121I have done what is fair and right.

Don’t leave me to those who wrong me.

122Promise that you will help me, your servant.

Don’t let proud people wrong me.

123My eyes are tired from looking for your salvation

and for your good promise.

124Show your love to me, your servant,

and teach me your demands.

125I am your servant. Give me wisdom

so I can understand your rules.

126Lord, it is time for you to do something,

because people have disobeyed your teachings.

127I love your commands

more than the purest gold.

128I respect all your orders,

so I hate lying ways.

I have done what is just and right;

do not leave me to my oppressors.

let not the insolent oppress me.

I hate every false way.

I have done what is righteous and just;

do not leave me to my oppressors.

do not let the arrogant oppress me.

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.

do not leave me to my oppressors.

and for your righteous promise.

Deal with your servant based on your faithful love;

teach me your statutes.

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.

NLTNew Living Translation

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!

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.

for these evil people have violated your instructions.

more than gold, even the finest gold.

Each of your commandments is right.

That is why I hate every false way.

AIN.

I have done judgment and justice:

Leave me not to mine oppressors.

Be surety for thy servant for good:

Let not the proud oppress me.

Mine eyes fail for thy salvation,

And for the word of thy righteousness.

Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy,

And teach me thy statutes.

I am thy servant; give me understanding,

That I may know thy testimonies.

It is time for thee, Lord, to work:

For they have made void thy law.

Therefore I love thy commandments

Above gold; yea, above fine gold.

Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right;

And I hate every false way.
