Psalm 119 (He) Prayed

Psalm 119 (He) Prayed E    Eternal Lord,               Teach me to follow your decrees;               then I will keep them to the end.    Give me understanding, and I will keep your law               and obey it with all my heart.    Direct me in the path of the Gospels,               for there I find delight.    Turn my heart toward your parables               and not toward selfish gain.    Turn my eyes away from worthless things;               preserve my life according to your word.    Fulfil your promise to your servant,               so that you may be feared.    Take away the disgrace I dread,               for the Gospels are good.    How I long for your precepts!               Preserve my life in your righteousness. Psalm 119:33-40 (He)  33   Teach me, O LORD, to follow your decrees;               then I will keep them to the end. 34   Give me understanding, and I will keep your               law               and obey it with all my heart. 35   Direct me in the path of your commands,               for there I find delight. 36   Turn my heart toward your statutes               and not toward selfish gain. 37   Turn my eyes away from worthless things;               preserve my life according to your word. 38   Fulfil your promise to your servant,               so that you may be feared. 39   Take away the disgrace I dread,               for your laws are good. 40   How I long for your precepts!               Preserve my life in your righteousness.
