Psalm 119 (Daleth) Prayed


Psalm 119 (Daleth) Prayed

D
   Dearest Saviour,
              I am laid low in the dust;
              preserve my life according to your word.
   I recounted my ways and you answered me;
              teach me your decrees in the Bible.
   Let me understand the teaching of your precepts;
              then I will meditate on your wonders.
   When my soul is weary with sorrow;
              strengthen me according to your word.
   Keep me from deceitful ways;
              be gracious to me through your Word.
   I have chosen the way of truth;
              I have set my heart on the Bible.
   I hold fast to the Scriptures, O Lord;
              do not let me be put to shame.
   I run in the path of your commands,
              for you have set my heart free.


Psalm 119:25-32 (Daleth)

25   I am laid low in the dust;
              preserve my life according to your word.
26   I recounted my ways and you answered me;
              teach me your decrees.
27   Let me understand the teaching of your
              precepts;
              then I will meditate on your wonders.
28   My soul is weary with sorrow;
              strengthen me according to your word.
29   Keep me from deceitful ways;
              be gracious to me through your law.
30   I have chosen the way of truth;
              I have set my heart on your laws.
31   I hold fast to your statutes, O LORD;
              do not let me be put to shame.
32   I run in the path of your commands,
              for you have set my heart free.
