Excerpts from Psalm 119

My soul is crushed with longing
After Your ordinances at all times.

Make me walk in the path of Your commandments,
For I delight in it.

May those who fear You see me and be glad,
Because I wait for Your word.
I know, O LORD, that Your judgements are righteous,
And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.

My soul languishes for Your salvation;
I will wait for Your word.

How sweet are Your words to my taste!
Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

You are my hiding place and my shield;
I wait for Your word.

My eyes fail with longing for Your salvation
And for Your righteous word.





Father God, make my passion fervent and pleasing to Thee.
