“My God, though princes persecute me without cause, My heart stands in reverent awe of Your words, For in them, I find strength and hope.”

“I rejoice at Your word, As one who finds a great treasure, For Your promises are rich and fulfilling, A refuge in times of trouble.”

“I hate and detest falsehood, But I love Your law, Which guides my path and keeps me safe.” “Seven times a day, I lift my voice in praise, Because of Your righteous ordinances, For they are a light unto my feet, A source of joy in my heart.”

“Those who love Your law have great peace; Nothing causes them to stumble. May I find my place among them, As I hope and wait with complete confidence for Your salvation, O Lord.”

“I keep Your commandments, My soul treasures Your testimonies, Hearing, accepting, and obeying them, For I love them greatly. I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies, Knowing that all my ways are fully known before You, And I trust in Your unfailing love, Amen.”
