justice and righteousness;^l

do not leave me to my oppressors.

¹²²Pledge good for your servant;

do not let the arrogant oppress me.

¹²³My eyes long for^m your salvation,

and your righteous word.ⁿ

¹²⁴Deal with your servant according to your loyal love,

and teach me your statutes.

¹²⁵I am your servant; give me understanding,

that I may know your statutes.

¹²⁶It is time for Yahweh to act,^o

for they have broken your law.

¹²⁷Therefore I love your commands

more than gold, even fine gold.

¹²⁸Therefore all your precepts of everything I regard as right;

I hate every false way.
