Psalm 119:17-24 - Gimel

¹⁷ Gimel.
Deal bountifully with Your servant,
That I may live and keep Your word [treasuring it and being guided by it day by day].
¹⁸
Open my eyes [to spiritual truth] so that I may behold
Wonderful things from Your law.
¹⁹
I am a stranger on the earth;
Do not hide Your commandments from me.
²⁰
My soul is crushed with longing
For Your ordinances at all times.
²¹
You rebuke the presumptuous and arrogant, the cursed ones,
Who wander from Your commandments.
²²
Take reproach and contempt away from me,
For I observe Your testimonies.
²³
Even though princes sit and talk to one another against me,
Your servant meditates on Your statutes.
²⁴
Your testimonies also are my delight
And my counselors.
