Psalm 119:169

Tree of Life Version

Let my cry come to You, Adonai. Grant me understanding by Your word.

See the chapter Copy

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all without hesitation and without reproach; and it will be given to him.

Cords of Sheol coiled around me. Snares of death came before me.

Now give me wisdom and knowledge that I may go out and come in before this people. For who can govern this great people of Yours?”

He changes times and seasons. He removes kings and installs kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.

Then the Levitical kohanim arose and blessed the people, and Adonai heard their voice, for their prayer reached heaven, His holy dwelling place.

Only may Adonai give you insight and understanding when He gives you charge over Israel so that you may observe the Torah of Adonai your God.

Give me understanding, that I may keep Your Torah and observe it with all my heart.
