Psalms 119 — Context

My soul is joined to the dust: O give me life, in keeping with your word.

I put the record of my ways before you, and you gave me an answer: O give me knowledge of your rules.

Make the way of your orders clear to me; then my thoughts will be ever on your wonders.

My soul is wasted with sorrow; give me strength again in keeping with your word

Take from me every false way; and in mercy give me your law.

I have taken the way of faith: I have kept your decisions before me.

I have been true to your unchanging word; O Lord, do not put me to shame.
