Psalms 119:112-123 Common English Bible (CEB)

112. I have decided to keep your statutes forever, every last one.

113. I hate fickle people,but I love your Instruction.

114. You are my shelter and my shield—I wait for your promise.

115. Get away from me, you evildoers;I want to guard my God’s commandments!

116. Sustain me according to your word so I can live!Don’t let me be put to shame because of hope.

117. Support me so I can be savedand so I can focus constantly on your statutes.

118. You discard everyone who strays from your statutesbecause they are dishonest and false.

119. You dispose of all the wicked people on earth like waste—that’s why I love your laws.

120. My body shudders because I fear you;I’m in awe of your rules.

121. I’ve done what is just and right.Don’t just hand me over to my oppressors.

122. Guarantee good things for your servant.Please don’t let the arrogant oppress me.

123. My eyes are worn out looking for your saving help—looking for your word that will set things right.
