Today’s Scripture:

I have done what is right and fair.    So don’t leave me to those who treat me badly.122 Make sure that everything goes well with me.    Don’t let proud people treat me badly.123 My eyes grow tired as I look to you to save me.    Please save me as you have promised.124 Be good to me, because you love me.    Teach me your orders.125 I serve you, so help me to understand what is right.    Then I will understand your covenant laws.126 Lord, it’s time for you to act.    People are breaking your law.127 I love your commands more than gold.    I love them more than pure gold.128 I consider all your rules to be right.    So I hate every path that sinners take.

פ Pe

129 Your covenant laws are wonderful.    So I obey them.130 When your words are made clear, they bring light.    They bring understanding to childish people.131 I open my mouth and pant like a dog,    because I long to know your commands.132 Turn to me and have mercy on me.    That’s what you’ve always done for those who love you.133 Teach me how to live as you have promised.    Don’t let any sin be my master.134 Set me free from people who treat me badly.    Then I will obey your rules.135 Have mercy on me.    Teach me your orders.136 Streams of tears flow from my eyes,    because people don’t obey your law.

צ Tsadhe

137 Lord, you do what is fair.    And your laws are right.138 The laws you have made are fair.    They can be completely trusted.139 My anger is wearing me out,    because my enemies don’t pay any attention to your words.140 Your promises have proved to be true.    I love them.141 I’m not important. People look down on me.    But I don’t forget to obey your rules.142 You always do what is right.    And your law is true.143 I’ve had my share of trouble and suffering.    But your commands give me delight.144 Your covenant laws are always right.    Help me to understand them. Then I will live.

ק Qoph

145 Lord, I call out to you with all my heart.    Answer me, and I will obey your orders.146 I call out to you.    Save me, and I will keep your covenant laws.147 I get up before the sun rises. I cry out for help.    I’ve put my hope in your word.148 My eyes stay open all night long.    I spend my time thinking about your promises.149 Listen to me, because you love me.    Lord, keep me alive as you have promised.150 Those who think up evil plans are near.    They have wandered far away from your law.
