Psalm 119:33-40 (The Message)

God, teach me lessons for living so I can stay the course. 
Give me insight so I can do what you tell me-my whole life one long, obedient response.


Guide me down the road of your commandments; I love traveling this freeway! 
Give me a bent for your words of wisdom, and not for piling up loot. 
Divert my eyes from toys and trinkets,
invigorate me on the pilgrim way.


Affirm your promises to me- 
promises made to all that fear you.


Deflect the harsh words of my critics-
but what you say is always good.
See how hungry I am for your counsel;
preserve my life through your righteous ways!
