Psalms 119:22-30
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 119
22Take disgrace and contempt away from me, For I comply with Your testimonies. 23Even though rulers sit and speak against me, Your servant meditates on Your statutes. 24Your testimonies also are my delight; They are my advisers. 25My soul clings to the dust; Revive me according to Your word. 26I have told of my ways, and You have answered me; Teach me Your statutes. 27Make me understand the way of Your precepts, And I will meditate on Your wonders. 28My soul weeps because of grief; Strengthen me according to Your word. 29Remove the false way from me, And graciously grant me Your Law. 30I have chosen the faithful way; I have placed Your judgments before me.King James Version
26I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.
27Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
