Psalm 119:17-24 Part 6

            GIMEL

Be good to your servant,

    that I may live and obey your word.

Open my eyes to see

    the wonderful truths in your instructions.

I am only a foreigner in the land.

    Don't hide your commands from me!

I am always overwhelmed

    with a desire for your regulations.

You rebuke the arrogant,

    those who wander from your commands are cursed.

Don't let them scorn and insult me,

    for I have obeyed your laws.

Even princes sit and speak against me,

    but i will meditate on your decrees.

Your laws please me,

    they give me wise advice. 

 

Your laws please me, they give me wise advice.
