Psalms 119 — Context

I am a stranger on the earth. Don't hide your commandments from me.

My soul is consumed with longing for your ordinances at all times.

You have rebuked the proud who are cursed, who wander from your commandments.

Take reproach and contempt away from me, for I have kept your statutes.

Though princes sit and slander me, your servant will meditate on your statutes.

Indeed your statutes are my delight, and my counselors. DALED

My soul is laid low in the dust. Revive me according to your word!
