Psalms 119:27-40

Help me understand your orders. Then I will think about your miracles. I am sad and tired. Make me strong again as you have promised. Don’t let me be dishonest; have mercy on me by helping me obey your teachings. I have chosen the way of truth; I have obeyed your laws. I hold on to your rules. LORD, do not let me be disgraced. I will quickly obey your commands, because you have made me happy. LORD, teach me your demands, and I will keep them until the end. Help me understand, so I can keep your teachings, obeying them with all my heart. Lead me in the path of your commands, because that makes me happy. Make me want to keep your rules instead of wishing for riches. Keep me from looking at worthless things. Let me live by your word. Keep your promise to me, your servant, so you will be respected. Take away the shame I fear, because your laws are good. How I want to follow your orders. Give me life because of your goodness.
