Psalms 119:28
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.
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.
30 I have chosen the way of truth; I have set Your ordinances before me.
