Psalms 119:23

God's wordSufferingStillness and meditation

21 You rebuke the arrogant— the cursed who stray from Your commandments.

22 Remove my scorn and contempt, for I have kept Your testimonies.

Though rulers sit and slander me, Your servant meditates on Your statutes.

24 Your testimonies are indeed my delight; they are my counselors.

25 My soul cleaves to the dust; revive me according to Your word.
