Indignation grips me because of the wicked, who have forsaken your law.

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

Hot indignation seizes me because of the wicked, who forsake your law.

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

I become furious with the wicked, because they reject your instructions.

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

Fury seizes me  because of the wicked who reject your instruction.

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

Horror hath taken hold upon me Because of the wicked that forsake thy law.

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

Indignation has taken hold of me Because of the wicked, who forsake Your law.

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

Remember what you said to me, your servant— I hang on to these words for dear life! These words hold me up in bad times; yes, your promises rejuvenate me. The haters hate me without mercy, but I don’t budge from your revelation. I watch for your ancient landmark words, and know I’m on the right track. But when I see the wicked ignore your directions, I’m beside myself with anger. I set your instructions to music and sing them as I walk this pilgrim way. I meditate on your name all night, GOD, treasuring your revelation, O GOD. Still, I walk through a rain of derision because I live by your Word and counsel. * * *

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! * * *

Burning indignation has seized me because of the wicked, Who abandon Your Law.

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

Burning indignation has seized me because of the wicked, Who reject Your law.

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

Rage takes hold of me because of the wicked, those who reject your law.

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