Psalm 118&119

You, oh Lord, chastened me severely, but in that way, you brought me back to my senses. I saw my sin. I saw the death in it, and I repented. You saved me, Lord. You opened for me the gate of righteousness, and I went through

I praise you, Lord, for you have become my salvation. Lord Jesus, now you are the chief cornerstone of my life, and I rejoice, and I am glad in that.

I give thanks to you, Father, for you are good, and your mercy endures forever. I seek you every day, all day, with my whole heart. I walk in your ways. I keep your precepts, and your Holy Spirit leads me.

Thank you, Lord, that you have opened my eyes, and caused me to see wondrous, living, eternal, joyful, reassuring things.

I meditate on your statutes. Your testimonies and your communion with me are my delight and my counselors. You have dealt your love and your person to me bountifully, oh Lord, and now I live to keep your word!
