Psalms 119:121-123
Psalms 119:121-128 The Message (MSG)
I stood up for justice and the right; don’t leave me to the mercy of my oppressors. Take the side of your servant, good God; don’t let the godless take advantage of me. I can’t keep my eyes open any longer, waiting for you to keep your promise to set everything right. Let your love dictate how you deal with me; teach me from your textbook on life. I’m your servant—help me understand what that means, the inner meaning of your instructions. It’s time to act, GOD; they’ve made a shambles of your revelation! Yea-Saying God, I love what you command, I love it better than gold and gemstones; Yea-Saying God, I honor everything you tell me, I despise every deceitful detour. * * *
Psalms 119:121-123 King James Version (KJV)

Psalms 119:121-123 American Standard Version (ASV)

¶I have done justice and righteousness; Do not leave me to those who oppress me.
