If I had not taken delight in your law, I would have died because of my suffering.
I’ve had my share of trouble and suffering. But your commands give me delight.
I take delight in your orders. I won’t fail to obey your word.
Your covenant laws are my delight. They give me wise advice.
Even when I suffer, I am comforted because you promised to keep me alive.
Show me your tender love so that I can live. I take delight in your law.
Here is something I am still sure of. I will see the Lord’s goodness while I’m still alive.
Everything written in the past was written to teach us. The Scriptures give us strength to go on. They encourage us and give us hope.
