Psalm 119:25-32 Part 4

            DALETH

I lie in the dust;

    revive me by your word.

I told you my plans, and you answered.

    Now teach me your decrees.

Help me understand the meaning of your commandments,

    and I will meditate on your wonderful deeds.

I weep with sorrow;

    encourage me by your word.

Keep me from lying to myself;

    give me the privilege of knowing your instructions.

I have chosen to be faithful;

    I have determined to live by your regulations.

I cling to your laws.

    LORD, don't let me be put to shame.

I will pursue your commands,

    for you expand my understanding. 

 

I cling to your laws. LORD, don't let me be put to shame.
