Psalms 119 — Context

I have taken as much delight in the way of your unchanging word, as in all wealth.

I will give thought to your orders, and have respect for your ways.

I will have delight in your rules; I will not let your word go out of my mind.

Give me, your servant, the reward of life, so that I may keep your word;

Let my eyes be open to see the wonders of your law.

I am living in a strange land: do not let your teachings be kept secret from me.

My soul is broken with desire for your decisions at all times.
