Psalms 119:143
“Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.”
I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.
Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.
The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.
I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord: I will keep thy statutes.
