Psalm 119:129-136 Part 1

                    PE 
Your laws are wonderful.
    No wonder I obey them!
The teaching of your word gives light,
    so even the simple can understand.
I pant with expectation,
    longing for your commands.
Come and show me your mercy,
    as you do for all who love your name.
Guide my steps by your word, 
     so I will not be overcome by evil.
Ransom me from the oppression of evil people;
    then I can obey your commandments.
Look upon me with love;
    teach me your decrees.
Rivers of tears gush from my eyes
    because people disobey your instructions. 
 
Your laws are wonderful. No wonder I obey them!
Psalm 119:18 
Open my eyes to see
    the wonderful truths in your instructions. 
Psalm 119:24  
Your laws please me;
    they give me wise advice.  (see Psalm 119:17-24)
Psalm 119:162  
I rejoice in your word
    like one who discovers a great treasure.  (see Psalm 119:161-168)
 
The teaching of your word gives light, so even the simple can understand.

For their command is a lamp
    and their instruction a light;
their corrective discipline
    is the way to life.  (see Proverbs 6:20-29)
Psalm 119:105  
Your word is a lamp to guide my feet
    and a light for my path.  (see Psalm 119:105-112)
 
I pant with expectation, longing for your commands.

As the deer longs for streams of water,
    so I long for you, O God.  (see all Psalm 42)
