If I had not found happiness in obeying your Law, I would have died in misery.
I am in deep distress, but I love your teachings.
I will take pleasure in your laws and remember your words.
Your laws are my greatest joy! I follow their advice.
When I am suffering, I find comfort in your promise that leads to life.
I love to obey your Law! Have mercy and let me live.
but I know I will live to see how kind you are.
And the Scriptures were written to teach and encourage us by giving us hope.
