Psalms 119:61 - Compare All Versions

Jaga

Because you have satisfied me, GOD, I promise to do everything you say. I beg you from the bottom of my heart: smile, be gracious to me just as you promised. When I took a long, careful look at your ways, I got my feet back on the trail you blazed. I was up at once, didn’t drag my feet, was quick to follow your orders. The wicked hemmed me in—there was no way out— but not for a minute did I forget your plan for me. I get up in the middle of the night to thank you; your decisions are so right, so true—I can’t wait till morning! I’m a friend and companion of all who fear you, of those committed to living by your rules. Your love, GOD, fills the earth! Train me to live by your counsel. * * *

The bands of the wicked have robbed me: But I have not forgotten thy law.

The cords of the wicked have encircled me, But I have not forgotten Your law.

Wicked people have tied me up, but I have not forgotten your teachings.

The cords of the wicked have wrapped me round; But I have not forgotten thy law.

Though the wicked bind me with ropes, I will not forget your law.

The cords of the wicked have bound me, But I have not forgotten Your law.

The cords of the wicked have encircled and ensnared me, But I have not forgotten Your law.

Evil people try to drag me into sin, but I am firmly anchored to your instructions.

Even when temptations encircle me with evil, I won’t forget for a moment to follow your commands.

Though the cords of the wicked ensnare me, I do not forget your law.
