129 Your testimonies are wonderful;
Therefore my soul keeps them.
130 The entrance of Your words gives light;
tIt gives understanding to the usimple.
131 I opened my mouth and vpanted,
For I longed for Your commandments.
132 wLook upon me and be merciful to me,
xAs Your custom is toward those who love Your name.
133 yDirect my steps by Your word,
And zlet no iniquity have dominion over me.
134 aRedeem me from the oppression of man,
That I may keep Your precepts.
135 bMake Your face shine upon Your servant,
And teach me Your statutes.
136 cRivers of water run down from my eyes,
Because men do not keep Your law.

About The New King James VersionThe New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study. |
