The Psalm of the Word (Part 4): Strength

The Psalm of the Word

My soul cleaves to the dust;
Revive me according to Your word.

I have told of my ways, and You have answered me;
Teach me Your statutes.

Make me understand the way of Your precepts,

And graciously grant me Your law.

I have chosen the faithful way;

O Lord, do not put me to shame!

I shall run the way of Your commandments,
For You will enlarge my heart.
