You are my refuge and my shield; your word is my source of hope.
My eyes strain to see your rescue, to see the truth of your promise fulfilled.
deal with me in unfailing love, and teach me your decrees.
Give discernment to me, then I will understand your laws.
Truly, I love your commands. Each of your commandments is right.
Your laws are wonderful.
The teaching of your word gives light, so even the simple can understand.
I pant with expectation, longing for your commands.
Come and show me your mercy, as you do for all who love your name.
Guide my steps by your word, so I will not be overcome by evil. teach me your decrees.
Psalm 119, NLT
