Psalm 119 (Heth) Prayed



Psalm 119 (Heth) Prayed

H

   Holy Spirit,
              You are my portion, O Lord;
              I have promised to obey your words.
   I have sought your face with all my heart;
              be gracious to me according to your promise.
   I have considered my ways
              and have turned my steps to your teachings.
   Help me to hasten and not delay
              to obey your commands.
   Though the wicked try to bind me with their scorn,
              I will not forget the Word of God.
   At midnight I rise to give you thanks
              for your righteous laws.
   I am a friend to all who fear you,
              to all who follow your precepts.
   The earth is filled with your love, O Lord;
              teach me your decrees.


Psalm 119:57-64 (Heth) 

57   You are my portion, O LORD;
              I have promised to obey your words.
58   I have sought your face with all my heart;
              be gracious to me according to your
              promise.
59   I have considered my ways
              and have turned my steps to your
              statutes.
60   I will hasten and not delay
              to obey your commands.
61   Though the wicked bind me with ropes,
              I will not forget your law.
62   At midnight I rise to give you thanks
              for your righteous laws.
63   I am a friend to all who fear you,
              to all who follow your precepts.
64   The earth is filled with your love, O LORD;
              teach me your decrees.
