Psalms 119:44-53 Common English Bible (CEB)

44. I will always keep your Instruction,always and forever!

45. I will walk around in wide-open spaces,because I have pursued your precepts.

46. I will talk about your lawsbefore rulers with no shame whatsoever.

47. I will rejoice in your commandmentsbecause I love them.

48. I will lift up my hands to your commandmentsbecause I love them,and I will contemplate all your statutes.

49. Remember your promise to your servant,for which you made me wait.

50. My comfort during my suffering is this:your word gives me new life.

51. The arrogant make fun of me to no end,but I haven’t deviated from your Instruction.

52. When I remember your ancient rules,I’m comforted, Lord.

53. But I’m seized with anger because of the wicked—because of those who abandon your Instruction.
