Psalm 119 Prayer

Lord,

   Teach me your statutes and keep me from wandering from you. Open my eyes so that I may understand the wonderful things from your instruction. Help me understand the meaning of your precepts so that I can meditate on your wonders. Teach me, Lord, the meaning of your statutes and I will always keep them. Help me stay on the path of your commands for I take pleasure in them. Turn my heart to your decrees and not to material gain. Turn my eyes from looking at what is worthless, give me life in Your ways. Teach me good judgement and discernment, for I rely on Your commands. 

   Keep me from wandering from you. May your faithful love comfort me. May your compassion come to me so that I may live, for your instruction is my delight. How I love your instructions, it is my meditation all day long. Your commands make me wiser than my enemies for they are always with me. I have more insight than all my teachers because your decrees are my mediation.

Lord, give me life through your word and teach me your judgments. Guarantee your servants well being, do not let the arrogant oppress me. Your decrees are wonderful therefore I obey them.  Turn to me and be gracious to me as is your practice toward those who love your name. Make my steps steady through your promise, don’t let any sin dominate me.

Redeem me from human oppression, and I will keep your precepts. Show favor to Your servant and teach me Your statues. You are righteous, Lord, and Your judgments are just. Defend my cause and redeem me, give me life as You promised.  Consider how I love Your precepts, Lord, give me life according to your faithful love.

I praise you seven times a day, for your righteous judgments. Lord, I hope for your salvation and carry out your commands. Let my cry reach You, Lord, give me understanding according to your word. Let my plea reach you.

Rescue me according to your promise
