Psalm 119:17-32
Holman Christian Standard Bible
ג Gimel
17 Deal generously with Your servant(A)
so that I might live;
then I will keep Your word.
18 Open my eyes so that I may contemplate
wonderful things from Your instruction.
19 I am a stranger on earth;(B)
do not hide Your commands from me.
20 I am continually overcome
with longing for Your judgments.(C)
21 You rebuke the proud,
the ones under a curse,(D)
who wander from Your commands.(E)
22 Take insult and contempt away from me,(F)
for I have kept Your decrees.
23 Though princes sit together speaking against me,(G)
Your servant will think about Your statutes;(H)
24 Your decrees are my delight
and my counselors.(I)
ד Dalet
25 My life is down in the dust;(J)
give me life(K) through Your word.
26 I told You about my life,
and You listened to me;
teach me Your statutes.(L)
27 Help me understand
the meaning of Your precepts
so that I can meditate on Your wonders.(M)
28 I am weary[a] from grief;
strengthen me through Your word.(N)
29 Keep me from the way of deceit
and graciously give me Your instruction.
30 I have chosen the way of truth;
I have set Your ordinances before me.(O)
31 I cling to Your decrees;
Lord, do not put me to shame.(P)
32 I pursue the way of Your commands,
for You broaden my understanding.[b](Q)
