Psalm 119:129-136 Part 3

                    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. 
 
Ransom me from the oppression of evil people; then I can obey your commandments.

In your unfailing love, spare my life;
    then I can continue to obey your laws.  (see Psalm 119:81-88)
 
Look upon me with love; teach me your decrees.
