Psalms 119:28-40

28My soul melts away for sorrow; strengthen me according to your word!

29Put false ways far from me and graciously teach me your law!

30I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I set your rules before me.

31I cling to your testimonies, O Lord; let me not be put to shame!

32I will run in the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart!

33Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes; and I will keep it to the end.

34Give me understanding, that I may keep your law and observe it with my whole heart.

35Lead me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in it.

36Incline my heart to your testimonies, and not to selfish gain!

37Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways.

38Confirm to your servant your promise, that you may be feared.

39Turn away the reproach that I dread, for your rules are good.

40Behold, I long for your precepts; in your righteousness give me life!
