“I lie in dust; revive me by Your word. I told You my plans, and You answered. Now teach me Your decrees. Help me understand the meaning of your commandments, and I will meditate on Your wonderful deeds. I weep with sorrow; encourage me by Your word. Keep me from lying to myself; give me the privilege of knowing Your instructions. I have chosen to be faithful; I have determined to live by Your regulations. I cling to Your laws, Lord, don’t let me be put to shame! I will pursue Your commands, for You expand my understanding.” (vv. 25-32, NLT)
