When I thought, “My foot slips,”
your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up.
When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul.
Psalm 94:18,19
You are my portion, O LORD: I have promised to obey your words.
Psalm 119:57
Accept, LORD, the willing praise of my mouth,
and teach me your laws.
Though I constantly take my life in my hands,
I will not forget your law.
The wicked have set a snare for me,
but I have not strayed from your precepts.
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.
Psalm 119:108-112
The unfolding of your words gives light;
it gives understanding to the simple.
I open my mouth and pant,
longing for your commands.
Psalm 119:130,131
footnote from NIV Study Bible:
unfolding. Lit. "opening," here meaning
(1) the revelation of your words,
(2) the interpretation (see "expound," 49:4) of your words, or
(3) the entering of your words into the heart.
