Psalm 119:20

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

What I want most of all and at all times is to honour your laws.

See the chapter Copy

And that is what God should do, because they don't like him or ever pray.

You bless those people who are honest and fair in everything they do.

I honestly want to know everything you teach.

I am waiting for you to save me, LORD. Your Law makes me happy.

I long for your teachings. Be true to yourself and let me live.

You are my God. I worship you. In my heart, I long for you, as I would long for a stream in a scorching desert.

Deep in my heart I long for your temple, and with all that I am I sing joyful songs to you.

Not getting what you want can make you feel sick, but a wish that comes true is a life-giving tree.

A friend is always a friend, and relatives are born to share our troubles.

Young women of Jerusalem, if you find the one I love, please say to him, “She is weak with desire.”
