Psalms 119:29
27 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.
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.
31 I cling to Your testimonies, O LORD; let me not be put to shame.
