Psalm 119 (Ayin) Prayed


Psalm 119 (Ayin) Prayed

P

   Perfect Redeemer,
              Help me to do what is righteous and just;
              do not leave me to my oppressors.
   Ensure your servant’s well-being;
              let not the arrogant oppress me.
   My eyes fail, looking for your salvation,
              looking for your righteous promise.
   Deal with your servant according to your love
              and teach me the whole Bible.
   I am your servant; give me discernment
              that I may understand the Scriptures.
   It is time for you to act, O Lord;
              your law is being broken.
   Because I love the Word of God
              more than gold, more than pure gold,
   and because I consider all your precepts right,
              I hate every wrong path.


Psalm 119:121-128 (Ayin) 

121   I have done what is righteous and just;
              do not leave me to my oppressors.
122   Ensure your servant’s well-being;
              let not the arrogant oppress me.
123   My eyes fail, looking for your salvation,
              looking for your righteous promise.
124    Deal with your servant according to your
              love
              and teach me your decrees.
125   I am your servant; give me discernment
              that I may understand your statutes.
126   It is time for you to act, O LORD;
              your law is being broken.
127   Because I love your commands
              more than gold, more than pure gold,
128   and because I consider all your precepts
              right,
              I hate every wrong path.
