Psalm 119:21-34
English Standard Version
21 You rebuke (A)the insolent, (B)accursed ones,
who (C)wander from your commandments.
22 Take away from me (D)scorn and contempt,
(E)for I have kept your testimonies.
23 Even though (F)princes sit plotting against me,
your servant will (G)meditate on your statutes.
24 Your testimonies are my (H)delight;
they are my (I)counselors.
Daleth
25 (J)My soul clings to the dust;
(K)give me life (L)according to your word!
26 When (M)I told of my ways, you answered me;
(N)teach me your statutes!
27 (O)Make me understand the way of your precepts,
and I will (P)meditate on your wondrous works.
28 (Q)My soul melts away for sorrow;
strengthen me according to your word!
29 Put false ways far from me
and graciously (R)teach me your law!
30 I have chosen the way of faithfulness;
I (S)set your rules before me.
31 I cling to your testimonies, O Lord;
(T)let me not be put to shame!
32 I will run in the way of your commandments
when you (U)enlarge my heart![a]
He
33 (V)Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes;
and I will keep it (W)to the end.[b]
34 (X)Give me understanding, that I may keep your law
and observe it with my whole heart.
