Psalm 119:33-72
OpenTeach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes, and I shall keep it to the end.
Give me understanding, and I shall keep your law; indeed, I shall keep it with my whole heart.
Make me go in the path of your commandments, for therein is my desire.
Incline my heart to your testimonies, and not to covetous desires.
O turn away my eyes, lest they behold vanity, and revive me in your ways.
Confirm your word to your servant, and to all those who fear you.
Take away the reproach that I am afraid of, for your judgments are good.
Behold, my delight is in your precepts; O revive me in your righteousness.
Let your loving mercy come to me, O Lord, even your salvation, according to your word.
So shall I answer those who taunt me, for my trust is in your word.
O do not take the word of your truth utterly out of my mouth, for my hope is in your judgments.
So shall I always keep your law, even for ever and ever;
And I will walk at liberty, for I seek your commandments.
I will speak of your testimonies also, even before kings, and will not be ashamed;
And my delight shall be in your commandments, which I have loved exceedingly.
My hands also will I lift up to your commandments, and I will meditate on your statutes.
O remember your word to your servant, in which you have caused me to put my trust.
This is my comfort in my trouble, for your word has given me life.
The proud have held me exceedingly in derision, yet I have not turned aside from your law.
For I have remembered, O Lord, your judgments from of old, and by them I have received comfort.
I am filled with indignation, because of the ungodly who forsake your law.
Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
I have thought upon your Name, O Lord, in the night season, and I have kept your law.
This has been my reward, because I have kept your commandments.
You are my portion, O Lord; I have promised to keep your law.
I made my humble petition in your presence with my whole heart; O be merciful to me, according to your word.
I have called my ways to remembrance and turned my feet to your testimonies.
I made haste and did not delay to keep your commandments.
The cords of the ungodly have encircled me, but I have not forgotten your law.
At midnight I will rise to give thanks to you, because of your righteous judgments.
I am a companion of all those who fear you and keep your commandments.
The earth, O Lord, is full of your mercy; O teach me your statutes.
O Lord, you have dealt graciously with your servant, according to your word.
O teach me true understanding and knowledge, for I have believed your commandments.
Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your word.
You are good and gracious; O teach me your statutes.
The proud have slandered me with lies, but I will keep your commandments with my whole heart.
Their heart has become gross with fatness, but my delight is in your law.
It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes.
The law of your mouth is dearer to me than thousands in gold and silver.
