Psalm 119 (Lamed) Prayed

Psalm 119 (Lamed) Prayed

L

   Lord Jesus,
              Your word is eternal;
              it stands firm in the heavens.
   Your faithfulness continues through all
              generations;
              you established the earth, and it endures.
   Your teaching endures to this day,
              for all things serve you.
   If the gospel had not been my delight,
              I would have perished in my affliction.
   I will never forget the gospel,
              for by it you have preserved my life.
   Save me, for I am yours;
              I have sought out the gospel.
   The wicked are waiting to destroy me,
              but I will ponder your promises.
   To all perfection I see a limit;
             but your promises are boundless.


Psalm 119:89-96 (Lamed)

89   Your word, O LORD, is eternal;
              it stands firm in the heavens.
90   Your faithfulness continues through all generations;
              you established the earth, and it endures.
91   Your laws endure to this day,
              for all things serve you.
92   If your law had not been my delight,
              I would have perished in my affliction.
93   I will never forget your precepts,
              for by them you have preserved my life.
94   Save me, for I am yours;
              I have sought out your precepts.
95   The wicked are waiting to destroy me,
              but I will ponder your statutes.
96   To all perfection I see a limit;
              but your commands are boundless.
