Psalm 118 : 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 135
Wonderful are Your decrees; my soul cannot but keep them.
As Your words unfold, light is shed, and the simple-hearted understand.
I gasp in ardent yearning for Your commandments that I love.
Turn to me then and be gracious as to those who love Your Name.
You promised to direct my steps; free my path from evil.
Favour me with Your smile and teach me Your statutes.

Psalm 118 : 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102
How I love Your law, meditating on it all day!
Your command – mine forever – has made me wiser than my enemy.
I have more insight than my teachers for I meditate on Your decrees.
I have more understanding than the elders for I abide by Your precepts.
I turn my feet from evil paths, that I may keep step with Your word.
I have not departed from Your decrees for You Yourself have instructed me.

Psalm 118 : 57 and 72, 76-77, 127-128, 129-130
You are my portion, o Lord; I have promised to obey Your word. Your law is more precious to me than heaps of silver and gold.
Comfort me then with Your unfailing love, as You promised Your servant. Let Your mercy come to give me life, for Your law is my delight.
I love Your commandments more than gold – the finest gold. Because my steps are guided by Your precepts, I hate all false ways.
Wonderful are Your decrees; my soul cannot but keep them. As Your words unfold, light is shed, and the simple-hearted understand.
