Psalms 119:157 - Compare All Versions

Take a good look at my trouble, and help me— I haven’t forgotten your revelation. Take my side and get me out of this; give me back my life, just as you promised. “Salvation” is only gibberish to the wicked because they’ve never looked it up in your dictionary. Your mercies, GOD, run into the billions; following your guidelines, revive me. My antagonists are too many to count, but I don’t swerve from the directions you gave. I took one look at the quitters and was filled with loathing; they walked away from your promises so casually! Take note of how I love what you tell me; out of your life of love, prolong my life. Your words all add up to the sum total: Truth. Your righteous decisions are eternal. * * *

Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; Yet do I not decline from thy testimonies.

Many are my persecutors and my adversaries, Yet I do not turn aside from Your testimonies.

Many enemies are after me, but I have not rejected your rules.

Many are my persecutors and mine adversaries; Yet have I not swerved from thy testimonies.

Many are the foes who persecute me, but I have not turned from your statutes.

Many are my persecutors and my enemies, Yet I do not turn from Your testimonies.

Many are my persecutors and my adversaries, Yet I do not turn away from Your testimonies.

Many persecute and trouble me, yet I have not swerved from your laws.

I have so many enemies who persecute me, yet I won’t swerve from following your ways.

Many are my persecutors and my adversaries, but I do not swerve from your testimonies.
