Psalms 119:30
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.
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.
32 I run in the path of Your commandments, for You will enlarge my heart.
