PSALM 119 (17) L.M.

129 Your statutes, LORD, are wonderful,
So I obey them from my heart.
130 Your words, as they unfold, give light,
And truth to simple minds impart.

131 With open mouth I pant and yearn
To know the laws that you proclaim.
132 Show me the mercy you extend
To those who love and praise your name.

133 Direct my footsteps in your word;
Let sin not hold me in its sway.
134 From man’s oppression set me free
That your commands I may obey.

135 Upon your servant shine your face;
Teach me the statutes you have made.
136 My eyes shed streams of bitter tears
Because your law is not obeyed.
