I take pleasure in your laws; your commands I will not forget.

I will keep my solemn promise to obey your just instructions.

Go away from me, you sinful people. I will obey the commands of my God.

If you are not willing to serve him, decide today whom you will serve, the gods your ancestors worshiped in Mesopotamia or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are now living. As for my family and me, we will serve the LORD."

Give me strength, as you promised, and I shall live; don't let me be disappointed in my hope!

Hold me, and I will be safe, and I will always pay attention to your commands.

I wander about like a lost sheep; so come and look for me, your servant, because I have not neglected your laws.

Do not abandon me, O LORD; do not stay away, my God!

Help me now, O Lord my savior!

Do not banish me from your presence; do not take your holy spirit away from me.

I have the strength to face all conditions by the power that Christ gives me.
