Psalms 119:86

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.

Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. I have to restore what I didn’t take away.

Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.

Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Don’t let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you;

They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into the middle of it themselves.

lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.

Yahweh’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. Yahweh’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.

Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn’t destroy them.

Yahweh, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.

Yahweh is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, who motions with his fingers,

But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’

It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments which I command you today, that Yahweh your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.

They reward me evil for good, to the bereaving of my soul.

Don’t let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.

But I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Don’t delay, my God.

They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.

They are established forever and ever. They are done in truth and uprightness.

Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments.

Let the proud be disappointed, for they have overthrown me wrongfully. I will meditate on your precepts.

The proud have dug pits for me, contrary to your law.

Through your precepts, I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.

One winking with the eye causes sorrow, but a chattering fool will fall.

Then Yahweh said to me, “Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not turn toward this people. Cast them out of my sight, and let them go out!

They have chased me relentlessly like a bird, those who are my enemies without cause.

I gave them my statutes, and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he will live in them.

But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

But we know that the law is good, if a person uses it lawfully,

For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.

having a good conscience. Thus, while you are spoken against as evildoers, they may be disappointed who curse your good way of life in Christ.

Only fear Yahweh, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things he has done for you.

For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.

The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”

Help me, Yahweh, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;

His work is honor and majesty. His righteousness endures forever.

Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to Yahweh’s law.

The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me. I will consider your statutes.

You are righteous, Yahweh. Your judgments are upright.

You have commanded your statutes in righteousness. They are fully trustworthy.

Your testimonies are righteous forever. Give me understanding, that I may live.

Of old I have known from your testimonies, that you have founded them forever.

I hate and abhor falsehood. I love your law.

The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me.

The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth.

Whoever digs a pit shall fall into it. Whoever rolls a stone, it will come back on him.

“Every word of God is flawless. He is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

He who digs a pit may fall into it; and whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake.

Let a cry be heard from their houses when you bring a troop suddenly on them; for they have dug a pit to take me and hidden snares for my feet.

For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.

Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

For I don’t know what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.

For I delight in God’s law after the inward man,

Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.

He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”

What great nation is there that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law which I set before you today?

For all his ordinances were before me. As for his statutes, I didn’t depart from them.

“Behold, I know your thoughts, the plans with which you would wrong me.

His ways are prosperous at all times. He is arrogant, and your laws are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.

The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. Yahweh’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.

For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.

But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.

But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. Yahweh, don’t delay.

The works of his hands are truth and justice. All his precepts are sure.

He will bless those who fear Yahweh, both small and great.

Therefore I consider all of your precepts to be right. I hate every false way.

Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness. Your law is truth.

You are near, Yahweh. All your commandments are truth.

All of your words are truth. Every one of your righteous ordinances endures forever.

Let my tongue sing of your word, for all your commandments are righteousness.

Deliver me, Yahweh, from my enemies. I flee to you to hide me.

Should evil be recompensed for good? For they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before you to speak good for them, to turn away your wrath from them.

You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.

But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, “Why are you reasoning so in your hearts?

For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.
