Psalms 119:43
41 May Your loving devotion come to me, O LORD, Your salvation, according to Your promise.
42 Then I can answer him who taunts, for I trust in Your word.
Never take Your word of truth from my mouth, for I hope in Your judgments.
44 I will always obey Your law, forever and ever.
45 And I will walk in freedom, for I have sought Your precepts.
