 Psalms 119

The excellence of the law of the Lord and the happiness of those who keep it

17-24

17 Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live and keep your word.

18 Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from your law.

19 I am a stranger on earth; hide not your commandments from me.

20 My soul is broken for longing for your judgments at all times.

21 You have rebuked the proud, the cursed, who stray from your commandments.

22 Remove reproach and contempt from me, for I have kept your testimonies.

23 While princes conspired and spoke against me, your servant meditated on your statutes.

24 Your testimonies also are my delight and my counsel.
