Psalm 119 My Pleas- My Part Part 7

Psalm 119: 105-128

Lord,
I do not have any human enemies that I am aware of that are seeking my life at this moment, but I do realize that I do have enemies in dominions and princes and powers of the air!  There are those I love, Lord, that are under attack in their bodies and it breaks my heart.  You, Lord, are the only one who can intervene for and heal them.

My Condition:
I have suffered much;
The wicked have set a snare for me,
Away from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commands of my God!
My flesh trembles in fear of you; I stand in awe of your laws.
My eyes fail, looking for your salvation, looking for your righteous promise.
 
My Praise:
Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
Your statutes are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart.
You are my refuge and my shield;
You reject all who stray from your decrees, for their delusions come to nothing.
All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross;
And because I consider all your precepts right,

My Pleas:
Preserve my life, LORD, according to your word.  
Accept, LORD, the willing praise of my mouth, and teach me your laws.
Sustain me, my God, according to your promise, and I will live; do not let my hopes be dashed.
Uphold me, and I will be delivered
Do not leave me to my oppressors.
Ensure your servant’s well-being; do not let the arrogant oppress me.
Deal with your servant according to your love and teach me your decrees.
I am your servant; give me discernment that I may understand your statutes.
It is time for you to act, LORD; your law is being broken.

My Part:
I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws.
Though I constantly take my life in my hands, I will not forget your law.

but I have not strayed from your precepts.
My heart is set on keeping your decrees to the very end.
I hate double-minded people, but I love your law.
I have put my hope in your word.
I have done what is righteous and just;
Because I love your commands more than gold, more than pure gold,
I hate every wrong path.
I will always have regard for your decrees.
Therefore I love your statutes.
