LORD, show me your love,
and save me as you have promised.
I have an answer for people who insult me,
because I trust what you say.
Never keep me from speaking your truth,
because I depend on your fair laws.
I will obey your teachings
forever and ever.
So I will live in freedom,
because I want to follow your orders.
I will discuss your rules with kings
and will not be ashamed.
I enjoy obeying your commands,
which I love.
I praise your commands, which I love,
and I think about your demands.
Remember your promise to me, your servant;
it gives me hope.
When I suffer, this comforts me:
Your promise gives me life.
Proud people always make fun of me,
but I do not reject your teachings.
I remember your laws from long ago,
and they comfort me, LORD.
I become angry with wicked people
who do not keep your teachings.
I sing about your demands
wherever I live.
LORD, I remember you at night,
and I will obey your teachings.
This is what I do:
I follow your orders.
LORD, you are my share in life;
I have promised to obey your words.
I prayed to you with all my heart.
Have mercy on me as you have promised.
I thought about my life,
and I decided to follow your rules.
I hurried and did not wait
to obey your commands.
Wicked people have tied me up,
but I have not forgotten your teachings.
In the middle of the night, I get up to thank you
because your laws are right.
I am a friend to everyone who fears you,
to anyone who obeys your orders.
LORD, your love fills the earth.
Teach me your demands.
You have done good things for your servant,
as you have promised, LORD.
Teach me wisdom and knowledge
because I trust your commands.
Before I suffered, I did wrong,
but now I obey your word.
You are good, and you do what is good.
Teach me your demands.
Proud people have made up lies about me,
but I will follow your orders with all my heart.
Those people have no feelings,
but I love your teachings.
It was good for me to suffer
so I would learn your demands.
Your teachings are worth more to me
than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.
You made me and formed me with your hands.
Give me understanding so I can learn your commands.
Let those who respect you rejoice when they see me,
because I put my hope in your word.
LORD, I know that your laws are right
and that it was right for you to punish me.
Comfort me with your love,
as you promised me, your servant.
Have mercy on me so that I may live.
I love your teachings.
Make proud people ashamed because they lied about me.
But I will think about your orders.
Let those who respect you return to me,
those who know your rules.
Let me obey your demands perfectly
so I will not be ashamed.
