New American Standard Bible
Chapter 119
58I sought Your favor with all my heart; Be gracious to me according to Your word. 59I considered my ways And turned my feet to Your testimonies. 60I hurried and did not delay To keep Your commandments. 61The snares of the wicked have surrounded me, But I have not forgotten Your Law. 62At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You Because of Your righteous judgments. 63I am a companion to all those who fear You, And to those who keep Your precepts. 64The earth is full of Your goodness, Lord; Teach me Your statutes. 65You have treated Your servant well, Lord, according to Your word. 66Teach me good discernment and knowledge, For I believe in Your commandments. 67Before I was afflicted I went astray, But now I keep Your word. 68You are good and You do good; Teach me Your statutes. 69The arrogant have forged a lie against me; With all my heart I will comply with Your precepts. 70Their heart is insensitive, like fat, But I delight in Your Law. 71It is good for me that I was afflicted, So that I may learn Your statutes. 72The Law of Your mouth is better to me Than thousands of gold and silver pieces. 73Your hands made me and fashioned me; Give me understanding, so that I may learn Your commandments. 74May those who fear You see me and be glad, Because I wait for Your word. 75I know, Lord, that Your judgments are righteous, And that You have afflicted me in faithfulness. 76May Your favor comfort me, According to Your word to Your servant.King James Version

58I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.
59I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
60I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.
65TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word.
66Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.

Chapter 119
58I have sought your favor with all my heart; be gracious to me according to your promise. 59I thought about my ways and turned my steps back to your decrees. 60I hurried, not hesitating to keep your commands. 61Though the ropes of the wicked were wrapped around me, I did not forget your instruction. 62I rise at midnight to thank you for your righteous judgments. 63I am a friend to all who fear you, to those who keep your precepts. 64Lord, the earth is filled with your faithful love; teach me your statutes. 65Lord, you have treated your servant well, just as you promised. 66Teach me good judgment and discernment, for I rely on your commands. 67Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your word. 68You are good, and you do what is good; teach me your statutes. 69The arrogant have smeared me with lies, but I obey your precepts with all my heart. 70Their hearts are hard and insensitive, but I delight in your instruction. 71It was good for me to be afflicted so that I could learn your statutes. 72Instruction from your lips is better for me than thousands of gold and silver pieces. 73Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding so that I can learn your commands. 74Those who fear you will see me and rejoice, for I put my hope in your word. 75I know, Lord, that your judgments are just and that you have afflicted me fairly. 76May your faithful love comfort me as you promised your servant.New Living Translation
Chapter 119
58With all my heart I want your blessings. Be merciful as you promised. 59I pondered the direction of my life, and I turned to follow your laws. 60I will hurry, without delay, to obey your commands. 61Evil people try to drag me into sin, but I am firmly anchored to your instructions. 62I rise at midnight to thank you for your just regulations. 63I am a friend to anyone who fears you — anyone who obeys your commandments. 64O Lord, your unfailing love fills the earth; teach me your decrees.
65You have done many good things for me, Lord, just as you promised.
66I believe in your commands; now teach me good judgment and knowledge.
67I used to wander off until you disciplined me; but now I closely follow your word.
68You are good and do only good; teach me your decrees.
69Arrogant people smear me with lies, but in truth I obey your commandments with all my heart.
70Their hearts are dull and stupid, but I delight in your instructions.
71My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees.
72Your instructions are more valuable to me than millions in gold and silver.
73You made me; you created me. Now give me the sense to follow your commands.
74May all who fear you find in me a cause for joy, for I have put my hope in your word.
75I know, O Lord, that your regulations are fair; you disciplined me because I needed it.
76Now let your unfailing love comfort me, just as you promised me, your servant.
