Psalm 119:143

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.

I am greatly troubled, O Lord, give me life in keeping with your word.

The cords of death were round me, and the seas of evil put me in fear.

For my soul is full of evils, and my life has come near to the underworld.

The nets of death were round me, and the pains of the underworld had me in their grip; I was full of trouble and sorrow.

Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.

And he took with him Peter and James and John, and grief and great trouble came on him.

I will have delight in your rules; I will not let your word go out of my mind.

I have never gone against the orders of his lips; the words of his mouth have been stored up in my heart.

Jesus said, My food is to do the pleasure of him who sent me and to make his work complete.
