Your testimonies are wonderful; Therefore my soul keeps them. The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple. I opened my mouth and panted, For I longed for Your commandments.
Look upon me and be merciful to me, As Your custom is toward those who love Your name. Direct my steps by Your word, And let no iniquity have dominion over me. Redeem me from the oppression of man, That I may keep Your precepts.
Make Your face shine upon Your servant, And teach me Your statutes. Rivers of water run down from my eyes, Because men do not keep Your law.
My brother, that post-exilic scribe, a man of immense talent and understanding of the Word of the LORD, comes forward in humility to plead for the LORD, God, the Amighty's favor.
In so doing, he becomes my advocate for consideration. Oh, that the Word of God would occupy a like place in my life.
