Psalm 119:121-128 Part 3

                    AYIN 

Don't leave me to the mercy of my enemies,

    for I have done what is just and right.

Please guarantee a blessing for me.

    Don't let the arrogant oppress me!

My eyes strain to see your rescue,

    to see the truth of your promise fulfilled.

I am your servant; deal with me in unfailing love,

    and teach me your decrees.

Give discernment to me, your servant;

    then I will understand your laws.

LORD, it is time for you to act,

    for these evil people have violated your instructions.

Truly, I love your commands

    more than gold, even the finest gold.

Each of your commandments is right.

    That is why I hate every false way. 

 

Give discernment to me, your servant; then I will understand your laws.
