MSG

NIV

141 I'm too young to be important, but I don't forget what you tell me.
141 Though I am lowly and despised, I do not forget your precepts.
142 Your righteousness is eternally right, your revelation is the only truth.
142 Your righteousness is everlasting and your law is true.
143 Even though troubles came down on me hard, your commands always gave me delight.
143 Trouble and distress have come upon me, but your commands give me delight.
144 The way you tell me to live is always right; help me understand it so I can live to the fullest.
144 Your statutes are always righteous; give me understanding that I may live.
145 I call out at the top of my lungs, "God! Answer! I'll do whatever you say."
145 I call with all my heart; answer me, LORD, and I will obey your decrees.
146 I called to you, "Save me so I can carry out all your instructions."
146 I call out to you; save me and I will keep your statutes.
147 I was up before sunrise, crying for help, hoping for a word from you.
147 I rise before dawn and cry for help; I have put my hope in your word.
148 I stayed awake all night, prayerfully pondering your promise.
148 My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promises.
149 In your love, listen to me; in your justice, God, keep me alive.
149 Hear my voice in accordance with your love; preserve my life, LORD, according to your laws.
150 As those out to get me come closer and closer, they go farther and farther from the truth you reveal;
150 Those who devise wicked schemes are near, but they are far from your law.
151 But you're the closest of all to me, God, and all your judgments true.
151 Yet you are near, LORD, and all your commands are true.
