PSALM 119:25-35
Psalm 119:25-35 (New International Version) New International Version (NIV)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society




25 I am laid low in the dust;

preserve my life according to your word.

26 I recounted my ways and you answered me;

teach me your decrees.

27 Let me understand the teaching of your precepts;

then I will meditate on your wonders.

28 My soul is weary with sorrow;

strengthen me according to your word.

29 Keep me from deceitful ways;

be gracious to me through your law.

30 I have chosen the way of truth;

I have set my heart on your laws.

31 I hold fast to your statutes, O LORD ;

do not let me be put to shame.

32 I run in the path of your commands,

for you have set my heart free.

33 Teach me, O LORD , to follow your decrees;

then I will keep them to the end.

34 Give me understanding, and I will keep your law

and obey it with all my heart.

35 Direct me in the path of your commands,

for there I find delight.

    ...I never liked the NIV. I don't know...it seemed to take a lot of the beauty out of the language. King James was a LITTLE too old English. My favorite translation was always the RSV. Lisa :-]

    I love the book of Psalms. And Psalm 119 is one I've read quite often. I've never read it without feeling better afterwards; but then God's strength becomes ours through HIs words, doesn't it? Hugs, my friend. *Barb*
