Praying Through: Psalm 119:65-72

The Psalm

Psalm 119:65–72 (CSB)
65 LORD, you have treated your servant well, just as you promised.

66 Teach me good judgment and discernment, for I rely on your commands.

67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your word.

68 You are good, and you do what is good; teach me your statutes.

69 The arrogant have smeared me with lies, but I obey your precepts with all my heart.

70 Their hearts are hard and insensitive, but I delight in your instruction.

71 It was good for me to be afflicted so that I could learn your statutes.

72 Instruction from your lips is better for me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

The Prayer

My Living Word

I have met with great affliction

  • raised by people
  • who would do me great harm
  • I have been sinned against
  • but I have sinned against them

Moreso, I have sinned against you

  • Almighty God.

Yet, you have been nothing but

  • merciful
  • gracious
  • kind
  • compassionate.

I know you have

  • because I have
  • your only begotten Son
  • Jesus Christ
  • my Lord and Savior.

Be exalted, O God

  • today.

Amen.
