Song for Today:
Wonderful Words of Life
You have commanded your precepts
to be kept diligently.
Oh that my ways may be steadfast
in keeping your statutes!
•••
I will meditate on your precepts
and fix my eyes on your ways.
I will delight in your statutes;
I will not forget your word.
•••
Open my eyes, that I may behold
wondrous things out of your law.
•••
Let your steadfast love come to me, O LORD,
your salvation according to your promise;
then shall I have an answer for him who taunts me,
for I trust in your word.
And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth,
•••
The earth, O LORD, is full of your steadfast love;
teach me your statutes!
•••
Your hands have made and fashioned me;
give me understanding that I may learn your commandments.
•••
Forever, O LORD, your word
is firmly fixed in the heavens.
Your faithfulness endures to all generations;
you have established the earth, and it stands fast.
By your appointment they stand this day,
for all things are your servants.
•••
Great peace have those who love your law;
nothing can make them stumble.
from Psalm 119
