Psalms 119:41-51

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.

⁴⁹Zayin Remember your promise to me, your servant. It's my only hope.

⁵⁰This is what brings me encouragement in my misery—your promise keeps me going!

⁵¹Arrogant people mock me terribly, but I don't give up on your teachings.
