\q
\v 53 Hot anger has taken hold of me
\q because of the wicked who reject your law.
\q
\v 54 Your statutes have been my songs
\q in the house where I temporarily live.

\q teach me your statutes.
\s5
\q
\v 69 The arrogant have smeared me with lies,
\q but I keep your instructions with my whole heart.
\q
\v 70 Their hearts are hardened,
\q but I delight in your law.
\s5
\q
\v 71 It is good for me that I have suffered
\q so that I would learn your statutes.
\q
\v 72 Instruction from your mouth is more precious to me
\q than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.

\v 122 Guarantee the welfare of your servant;
\q do not let the proud oppress me.
\s5
\q
\v 123 My eyes grow tired as I wait for your salvation
\q and for your righteous word.
\q
\v 124 Show your servant your covenant faithfulness,
\q and teach me your statutes.
\s5
\q
\v 125 I am your servant; give me understanding
\q so that I may know your covenant decrees.

\b
\s5

\q but they are far from your law.
\s5
\q
\v 151 You are near, Yahweh,

\s5
\q
\v 157 My persecutors and my foes are many,
2016-08-08 18:52:12 +00:00
\q yet I have not turned from your covenant decrees.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00

\q
\v 162 I rejoice at your word
\q like one who finds great plunder.
