Psalms 119:110
108 Accept the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me Your judgments.
109 I constantly take my life in my hands, yet I do not forget Your law.
The wicked have set a snare for me, but I have not strayed from Your precepts.
111 Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.
112 I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes, even to the very end.
