Psalms 119:28-40

28I am so sad that I feel very weak. Use your word to make me strong again.

29Stop me from living in a wrong way. Please be kind to me, so that I know your Law.

30I have chosen to live in the right way. I will continue to obey your rules.

31Yes, Lord, I will always respect your teaching. Please do not let me become ashamed.

32I want to obey your commands all the time. Help me to understand them more and more.

33Lord, help me to understand your teaching, then I will always obey it.

34Explain your Law to me, then I will obey it. I will always love to do what it says.

35Help me to live in a way that respects your commands. That is what makes me very happy.

36Help me to love your rules. That is better for me than riches.

37Turn my eyes away from useless things. Use your word to help me to live.

38I am your servant. Please do what you have promised to do. You have promised to bless anyone who respects you.

39I am afraid when people insult me. Your rules are good, so do not let me be ashamed.

40I really want to obey your rules. Because you are righteous, please let me continue to live.
