Psalm 119:33-40 Part 4

                    HE
Teach me your decrees, O LORD;
    I will keep them to the end.
Give me understanding and I will obey your instructions;
    I will put them into practice with all my heart.
Make me walk along the path of your commands,
    for that is where my happiness is found.
Give me an eagerness for your laws
    rather than a love for money!
Turn my eyes from worthless things,
    and give me life through your word.
Reassure me of your promise,
    made to those who fear you.
Help me abandon my shameful ways;
    for your regulations are good.
I long to obey your commandments!
    Renew my life with your goodness. 
 
Help me abandon my shameful ways; for your regulations are good.
Isaiah 25:8
He will swallow up death forever!
    The Sovereign LORD will wipe away all tears.
He will remove forever all insults and mockery
    against his land and people.
    The LORD has spoken!  (see all Isaiah 25)
Isaiah 51:7  
"Listen to me, you who know right from wrong,
    you who cherish my law in your hearts.
Do not be afraid of people's scorn,
    nor fear their insults."  (see all Isaiah 51)
Isaiah 54:4  
"Fear not; you will no longer live in shame.
    Don't be afraid; there is no more disgrace for you.
You will no longer remember the shame of your youth
    and the sorrows of widowhood."  (see all Isaiah 54)
 
I long to obey your commandments! Renew my life with your goodness.  
Psalm 119:20  
I am always overwhelmed
    with a desire for your regulations.
Psalm 119:25  
I lie in the dust;
    revive me by your word.
Psalm 119:149  
In your faithful love, O LORD, hear my cry;
    let me be revived by following your regulations.

Argue my case; take my side!
    Protect my life as you promised.
