New Living Translation (NLT)
Psalm 119
144 Your laws are always right; help me to understand them so I may live.
145 I pray with all my heart; answer me, LORD! I will obey your decrees.
146 I cry out to you; rescue me, that I may obey your laws.
147 I rise early, before the sun is up; I cry out for help and put my hope in your words.
148 I stay awake through the night, thinking about your promise.
149 In your faithful love, O LORD, hear my cry; let me be revived by following your regulations.
150 Lawless people are coming to attack me; they live far from your instructions.
151 But you are near, O LORD, and all your commands are true.
152 I have known from my earliest days that your laws will last forever.
153 Look upon my suffering and rescue me, for I have not forgotten your instructions.
154 Argue my case; take my side! Protect my life as you promised.
