Psalms 119:136,158 - Compare All Versions

Share

Streams of tears flow from my eyes, for your law is not obeyed.

I look on the faithless with loathing, for they do not obey your word.

My eyes shed streams of tears, because people do not keep your law.

I look at the faithless with disgust, because they do not keep your commands.

Rivers of tears gush from my eyes because people disobey your instructions.

Seeing these traitors makes me sick at heart, because they care nothing for your word.

My eyes pour out streams of tears  because people do not follow your instruction.

I have seen the disloyal  and feel disgust  because they do not keep your word.

Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, Because they keep not thy law.

I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; Because they kept not thy word.

Rivers of water run down from my eyes, Because men do not keep Your law.

I see the treacherous, and am disgusted, Because they do not keep Your word.

Every word you give me is a miracle word— how could I help but obey? Break open your words, let the light shine out, let ordinary people see the meaning. Mouth open and panting, I wanted your commands more than anything. Turn my way, look kindly on me, as you always do to those who personally love you. Steady my steps with your Word of promise so nothing malign gets the better of me. Rescue me from the grip of bad men and women so I can live life your way. Smile on me, your servant; teach me the right way to live. I cry rivers of tears because nobody’s living by your book! * * *

Take a good look at my trouble, and help me— I haven’t forgotten your revelation. Take my side and get me out of this; give me back my life, just as you promised. “Salvation” is only gibberish to the wicked because they’ve never looked it up in your dictionary. Your mercies, GOD, run into the billions; following your guidelines, revive me. My antagonists are too many to count, but I don’t swerve from the directions you gave. I took one look at the quitters and was filled with loathing; they walked away from your promises so casually! Take note of how I love what you tell me; out of your life of love, prolong my life. Your words all add up to the sum total: Truth. Your righteous decisions are eternal. * * *

My eyes shed streams of water, Because they do not keep Your Law.

I see the treacherous and loathe them, Because they do not keep Your word.

My eyes weep streams of water Because people do not keep Your law.

I see the treacherous and loathe them, Because they do not respect Your law.

Tears stream down from my eyes, because people do not keep your law. צ (Tsade)

I take note of the treacherous and despise them, because they do not keep your instructions.
