Psalms 119:32-48

³²I run to follow your commands, for you have expanded my mind!

³³He Teach me the meaning of your laws, and I will always keep them.

³⁴Help me to understand so I can be totally committed to doing what you want.

³⁵Lead me to follow your commands, for this is what I love to do

³⁶Help me to concentrate on what you say rather than on making a profit.

³⁷Don't let me focus on things that are worthless. Help me live in your ways.

³⁸Please keep your promise to me, your servant, that you made to those who worship you.

³⁹Take away the shame I dread, for your law is good.

⁴⁰I always want to do what you say. Please let me live, for you do what is right.

⁴¹Waw Lord, please love me with your trustworthy love; please give me the salvation you promised.

⁴²Then I can reply to those who mock me, for I trust what you say.

⁴³Don't ever prevent me from being able to speak your words of truth, for I place my complete confidence in your just judgments.

⁴⁴I will continue to follow your teachings, forever and ever.

⁴⁵I shall live in freedom, for I have committed myself to obeying you.

⁴⁶I will instruct kings about your laws—I won't be embarrassed.

⁴⁷I'm so happy for your instructions. I love them!

⁴⁸I lift up my hands in prayer, honoring your commandments. I will think deeply about all you say.
