SHIN
Powerful people harass me without cause, but my heart trembles only at your word.
I rejoice in your word
like one who discovers great treasure.
I hate and abhor all falsehood,
but I love your instructions.
I will praise you seven times a day
because all your regulations are just.
Those who love your instructions have great peace
and do not stumble.
I long for your rescue, LORD,
so I have obeyed your commands.
I have obeyed your laws,
for I love them very much.
Yes, I obey your commandments and laws
because you know everything I do.
I long for your rescue, LORD, so I have obeyed your commands.
Psalm 119:81-84
I am worn out waiting for your rescue,
but I have put my hope in your word.
My eyes are straining to see your promises come true.
When will you comfort me?
I am shriveled like a wineskin in the smoke,
but I have not forgotten to obey your decrees.
How long must I wait?
When will you punish those who persecute me? (see Psalm 119:81-88)
I have obeyed your laws, for I love them very much.
Joshua 1:8
"Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do." (see Joshua 1:1-9)
Psalm 119:47-48
How I delight in your commands!
How I love them!
I honor and love your commands.
I meditate on your decrees. (see Psalm 119:41-48)
