Psalm 118(119): 65-72 |
---|
The law from your mouth means more to me than silver and gold.
You have been good to your servant, O Lord:
you are true to your word.
Teach me goodness and wisdom and knowledge,
for I trust your commands.
Before I suffered I used to stray;
but now I shall hold to your promises.
You are good and your actions are good,
so teach me your judgements.
The proud make lying plans against me,
but I shall still obey your commands
with all my heart.
Their hearts are as gross as solid fat,
but I delight in your law.
My suffering has done me good:
it has taught me your judgements.
The law that you proclaim does me good,
more than treasure of silver and gold.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
The law from your mouth means more to me than silver and gold.
