“Let your love, God, shape my life with salvation, exactly as You promised; then I’ll be able to stand up to mockery because I trusted Your Word. Don’t ever deprive me of truth, not ever—Your commandments are what I depend on. Oh, I’ll guard with my life what You’ve revealed to me, guard it now, guard it ever; and I’ll stride freely through wide open spaces as I look for Your truth and your wisdom; then I’ll tell the world what I find, speak out boldly in public, unembarrassed. I cherish Your commandments—oh, how I love them! —Relishing every fragment of Your counsel.” —Psalm 119:41-48 (MSG)
