Come back to me and have mercy on me;

That’s only right for those who love your name.

So I can keep your precepts.

And teach me your statutes.

Scripture Reading

Psalm 119:1-8 (Common English Bible)

Those whose way is blameless— who walk in the Lord’s Instruction—are truly happy!

Those who guard God’s laws are truly happy! They seek God with all their hearts.

They don’t even do anything wrong! They walk in God’s ways.

God, you have ordered that your decrees should be kept most carefully.

How I wish my ways were strong when it comes to keeping your statutes!

Then I wouldn’t be ashamed when I examine all your commandments.

I will give thanks to you with a heart that does right as I learn your righteous rules.

I will keep your statutes. Please don’t leave me all alone!
