129Your covenant laws are wonderful.

So I obey them.

130When your words are made clear, they bring light.

They bring understanding to childish people.

131I open my mouth and pant like a dog,

because I long to know your commands.

132Turn to me and show me your favor.

That’s what you’ve always done for those who love you.

133Teach me how to live as you have promised.

Don’t let any sin be my master.

Your testimonies are wonderful;

therefore my soul keeps them.

The unfolding of your words gives light;

it imparts understanding to the simple.

because I long for your commandments.

Turn to me and be gracious to me,

as is your way with those who love your name.

Keep steady my steps according to your promise,

and let no iniquity get dominion over me.

Direct my footsteps according to your word;

let no sin rule over me.

Make my steps steady through your promise;

don’t let any sin dominate me.

Your laws are wonderful.

No wonder I obey them!

The teaching of your word gives light,

so even the simple can understand.

longing for your commands.

Come and show me your mercy,

as you do for all who love your name.

Guide my steps by your word,

so I will not be overcome by evil.

therefore my soul keeps them.

The unfolding of your words gives light,

giving understanding to the simple.

because I long for your commands.

Turn to me and be gracious to me,

as is proper for those who love your name.

Direct my steps in your word,

and do not let any iniquity gain power over me.

KJV 1900King James Version

PE.

Thy testimonies are wonderful:

Therefore doth my soul keep them.

The entrance of thy words giveth light;

It giveth understanding unto the simple.

I opened my mouth, and panted:

For I longed for thy commandments.

Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me,

As thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.

Order my steps in thy word:

And let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
