Psalm 119 (Samek) Prayed



Psalm 119 (Samek) Prayed

O
   Omnipotent God,
              I hate double-minded people,
              but I love the Bible.
   You are my refuge and my shield;
              I have put my hope in your word.
   Away from me, you evildoers,
              that I may keep the commands of my God!
    Sustain me according to your promise, and I will
              live;
              do not let my hopes be dashed.
   Uphold me, and I will be delivered;
              I will always have regard for the Bible.
   You reject all who stray from the Scriptures,
              for their deceitfulness is in vain.
   All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross;
              therefore I love your self-revelation.
   My flesh trembles in fear of you;
              I stand in awe of your word the Bible.


Psalm 119:113-120 (Samek)

113   I hate double-minded men,
              but I love your law.
114   You are my refuge and my shield;
              I have put my hope in your word.
115   Away from me, you evildoers,
              that I may keep the commands of my
              God!
116   Sustain me according to your promise, and
              I will live;
              do not let my hopes be dashed.
117               Uphold me, and I will be delivered;
              I will always have regard for your decrees.
118   You reject all who stray from your decrees,
              for their deceitfulness is in vain.
119   All the wicked of the earth you discard like
              dross;
              therefore I love your statutes.
120   My flesh trembles in fear of you;
              I stand in awe of your laws.
