Support the Show Summarized Transcript:  Good morning. Today, we’re continuing our reading from Psalm 119. We have one more installment after this, where we’ll handle the last six stanzas. Today I’ll be reading verses 97-128 Psalm 119 מ Mem 97  Oh, how I love your law!     I meditate on it all day long. 98  Your commands are always with me     and make me wiser than my enemies. 99  I have more insight than all my teachers,     for I meditate on your statutes. 100  I have more understanding than the elders,     for I obey your precepts. 101  I have kept my feet from every evil path     so that I might obey your word. 102  I have not departed from your laws,     for you yourself have taught me. 103  How sweet are your words to my taste,     sweeter than honey to my mouth! 104  I gain understanding from your precepts;     therefore I hate every wrong path. נ Nun 105  Your word is a lamp for my feet,     a light on my path. 106  I have taken an oath and confirmed it,     that I will follow your righteous laws. 107  I have suffered much;     preserve my life, Lord, according to your word. 108  Accept, Lord, the willing praise of my mouth,     and teach me your laws. 109  Though I constantly take my life in my hands,     I will not forget your law. 110  The wicked have set a snare for me,     but I have not strayed from your precepts. 111  Your statutes are my heritage forever;     they are the joy of my heart. 112  My heart is set on keeping your decrees     to the very end.[d] ס Samekh 113  I hate double-minded people,     but I love your law. 114  You are my refuge and my shield;     I have put my hope in your word. 115  Away from me, you evildoers,     that I may keep the commands of my God! 116  Sustain me, my God, according to your promise, and I will live;     do not let my hopes be dashed. 117  Uphold me, and I will be delivered;     I will always have regard for your decrees. 118  You reject all who stray from your decrees,     for their delusions come to nothing. 119  All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross;     therefore I love your statutes. 120  My flesh trembles in fear of you;     I stand in awe of your laws. ע Ayin 121  I have done what is righteous and just;     do not leave me to my oppressors. 122  Ensure your servant’s well-being;     do not let the arrogant oppress me. 123  My eyes fail, looking for your salvation,     looking for your righteous promise. 124  Deal with your servant according to your love     and teach me your decrees. 125  I am your servant; give me discernment     that I may understand your statutes. 126  It is time for you to act, Lord;     your law is being broken. 127  Because I love your commands     more than gold, more than pure gold, 128  and because I consider all your precepts right,     I hate every wrong path.
