Psalm 119:175

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.

when they prayed: "Have mercy on me, Lord! See how I am oppressed by those who hate me, O one who can snatch me away from the gates of death!

"What profit is there in taking my life, in my descending into the Pit? Can the dust of the grave praise you? Can it declare your loyalty?

Rescue me from the guilt of murder, O God, the God who delivers me! Then my tongue will shout for joy because of your deliverance.

The Lord severely punished me, but he did not hand me over to death.

The living person, the living person, he gives you thanks, as I do today. A father tells his sons about your faithfulness.

I know, Lord, that your regulations are just. You disciplined me because of your faithful devotion to me.

Yes, as your judgments unfold, O Lord, we wait for you. We desire your fame and reputation to grow.

And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose,

But if we examined ourselves, we would not be judged.

For our momentary, light suffering is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison

Let the nations thank you, O God! Let all the nations thank you!
