PSALM 119
89 Forever, O LORD, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens.
90 Your faithfulness endures to all generations;
you have established the earth, and it stands fast.
91 By your appointment they stand this day,
for all things are your servants.
92 If your law had not been my delight,
I would have perished in my affliction.
93 I will never forget your precepts,
for by them you have given me life.
94 I am yours; save me, for I have sought your precepts.
95 The wicked lie in wait to destroy me,
but I consider your testimonies.
96 I have seen a limit to all perfection,
but your commandment is exceedingly broad.
– Psalm 119:89-96

PSALM 119 YOUR COMMANDS GIVE LIFE
A poem inspired by this psalm by ILMA
Your word is alive and lasts forever; it is firmly fixed and true
With it, you created all creatures on earth and the whole of nature
You established the earth and all the things you placed on it
Your creation is so beautifully made; it shows your ingenuity
Boundaries were created by you so there will be order
But your word is limitless to bring about love in each other
I will always remember your commands for they give me life
With it, I am able to recognize what is true and what are lies
I will stumble and be blind if I don’t follow your laws
Lord, help me never to fail to obey whatever you say.
