Psalms 119:27
25 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.
Make clear to me the way of Your precepts; then I will meditate on Your wonders.
28 My soul melts with sorrow; strengthen me according to Your word.
29 Remove me from the path of deceit and graciously grant me Your law.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
