Psalm 119:101

Contemporary English Version 1995

I obey your word instead of following a way that leads to trouble.

See the chapter Copy

Don't follow anyone like that or do what they do.

Give up your evil ways and your evil thoughts. Return to the Lord our God. He will be merciful and forgive your sins.

They give me understanding and make me hate all lies.

All of us were like sheep that had wandered off. We had each gone our own way, but the Lord gave him the punishment we deserved.

I obey you completely and guard against sin.

When Assyria let you down, you quickly ran to Egypt, but you'll find no help there,

Do something, Lord! They have broken your Law.

You bless all those who follow your commands from deep in their hearts
