Divine Guidance (Psalm 119, Gimel) Lyrics

Deal bountifully, O Lord, with me,

That I may live and keep Your word faithfully.

Open my eyes, show me Your ways,

Wondrous things hidden in Your law today.

I long for You, my heart will seek,

Your truth, Your guidance, strong and meek.

I'm just a sojourner here on this earth,

Don't hide Your commands, show me their worth.

My soul longs for You, for Your truth,

At all times, my heart cries out to You.

You rebuke the proud who stray from Your path,

The ones who scorn, who feel Your wrath.

Take away the shame, the contempt they bring,

I've kept Your testimonies, Lord, my King.

I long for You, my heart will seek,

Your truth, Your guidance, strong and meek.

I'm just a sojourner here on this earth,

Don't hide Your commands, show me their worth.

My soul longs for You, for Your truth,

At all times, my heart cries out to You.

Even when princes plot and scheme,

I'll meditate on Your law, and I'll dream.

Your testimonies are my delight,

They are my counselors, my guiding light.

I long for Wisdom, my heart will seek,

Your truth, Your guidance, strong and meek.

I'm just a sojourner here on this earth,

Don't hide Your commands, show me their worth.

My soul longs for You, for Your truth,

At all times, my heart cries out to You.

Your word, my guide, my joy, my song,

I'll follow Your statutes all my life long.
