Psalms 119:120-133 Common English Bible (CEB)

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.

124. Act toward your servant according to your faithful love.Teach me your statutes!

125. I’m your servant!Help me understand so I can know your laws.

126. It is time for the Lord to do something!Your Instruction has been broken.

127. But I love your commandmentsmore than gold, even more than pure gold.

128. That’s why I walk straight by every single one of your precepts.That’s why I hate every false path.

129. Your laws are wonderful!That’s why I guard them.

130. Access to your words gives light,giving simple folk understanding.

131. I open my mouth up wide, panting,because I long for your commandments.

132. Come back to me and have mercy on me;that’s only right for those who love your name.

133. Keep my steps steady by your word;don’t let any sin rule me.
