New International Version

Psalm 119:125-131 New International Version (NIV)

125. I am your servant; give me discernment that I may understand your statutes.

126. It is time for you to act, Lord; your law is being broken.

127. Because I love your commands more than gold, more than pure gold,

128. and because I consider all your precepts right, I hate every wrong path.

129. Your statutes are wonderful; therefore I obey them.

130. The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.

131. I open my mouth and pant, longing for your commands.
