Teach me Your statutes


(Psalm 119: 164, 26, 59, 64, 68, 82, 133, 134, 135)


Like the the psalmist, me too
I praise You seven times a day because of Your righteous judgments
And seven times I ask with all of my heart,
Teach me Your statutes.
I have declared my ways,
And in Your love You have answered me,
I have told you the desire of my heart;
Teach me Your statutes.
I thought about my ways,
I turned my feet to Your holy Words,
I come to You with the same request;
Teach me Your statutes.
The earrth is filled with Your mercy
I am delighted with Your beauty,
I bring before Your throne the same prayer;
Teach me Your statutes.
My soul faints for your salvation,
My heart is thirsty for Your sweet Word,
I am longing for Your consolation,
Teach me Your statutes.
Direct my steps by Your holy Word,
Redeem me from the oppression of men
Make Your face shine upon me all the time,
Teach me Your statutes.
The song of praise now rings in my heart,
You have comforted my afflicted soul
So I come and I ask You once more;
Teach me Your statutes.
