Thoughts of Grace

Psalm 119:41-50
Let Your mercy and loving-kindness come also to me,
O Lord, even Your salvation according to Your promise;

Then shall I have an answer
for those who taunt and reproach me,
for I lean on, rely on, and trust in Your word.

And take not the word of truth
utterly out of my mouth,
for I hope in Your ordinances.

I will keep Your law continually, forever and ever
[hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying it].

And I will walk at liberty and at ease,
for I have sought and inquired for
[and desperately required] Your precepts.

I will speak of Your testimonies
also before kings and will not be put to shame.

For I will delight myself in Your commandments,
which I love.

My hands also will I lift up
[in fervent supplication] to Your commandments,
which I love, and I will meditate on Your statutes.

Remember [fervently] the word and promise to Your servant,
in which You have caused me to hope.

This is my comfort and consolation in my affliction:
that Your word has revived me and given me life.
