Psalm 119:113–128

¹¹³I hate the double-minded,

but I love your law.^*

¹¹⁴You are my hiding place and my shield;

I hope in your word.^*

¹¹⁵Go away from me, you evildoers,

that I may keep the commandments of my God.^*

¹¹⁶Uphold me according to your promise, that I may live,

and let me not be put to shame in my hope.^*

¹¹⁷Hold me up, that I may be safe

and have regard for your statutes continually.

¹¹⁸You spurn all who go astray from your statutes,

for their cunning is in vain.^*

¹¹⁹All the wicked of the earth I countⁿ as dross;

therefore I love your decrees.^*

¹²⁰My flesh trembles for fear of you,

and I am afraid of your judgments.^*

¹²¹I have done what is just and right;

do not leave me to my oppressors.

¹²²Guarantee your servant’s well-being;

do not let the godless oppress me.^*

¹²³My eyes fail from watching for your salvation

and for the fulfillment of your righteous promise.^*

¹²⁴Deal with your servant according to your steadfast love,

and teach me your statutes.^*

¹²⁵I am your servant; give me understanding,

so that I may know your decrees.^*

¹²⁶It is time for the Lord to act,

for your law has been broken.

¹²⁷Truly I love your commandments

more than gold, more than fine gold.^*

¹²⁸Truly I direct my steps by all your precepts;^o

I hate every false way.^*
