New American Standard Bible
Chapter 119
25My soul clings to the dust; Revive me according to Your word. 26I have told of my ways, and You have answered me; Teach me Your statutes. 27Make me understand the way of Your precepts, And I will meditate on Your wonders. 28My soul weeps because of grief; Strengthen me according to Your word. 29Remove the false way from me, And graciously grant me Your Law. 30I have chosen the faithful way; I have placed Your judgments before me. 31I cling to Your testimonies; Lord, do not put me to shame! 32I shall run the way of Your commandments, For You will enlarge my heart. 33Teach me, the way of Your statutes, Lord, And I shall comply with it to the end. 34Give me understanding, so that I may comply with Your Law And keep it with all my heart. 35Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, For I delight in it. 36Incline my heart to Your testimonies, And not to dishonest gain.King James Version

25My life is down in the dust; give me life through your word. 26I told you about my life, and you answered me; teach me your statutes. 27Help me understand the meaning of your precepts so that I can meditate on your wonders. 28I am weary from grief; strengthen me through your word. 29Keep me from the way of deceit and graciously give me your instruction. 30I have chosen the way of truth; I have set your ordinances before me. 31I cling to your decrees; Lord, do not put me to shame. 32I pursue the way of your commands, for you broaden my understanding. 33Teach me, Lord, the meaning of your statutes, and I will always keep them. 34Help me understand your instruction, and I will obey it and follow it with all my heart. 35Help me stay on the path of your commands, for I take pleasure in it. 36Turn my heart to your decrees and not to dishonest profit.New Living Translation

25I lie in the dust; revive me by your word. 26I told you my plans, and you answered. Now teach me your decrees. 27Help me understand the meaning of your commandments, and I will meditate on your wonderful deeds. 28I weep with sorrow; encourage me by your word. 29Keep me from lying to myself; give me the privilege of knowing your instructions. 30I have chosen to be faithful; I have determined to live by your regulations. 31I cling to your laws. Lord, don’t let me be put to shame! 32I will pursue your commands, for you expand my understanding.
33Teach me your decrees, O Lord; I will keep them to the end.
34Give me understanding and I will obey your instructions; I will put them into practice with all my heart.
35Make me walk along the path of your commands, for that is where my happiness is found.
36Give me an eagerness for your laws rather than a love for money!
