Psalms 119:25
23 Though rulers sit and slander me, Your servant meditates on Your statutes.
24 Your testimonies are indeed my delight; they are my counselors.
My soul cleaves to the dust; revive me according to Your word.
26 I recounted my ways, and You answered me; teach me Your statutes.
27 Make clear to me the way of Your precepts; then I will meditate on Your wonders.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
