Psalm 119:13, 18, 23, 32, 41, 52, 54, 64, 73, 81, 114, 130, 174, 176 iMSG
I love this as a run-on sentence:
“I’ll transfer to my lips all the counsel that comes from your mouth; Open my eyes so I can see what you show me of your miracle-wonders. While bad neighbors maliciously gossip about me, I’m absorbed in pondering your wise counsel. I’ll run the course you lay out for me if you’ll just show me how. Let your love, God, shape my life with salvation, exactly as you promised; I watch for your ancient landmark words, and know I’m on the right track. I set your instructions to music and sing them as I walk this pilgrim way. Your love, God, fills the earth! Train me to live by your counsel. With your very own hands you formed me; now breathe your wisdom over me so I can understand you. I’m homesick-longing for your salvation; I’m waiting for your word of hope. You’re my place of quiet retreat; I wait for your Word to renew me. Break open your words, let the light shine out, let ordinary people see the meaning. I’m homesick, God, for your salvation; I love it when you show yourself! And should I wander off like a lost sheep-seek me! I’ll recognize the sound of your voice.”
