Text & Wordle of Psalm 119:49-72

NRSV Text  of Psalm 119:49-72


Remember your word to your servant,
   in which you have made me hope. 
This is my comfort in my distress,   
that your promise gives me life. 
The arrogant utterly deride me,   
but I do not turn away from your law. 
When I think of your ordinances from of old,  
 I take comfort, O Lord
Hot indignation seizes me because of the wicked,   
those who forsake your law. 
Your statutes have been my songs   
wherever I make my home. 
I remember your name in the night, O Lord,   
and keep your law. 
This blessing has fallen to me,   
for I have kept your precepts. 
The Lord is my portion;
   I promise to keep your words. 
I implore your favour with all my heart;
   be gracious to me according to your promise. 
When I think of your ways,
   I turn my feet to your decrees; 
I hurry and do not delay
   to keep your commandments. 
Though the cords of the wicked ensnare me,
   I do not forget your law. 
At midnight I rise to praise you,
   because of your righteous ordinances. 
I am a companion of all who fear you,
   of those who keep your precepts. 
The earth, O Lord, is full of your steadfast love;
   teach me your statutes. 
You have dealt well with your servant,
   O Lord, according to your word. 
Teach me good judgement and knowledge,
   for I believe in your commandments. 
Before I was humbled I went astray,
   but now I keep your word. 
You are good and do good;
   teach me your statutes. 
The arrogant smear me with lies,
   but with my whole heart I keep your precepts. 
Their hearts are fat and gross,
   but I delight in your law. 
It is good for me that I was humbled,
   so that I might learn your statutes. 
The law of your mouth is better to me
   than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
