Psalm 119:143

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

I am exceedingly afflicted. Revive me, O Jehovah, according to your word.

The cords of death surrounded me. The torrents of wickedness frightened me.

I am filled with troubles, and my life comes closer to the grave.

The ropes of death became tangled around me. The fear of the grave took hold of me. I experienced pain and agony.

Out of the depths of despair I have cried to you, O Jehovah.

He took Peter, James and John with him. He was very distressed and troubled.

I shall delight in your statutes. I shall not forget your word!

I have not departed from the command of his lips. I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

Jesus said: My food is to do the will of him that sent me. To finish his work!
