Psalm 118:131
I opened my mouth and drew in the spirit

Your testimonies lord are MARVELLOUS:/ therefore my soul/ has sought them./ The declaration of your wo/rds gives light: and gives understanding to the simple./ I opened my mouth and drew in the spirit:/ because I desired your commandments./ Look upon me and have mercy on me:/ according to the judgement of those who love your name./ Direct my steps according to your word:/ and do not let any injustice have dominion over me./


Psalm 118: 143
[on book: Trouble and anguish]

Redeem me from the slander of men:/ that I may keep your commandments./ make your face shine upon your servant:/ and teach me your just-dealings./ Streams of water have gushed forth from my eyes:/ because they have not kept your law./
YOU ARE JUST LORD: /
