Psalms 119:158 - Compare All Versions

Share

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. * * *

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

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

I see those traitors, and I hate them, because they do not obey what you say.

I beheld the treacherous, and was grieved, Because they observe not thy word.

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

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

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

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

I grieve when I see how the faithless ones live, for they just walk away from your promises.

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