119:023 Though princes sit and slander me, your servant will meditate
on your statutes.
119:024 Indeed your statutes are my delight, and my counselors.
119:025 My soul is laid low in the dust. Revive me according
to your word!
119:026 I declared my ways, and you answered me. Teach me your statutes.
119:027 Let me understand the teaching of your precepts!
Then I will meditate on your wondrous works.
119:028 My soul is weary with sorrow: strengthen me according
to your word.
119:029 Keep me from the way of deceit. Grant me your law graciously!
119:030 I have chosen the way of truth. I have set your ordinances
before me.
119:031 I cling to your statutes, Yahweh. Don't let me be disappointed.
119:032 I run in the path of your commandments, for you have set
my heart free.
119:033 Teach me, Yahweh, the way of your statutes. I will keep them
to the end.
119:034 Give me understanding, and I will keep your law. Yes, I will
obey it with my whole heart.
119:035 Direct me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in them.
119:036 Turn my heart toward your statutes, not toward selfish gain.
119:037 Turn my eyes away from looking at worthless things.
Revive me in your ways.
119:038 Fulfill your promise to your servant, that you may be feared.
119:039 Take away my disgrace that I dread, for your ordinances are good.
119:040 Behold, I long for your precepts! Revive me in your righteousness.
119:041 Let your loving kindness also come to me, Yahweh, your salvation,
according to your word.
119:042 So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me, for I
trust in your word.
119:043 Don't snatch the word of truth out of my mouth, for I put
my hope in your ordinances.
119:044 So I will obey your law continually, forever and ever.
119:045 I will walk in liberty, for I have sought your precepts.
119:046 I will also speak of your statutes before kings, and will
not be disappointed.
119:047 I will delight myself in your commandments, because I love them.
119:048 I reach out my hands for your commandments, which I love.
I will meditate on your statutes.
119:049 Remember your word to your servant, because you gave me hope.
119:050 This is my comfort in my affliction, for your word has revived me.
119:051 The arrogant mock me excessively, but I don't swerve from your law.
119:052 I remember your ordinances of old, Yahweh, and have comforted myself.
119:053 Indignation has taken hold on me, because of the wicked
who forsake your law.
119:054 Your statutes have been my songs, in the house where I live.
119:055 I have remembered your name, Yahweh, in the night, and I
obey your law.
119:056 This is my way, that I keep your precepts.
119:057 Yahweh is my portion. I promised to obey your words.
119:058 I sought your favor with my whole heart. Be merciful to me
according to your word.
