Psalm 119 (Pe) Prayed

Psalm 119 (Pe) Prayed

Q

   Quintessential Saviour,
              Your Gospels are wonderful;
              therefore I believe them.
   The unfolding of your words gives light;
              it gives understanding to the simple.
   I open my mouth and pant,
              longing for the gospel.
   Turn to me and have mercy on me,
              as you always do to those who love your name.
   Direct my footsteps according to your word;
              let no sin rule over me.
   Redeem me from the oppression of sin,
              that I may obey your precepts.
   Make your face shine upon your servant
              and teach me your decrees.
   Streams of tears flow from my eyes,
              for your word the Bible is not believed.


Psalm 119:129-136 (Pe)

129   Your statutes are wonderful;
              therefore I obey them.
130   The unfolding of your words gives light;
              it gives understanding to the simple.
131   I open my mouth and pant,
              longing for your commands.
132   Turn to me and have mercy on me,
              as you always do to those who love your
              name.
133   Direct my footsteps according to your
              word;
              let no sin rule over me.
134   Redeem me from the oppression of men,
              that I may obey your precepts.
135   Make your face shine upon your servant
              and teach me your decrees.
136   Streams of tears flow from my eyes,
              for your law is not obeyed.
