113–120I hate the two-faced,

but I love your clear-cut revelation.

You’re my place of quiet retreat;

I wait for your Word to renew me.

Get out of my life, evildoers,

so I can keep my God’s commands.

Take my side as you promised; I’ll live then for sure.

Don’t disappoint all my grand hopes.

Stick with me and I’ll be all right;

I’ll give total allegiance to your definitions of life.

Expose all who drift away from your sayings;

their casual idolatry is lethal.

You reject earth’s wicked as so much rubbish;

therefore I lovingly embrace everything you say.

I shiver in awe before you;

your decisions leave me speechless with reverence.

Read in Logos
Psalm 119:114: You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word.

In other versions

ESVEnglish Standard Version

I hate the double-minded,

but I love your law.

You are my hiding place and my shield;

I hope in your word.

Depart from me, you evildoers,

that I may keep the commandments of my God.

Uphold me according to your promise, that I may live,

and let me not be put to shame in my hope!

Hold me up, that I may be safe

and have regard for your statutes continually!

You spurn all who go astray from your statutes,

for their cunning is in vain.

All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross,

therefore I love your testimonies.

My flesh trembles for fear of you,

and I am afraid of your judgments.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

I hate double-minded people,

but I love your law.

You are my refuge and my shield;

I have put my hope in your word.

Away from me, you evildoers,

that I may keep the commands of my God!

Sustain me, my God, according to your promise, and I will live;

do not let my hopes be dashed.

Uphold me, and I will be delivered;

I will always have regard for your decrees.

You reject all who stray from your decrees,

for their delusions come to nothing.

All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross;

therefore I love your statutes.

My flesh trembles in fear of you;

I stand in awe of your laws.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

I hate those who are double-minded,

but I love your instruction.

You are my shelter and my shield;

I put my hope in your word.

Depart from me, you evil ones,

so that I may obey my God’s commands.

Sustain me as you promised, and I will live;

do not let me be ashamed of my hope.

Sustain me so that I can be safe

and always be concerned about your statutes.

You reject all who stray from your statutes,

for their deceit is a lie.

You remove all the wicked on earth

as if they were dross from metal;

therefore, I love your decrees.

I tremble in awe of you;

I fear your judgments.

NLTNew Living Translation

I hate those with divided loyalties,

but I love your instructions.

You are my refuge and my shield;

your word is my source of hope.

Get out of my life, you evil-minded people,

for I intend to obey the commands of my God.

Lord, sustain me as you promised, that I may live!

Do not let my hope be crushed.

Sustain me, and I will be rescued;

then I will meditate continually on your decrees.

But you have rejected all who stray from your decrees.

They are only fooling themselves.

You skim off the wicked of the earth like scum;

no wonder I love to obey your laws!

I tremble in fear of you;

I stand in awe of your regulations.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

I hate the double-minded,

but I love your law.

You are my hiding place and my shield;

I hope in your word.

Turn aside from me, you evildoers,

for I will keep the commands of my God.

Sustain me according to your word, that I may live,

and do not let me be ashamed of my hope.

Uphold me, that I may be delivered,

and have regard for your statutes continually.

You reject all who stray from your statutes,

for their deceit is a breach of faith.

You remove all the wicked of the earth like dross,

therefore I love your testimonies.

My flesh trembles for fear of you,

and I am afraid of your judgments.

KJV 1900King James Version

SAMECH.

I hate vain thoughts:

But thy law do I love.

Thou art my hiding place and my shield:

I hope in thy word.

Depart from me, ye evildoers:

For I will keep the commandments of my God.

Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live:

And let me not be ashamed of my hope.

Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe:

And I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.

Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes:

For their deceit is falsehood.

Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross:

Therefore I love thy testimonies.

My flesh trembleth for fear of thee;

And I am afraid of thy judgments.
