New American Standard Bible
Chapter 119
51The arrogant utterly deride me, Yet I do not turn aside from Your Law. 52I have remembered Your judgments from of old, Lord, And comfort myself. 53Burning indignation has seized me because of the wicked, Who abandon Your Law. 54Your statutes are my songs In the house of my pilgrimage. 55Lord, I remember Your name in the night, And keep Your Law. 56This has become mine, That I comply with Your precepts. 57The Lord is my portion; I have promised to keep Your words. 58I sought Your favor with all my heart; Be gracious to me according to Your word. 59I considered my ways And turned my feet to Your testimonies. 60I hurried and did not delay To keep Your commandments. 61The snares of the wicked have surrounded me, But I have not forgotten Your Law. 62At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You Because of Your righteous judgments. 63I am a companion to all those who fear You, And to those who keep Your precepts. 64The earth is full of Your goodness, Lord; Teach me Your statutes. 65You have treated Your servant well, Lord, according to Your word. 66Teach me good discernment and knowledge, For I believe in Your commandments. 67Before I was afflicted I went astray, But now I keep Your word. 68You are good and You do good; Teach me Your statutes. 69The arrogant have forged a lie against me; With all my heart I will comply with Your precepts. 70Their heart is insensitive, like fat, But I delight in Your Law. 71It is good for me that I was afflicted, So that I may learn Your statutes. 72The Law of Your mouth is better to me Than thousands of gold and silver pieces. 73Your hands made me and fashioned me; Give me understanding, so that I may learn Your commandments. 74May those who fear You see me and be glad, Because I wait for Your word.King James Version
56This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
57CHETH. Thou art my portion, O Lord: I have said that I would keep thy words.
64The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
65TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Lord, according unto thy word.

51The arrogant constantly ridicule me, but I do not turn away from your instruction. 52 Lord, I remember your judgments from long ago and find comfort. 53Rage seizes me because of the wicked who reject your instruction. 54Your statutes are the theme of my song during my earthly life. 55 Lord, I remember your name in the night, and I obey your instruction. 56This is my practice: I obey your precepts. 57The Lord is my portion; I have promised to keep your words. 58I have sought your favor with all my heart; be gracious to me according to your promise. 59I thought about my ways and turned my steps back to your decrees. 60I hurried, not hesitating to keep your commands. 61Though the ropes of the wicked were wrapped around me, I did not forget your instruction. 62I rise at midnight to thank you for your righteous judgments. 63I am a friend to all who fear you, to those who keep your precepts. 64 Lord, the earth is filled with your faithful love; teach me your statutes. 65 Lord, you have treated your servant well, just as you promised. 66Teach me good judgment and discernment, for I rely on your commands. 67Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your word. 68You are good, and you do what is good; teach me your statutes. 69The arrogant have smeared me with lies, but I obey your precepts with all my heart. 70Their hearts are hard and insensitive, but I delight in your instruction. 71It was good for me to be afflicted so that I could learn your statutes. 72Instruction from your lips is better for me than thousands of gold and silver pieces. 73Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding so that I can learn your commands. 74Those who fear you will see me and rejoice, for I put my hope in your word.New Living Translation
Chapter 119
51The proud hold me in utter contempt, but I do not turn away from your instructions. 52I meditate on your age-old regulations; O Lord, they comfort me. 53I become furious with the wicked, because they reject your instructions. 54Your decrees have been the theme of my songs wherever I have lived. 55I reflect at night on who you are, O Lord; therefore, I obey your instructions. 56This is how I spend my life: obeying your commandments.
57Lord, you are mine! I promise to obey your words!
58With all my heart I want your blessings. Be merciful as you promised.
59I pondered the direction of my life, and I turned to follow your laws.
60I will hurry, without delay, to obey your commands.
61Evil people try to drag me into sin, but I am firmly anchored to your instructions.
62I rise at midnight to thank you for your just regulations.
63I am a friend to anyone who fears you — anyone who obeys your commandments.
64O Lord, your unfailing love fills the earth; teach me your decrees.
65You have done many good things for me, Lord, just as you promised.
66I believe in your commands; now teach me good judgment and knowledge.
67I used to wander off until you disciplined me; but now I closely follow your word.
68You are good and do only good; teach me your decrees.
69Arrogant people smear me with lies, but in truth I obey your commandments with all my heart.
70Their hearts are dull and stupid, but I delight in your instructions.
71My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees.
72Your instructions are more valuable to me than millions in gold and silver.

51 The insolent utterly deride me, but I do not turn away from your law. 52When I think of your rules from of old, I take comfort, O Lord. 53 Hot indignation seizes me because of the wicked, who forsake your law. 54Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my sojourning. 55I remember your name in the night, O Lord, and keep your law. 56This blessing has fallen to me, that I have kept your precepts.
57 The Lord is my portion; I promise to keep your words.
58I entreat your favor with all my heart; be gracious to me according to your promise.
59When I think on my ways, I turn my feet to your testimonies;
60I hasten and do not delay to keep your commandments.
61Though the cords of the wicked ensnare me, I do not forget your law.
62At midnight I rise to praise you, because of your righteous rules.
63 I am a companion of all who fear you, of those who keep your precepts.
64 The earth, O Lord, is full of your steadfast love; teach me your statutes!
65You have dealt well with your servant, O Lord, according to your word.
66Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments.
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your word.
68 You are good and do good; teach me your statutes.
69 The insolent smear me with lies, but with my whole heart I keep your precepts;
70their heart is unfeeling like fat, but I delight in your law.
71It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes.
72 The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
