Morning Hope – Psalm 119:27-48

Psalm 119:27-48

Make clear to me the way of Your precepts;
then I will meditate on Your wonders.

My soul melts with sorrow;
strengthen me according to Your word.

Remove me from the path of deceit
and graciously grant me Your law.

I have chosen the way of truth;
I have set Your ordinances before me.

I cling to Your testimonies, O LORD;
let me not be put to shame.

I run in the path of Your commandments,
for You will enlarge my heart.

Teach me, O LORD, the way of Your statutes,
and I will keep them to the end.

Give me understanding that I may obey Your law,
and follow it with all my heart.

Direct me in the path of Your commandments,
for there I find delight.

Turn my heart to Your testimonies
and not to covetous gain.

Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
revive me with Your word.

Establish Your word to Your servant,
to produce reverence for You.

Turn away the disgrace I dread,
for Your judgments are good.

How I long for Your precepts!
Revive me in Your righteousness.

May Your loving devotion come to me, O LORD,
Your salvation, according to Your promise.

Then I can answer him who taunts,
for I trust in Your word.

Never take Your word of truth from my mouth,
for I hope in Your judgments.

I will always obey Your law,
forever and ever.

And I will walk in freedom,
for I have sought Your precepts.

I will speak of Your testimonies before kings,
and I will not be ashamed.

I delight in Your commandments
because I love them.

I lift up my hands to Your commandments, which I love,
and I meditate on Your statutes.
