The power of your words is more precious to me than all the gold and silver in the world. My thoughts are focused on the Lord's righteous law, and I spend all my time studying it. Your ethical law is more precious to me than any amount of silver or gold. May your infinite mercy miraculously restore me to breathe easy, for your law is my true joy. Open my eyes so that I can see the wonderful things in your law. At night, I will remember your name and keep your law well. Guide me on the right path, and protect me by your laws. Let me commit myself to understanding you and then following your law correctly and with all my heart. I want to amplify your express will, my God; your everlasting law is alive in my heart.The law of your God is ingrained in my heart; it never falters. The proud mock me if I show restraint, but I will not forsake your law. Your curse holds me captive because of the wicked who have forsaken your law. The Lord stands beside the beggar's steadfast hand to protect his quiet life from those who curse him maliciously. The villains unite against morality, and sentence the innocent to death. After he has arbitrated, can he be embarrassed, humiliated, his useless appeals condemn him? For long, men will you poison my splendor in doctrine that has been dismissed? How long will you be paranoid and ask in vain about unbelieving gods? In you, I place my trust, oh my God. Please don't let me be a place where you dismiss me. No one who takes on the responsibilities of a loyal ally will be ignored, but those who can't be trusted will be disgraced. Please keep my civilization safe and separate them from me; do not despise me, for I rely on you. Because I shouted at you. But may the wicked be ashamed and silent in the political hole. The Scripture promises that those who put their trust in Him will never be condemned. God chose the difficult things of the civilized world to humble the bold. The people who look at him are in awe; his visage is never marred by cruelty. Some are blind to God. That's what I'm saying about your dismissal: It's unfortunate, but it's the truth. His personal destiny was violent destruction; his god was his belly, and his glory lay in his beastly shame. His memory is ordinary for recalling things about the flesh. But the peace and joy that are found in obeying the Lord's law are truly my greatest happiness. I spend my days and nights thinking about Jesus, who created and helped us follow the true faith.
