You are all I want, O LORD; I promise to obey your laws.

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: PSALM 119:57
TODAY'S READING:
Confidence in the Law of the Lord
49Remember your promise to me, your servant;
it has given me hope.
50Even in my suffering I was comforted
because your promise gave me life.
51The proud are always scornful of me,
but I have not departed from your law.
52I remember your judgments of long ago,
and they bring me comfort, O Lord.
53When I see the wicked breaking your law,
I am filled with anger.
54During my brief earthly life
I compose songs about your commands.
55In the night I remember you, Lord,
and I think about your law.
56I find my happiness
in obeying your commands.
Devotion to the Law of the Lord
57You are all I want, O Lord;
I promise to obey your laws.
58I ask you with all my heart
to have mercy on me, as you have promised!
59I have considered my conduct,
and I promise to follow your instructions.
60Without delay I hurry
to obey your commands.
61The wicked have laid a trap for me,
but I do not forget your law.
62In the middle of the night I wake up
to praise you for your righteous judgments.
63I am a friend of all who serve you,
of all who obey your laws.
64Lord, the earth is full of your constant love;
teach me your commandments.
