Psalm 119:108-118 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

108. Lord, accept the praise I freely give you. Teach me your laws.

109. I keep putting my life in danger. But I won't forget to obey your law.

110. Evil people have set a trap for me. But I haven't wandered away from your rules.

111. Your covenant laws are your gift to me forever. They fill my heart with joy.

112. I have decided to obey your orders to the very end.

113. I hate people who can't make up their minds. But I love your law.

114. You are my place of safety. You are like a shield that keeps me safe. I have put my hope in your word.

115. Get away from me, you who do evil! Then I can do what my God commands me to do.

116. Keep me going as you have promised. Then I will live. Don't let me lose all hope.

117. Take good care of me, and I will be saved. I will always honor your orders.

118. You turn your back on all those who wander away from your orders. They lie and cheat, but it doesn't amount to anything.
