Psalms 119:80

IntegrityShameGod's wordObedience

78 May the arrogant be put to shame for subverting me with a lie; I will meditate on Your precepts.

79 May those who fear You turn to me, those who know Your testimonies.

May my heart be blameless in Your statutes, that I may not be put to shame.

81 My soul faints for Your salvation; I wait for Your word.

82 My eyes fail, looking for Your promise; I ask, “When will You comfort me?”
