Proclamation Of Word, Empowering Reverence
… devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture…1 Timothy 4:13
I desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart. Psalms 40:8
How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.
I seek you with
all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your
word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Praise be to you, O
LORD; teach me your decrees. With my lips I recount all the laws that come
from your mouth. I
rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches.
I meditate on
your precepts and consider your ways. I
delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word.
Psalms 119:13-16
My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word.
Keep me from
deceitful ways; be gracious to me through your law.
I have chosen the
way of truth; I have set my heart on your laws. I hold fast to your
statutes, O LORD; do not let me be put to shame. I run in the path of
your commands, for you have set my heart free.
Teach me, O LORD, to follow your decrees; then I will keep them to the end.
Give me
understanding, and I will keep your law and obey it with all my heart.
Direct me
in the path of your commands, for there I find delight. Turn my heart
toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain.
Turn my eyes away from worthless
things; preserve my life according to your word.
Fulfill your promise to your servant, so that you may be feared.
Take away the disgrace I dread, for your
laws are good. How
I long for your precepts! Preserve my life in your righteousness.
Psalms 119:28-40
Your statutes stand firm; holiness adorns your house for endless days, O
LORD. Psalms 93:5 Blessed is the man you discipline, O LORD, the man you
teach from your law; Psalms 94:12 I will walk about in freedom, for I have
sought out your precepts. Psalms 119:45
Your decrees are
the theme of my song wherever I lodge.
Psalms 119:54
Teach me knowledge and good judgment,
for I believe in your commands. Psalms 119:66 Before I was afflicted I went
astray, but now I obey your word. Psalms 119:67 The law from your mouth is
more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold. Psalms
119:72
My
soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in
your word. Psalms 119:81 Your word, O LORD, is eternal; it stands firm
in the heavens. Psalms 119:89
I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have preserved my life.
Psalms 119:93 How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my
mouth! Psalms 119:103 Your statutes are my heritage forever; they are the
joy of my heart.
My heart is set on keeping your decrees to the very end.
You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word. Psalms
119:111-114 Because I love your commands more than gold, more than pure
gold,
and because I consider all your precepts
right, I hate every wrong path.

Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me.
Psalms 119:133 Hear my voice in accordance with your love; preserve my life,
O LORD, according to your laws.
Those who devise
wicked schemes are near, but they are far from your law.
Yet you are near, O LORD, and all
your commands are true. Long
ago I learned from your statutes that you established them to last forever.
Psalms 119:149-152 See how I love your precepts; preserve my life, O LORD,
according to your love.
All your words are true;
all your righteous laws are eternal.
Rulers persecute
me without cause, but my heart trembles at your word. I rejoice in your
promise like one who finds great spoil.
Psalms 119:159-162 Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing can
make them stumble. Psalms 119:165 I obey your statutes, for I love them
greatly. I obey your precepts and your statutes, for all my ways are known
to you. Psalms 119:167-168
