Psalm119:57-64

Psalm 119:57-64

The Message (MSG)

^57-64 

Because you have satisfied me, God, I promise

    to do everything you say.

I beg you from the bottom of my heart: smile,

    be gracious to me just as you promised.

When I took a long, careful look at your ways,

    I got my feet back on the trail you blazed.

I was up at once, didn’t drag my feet,

    was quick to follow your orders.

The wicked hemmed me in—there was no way out—

    but not for a minute did I forget your plan for me.

I get up in the middle of the night to thank you;

    your decisions are so right, so true—I can’t wait till morning!

I’m a friend and companion of all who fear you,

    of those committed to living by your rules.

Your love, God, fills the earth!

    Train me to live by your counsel.
