Psalms 119:106,115 - Compare All Versions

Share

By your words I can see where I’m going; they throw a beam of light on my dark path. I’ve committed myself and I’ll never turn back from living by your righteous order. Everything’s falling apart on me, GOD; put me together again with your Word. Adorn me with your finest sayings, GOD; teach me your holy rules. My life is as close as my own hands, but I don’t forget what you have revealed. The wicked do their best to throw me off track, but I don’t swerve an inch from your course. I inherited your book on living; it’s mine forever— what a gift! And how happy it makes me! I concentrate on doing exactly what you say— I always have and always will. * * *

I 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. * * *

Depart from me, ye evildoers: For I will keep the commandments of my God.

I have sworn and I will confirm it, That I will keep Your righteous ordinances.

Leave me, you evildoers, That I may keep the commandments of my God [honoring and obeying them]. [Ps 6:8; 139:19; Matt 7:23]

I’ve promised it once, and I’ll promise it again: I will obey your righteous regulations.

Get out of my life, you evil-minded people, for I intend to obey the commands of my God.

To live my life by your righteous rules has been my holy and lifelong commitment.

Go away! Leave me, all you workers of wickedness, for you can’t stop me from following every command of my God.

I have sworn an oath and confirmed it, to keep your righteous rules.

Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God.
